« « Previous | Review: Tahiti Joe’s Ahi of Kahuna XX Hot Sauce » »
It seems that life
Is always moving along
Things to look forward to
Helps keep us strong
Just like this blog
It started out small
Nick couldn’t have imagined
It’s be such a draw
From people that eat
Collectors too
Even the manufacturers
There’s a place for all of you
Family’s got bigger
We shared in the great news
Like eman’s and the huv’s
And Uncle Big too
Many different people
From all walks of life
A place that I met
My future wife
Charities popped up
And we all shelled out
It was a chance to help
One another out
The good times
And bad
Lots of joy
Mixed with sad
Any time spent here
If you lurk or post
There is one thing
To remember most
Friends have been made
And people you now know
On the blog, through email
Or sometimes a show
There is one thing in mind
For those that clicked here
It’s about the HOT
That brings us all cheer
Mild to hot
Even the insane burn
There’s a taste for everyone
That we all yearn
Nick mixes it up
N tries to keep it new
Recipes, reviews
And “caption this†too
Many different things
That you just wanna see
So you check it all out
Least daily
There are those that get mad
And storm off the site
Then chat about it offline
As they try to make light
Many grudges have surfaced
We’ve seen this before
Those that get pissed
Always come back for more
Lately it seems
That most of the chat
Is about who has
Each others back
Opinions are rampant
And be they should such
If we were all the same
There wouldn’t be much
But that’s not why we’re here
It’s for the love of the hot
There’s just that one thing
Some have forgot
So even though it does seem
That all chileheads don’t get along
We are still a big family
That keeps us all strong
He doesn’t like him
And they don’t like that
Who said what to whom
Its really just crap
In a bigger picture
Not all people get along
But it doesn’t mean that anyone
Is totally wrong
So carry on
Do as you always do
But remember the folks
That brought this to you
So the time has come
In your life to move on
More school for you Laura
And Nick gets to cut a lawn
I think it’s safe to say
From all that “live†here
We hope Texas treats you well
And shares you its cheer
So thank you guys
For what you do
It’s appreciated by most
At the HSB crew
Nick and Laura
I can attest
From the bottom of our hearts
We wish you the best!

Kristi must have helped, it has a woman’s touch in there somewhere, or are you just that in touch with your feminine side?
Hee hee
Well done!
“Kristi must have helped, it has a woman’s touch in there somewhere, or are you just that in touch with your feminine side?”
Sadly UB, I had no hand in this, he actually IS that feminine!

there once was a guy named parker
who thought he could hang with the rest
like blane and dk and huv

his day of recogning came and gone
and like wes, it turned out to be a lie

Hey, I have a question about Wes. The guy seemed all bent out of shape yesterday about that review. Who is he and what’s the story? Master chef? He cooks something somewhere? Were you guys mean to him or something? Hurt his feelers?

Aparently Wes is a sensitive man. Maybe he should write greeting cards? The ones about puppies and kitties and rainbows.
He’s a chef?
Does that mean “would you like fries with that”? or “honey dinner is almost ready”?

What’s been going on?
Eating sauce, collecting sauce….the usual
A little drama here and there 
My favorite part:
There are those that get mad
And storm off the site
Then chat about it offline
As they try to make light
I’ve seen that on so many sites and then to see it in words here. Just too classic. Great job dude. You get an A+! Thanks for the entertaining read.
Hey everyone - just got back in from Germany - been out of touch for the last few days. Caught up on a bunch of emails on the 7 hour plane ride!
Laura told me about the poem but I had to read it to believe it. Too funny! Chris, you’ve got a strange talent on your hands Thanks man!
Be back tomorrow with pictures of Frankfurt.
Did you drink any beer?

Beer and only beer. Well, the one exception was the Jack & Coke in a can - they sell it there in gas stations. 10% alcohol! That sucker was stronger then any drink you can get in a bar here
