JOKE: NEW MEXICO CHILI COOK OFF

**Aemilius Paulus** · 11-15-2009, 18:33

I honestly do not see why the hotness of chili that one can consume appears to be a sort of a masculine "who's got da' biggest Johnson" sort of thing... Anything too hot for an average 12-year old will cause liver damage, starting from very insignificant and then going to moderate in the case of regular Tabasco consumption.

Now, I admit I like hot peppers myself, as I was a Tabasco addict, but I sworn off it a long time ago, and I never consume it any more. Just as a note, the Mexican population is rife with liver cirrhosis and more worryingly, liver cancer - which is one of the most dangerous of all the cancers due to the improbability of its detection. Hot peppers have some benefits, such as antibacterial agents, but like alcohol, they should be used very sparingly.

They say the French and Italian are healthy despite drinking a glass of wine a day, but according to National Geographic that is a myth, since both nations face disturbing incidences of liver disease higher than US (per capita of course)

... I expect hot peppers are not much different.

Everyone knows he should have drank creamy milk and not beer to solve the burning sensation.

The alcohol consumption does not even come close to correlating with the incidences of the liver-related maladies.

in southern mexico where my uncle is from they frequently mix in tequila into their water. while they do not do so to drink the tequila per say, it is still alcohol and often moonshined alcohol, not jose cabenero (sp?)

The term you are looking for is pedantic. And yes his posts often contain overtones of such a maddening writing style that can become quite bothersome. However, his posts, beneath all the slurs against fellow members and overly flowery language there is often a nugget of truth or logic. So I deal with the affronts to my intellect and at least give the dear boy a cursory glance.
