Happy Baby Mr. & Mrs. Eman!
In an amazing show of community spirit and team work, the crew here on the HSB has managed to collect $130 worth of baby paraphernalia buying power (a gift certificate) just for Mr. & Mrs. Eman. This idea was started by Chris K and Nick handled the logistics, but many more chileheads pitched in.
A big thanks to:

Both for chipping into the cause and for keeping this a secret as long as we have (we’ve been on this for about a month). And because we’re the HSB and we are all here for the hot sauce – Sweat ‘N Spice is going to match the total donations with $130 worth of hot sauce.
For those of you that are new, or weren’t on our top secret list, eman moonlights as Captain Capsicum and his hot sauce collection is almost entirely devoted to Blair’s Sauces & Snacks. Not to be out done, Mrs. Eman is also throwing her hat into the hot sauce collecting arena and has began a formidable CaJohn’s collection – no word yet on which side the baby will choose (I’m thinking they’ll go left-wing and collect Dave’s).
The little chilehead isn’t expected until the end of May, so there’s still time if you’d like to check out the Nanista’s Babies R Us Registry (not much is secret on the net) 🙂
Surprise!

Hah okie that is just my silly side coming out 🙂 Boy, girl or godlike male, just as long as it a baby human and not some humunculous-Captain Capsicum offshoot 🙂 ! 🙂
Good luck to the two of you 🙂 Best wishes from all your friends here on the HSB!
For the short time that I have been interacting here on the HSB there have been countless accolades and “Big Thanks” for this and for that, they seem to flow freely and dropped very easily for just about everything. But in my opinion what Nick and Chris have done for the Nanista’s deserves more then just a cookie cutter “Thank You”. I have never been involved in anything like this, or even heard of something even close to it. Nick used the word “Community” and I guess that is the closest term to be able to describe what this is- for someone to come up with a cool idea like this and then actually work it through to ensure it happens takes dedication to the cause and just plain “HEART”. Maybe I am over reacting but I am touched and honored to be able to say I know (somewhat) these people and I am part of a great thing here. Nick, Chris thanks so much for including us is in this special event.
Mr. & Mrs. Eman- you guys rock! We wish you all the luck in the world with upcoming new edition and my God bless you…………

damn i tried so hard to be the #1 comment 🙂 It took so damn long, like an hour 🙂
ok ok 20 minutes 🙂
Thats some nice stuff you wrote there vic.
No thanks is really needed though, thats what its all about 🙂
Ya its really amazing to see such a community spirit and team work. Hats off to HSB . Not easy to collect $130 and that too for donation. I think it is great work .
Anyways nice article.
Thanks for letting us be a part of such a special gesture… Good Luck to Mr ans Mrs Eman 🙂
If I left anyone off the list, please let me know – it’s hard to keep track of so many emails. Only a handful of folks recieved the initial email (mostly those on the HSB Ultimate Blog Sauce List) – not because we wanted to exclude anyone, but because we wanted to keep this under wraps as much as possible. If you’d like to chip in at this point, please drop me an email (nick ‘@’ hotsauceblog.com) or you can go directly to their baby registry (see link in post).

I agree, it’s the idea/the cause that counts- but you have to give credit where credit is due. This is a testament of your character, the both of you are stand-up guys and I have the utmost respect for you and Nick for doing this. 🙂

Yeah thats awesome Nick!! The question is will it go towards Blair’s or CaJohn’s?
Good luck eman and mrseman
WOW. I do not even know what to say. We woke up this morning and we were discussing what we were going to eat for breakfast. Eman went to check his email, as I was still laying in bed, and he started making “oh” noises. I thought he heard back from Mad Reilly and something was wrong. He would not answer me when I asked what was going on. I got out of bed, and to my surprise, saw a gift certificate on eman’s screen and eman’s misty eyes. We cannot say how much this means to us. The HSB has become such a big part of our lives the last few months, and to be able to share the baby with you all is amazing. It is extremely generous of you( of both time and money) to do something like this considering none of us have ever met. I just wanted to say thank you, for being such good people and always caring about others.
WOW…..um…I don’t get teary eyed much but you guys and gals managed to do it….. This IS the coolest things anyone has ever done for us!!!! You all rock!!!!! Thankyou so much from the bottom of our hearts and wish i could give everyone a hug. The money will definitely will go to good use and will post here what we got with it for all to see.
This place, though only a computer screen, has become such a big part of our lives. We love you all. I still cant believe how you all kept this a secret. We had no idea! And then to wake up this morning and see this….how cool.
You know you are addicted when this is the first thing you do in the morning and last thing at night. While all through the day I am thinking about what could be going on here and how the people are doing.
Well…mrseman is craving pancakes so i have to take her to dennys.We be back later tonight after a wonderful day of taping the babys room.
love you all

“I can already see eman crying.”

“You know you are addicted when this is the first thing you do in the morning and last thing at night”
So true eman, I guess many of us are also addicted and just didnt admit it yet…lol
EMAN: For your contribution to the BLOG and your always neat comments that you insert to the threads. I wish You and the Mrs

Baby. CONGRADULATION TO YOU BOTH.
CONGRADULATION Sorry for the spelling!!!!!(T)
Congrats! I hope all goes well with the new addition to the family! You better start off with slightly milder sauces with the baby. Not sure of the effects of the hotter sauces around on newborns 😀
Congrats on haveing a baby Mr and Mrs Eman. Anyway im sure you can buy some sleeping pills or something when the day arrives.
Congrats on the beebee.
If you need a family psychologist hit me up in a couple of years.
Question: Are you starting the baby on capsaicin now or are you waiting til….about 2 to 3.
I hear the baby industry is getting into the hot and spicy craze.
Pablum manufacturers have already started working on the formula
Hot shots for tots! Its a formula for the kids to play drinking games with :)…
Ok i tried 🙂
[Comment ID #29464 Quote]

The baby will have a very special teddy bear to play with… if eman doesn’t play with it first 😉 mrseman- “eman, play nice with Jr- it’s his turn with the bear” 😛
I can see it now. mrseman says’ if the baby’s first words are hot sauce you are gonna get it!!’
😀
CONGRATS EMAN!!!!!
A Baby changes your life in A Lot of ways…it is WONDERFUL!!! Congrat. I have two boys…8 and 6. My youngest likes the Hot Stuff. Chip off the old block.
