Hot Sauce Clue – #1

?

Clue #1
Once upon a time there was one tongue that bore the chore of tasting hot sauces galore. A quest to tame the zest was taken and one was the best. Find the holy grail to quench the fire and the prize is yours to use a you desire

Hint #1
The answer to the quest resides on a site right before your eyes.

The prize: A gift package of Nando’s Sauces: 2 Nando’s T-Shirts, 1 Nando’s Cookbook and several Nando’s Sauces.

Here are the rules:
– A series of clues will be released.
– Youโ€™ll have to follow the clues around the web (not just on the HSB) to certain markers.
– Each โ€˜markerโ€™ will be clear and will identify itself as such.
– The first person to correctly post the location of each โ€œmarkerโ€ (one per clue) will win.
– All clues will be released on the HSB at random times throughout the day (not just according to our usual schedule). No more then one clue will be released each day.

    I have to say, I’ve been pulled over quite a few times and have always managed to get away with a warning, this rookie frig just wasn’t havin’ it.

    I think the cops in CT are afraid to give thebigshow a ticket. Combine the bald head, the height and the fact that he’s built like a brick s**thouse , throw in the lead foot and he’s free as a bird. lol

    Yeah, most of them here are a$$holes. I was actually in SC when I hide from a trooper for like 45 minutes before he caught up to me. Then he gave me a $90 ticket and threatened another $18, I wanted to laugh in his face, it would have been $350 plus here and a court appearance!…….

    Because capsaicins are not water-soluble, drinking milk (with milk fat and proteins) rather than water is a more effective way to quench the fire caused by hot peppers.

    Nope, always was told my humor WAS brain pain! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I’m way too shy, never could stand large crowds. You saw how funny I was at The Alley, i tend to clam up around large groups of people. Actually, I wouldn’t call it shy, that car salesman this past weekend wouldn’t either (long story, should have kept my big mouth shut! ๐Ÿ˜‰ ). More like just being way too nervous with a lot of people around. I do like to make people smile, no matter how big of a fool I seem though! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Man, just hit another dead end, and probably close too! Gonna go take my eyes out now (that’s redneck for removing contacts, hope I didn’t freak anyone out! ๐Ÿ™‚ ), it’s gonna be a long night!

    Question. Did anyone else think it had something to do with Tim Seaver? I spent a good half hour trolling, figuring I was onto something, since the guy has virtually 0 internet presense. Only stopped once I came across some rather unscrupulous individual who used Tios’ Mexican Cafe as a draw to a rather seedy website.

    Congrats Allan, boy I was way off but had myself convinced I was onto it without a doubt. What a dumba$$! Nick this is a lot of fun, great idea and now that we have seen it through one time I think it will ease some of the franticness about what it is we are truelly looking for. Bring on Clue 2! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

    dude, we had it last night, but weren’t looking in the right spot that is frustrating!!!

    Allan good job!!

    Nick we don’t want to wait for a whole week before the next clue. ๐Ÿ˜›

    Hey- Mrs. Ryan, I saw you were onto that track and blew it off- I was so into what I thought I was onto and convinced I had it wrapped up, yeah I wasn’t even friggen close, lol ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

    Congrats Allan! How long did it take you to find the answer?

    we were sure it was some kind of dairy product, and Scott even said yogurt and checked the dannon site LOL he was sooooo close he is gonna bang his head when he sees the dannon yogurt thingy where the clue is. I checked every web link on this site I didn’t think Nick would put the clue on the blog, I am not putting anything past him GAME ON!!

    I was so close also. I was thinking it was on the blog, but was thinking I would have to find a clue elsewhere first. I searched the HSB for everything except yogurt. I saw the reference last night to Dannon, but never even thought to search for it. Dang Leroy and his music playing in the background! He loves his Bobby McFerrin. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    ROFL DK!! I am glad someone figured it out but like i said GAME ON!! I am just waiting for the next clue. waiting a week is torture.

    I’ll tell ya the truth, I thought it has something to do with “The Smoking Tongue”, as Nick stated “Once upon a time there was one tongue that bore the chore of tasting hot sauces galore.”, and The Smoking Tongue hasn’t had an update in many months. Oh well…

    That’s exactly what I thought…… Fit the clue perfectly. BUt, as you said, the site hasn’t been updated since last novemeber.

    Please don’t say that we are starting to think a like Creator!

    I knew exactly the page Allan found cause it was the first thing I thought of when I read the clue but I couldn’t find it! I remember reading it a while back just messing around. Allan’s skills>my skills ๐Ÿ˜€

    When the clue came out at 5 yesterday I was on a conference call. I looked a the clue and figured someone would have found it quickly.

    When I got home after work, surprised no one had found it, spent a couple hours surfing, gave up.

    Checking my email this morning, thought I’d check and saw no one had hit it yet. Found it about 2 minutes later.

    You know, I didn’t think Tim Seaver specifically, but ended up on that page while searching. I am very glad to know that at least I was on the same path as others here. Of course that’s a double edged sword, gotta find an advantage by the time the next clue comes out. I don’t think the comedy routine helped me any last night! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    ou know its funny, i was looking at Nicks favorite sauces for the game, and I thought for sure it was somewhere on the blairs after death page. I was so close, yet so far.

    You can thank The Huvason for that little present, I have a feeling he’ll be stocking up with cases of it at the Brooklyn Defcon Day next Saturday, and again in Hillsborough on 9/9. Let me know what you think of it after you try it, maybe you can stock it after we go into full production. ๐Ÿ™‚
