I can’t wait for this Defcon Day, this should be really good. Is the cat going to make an appearance?

I can’t wait. I keep asking the wife to make sure we have no twirling\parties. at this point it doesn’t matter. I’ve given her enough chances. I’m there and ready to party.

If only I lived 1,000 miles closer. I would surely love to come to a Defcon day! Have fun guys!

It would be no problem if I didn’t have 8 cylinders in my Jeep. Tends to cut down on the long distance travelling. Now if I ever get that VW TDI I want then 45 mpg would get me there no problem

I will be needing me some DC 2 and 1 soon but I am gonna wait and see if I got in on the ZERO first! ha I do want to see alot of pictures from the Defcon day. That way I can have my own little wing day here and invite the Coors Light girls to come lol!!

8 cylinder!!! my little vw diesel TDI only has 3…..it is good on the mpg though ~60 if not more. I presume fuel is quite cheap across the pond then?

Well I don’t call it cheap. It is currently $2.39. Now what that converts into pounds I have not a clue I get 15 mpg on average lol

I thought the TDI’s were 4 cylinders? I think the Jetta TDI’s are but with 60 mpg I doubt it is a Jetta. Either way there are far more diesel options there in Europe cause Americans haven’t caught on to the craze of fuel economy yet Anyway I am getting offtopic and we now have a place for that. I just didn’t want to ignore Matt

Now back to Defcon Days!!!

still off topic - sorry! - mines a SEAT Arosa with a VW/Audi 1.4 TDI engine.

Yeah definately back to DEFCON days now

Two of the Three Hot Tamales will be attending, cant wait to see you guys

CORRECTION!!!
I just reread the directiond from the train station and they are incorrect. When you get off the train, head towards Springfield Avenue. At Sprinfield Avenue, make a RIGHT not a left, and The Alley is a few blocks down on your right, near Kings Supermarket. I woould hate to see a bunch of lost chiliheads meandering aimlessly throughout the streets, and when asked by a cop what they are doing, replying, “Looking for The Creator”. I would hate to get calls from the local psych ward. LOL!

That would have been like a scene from a horror flick

Just got my ZERO invoice:)

Creator I can’t wait, only bummer is i might be there tword the end (after 3) But I can’t wait! And the Three Hot Tamale’s as well - Ouch sounds like a rough one

Awwww Brilliant! I guessed i calmed down a bit from the weekend. Talk about panicking. Thank you again loads! I have to take pics of the operation

I saw the Whorstishire sauce in there good stuff. My wife used to work for Lea & Perrings - needless to say I like the taste

Aron - stick to the Jeep. I have a 1990 Jeep Cherokee and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Where is everybody?

I recommend trying it with chips first, just to get the taste. After that the sky is the limit. Ribs would be great!

Glad you like that little addition. I’ve been told by a number of well placed folks that Lava is THE best sauce for making Bloody Mary’s because of the fresh herbs, heat and Whorstishire. Try that too!

You got it I’m on the case tonight. Got to make sure i have somthing to wash all this down with (beer)

Oh I love it. It has done well for me so far. I just wouldn’t mind having one with a little better mileage. But I don’t own a Jeep for economy anyway lol

Let me know what you think!

Mine has 150K (hard) mikes and still going strong. I’d actually like to drive over a VW TDI That could be fun

Absolulty (my spelling really sucks!)

haha Yeah I have about 130k on mine. keep rollin on

I can’t wait for my defcon shipment. time for some wings!!

I have tO go do an experiment in the kitchen:)

vyu vnmvuhj` y OOps that was JR He wanted to say “hi” to everyone

It’s a great feeling when a little box comes from Mr. Mailman! I’m waiting for Defcon Day for my supply. I’m kind of baned from hot sauce for the rest of the month

Ahhh Mad, free wings and Guinness, who could ask for anything more?

That statement just … I’m so hungry (and thirsty) now. I can picture it as I’m typing

Runnig down to the Kitchen

I hope they serve Guinness but if it means anything to the Coors Lite Girls I can drink that pale stuff for one day

Creator - How does one get to the bar from Manhattan?

PATH to Hoboken, take the Morris/Essex “local” train to the Berkeley Heights station (you may have to switch trains in Summit, ask the conductor). From there, you’ll see the Police Station on one side of the tracks, HEAD AWAY FROM THE POLICE STATION!
You’ll go about 150 yards and come to Springfield Avenue, make a right, it’s about 2-3 blocks down on your right, to the left of the Kings Supermarket.

Or take the Huvason Express. Not sure how many people are going with me - I’ll find out - but I can shoot through Manhattan (that’s the way google maps sends me anyway).

I’ll reach out to those who said they are going, if I have room you are more than welcome (you’ll have to listen to my wife complaining the whole way though )

Well, it seems we are going to have a number of people from this site showing up on Saturday. With that in mind, I figured I’d spice it up a bit. Normally, the Day progresses with mass ingestion of wings, and the inevitable downing of large amounts or various grog, not to mention hanging out and just plain enjoying yourself. Well, perhaps this time a contest is in order. I was trying to decide either a habanero eating contest or a DEFCON #1 wing eating contest. I think I’m going to go with the wing eating contest. The specifics will be announced at the event. I was kind of afraid of projectile vomiting from the habanero chomping contest, so I’m sticking to the wings, something I’m quite adept at. Now…..To come up with a prize……….

How about a wing eating contest at Zest Fest??

Without The Creator???
Ugh, like a dagger through my heart (insert, twist, extract).

Not to bring this up, but we never had a winner from the other contest yet, where did that prize go?

“The Game shall commence as follows: I shall, upon Nick’s initial request, choose the #1 caption, as I will hold true the request. This choosing, of my choice, shall receive a special treat. Instead of The Blog releasing the exact time of public acquisition, the author of the winning caption will mysteriously be exempt from the initial e-mail which will state they are available. Not only will this show the author of the winning caption they have won”

Patience, Grasshopper, patience. Nick is fully aware of what is going on with this. There is indeed a prize, and a very nice one at that. It just hasn’t finished accumulating yet (you think I’m kidding). I am waiting on the final ingredient for the prize, which will be offered shortly. Trust me, whoever wins is going to laugh their ass off, not to mention having a 1/1 in a manner of speaking. Rest assured, The Creator hasn’t forgotten who said what. (evil chuckle)

This thing in here about “Nick’s initial request” is totally wrong. Somebody needs to go back and read some stuff. I for recall “Nick’s initial request” quite clearly and it stated that “Creator” will choose the TOP 5 (not the #1) captions, and the HSB would vote on which is #1. Now if I’m wrong, please feel free to provide proof. In the mean time, here’s mine.

Here’s how this works: Take a look at the slighty disturbing photo above and come up with a caption. Leave your caption as a comment. The top 5 will be picked out by the Creator (he doesn’t know this yet) & those 5 will be voted on by the HSB readers.

Thanks for tuning in

Highly doubtful…

Mr Defcon, I am envious that many of my fellow bloggers will be able to enjoy your Fais Do Do this weekend while I am unable to attend. It further saddned me to hear you will not be with us in Ft Worth. Rest assured I will be with you in spirit as I judge chili & salsa at the ICS affair this Saturday & Sunday here where they run ponys in Central Ohio. Pass a good time for CaJohn!!! I know we’ll pass a good time for you in the Stockyards!!! Laissez les Bon Temps Rouler

Thanks CaJohn, myself and the bloggers will definitely have a few toasts on your behalf. I appreciate the kind words regarding Zestfest, but, as I stated, I had already given my word to the Fire Guys in Hillsborough that I would attend, as we are a big draw for them, and all the money goes to a great cause, there is no way in Hell I’m pulling a no-show with those guys…Nothing like firing up a couple turkey fryers and cookin’ wings all day, watching the masses sweat, tear, and come back for more. Isn’t that what this industry is all about anyway, having a great time with great people, making a couple bucks, and sharing the wealth with good causes? As I told a bunch of people at the Fiery Foods show, once it stops being fun, we’ll just close the doors, look back, and remember what a great ride it was. Fear not, we aren’t going anywhere, as I’m having WAY too much fun, not to mention scaring The Createss, which of course is a good thing.

Have a great time tomorrow Defcon! Got your message, but I’m at the firehouse & can’t call long distance from here very easy. Hope you have a blast! Looking forward to making one of them sometime

Will do CaJohn

Nick is now the MASTER wing man.. Stay tuned for all the exciting pics

How many? In how much time? Hungry Charles Hardy or Badlands Booker they live in that area. Should have called one of them. (IFOCE)

Those guys are ringers CaJohn, now let me at those wings and everybody better stand back.

Come on Lisa, let us know!!!

If Mad wins, I’ll bet it’s a big section of hose so that he can finally be satisfied

Mad dint win but I think I saw some hose!

CaJohn and Jim I am looking for some unique stuff for mrseman’s birthday. Can you help. Please ask nick to send you my email.

Nick Lindauer on 4/1/2006 at 9:03 pm said:

Ok Im sure Nick will post the details but they went 4 rounds at 13 wings per round… Nick ate EVERY ONE of them… 52 wings mixed with some type of Zero mixture.. i tasted one wing and my lips were numb for about a half hour.. Huvason was close behind but Nick was just way to fast.. After Nick recooperates , Im sure he will put something on here

Hats off to Nick, pretty amazing feat. I feel most sorry for his bathroom this morning. I have a feeling the exhaust fan baldes may melt.
