Great stuff. God bless ya son.

Great pics!! Beer + Hot Sauce + Testosterone = Pain

And great entertainment for all!

I’ll tell you what, eating 50 - 60 DEFCON ONE wings is no small feat - I can attest to that. It’s tough enough to eat one batch! Nick was like a vaccuum cleaner. In the last round I looked over at his plate he had like 2 to go and I was only half way through.

He had better be at the second defcon wing eating contest. I’m going after the crown!

Definately - As long as we only have to eat 40 or so

LOL = that would be better. I also agree - definitely limit the pre-competition wings! I had like 4 plates of the DEFCON ONE wings before we started. Either way, there was no way I was beating you in the speed rounds

My hat is off to you Nick!! You look like you’ve been rubbing the sauce into your eyes- they look painful. I don’t think I’d manage 1/2 the amount you did-52 wings is a huge amount!

I still have sauce on my hands. I didn’t even try and take out contacts last night!

HAHA - INCREDIBLE!!!!!

Nick, those eyes remind me of eating habaneros in New Mexico!! I think I might have given you a run for your money in eatin wings, man do they look good. Wish I could have been there!

My butt hurt just thinking about it!

“After slowing down, Mad threatens to put Cackalacky on his.”

Isn’t that the Crapalacky?:)

All the guys were great sports, thanks for such a great time

So for us that do not know, who are the people in the pictures. I am going out on a limb saying the d00d with the burning eyes is Nick, he looks like an infant next to all the other guys. J/K fellows
But seriously, who are all of you (HSB names), from left to right clockwise in picture captioned Round 1.
This really helps someone like me put a facr to the nickname.

That looks like so much fun and a great time by a group of CHILEHEADS
I wish I could have been there to watch(you notice I did not say join in)

I had a great time yesterday! I give props where props are due! 52 wings later and he is still alive. I couldn’t beleive how he sucked those wings down! Great pics of the event Nick! Hope your ass is OK.

Hey, Lisa, you look great as the card girl!

A wing eating contest of DeFcon One
Serious HSB eaters will not be undone
Who will win this contest of will
Eat and eat to get your fill

Plates go by one, two and three
Who will win, who could it be
Gulp and smack, chew and swallow
This many wings no one could follow

A winner appears out of the blue
Who could have figured, who could have knew
Its Nick by a plate, and look at the smile
Can you keep them all down, we’ll see in awhile

Our hats off to you Nick, you are the king of kings
No one can match you at eating DeFcon wings
Now home to bed and sleep like the dead
For tomorrow you’ll wake a true Chilehead

Hahaha that is awesome.
You guys should be saving all these poems and quotes for a book down the road.
Chile Head quotes and Poetry.

I think it would be a smash!

We’ll ‘wake a true chilehead’?! Who’s funeral? The cats??

Jim check you email….

Wasnt that what this thread was about.
Ohh wait there was wings in those other pictures.

The previous line was edited to keep it a famlily rated blog.
But it was surely a compliment to Lisa

Okay huvason, I give up Nothing there except a note from Nick and from Lisa.

I’ll try again - sent you emans email address.

MSK YOU OUT THERE

Bret, email me cajohn at cajohns dot com . I’ll give you his info

hey what??? I missed something, what was edited out about me :(???

I want to know if there was some poor sap that had to shake hands with the winner

Jim, to tell you the truth, I was amazed no one asked for latex gloves, we always bring them. I saw a couple people emerge from the mens room with a little more pep in their step than usual.

Kinda what I was wondering about

Don’t know about you, but I’ve not found latex to work real good- especially on your end of the deal (manufacturing). Seems to bleed through pretty easy. Can only imagine that vinegar would make it worse.

You’ve one under your belt now- got plans for the next one?

Hmmm, haven’t run into a problem yet. When we’re dealing with the extract stuff, I don’t allow The Createss anywhere near it. I will usually double up on the gloves.

Looks like you guys had a great time!! I too had wings last night. Just your run of the mill Franks wings but I added a new seasoning I acquired to spice ‘em up. The ingredients of the spice are as follows:

Habanero
Cayenne
Jalapeno
White Pepper
Black Pepper

The heat is fantastic and the flavor is even better! It’s from a new company I have been working with called The Extreme Gourmet. He has some real nice sauces also.

Man, that last pic is something else, I’ve always said “The Eyes Don’t Lie…”

We don’t have an exact destination for the next wing-off. We are working on one in Bergen County, one in Middlesex County, Huvason is working on one in Long Island, and a buddy of mine own’s Duff’s in Brooklyn and wants one once the weather evens out. Needless to say, we’re rather busy. It’s a good problem.

Yup- didn’t take me long- long enough though- to learn to double glove and stay away from the wife also

Finally just changed over to nitrile, especially for the extracts. Seems the FD has a ready supply of them that need rotated out periodically

CaJohn, lemme tell ya, Nick amazed me yesterday, as did Huvason. Cripes, they were chowing down wings like a third worlder inhaling grain. It was kind of nice standing back and watching though. Hell, I felt like Dr. Oppenheimer, “I only build the bomb, I don’t drop it”.

Now that’s a good thing. Nitrile is rather expensive, but Hell, if they’re throwing them out…What a beautiful thing.

Hey Creator… how ’bout a Defcon day here in Wisconsin?

The “bombs” were probably dropped a little later…

Too many cows.
Honestly though, anything is possible, Hell Mad wants to do one in Ireland. Right now, I have bascially NO time off from my regular job, hance the reason for not only doing these things on Saturday, but doing them close to home. I have ben seriously considering jobbing the Defcon Days out so said people. I’m working on the logistics as we speak. It won’t be tomorrow or anything, but we are seriously considering it.

CaJohn on 4/2/2006 at 12:33 pm said:

I think ‘throwing mud’ would be more accurate.

That would be cool. Mike and I would definitely host one if you ever get around to setting something like that up. We have a pretty good wing contingency in this area.

Too many cows??? If my memory serves me correct… NJ is as big a dairy state as WI.

Oh you and me both. When I eat wings I either take them out beforehand or leave them in!

That sure looks like everyone had a blast! I definitely would have entered but i am not so sure I would have won though! Fantastic!!!

Hehe no there was nothing in that line, it was just me playing around.

You’re no fun pmac…

yeah i know
Did you get my e-mails Mr John? I have been having issues with my server.

I love that picture of Nick after having just eating the wings. That is exactly how I feel sometimes. I love eating crawfish too. Nice and spicy!!

So what is the “day job”?

There are technically 2, a senior Credit Analyst, which takes up a vast majority of the time. The other one is underwater search & recovery, mostly recovery. The latter is more of a volunteer position, but I find it quite intriguing. I guess you could say it evens out the stagnant boredom of an office job.

Nick…glad you are still alive ! all of us HSB’s would have missed ya….:-)

Has anyone heard from MAD today?

He’s probably off in a corner playing with his hose

I sent about a 4′ section of 5″ supply hose out to Defcon to surprise him with at the festival.

Sent too fast - that was really cool. He really liked it. It was a cool day!

Didn’t want to say anything before hand. One- I didn’t know if it would get there in time, and two- I didn’t want to take from Defcons’ day since this was his event.

I’ve another section of it I hope(!!) to remember to bring with me to Zest Fest. Stop by and sign- we’ll give it to Nick for his favorite charity.

Not a problem Jim, not a problem at all. I was happy to give it to him. Never before have I seen someone’ s face turn to that of sheer joy when presented with a piece of fire hose.

Doesn’t look like he’s recovered from your wings since he’s missing in action

i am the best wing eater. when’s the next competition?
