Just a friendly reminder that the Pimp Your Sauce Contest entries are due by midnight tomorrow (4/21). The top entries will be selected by Monday and the final voting by the HSB community will begin. The winners, 1-10, will receive one of the signed and numbered 94-95 Original Deaths. Only 10 of these exist in the world! And the grand prize winner will receive a 16 Million Reserve - direct from Blair! Get your entries in asap!
Entry Rules & Specs:
- Pimp your sauce using whatever you can find - you can even pimp around your sauce (stand, display, background etc…)
- Take a picture (or 5) and send them into nick ‘@’ hotsauceblog.com with the subject line: Pimp Your Sauce Contest
- Everyone can submit as many entries as they like, but only 1-2 entries per person will be selected for the final vote.
- The final vote: The HSB community will have the final vote on the top 15 - 20 entries. The entry with the most votes will recieve #1, the entry with the second most votes will receive number 2 and so on and so forth. There will only be 10 winners (there are only 10 bottles).
- Any of the final entries with suspected voting fraud will be eliminated.
- All entry submissions must be received by 4/21 (that gives you 2 weekends to work) and final voting will be held the following week.
Have fun!

NO it’s EMAN’s - NICE ENTRY EMAN.
yeah nice entry eman!!!
There should be a disclaimer on these entries.
“No bottles of hot sauce were harmed in any way during the making of these creations, no glues tapes or standard table condiments came in contact with the original Hot sauce product”
Nick Lindauer on 4/20/2006 at 7:51 am said:
No, I’m not entering the contest - conflict of interest. The Pimped Sauce above is Eman’s creation.
Agreed. I’d love to throw one into the arena, but let the bloggers compete.
What’s the matter Creator scared of a little healthy competition?
Nice entry eman! I think we’re going to have to put our bottles in a cage for a death match.
eman, please tell me you didn’t already own that action figure! I came close to buying one to do the exact same thing!
Nice job! Looks great! ![]()

Not at all shnookems, being a vendor, I would just feel a little strange if I won, let the bloggers get the prize. Besides, I’ve already got a couple 16 millions. ![]()
That is a pimp sauce in the most true sense. A fine entry indeed!
Now if you could add a few small bottles as ho’s….

I think we really need a sauce pimped out AS eman - complete with the twin feeding tube hot sauce hat. That would be smokin’!
It’s cool that you’ve already got one Creator but I still would like to wish everyone good luck even the manufacturers who have entered after all aren’t we all considered bloggers here

Aren’t you a blogger?
In a way I am, yes. I would rather see the prizes go to you guys. I’m not saying I would win, but if I did, I’d feel a little strange taking the prizes. I could have joined in the Caption #1 and #2 contests as well, but I would rather see the Batch #2’s go somewhere else. Like I said, I already own a couple of the 16 millions, and I collect only certain extracts, so the very rare Blair’s bottles of sauce that is up for a prize doesn’t really interest me. Would it not be better to have someone win who would appreciate the prizes much more than I would? Hopefully this explanation will shed some light on the subject.
by the way eman nice entry! well done
thanks for the explanation Creator I now understand.
your scared ![]()

You crack me up.
This must be Chilly Willy’s evil twin on here today. I remeber the penquin in the cartoon being much friendlier
By the way, I’m not chilewillie’s personal chef
Hey Nick when will we be able to see all the entries?

Who the hell is CHILEWILLY? I have watching this forever and never heard of the furry little son of a gun..Man, it seems like he likes to stir the chili pot too much..Hey Willy, does your mom know you are on here?
Mine will be submitted tonight, done or not. Had a positive result on a lighting test for the photos today. Should get them snapped with better results tonight. I know it is probably not a real issue, but just would hate to lose because of a crappy photo! I am not a photographer, that’s for sure!
thanks Nick looking forward to seeing the creative abilities in the chilehead community
As a manufacturer *and* a contestant, I promise- if I win one- to pass it on to any blogger that wants it… just as fast as I can say eBay ![]()
LOL! That’s the spirit!
Eman, that is GREAT! Too friggen funny- Damn it makes my entries look like a pre-school class did them. I am out classed- I can’t wait to see them all.
hey Jim how was vacation?
I got your order today I’ll email when shipped
Hey eman- that was a stretch, who would have thought “you” would have pimped out a Blair’s sauce. ![]()

Thank you creator, even i took a little offense to comment, so I am glad to receive an explanation, what extracts do you collect? and why just those? or is it a DEFCON secret ![]()

Terrific! Byrce was too cool & hiking in Zion was awesome. Makes me hate to be back. Especially since Spring planting is only a few weeks away.
Though I looked, all I could find in the way of hotsauces out there was the T stuff.
Mostly Blair’s stuff. Instead of going across the board with everything out there, I figured hmmm, I like making extracts, and if I collected only those, I could focus my funds much for directly towards getting those (and The Createss holds the purse strings, oh the humanity of it all). It has worked out quite well so far.
I have what I think is a pretty cool idea. But I am a little on the busy side and I still have not aquired a camera. I won’t cry too bad. I just want to see the great stuff you guys come up with!!!
I have a cool idea too - it’s proving pretty hard to pull of tho - if the pics aren’t up for scratch, I’ll have to have a 2nd go at getting some
I personally cannot wait to see all the pics!
Great job on the bottle eman. Monday shall be one great day with all the bottle to look at.

Just remember - who ever finds the body is usually blamed (the old “whoever smelt it dealt it dealt it” rule). I’m not looking
(I guess you can tell i’m not a lawyer
)
What? The old “whoever smelt it dealt it dealt it” rule hasn’t been officially codified? It should have been by now:), at least in my house!

I believe it varies from state to state!

I actually got some time to work on mine earlier. Will finish up tomorrow - need to go get some “supplies” I hope Nick will post a picture of mine
It may not win, but it will certianly get some laughs.

BTW Jim - we haven’t forgotten the patches. Just my bro-in-law had a heart attack (he’s fine now) and it has put a few things on the back burner. This will surface though.

Good Night guys.
If that isn’t the most literal take on a “Pimped out Sauce” I don’t know what is. Awesome job eman. We have some hot little sample bottles you could as your ho’s? lol
Hey, thanks all…it took a while. Does anyone think i need a better pic of it…i don’t think it came out very well.

If you think you can get a better pic then by all means do it. But I think its cool the way it is. Definitely gets the point across!

I think it’s great, it’s centered and the colors are clear, Wendy sends her approval as well- she’s a pretty tough critic. She showed it to a bunch of people she works with and they thought it was cool- not sure they get the whole concept- but they liked it alot

Not sucking up - it’s because of my entry. It’s not that good, so I don’t think it will make the final cut
BUT, IMHO, it is FUNNY
Hey all, did we hear anything about MAD today?
Not yet eman, although Huv and I have come up with a conspiracy theory. we’re just waiting and passing the time until we DO hear something
Prototype Team HSB shirts went to press today!!!!!!

Whats nice about the 2 different shirts is everyone can afford one of them. I think the more expensive will sell better because it is really cool!!!
