Nice Ryan… but how’d you get the nails to stick out of the skull?

YEah, how did you do that - very nice.

Nice job Ryan! Looks like I need to get a move on with my next entry. Maybe I’ll put a gold skull on my next one…huuuum

Looks like you used some Italian drip candles, its looks cool as hell.

HAH Great stuff Ryan! I’m getting a kick out of Pimp Your Sauce. What a great idea!

I like the nails - kinda punk looking!

OK, thats it!!! Time to get to work on my pimped sauce!!!! I have all the tools I need right here at the dealership. Even a TORCH!!!!!!!!

Thenks for the compliments guys. How did I get the nails to pop out the top you ask? Simple…I pushed them into the bottom of the skull with my thumb, then used a pair of pliars to push them the rest of the way through. It was a pain in the butt due to the rubberiness of the skull.

now that’s dedication to the cause!

Hey Ryan, I might have to bring you aboard. Good Work. FEEL ALIVE BLAIR
P.S TO ALL- Look for an email message soon regarding the Cutting Room Floor. I have a Very Special Surprise to inform you of.

Thanks Blair! I take that as a huge compliment coming from the master of wax/resin himself. Looking forward to the e-mail. Hope all is going well for you. Good to know your eyes are still working after all the reading did Rock on Blair.

Me too. Waiting for my DEFCON email and now the Blair’s

No pacemaker here, I’ve got enough wrong with me as it is. I’ve learned to not get too excited until the last second. Stress was literally killing me. I have to keep it cool.

breathe ryan… slowly, in and then out.

ooooffffffa The master has spoken. kind of like Smith Barney. Ryan pretty cool. Hi Everyone!

I only do that when I’ve got a cig in my mouth

ryan, just shot you an e-mail.

Theres a ton of signed Cajohn’s stuff on ebay right now. Just check the name “bob26003″ and look at what he’s got. Pretty cool.

There’ll be a bit more CaJohns stuff (signed by him and me) out shortly. This will be some of the early bottle types that I filled for him when I was his co-packer. You’ll have both the maker and the creator

In a related note, all the various Blairs’ bottles that you guys beat me up about (save “the” one are in the mail and headed to their various destinations.

Thanks again!

A couple of you almost hit the lottery also- I was packing the Hot Pots & Blown away into the boxes when I thought I give them a quick wipe down from having sat on the display shelf. It was then I discovered that several of them were signed. Needless to say, I was glad I caught that Replaced them with the others that weren’t signed. Sorry Charrie

Where will they be out at Mr. Jim???? That would be cool to have some of those bottles.

That was just MEAN!! hahaha Only a Campbell would do such a thing!!

Oh you didn’t have to put them back! But I understand lol Now if you have any other cool unlisted stuff I wouldn’t mind knowing about it

What was mean- almost doing it or telling that I almost did it?

I expect that you’ll see the double signed stuff here first, or at least how to get them, here first.

Best place in the world, eh?

Everyone got something for free. Just my way of supporting this blog & keeping Nick happy

Too cool! I cannot wait for the Gale’s Hard Cider. Sounds good to me cause I love some hard cider and being mixed with peppers could make it too good

Another plus for our hero - Capsaicin

THURSDAY, March 16 (HealthDay News) — Capsaicin, the component that gives jalapeno peppers their heat, may also kill prostate cancer cells, a new study suggests.

Here is a quote from the article:
I guess they heve never been to HSB

“Since large amounts of capsaicin have never been given to people, we don’t know what the side effects might be,”

Thanks Jim, again you’ve gone above and beyond. I work in the knife business (Kershaw Knives) and if you and/or any of your buddies at the firehouse need anything, let me know, I’ll get you guys the hookup.

Werd I had never dealt with Jim before talking with him on HSB but needless to say I will be back for more! Standup guy no doubt

Nahh- you guys just need to set your standards higher

Some real knife fanatics here at the firehouse!

LOL there’s some real knife fanatics all over. Seriously though, if there’s ever anything I can do to return the favor, let me know. If you don’t still have my e-mail, Nick can help you out with that.

No doubt, some of you guys have lost it.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing, depends on what we’ve lost really.

You mean other than a little bit of lunch money and taste receptors? It’s all fun to me

Some of the stuff Jim has come up with even has me shakin’ my head. There are some leftovers from the early “show special” ones I did that were limited to trade buyer giva aways and some that we did when we were “just playin’ around” (prototypes I guess) and some just plain mistakes. We have our share of those at our facility as well. I told some of the faithful about them before we were “asked to leave” the lounge in ABQ. Nick will be getting a list of those we have on hand real soon. As for Jim’s find, I need to take a trip over his way to review what he has dug out of the archived boxes.

One thing I sould tell you about some of the regular line of sauces. The bottle pictured in Anthony’s review of Krakatoa! (the multi-sided one) was only used for a short time. The first run of 2002 Legend used it as well as the first couple of runs of Z…nothing Beyond. Some of our other premium hab sauces used it as well. I would like to get one of the early Legend if one of you would like to part with it.

I only went out for the night and it seems I’ve missed so much. Will we be able to buy these sauces you talk of that you’ll be sending a list to Nick?

I love the shape of those bottles Cajohn. My brother has the first run of the Krakatoa bottle and some others with that bottle. Ive got the Z bottle like that. I have the first year of The Legend. What ya need one for? Also, my brother has a Krakatoa Lava dome with this dark maroon colored wax top. Only one ive seen like that. Cool color.
