Hey Chris.. great to finally meet you! All is good today, although did wake up in the middle of the night with the worst case of heartburn I ever had - had to down a HUGE glass of milk to put the fire out!

Very cool. Well except the wings. Looks like everyone had great time. Can’t wait . Someday tell I get to meet all of you. Maybe when We have the Jungle Jim’s Foods of Fire Show.

Thanks Creator for another great day… cant wait for the next one…

Nice pic’s Nick…..Did mine make it to you ??? How’s everyone doing today ?? Just checking in, now it is back to sleep…..Hey huv sorry to hear about the heartburn.

Had a great time! But I mean how could you not? Wings and beer? That to me is a perfect way to spend the afternoon! Not to mention some SoCo and lime thrown in the mix. Wouldn’t you agree Lisa?

Yeah, about that trip home . . .
Nick and I are fondly referring to it as the Death Ride.
But it’s all good; Death Match + Death Ride = Good Times!

Yes, really great to meet everyone. DK, Mr. Freeze, Big Show, thanks for the extra effort to be there. It was alot of fun despite all the tears! Can’t wait to see everyone again.

Laura, how are you feeling this morning, we did alot of shots (we were actually prepping you for Texas lol ) Tell Nick to post one of us doing the shots

Looks like a great time was had by all!!!

I think I could have held my own in the deathmatch!

Kudos to the Creator and everyone who made it there. It was a great time, and next time…gonna have to finish all the .5 wings……

Hope to see everyone again and more, maybe even Texas.

At least you had some, more then I can say.

Creator said he granted me one reprieve. We will see, Im still not thinking I will enter a deathmatch.

ughhh I feel much better today thanks, those shots did me in… its all Laura’s fault..

Sure looks like you guys have a great time! If only I lived many hours closer. I think ZF will be great with so many bloggers going. Now if we could have a DC deathmatch in Ft Worth that would be a like a world championship

I feel fine. I was able to sober up during the long (Death) ride back home. But consider me prepped for Texas- I can’t wait!

MY FAULT? It was 3 against 1- you guys put the 3 Hot Tamale Spell on me!

Thanks for posting the pics! I can now *ignore* huv when he tries to give me that ‘just a poor old fat guy’ line!

ok, I guess we did, but being a hot tamale means taking the slack for having another drunk tamale blame you… lol
did that make any sense or am I still buzzed lol

Good morning Kristi your not fooling us…….and speaking of buzzed I think I make have a drink and celebrate my slim win over huv. Glad to finally meet you Tamales, although it should be Three Crazy Hot Tamales(LOL). From what I see Texas is going to be killer…………

I think another road trip is due! You in?

I may be, but I thinK I would try and hop a plane. That would be long drive to Texas, but the drive may have some more adventure….

The adventure is half the fun. I’m probably gonna take the time and drive it, see some things on the way or way back. And I have a bro in AZ, so I can swing thru there and visit too.

thebigshow on 7/23/2006 at 3:10 pm said:

I’ll give it some thought…….and let you know………..

Sounds good…

Need Creator to bring some .5, see how many people want to eat some deathmatch wings!

If only you werent all continent away, id have probably passed out eating too many defcon 1 wings!

Ha! my sentiments exactly! Much too hot for me.

Well, I made it home in one piece. Pics look great, no time to read all the comments, so I’ll catch up tommorrow.

Huge thanks to Creator for such a great time. Also want to let everyone know that it was great meeting them and that I had a great time.

Ok, I’m off to get some sleep so I can hopefully make it to work in the morning.

Looks like a great time everybody! I really hope to be able to make a Defcon Day at some point in my life - I’ve been known to eat a wing or fifty Creator, how about “The Defcon Roadshow”, you could tour the country! I know you are much too busy for that, but oh how happy everyone would be!

WAKE UP . IT’S MONDAY

Defcon Roadshow, now that’s funny! However, one never knows. All I have to do is get rid of the 9-5 job (not for the foreseeable future), buy a trailer, and off we go!

Awwww c’mon Bret, we have competitions with all different levels of heat. You can sit out the next “Deathmatch”, but you gotta join in one of them.

Ok Defcon, so when is the next Defcon Day, need to mark it on my calendar

Lisa on 7/24/2006 at 9:48 am said:

Well, tentatively, as we discussed on Saturday, we are working on one slated for 8/19 at Duff’s in Brooklyn (right by the Williamsburg bridge).

We are also doing a demo for Whole Foods Supermarket in Millburn, NJ next Saturday (7/29) in front of the store. We are officially on there shelves right now, and if all goes according to the “Defcon Rules of Engagement”, we will be expanding our exposure into many more Whole Foods Supermarkets in the very near future. This should allow many people the ability to purchase our stuff closer to their home.

You and me. FOOD LOL

Nice Defcon, you can count on THT being there… cant wait

All I have to do is get rid of the 9-5 job (not for the foreseeable future), buy a trailer, and off we go!

That’s called retirement in my neck of the woods!

Creator, just want to tell ya, no regrets sitting out the Deathmatch. The sample was plenty to screw with me on the return trip home yesterday. That was the hottest wing sauce I have ever tasted, crazy hot!

We gotta figure out a way to get a Defcon Day south of the Mason Dixon line. Even if it means that I have to do the Deathmatch.

8/19???? uuugggghhhh Can’t make that, but I’m definately in the next DeathMatch I’m at, got to make it further.

Anyone want to play Mud VolleyBall on 8/19? Lots of beer, but no wings… LOL

Hey, how was it you didn’t even seem to flinch in the deathmatch? Not a tear, nothing!!!! We’ve been talking about it and just can’t make sense of it. Do you in fact have a tongue with tastebuds or did you rip it out somehow before you showed up? lol

It was definately hot, my normal reaction is the hiccups, which is what I had to stop for. Then I was just too far behind. If I thought they couldn’t sit there for the 10 minutes, I would have finished. Next time I have to finish no matter what, just to say I ate them all at least.

lol, please. I had a fingertip full of it and my throat literally closed up on me! I was then in the bathroom blowing my nose as my sinusis decided to clear out! I think I’m better at doing shots, drinking beer and taking pictures. I’ll leave the bravery to you guys!

You all definately did a good job on the shots, may have to fall off the wagon for a day next time and join you in the shots. I thought for a minute you were gonna say, you were in the bathroom talking to Ralph on the big white telephone.

Well off to work….back later….

No sense in falling off the wagon, all I had was a headache all day Sunday! I’d definitely be up close and personel with Ralph if I joined in thats for sure! ” The big, white, telephone”, hahahaha.

How come Nick didn’t koin in the deathmatch? I saw the last photos he had bleeding eyes crying and all, so I don’t see how he wouldnt wanna participate in this one! Was the last contest the “Last” contest Nick? for heat at least?
So how did it work, was a speed eating deathmatch? If bigshow didnt even flinch was it because he took his time eating…I know too may questions, but hey we werent there so we need som particulars…

But it does not surprise me that a Hab farmer can hold his own and then some in a heat contest

spell check next time

I dont blame Nick a bit, I wasnt going to sit there either.

Creator is

They all had 10 wings and 5 minutes to eat them. After signing the waiver of course… Then they had to sit for 10 minutes at the table without anything to drink and sweat it out. Trick was you needed to finish your wings first cause if they all made it to the end and lasted the 10 minutes it was the first one that finished them was declared the winner.

So who is the 4th Tamale?

Howdy all, how’s it going?? Just got home from roofing all day 10 hours in 90 degree heat. I think I would rather eat the deathwings again…..(LOL)

Kristi, he was in the Defcon 1 contest. We got there just as the #2 contest started. I’m proud of him. I figured he would stop after a couple, but he actually got 8 down I think. He doesn’t eat a lot of spicy foods unless I instigate something at family gatherings. Originally he was gonna do the #2, but we arrived a little late for it. Gotta say he showed more guts than his uncle.

Just wanna say, this comment is what I had pictured in my mind if I did the Deathmatch. I have been down that road before and it wasn’t fun. If I hadn’t tasted it, I would have been sitting at the table with huvason, thebigshow, and MrFreeze. When I tasted the Deathmatch sauce, I had an immediate flashback. I gotta say that Creator’s Deathmatch sauce was the hottest wing sauce I have ever tasted.

Well despite the fact that you weren’t in the contest it was still really great that you guys were there. You were smart to taste the deathmatch sauce first, i know I had to just out of curiousity and WOW!!! I give those three alot of credit.

A lot of credit is an understatement! Thanks Kristi, forgot to say that I really enjoyed meeting the Three Hot Tamales (or was it 4, or 5?). You guys are awesome. Now that I’m stocked on Defcon for a while, gotta order some more Crybaby and Steaksauce from Nick. All I have is a signed Crybaby on the shelf, and its hard to let it sit!

Speaking of being stocked up on Defcon, Creator, that Habby-Horse is “off da chain”! carried a jar in to work with me today and it’s half gone. Everyone loves it!
