Wow, two for two on calgary based hot sauce makers.. Curses now you all know my secret manufacturers.. hehe.. I tell ya between Uncle Big and Sam, My work, fridge and wall of flame is well stocked.. Nice work Anthony on another fine interview.

And congrats Uncle Big to making the HSB

I have to ask something here. Is there a massive enclave of chiliheads in Alberta? My reason for asking this is as of late, we have been inundated with orders to Calgary. That region is now tipping the scales as the best market we have. It’s strange, but I’m just wondering.

There happens to be a (from what several people have told me) a REALLY good sauce (almost famous) hot or BBq from alberta, and being the Beef capital of Canada there are probably a lot of sauce lovers there

“I’ve been told it’s kind of like masturbating with a cheese grater” !!?!!

Where do I get some?!

Well apparently there is enough, I know i have been asking the folks around here to pick up Defcon, so perhaps I am begining to see the results of my constant bickering err… asking hehe..
As per the two interview’s we have a couple of manufacturers and distributors in the area, and some manufacturers in surrounding area as well. The BBQ sauce that Pmac is talking about I believe is the Cattle Boyz sauces.. And I may add that it is amazing. Both the original and the Sweet Hot bbq sauce as well.

Creator, perhaps you should come out west for the stampede hoorah and have a dandy of a time with sauces of all sorts hehe. I am sure I can find a bar or two that would serve nectars to lessen the heat of a hot sauce or two.

Hey pmac - that BBQ sauce is from Cattle Boyz - you can get it at Costco.

Yeah thats it Cattle Boyz. That sounds familliar. How good is it IYO . Is it hot sauce or a BBQ sauce?

Hi pmac. It is good - definately worth trying some out. It is a true BBQ sauce though. I have only tried the regular version and was pleased with it - no noticeable heat in that one but I think they have a spice up version. Go check out their web-site.

You guys crack me up. The Huvason can naver escape, he’s done. As for a cage match, Mr. Big looks large, no need for a cage, I’m thinking chemicals at a distance. Wait a minute, why am I even considering chem-ing this guy, he makes hot sauces, he is of The Brotherhood. The Huvason shall be vilified for his attempt at misdirection once again.

39 states, 6 countries and 11 restaurants in a year. I would call that a pretty good start at domination. Oh yeah, and the 2 Scovies with 1st place included for wings. Personally, I don’t take the angle of busting on other people’s products, like Cackalacky did. To put down others products just to tout your own is kind of cheesy. Big talk yes, small and/or negative effect in my opinion. If your product is good, so be it, prove it with sales, not put-downs and manly talk, bottom line. Stuff like ,”What sets me aside from the other hot sauce producers out there is my dedication to the quality of ingredients in my products.” Well, isn’t that special, I guess he’s stating everyone else in the industry uses crap, nice.

That’s pretty impressive Mr Creator. All that, and still time to rain hell on Casa Huvason

More pics tonight from the standoff - I promise.

Ahhh The Huvason speaks. You see, the Defcon Hoards need no help from me, they all know what to do to break the Casa Huvason Stronghold. Meanwhile, I work on global domination behind the scenes. Oh, you should have your stuff today or tomorrow.

That is, of course, Casa Huvason is still intact. I’m guessing as long as the little fellow is still being held captive by those terrbile DEFCON sauces, Casa Huvason should be safe.

Thanks, keep me updated.

Allow yourself to think you’re safe, it will ease the pain.

I find it much better to let the products do the talking… just my style. Others have other ways of promoting, nothing wrong with that, just not my style… 275 awards in 7+ years…

Hello Chile Heads, Uncle Big here.
I just want to say something before more people find my comments as negative and to stop anyone from getting their boxers in a bunch.

I’m not hear to bash anyone or state that their product is crap (ouch that hurts), far from it. I’m just commenting on the consumer not expecting more from their condiments and perhaps my comments came out wrong.
They have so many quality sauces available outside of the mainstream that there’s this misconception that all that’s available to them is what’s on their grocery store shelves. Most of those products don’t use expensive or “quality” ingredients just so the retail price points fits in with Joe Six Packs wing budget for the week. That’ not a bold statement, that’s a fact. At least that what’s I’ve seen and I don’t think I’m speaking out of turn by saying that either.

People should expect more, and products like Defcon, Cajohns, Blairs and other quality award winning gourmet sauce producers have raised the bar in quality and taste over the years and I just want people to shop smarter and realize you get what you pay for. I bow to in great reverence to the sauce Gods in attendance on this site that have proven their sauce verility with quality products, awards won and market penetration. My interview with Anthony was done with a tounge in cheek attitude and my hope was to stir the pot a little because, that’s what I do best.

I”m all about quality and I may be new to the sauce arena, but I’ve been eating sauce for over 25 years and have a love for the industry. I’m not here to step on toes, but I’M UP FOR A CAGE MATCH ANYTIME. As long as Nick can webcast it on HSB, that would be cool. The BrotherHood demands it. LOL. I love this shit.

So please, don’t take my capsicum induced ranting as personal or professional shots, it’s all in good fun and hopefully in good taste.
If you don’t believe me, well then, TASTE MY PAIN and let my product make a believer out of you.

maybe he isn’t stating that everyone else uses crap, maybe he is stating that it takes him awhile to find the perfect ingredients and because of that he is dedicated to it, I don’t know the first thing about where he lives or how easy it is to find the ingredients for the sauces, he has one sauce under his belt, and maybe he doesn’t have the major resources like some of you do to get your pepper mashes and such. forgive me for my opinion if I am off base here, but we only get to read what he said, not actually ask questions for clarification. (although that would be nice) like I said this is all a maybe. I am just adding a new perspective here

MAYBE he is saying you all use crap…..he looks mean enough to back up anything he says

Ya know what, she’s right, and I’ve held my tongue on this matter long enough. So here it is. Creator, you talk about a “brotherhood” of hot sauce makers and how you’re a part of it. Members of a “brotherhood” do not try to pick apart, analyze, reassemble and twist what other members of this “brotherhood” say. Uncle Big IS competition for you, and what I, as well as others here on the blog, hae noticed is whenever someone bigger, better, and more established in the hot sauce industry speaks up, you either shut up until the attention to that particular manufacturer dies down, or you make one hell of an effort to divert the attention back to you. You may have a good product, but you’re not the only one and your gloating over the scovie awards and what not is poor attempt to make yourself seem high and mighty. A brotherhood consists of people like CaJohn, Blair, Danny and Lee Cash, people that back each other up and support one another’s products, not come up with “conspiracy theroy” about how another hot sauce maker is supposedly putting you down. I have tried to be subtle, but you just don’t get it. You have some good marketing strategies, but you’re starting to make yourself look no better than Cackalacky. The spot light is not yours and other people are in it no matter how hard you try to push them into the shadows. Until you understand this and learn to share like a good little boy, you’ll never be as big as the other great hot sauce makers that grace YOU with their presence and comments. The other thing that makes people like CaJohn, Blair, and Danny Cash great is that they don’t shun the little guys that have helped sell their products to pay homage to the bigger retailers. They spread the love. I’m sure by now you’re thinking about what a jackass I am and that’s fine, your opinion of me is inconsequestial, but what it would be in your best interest to take what I have said here to heart. You will go far if you do.

geeze, that was ruff. Creator was just saying he uses great ingredients too. His and Uncle Big are so far from the same type of sauce…Uncle Big’s is meant to hurt you, the Creator’s are meant to please the palate.

See, how I see it, using Natural African Oleoresin to make your sauce so hot it hurts you, really isn’t hard to do.

Thaksweet, you’re half right.
Uncle Big’s is incredibly hot, I used 1 million scoville extract, so that goes without saying.
But don’t be fooled, Uncle Big’s is incredibly tasty as well. Our customers are always telling us it’s a great balance between flavour and heat, believe it or not it can be done.
We use Oleoresin in most of our products for it’s flavour benefits.
I guess you’ll have to try some for yourself if you haven’t already.
No conspiracies, no mud slinging, just hot sauce.

Ya know, she WAS right, and she said it the right way - politely and in an uninsulting way. If you are going to say things like this, how about in an email to the Creator? Do you we really all need to read this attempt to publicly embarass him? Whether he’s wrong or right we don’t need to read your lecture to him about business.

Adam, you do have a point, but my words do not apply to just the hot sauce industry, it applies to all business. Ask any successful business person and they will tell you that customer service is key. Now I understand your feelings about what I have posted. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, even Creator and myself. We are free to express those opinions as you, Creator, myself, and just about everyone here has. I understand that this is a place that people come to have a good time. I am very analytical and not much goes over my head, nor do I ignore the underlying messages. Vaguery and beating around the bush don’t work with me. It would be pointless to try and e-mail him considering that he doesn’t reply to e-mails from some retailers, that shall remain nameless, that WERE selling his product but are now trying to get rid of it due to the poor business relationship. If nobody wants people to discuss the business practices of hot sauce manufacturers, then hot sauce manufacturers need to stop using the HSB as a marketing tool to suck people in and promote their products. I think its great that there are manufacturers that come here on the blog and join in our banter, but if you’re going to try to draw attention to yourself and your product, expect attention to be given. Now, for one that complains about conspriacy theorists, he has done a pretty good job of making his own conspiracy theory about another hot sauce manufacturer today. Everyone else plays nice, why can’t he?

excuse the typos I was on the phone while trying to type…. and yes I am trying to put my helmet on as well

Good grief, I dissapear to “work” for a little while and all hell breaks loose.. hehe.. Well i like hot sauce, and if anyone makes a hot sauce that I like and can use on a regular basis, then its good enough for me. So thats my $.02 and it includes anyone who makes a hot sauce .. l

And as a side note, I can neither confirm or deny the possibility that he is in fact Bam Bam Bigalo. But some of the wrestlers tatoos may be faked hmmmm.. hehe..

You guys better be nice or you’ll get the “Wham-Bam-Thank You Ma’am” (a flying headbutt for any non-wrestling fans out there)

who cares about the flying head butt, just being chased or sat on by bam bam is scary enough

Seems we have something else in common (besides hot sauce) I too have been working in a salon for 6 years and am traumatized on a daily basis!

Ryan, I was actually only referring to Mrs. Ryan’s comment. Nice to see a comment made out of thought and not pure reaction. I did not mean yours was out of pure reaction. Sometimes I purposely do not say certain things or comment because I know people take things out of context and pounce at the first opportunity. I don’t think people for the most part are looking to start a mudslinging contest when they decide to speak up. It was nice to see a voice of reason, thats all. Plus now we have the salon connection. lol

Ok, sorry for misunderstanding. Like I said, taking a wild guess Good to see someone else in the salon industry. The Mrs. will love it

Uncle Big, I’m definitely going to order some. I found a site in the US to lower the shipping charges. I’m sure it’s going to blow my head off, but I’ll email you after to let you know what I think.

BTW, I thought the interview was awesome, unique and gritty.

Ryan on 4/11/2006 at 11:25 am said:

Ya know what, she’s right, and I’ve held my tongue on this matter long enough. So here it is. Creator, you talk about a “brotherhood” of hot sauce makers and how you’re a part of it. Members of a “brotherhood” do not try to pick apart, analyze, reassemble and twist what other members of this “brotherhood” say. Uncle Big IS competition for you, and what I, as well as others here on the blog, hae noticed is whenever someone bigger, better, and more established in the hot sauce industry speaks up, you either shut up until the attention to that particular manufacturer dies down, or you make one hell of an effort to divert the attention back to you. You may have a good product, but you’re not the only one and your gloating over the scovie awards and what not is poor attempt to make yourself seem high and mighty. A brotherhood consists of people like CaJohn, Blair, Danny and Lee Cash, people that back each other up and support one another’s products, not come up with “conspiracy theroy” about how another hot sauce maker is supposedly putting you down. I have tried to be subtle, but you just don’t get it. You have some good marketing strategies, but you’re starting to make yourself look no better than Cackalacky. The spot light is not yours and other people are in it no matter how hard you try to push them into the shadows. Until you understand this and learn to share like a good little boy, you’ll never be as big as the other great hot sauce makers that grace YOU with their presence and comments. The other thing that makes people like CaJohn, Blair, and Danny Cash great is that they don’t shun the little guys that have helped sell their products to pay homage to the bigger retailers. They spread the love. I’m sure by now you’re thinking about what a jackass I am and that’s fine, your opinion of me is inconsequestial, but what it would be in your best interest to take what I have said here to heart. You will go far if you do.

Shun the little guy? What in God’s name are you talking about, I don;t even think He knows? Perhaps your conspiracy theories are getting to you. I say nothing bad about anyone’s product and NEVER have, pally. I have stated and stated again (I guess you didn’t read those posts, ahhh, selective theorizing again I see) I just don’t like people saying their stuff is better because everyone elses stuff sucks. Capiche?

huvason on 4/11/2006 at 1:39 pm said:

Wow, I’m going to have to re-read this, but I didn’t think the Creator said anything out of line! I’ve been skimming the thread at work - will have to re-read tonight. What exactly did I miss?

Actually Huv, you didn’t miss anything. Perhaps the Capricorn One theory has found the way into their grey matter. Nothing more. Big explained what he meant, and I commend him for it. It’s only certain individuals that want to hold on to something pre-explanation and run with the deflated ball.

As for taking stuff out of context, a full sentence, ,”What sets me aside from the other hot sauce producers out there is my dedication to the quality of ingredients in my products.” , is not taken out of context, and that sentence is what I was responding to. Christ, talking to you 2 is like talking to a tag-team partnership. What part of “I didn’t agree” with this sentence don’t both of you understand. Big was nice enough to come on and explain it, and both of you seem to have missed that part, so as to propagate your hollow conspiracy. Fine by me, I just find it funny.

We’re all friends here, and Big is a member of The Brotherhood, as previously explained. Drop the conspiracy flotsam.

And as for “The Homunculus Chronicles”, I found them funny.

I read it twice - fully, and still don’t get it. Maybe this has been festering a while, and this was the proverbially straw?

Either way, please POST ON. That’s what makes this blog great! I may not agree, but you are certainly entitled…..

I think you shoud remember when it comes to direct personal attack, mild or otherwise, he is one of us on the other end of the screen and he has feelings and emotions, and I for one think he is Hillarious. An absolute delightful addition to the blog. He has cunning linguistic skils, I imaging his wife is exceptionally happy!!!

Yeah, I hate when you go to a blog, and it actually forces you to read stuff you don’t want to. Maybe the Creator does has control - or is it Nick? Hmmmmmm

— Sorry couldn’t resist.

BTW, Excellent interview Anthony and Uncle Big. Great sense of humor - well done.

ok does anyone else hate the new quote this thing….. sorry nick HI pmac!!!!! when do we all group hug?

Uncle Big on 4/11/2006 at 12:00 pm said:

Thaksweet, you’re half right.
Uncle Big’s is incredibly hot, I used 1 million scoville extract, so that goes without saying.
But don’t be fooled, Uncle Big’s is incredibly tasty as well. Our customers are always telling us it’s a great balance between flavour and heat, believe it or not it can be done.
We use Oleoresin in most of our products for it’s flavour benefits.
I guess you’ll have to try some for yourself if you haven’t already.
No conspiracies, no mud slinging, just hot sauce.

ok look Uncle Big, after a long day at work slinging mud can be refreshing and good for the skin, In Oregon it’s easy to find mud it’s all the rain. I am actually looking forward to maybe trying out some of your pain…. but if it hurts to much I may take you up on that cage match

Nobody said your stuff sucks. Talk about being selective. Just another example of how you don’t accept the facts as they are. As far as conspiracy goes, here’s the definition for you:

“An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act”

The is no conspiracy here, only your paranoia of one. Of course you don’t see that. I do, contrary to your belief, know what I’m talking about, as do others. It just happens that I’m the only one that says it openly which is fine with me. The only thing even close to conspiracy going on here is the free exchange of information outside the blog that you are not privy to. So have yourself a wonderful evening, have fun with, by your own definition, YOUR conspiracy theories.

I agree Mrs. R. Not much liking the new quoting. Wondering if Nick can limit the nesting?

Seems we have something else in common (besides hot sauce) I too have been working in a salon for 6 years and am traumatized on a daily basis! As for whats going on here today, thank you for speaking your peace with dignity, class and an objective point of view. Nice to see a comment like that made out of thought and not pure reaction.

HI Kristi do you work in full service? and yes I agree every day is a trama, but man do I hear good gossip… oh and I have even brought a few customers over to the hot side I just can’t get them to visit the blog yet

Here’s another definition:

flotsam: floating remnants of a shipwreck.

Gotta love the Creator’s use of language

Oh Mrs. Ryan I’m sure we could swap some good stories. Yes, it’s full service and I actually started as an esthetician but then became bored by the monotony and utter slience hour after hour. I’ve been managing the place I”m at now for 3 years. It’s great knowing these clients for as long as I have, they are some of our (THT) biggest supporters. You can’t beat how fast they spread the word, anything to talk about! i’ll assume from past comments your a hairdresser?

I manage a salon right now as a matter of fact, but we aren’t full service… cuts and perms only which is fine with me. I taught beauty school for 3 years and owned a salon for 2. I am licensed in nails also but only do my own, it’s a great job and your right nothing can get the word out faster than a few clients in a salon. I talked a guy into checking out nicks site for good hot sauce, his wife freaked at the name she thought it was a porn site… LOL

There are NO competitors in this business! Only a lot of friends doing the same thing. Those that feel otherwise are quickly ostracized and marked for who/what they are

ROFL, OMG that’s hilarious, it could get worse when you start discussing fees for services too

Thank you ma’am! That has been my philosophy from day one and most other folks as well. It only takes a day or two scraping up dead people before you see what is and *is NOT* important

Like seeks like!

I agree as well. The Three Hot Tamales have had this conversation time and time again. We are so thankful for the advice and support we’ve recieved on a daily basis. The HSB and those we’ve met through it have never shunned us little guys and we find that amazing. “Competitors” ? even if there are some, they’ve been nothing but helpful, open and honest. All Hail the HSB!!! lol

Kristi on 4/11/2006 at 9:29 pm said:

I could go on and on but some of the stories although hilarious are prolly inappropriate for the blog

One reason ‘little people’ aren’t shunned is that 99% of this industry ARE ‘little people’! Even Blair still had a ‘day job’ when I first started doing business with him. CaJohn did untill a year or so ago. The hot sauce business is still very much a ‘cottage industry’ with most folks (even some of the bigger ones!) still holding other jobs to pay the bills. Attitudes & egos are quickly sniffed out and snuffed out in such an environment!

if the sauce don’t smell good we don’t smell good…… (words borrowed from vidal sassoon and changed a bit)

thakswet on 4/11/2006 at 11:34 am said:

geeze, that was ruff. Creator was just saying he uses great ingredients too. His and Uncle Big are so far from the same type of sauce…Uncle Big’s is meant to hurt you, the Creator’s are meant to please the palate.

See, how I see it, using Natural African Oleoresin to make your sauce so hot it hurts you, really isn’t hard to do.

swet, seems your getting close to P-ing off the Big “Uncle”
Guy.

So have yourself a wonderful evening, have fun with, by your own definition, YOUR conspiracy theories.

Ryan, for over a month now, you have not only questioned my integrity (Caption This #1), questioned my intentions (same thread), and have had silly little remarks to nearly everything I have said. So be it, just don’t expect happy little rebuttals to what you have to say. My integrity is beyond question, and my intentions, while sometimes veiled, are always proper, and well thought out. You stated a lot of people think the way you do, but just don’t voice it. Hmmm, sounds like a case of megalomania to me. I don’t know what brought on your constant beration of me, but have at it, as your words have become hollow.

I never flat out said anyone said my stuff sucks, the quote I pasted a few times is what I was responding to, you might want to look up the word ‘implied’ in the dictionary, it’s under I.

Your funny conspiracy theories (my supposed lying about having a prize for the Caption This), though laughable at best, were taken as a personal slight by the Createss. When she is affected by some confused misdirected vitriol, with no good intention, it bothers me, perhaps you understand this, it matters not. Needless to say, I will continue to voice my opinions, and have fun, and you can continue your misguided verbal assaults against my character, but as I stated, they are misguided, way off base, and just plain silly. I have tried to mend the fence with you on more than one occaision, but you don’t seem willing to partake of the olive branch. I don’t know what I ever did to deserve your misdirected attitude, but know this as well, I will not back down, nor do I have to. Perhaps this will shed a little light into your world.

Preach on brother. Creator/Homuculus is becoming tiresome….

sorry….

No need to be sorry for speaking your mind….we all have our views. I’m sure that Defcon respects it..

I do. The whole Homunculus thing was a goof. I got a good laugh out of it, as I imagine some of you did as well. He will remain our mascot.

And now back to our originally scheduled program…….

In other words, let’s all enjoy the enlightenment and brotherhood we are the beneficiaries of here and keep the personal stuff between appropriate parties. Peace.

Heck, I’m afraid to post any more ransom pictures. Will have to work on his release quietly, the poor Homunculus

Morning Tracy! NC is a great place. We have family in VA with a lake house in NC (Lake Gaston I think).

Glad you are liking the sauce! Spread the love and thank you!

Try it in a Bloody Mary. That I’m told is very good too.

Hey Guys,

Nick created an off topic section. How about we keep it to the post at hand and take the bickering elsewhere. You are flooding my inbox!

Here here Anthony!

My appologies. The only problem is that comments don’t show on the side, and they are easily missed.

Ryan, for over a month now, you have not only questioned my integrity (Caption This #1), questioned my intentions (same thread), and have had silly little remarks to nearly everything I have said. So be it, just don’t expect happy little rebuttals to what you have to say. My integrity is beyond question, and my intentions, while sometimes veiled, are always proper, and well thought out. You stated a lot of people think the way you do, but just don’t voice it. Hmmm, sounds like a case of megalomania to me. I don’t know what brought on your constant beration of me, but have at it, as your words have become hollow.

I never flat out said anyone said my stuff sucks, the quote I pasted a few times is what I was responding to, you might want to look up the word ‘implied’ in the dictionary, it’s under I.

Your funny conspiracy theories (my supposed lying about having a prize for the Caption This), though laughable at best, were taken as a personal slight by the Createss. When she is affected by some confused misdirected vitriol, with no good intention, it bothers me, perhaps you understand this, it matters not. Needless to say, I will continue to voice my opinions, and have fun, and you can continue your misguided verbal assaults against my character, but as I stated, they are misguided, way off base, and just plain silly. I have tried to mend the fence with you on more than one occaision, but you don’t seem willing to partake of the olive branch. I don’t know what I ever did to deserve your misdirected attitude, but know this as well, I will not back down, nor do I have to. Perhaps this will shed a little light into your world.

All I have to say is this. Nothing was “implied” ( yes, I know the definition, I’m not as dumb or uneducation as you would hope I am), what happened is you INFERED what was being said. Infered can also be found in the dictionary under I. As for saying that there is no prize for the caption this thing, I don’t know why I have to keep telling you this, but go back and read the stuff again. I’m not the one that said that, but I know who did. READ READ READ. The information is there for you to use, I suggest you do.

Despite what you may think, I did recognize your efforts to “mend the fence” and I appreciated that. I made efforts as well. What I honestly can’t stand, and this happens too often to ignore, is your misquoting, twisting peoples’ words, and the over inflated ego. There was nothing intended as an insult in the caption this thread, you simply have no tollerance for certain kinds of humor. That’s all fine and good, but make that known before you throw a tantrum like you did when you returned from NM.

Megalomania you say? Well isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black. I beieve in expression of thoughts, feelings, and ideas, and I generally try to be very direct about it in an attempt to avoid confusion. I’ll admit that I have beat around the bush on some things in an effort to keep things blowing up into this. But even now you are getting things confused. I speak up because I have nothing to lose by doing so as where others feel they do. If it weren’t for the fact that I would be breaking the trust that people have given me, I would fill you in on all the juicy debate that you are unaware of.

I have read others comments here on the blog, and in an effort to keep the blog what it is intended to be, feel free to get my e-mail address from Nick. If you’d like to continue this, or try to clear this all up, we can do it that way. Ball’s in your court, do with it what you will.

To everyone else…Sorry. I’ll do my best to continue this as it may outside of the blog. Hope you all, even Creator, have a great day.

“All I have to say is this.”

What happened.
That implies a sentece or 3. I think both of you should take it to e-mails as no one reads the whole thing anymore probably.
It at this stage is a one upmanship to get the last word thinking the other one will now “GET” what the other is saying.
It is not working, call each other finnish it, get it out of your systems whatever you gotta do, whip ‘em out and lay it to rest.
Please for everyones sake here, let it be.

Regards,

pmac

and Ryan it was not you that prompted me. I was going to say the same thing after the creators last post but the blairs thing kinda tied me up for a bit there.
I did not read the post so i have no idea what was said by you ryan. Too long, same as creators last one too.
It was an impartial statement for sure.

It’s all good Pmac, I’ve made the offer to him, he can either take it or leave it. The Blair’s thing got me all distracted too

Good point Brian,
if we could get at least the last 3 comments listed on the left it would get so much more use

You sure about that pmac???

I kind of like a little riff here on the HSB

maybe we just need a “steel cage” section to keep it in…lol

DING!

That was the bell gentlemen, please resume….

Sorry guys, can you say Instigator???

ok so everyone is going to stop dwelling on it and getting butt hurt? great… we can go back to having fun…although some of the language cracked me up.

Chris I suggest you leave it alone. just a bit of friendly advice.

Again I ask if it’s possible to have particular people not show up in the comments section?

No problem Thak, you can be the first to go

can’t say that I do…..

Good Morning thak.

I ever sent any hate email; now don’t start some conspiracy thing against me.

Ok People,

Enough. Take it somewhere else. If you don’t have anything to say on topic of the post…..take it somewhere else.

Sorry guys, You know I have to agree with ryan a bit. I can dish it out and take it as well. Its mainly all meant in fun and to get a laugh to lighten the mood on here. It takes alot to get me “to the line” yet “push me over it”. Well, I am there. I can say I know what ryan is feeling and its a shame to post it out in the open, but sometimes its for the good of all to see.

No cheap shots here, and sir (you know who you are), I meant that statement about the “nice” e-mail you sent me. I wasnt going to ever mention it or give you the intent that it even bothered me. But you seem to keep going right back there and mentioning your feelings about certain people. I thought after you bashing eman and the mrs and even bringing Nick into the whole ebay auction thing the other day you would have learned a lesson. Seems that isnt the case.

So let me tell you again

If you dont like someone or the comments they leave DO NOT READ THEM!!! move on and keep the negative comments to yourself. I could go on and on here and tear you up, but I will not drop to your level….

Mrs.Ryan on 4/12/2006 at 10:56 am said:

Good Morning thak.

He who makes the comment should look into the mirror. see ya swet!

Thank you for saying that.
there is always going to be someone that someone else doesn’t like, but for real when enough is enough it just has to stop. so I say as of right now it all goes to email, messenger whatever you prefer and move on. thak, I am not sure what is going on with you and chris and really don’t want to either, I hope it gets resolved OFF THE BLOG, for all our sakes.

chris sometimes you make me go like this

Id never mess with him

for my final post of the day…. I think the interview was very well done, I love Uncle Bigs sense of humor and dedication to be among the best, I hope you do more interviews Anthony.

I’d be willing to bet that your husband makes you do that sometimes too

Thank you for THAT post Mrs. Ryan. Before that, the last post actually about this review done by Anthony was post #91 by Huvason. So thats about 100 comments all showing disrespect to Anthony’s writing and work. What would motivate him to do another?? Without people like him working and starting these threads, people would have nowhere to argue! Think about that!
