My brother Clark believes "food should not hurt."

Wuss.

On July 21st, Tim Blair had a brief post about hot sauces. Some of the comments are hilarious. My favorite was:

Blair's Death Sauce is quite good, but anything to the right of Sudden Death is too painful to be eaten.

I remember when my brother-in-law and myself went to a BBQ rib festival and he got "nuclear ribs". I tried a dot of sauce and it lit my mouth up. He saved them until he got home.

He related that he ate the 2 rib sampler in the evening and was in extreme pain. He tried eating popsicles, drinking water, beer and milk, but nothing except time put out the fire.

The next day around noon he had to take a dump. Well, garbage in-garbage out, as they say. When the nuclear dump occurred he said it felt like his rear was a flame thrower. And then he thought to himself, "I wish I hadn't eaten ALL of the popsicles."
