Habenero hell - my last name should start with an 'O'

Never heard about gene getting sued, but he dishes out the harassment with The Man. Calling everyone "baby" and mocking them when they cry after eating it.
I think I've worked up a tolerance a little, now I can handle a couple toothpicks worth on a brisket sandwich.

Pretty soon you'll work your way up to a full teaspoon. . . . like me.

I took a shot (full 2oz) of tobassco sauce when I was younger. That was harsh.

yeah i hear what your sayin
my dad grows these peppers in our yard every 5 years or so and the first time we had something like 23 plants which made for about 15 gallons (when seprated and put into 5 galon buckets.) well we put them into a blender for salsa and unwittingly put my hand in to scrape the stuff out and my hand and wrist was burnnin i had it sitting in ice water for hours. good stuff though never figured out what the peppers were called you cant get them in stores and my dad got the seeds from Hong knog there only about the size of a .22 cal Shell but they pack a wallop

it's the smaller peppers that do the most damage

I think those are thai peppers. They are hot - all the Asians I worked with ate them whole (!). They also grew them themselves, but they said specialty Asian food places had them. Unfortunately, I don't feel like going that far for them.

I think they're schezuan peppers. I'll bet they go by different names, but they're from the same general region (SE asia, asia).
Talk about fuggin' hot though... back in school my friend Tung dared me and my friend Matt to each eat one -and they did look harmless and pretty benign; small, wrinkled, dark red, and unassuming...
Oh, how we were fooled by my cruel Vietnamese tormentor.
We each said okay, and popped one pepper into our respective mouths and chewed quickly (and thoroughly) to get the bet over with asap.
Cruel, merciless spasms of Hellfire erupted in our mouths rather suddenly and unexpectedly. Needless to say, no amount of water, bread, vinegar, cola (that actually made it worse), beer, vodka or anything else we could manage to find would put out the raging flames of agony that fucking roared through our mouthes.
Not only was it a nasty, lingering sort of pain, but it effectively ruined my appetite for the rest of the day, gave me cramps, turned my face an ugly shade of purple and left Matt and I in a really bad mood.
Tung, on the other hand, thought it was just hysterical. His mom usually sent him care packages of the bomb Vietnamese food -if you haven't tried it, do it. You won't regret it. Avoid the hot peppers, though.
Anyway, sorry to blabber on.

I had some Laotian and Cambodian guys dare me and a southern guy who grew up on hot peppers to eat their's too. The peppers they had were all different colors - each for a different circle of hell, I presume. Luckily I ate one before a cheesesteak as it helped dull it down a lot. Yeah, I found water or something like it only works while its in your mouth, after that it just spreads it around. Even the southern guy got his ass handed to him by those hellpeppers.

Kind of like daring Deezy to drink a tall glass of Henny, huh?
