[ChefEx]

Any one know when Blairs Firecracker is supposed to go out. I got in early for one but not sure when he's shipping them?

I think middle of June......

[huvason]

From Blair:
" THE FIRECRACKER 500 IS EXPECTED TO SHIP ON JUNE 10th-16TH "

[ChefEx]

We gotta wait that long......Damn.

[DEFCON Creator]

Ahhhh Grasshopper, a man with patience is guaranteed a long wait.

[Cap'n Bones]

From Blair:
" THE FIRECRACKER 500 IS EXPECTED TO SHIP ON JUNE 10th-16TH "

What that really means, is that they will ship sometime in July..


Just kiddin' Blair.

Well put sir.

Well put sir.

I gotta agree with that sentiment.

That's great! LOL

[Blundaar]

Personally, I want the very last bottle (#500). There's something rather appealing about getting the last of the last.

[Tina Brooks]

Blundaar, where were you when I had the last jar of the original batch of Raspberries in Heat? It was #69 of 69.

[DEFCON Creator]

"It was #69 of 69."

Man Tina, you just love leaving doors open, don't you?

[imaguitargod]

"It was #69 of 69."

Man Tina, you just love leaving doors open, don't you?
And did you notice the puduct name... "Raspberries in Heat" hehehehehehe

Someone better close that door, your letteing all the heat in...

[Blundaar]

Blundaar, where were you when I had the last jar of the original batch of Raspberries in Heat? It was #69 of 69.
Ahh, a great number. Too bad I missed it. I'm sure it was really hot!
I was half-asleep until you made me laugh. This is going to be a long day at the office....

[Blundaar]

Of course,if I actually DID have botle #69, it would be displayed right next to this (http://hotsauce.com/detail.aspx?ID=869). One of my favorites.

[bubbaschili]

ooooooooo so thats what a canadian beaver looks like.

Mississippi Hot Sauce King owns it. He purchased an unnumbered bottle at the same time, so that he could eat it.

It had a half scotch bonnet and a whole Indian finger pepper infused in the sauce.

We don't do the Indian finger pepper anymore, because those jars were special.

Of course they were, they had body parts in them. The secret's in the meat.

[Tina Brooks]

Our sauces are vegetarian... Until someone else adds meat.

You realize vegetables scream when you cut them, you just can't hear them. Does that make it morally ok?

Yes.

[Tina Brooks]

Who cares... if we weren't meant to eat something, it would fight back and win.

[DEFCON Creator]

Oh, so you are into killing the helpless, nice.

[imaguitargod]

Oh, like you've never hunted a 2 year old child before... :rolleyes:

And when was the last time the mammal in your sights was a carnivore, hmmmmm?

Hey, I met some nasty rabbits in my life....

[Tina Brooks]

Yeah, I hear them jackalopes are quite vicious too. snicker.

Good question. Do coyotes count? Yes, at the ranch in Montana last year they had a major coyote problem, and I was more than willing to lend a hand, and a trigger finger.

What's a topic?

[bubbaschili]

last time the subject of staying on topic came up it got reallly ugly...reaaaaaly reaaaaaaly fast.
:banghead:

That's my least favorite thing. hahaha.

When a thread turns into a bunch of private talk, it's frustrating. A comment here or there is always funny, but this whole idea of posting like 20 back and forth posts about someone's delivery or something kind of ruins a thread (or a blog post).

That's what email is for. ;)

I've noticed this over the last couple of months. Maybe the mods can try to steer them back.

[imaguitargod]

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: nonononono, this is like a bad dream! We've been over this again and again!

[thehotpepper.com]

Yes Yes Yes, not a dream.

Thread closed. Way off topic now.

[thehotpepper.com]

Thread re-opened, but back to topic please, thanks! :)

[bubbaschili]

we have been off topic for so long.........what is the topic??

[DEFCON Creator]

I think the topic was something about staying on topic. My brain hurts.

[Blundaar]

At great risk to life and limb, I will attempt the impossible and bring up something relevant.
.... Blair should be shipping as we speak. Post when it arrives on your doorstep.

[Tina Brooks]

The topic was originally a request for the date of release for Blair's Firecracker.

I'll do you all a favour and email smokin' Joe.

T

[Blundaar]

For all you cave dwellers, the Word of Blair...
DUE TO A VERY UNEXPECTED DELAY IN THE ARRIVAL OF A SEALING WAX FROM ITALY. THE FIRECRACKER 500 WILL BE DELAYED IN SHIPPING BY 7-10 DAYS. I WILL HAVE A VERY SPECIAL GIFT ENCLOSED WITH YOUR ORDER FOR THIS DELAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. FEEL ALIVE
With my luck, it will arrive while I'm on vacation and get stolen off my front porch.

[Tina Brooks]

What was your address again??? ;)

T

[darthcarl]

What was your address again??? ;)

T

like you could reach SAn Diego before I could. PHfffft.

[Blundaar]

What was your address again??? ;)T
I may be on vacation, but my wife is staying behind (doesn't want to go white-water rafting... how sad). Better luck next time.
But if you must know, stand on Sweetwater Ave with the 125 over your head, look down and Southeast. I live there. All my Chili plants are in the front yard, so it's hard to miss.

[imaguitargod]

like you could reach SAn Diego before I could. PHfffft.
Nope. but I could... :hell:

SD's only a two hour drive from LA.

[Tina Brooks]

ROFLOL!

I have family in Coronado. Race ya!

T

[Tina Brooks]

I got an email from Smokin Joe, he's going to email me as soon as he has a specific release date.

Nice of Blair to give out prezzies to the folks waiting.

T

[Blundaar]

ROFLOL!

I have family in Coronado. Race ya!
They would then be either....
1. Old
2. Rich
3. Military
4. All the above

[Tina Brooks]

3. Should read US Navy (Ret.)... they're pretty sticky about that sort of thing.

T

[Blundaar]

That certainly fits the profile:)

[Tina Brooks]

Careful now, you may think you're just making fun of my family, but there are those on this board who are quite conservative enough to take offense at anyone making fun of the US military.

Oh no- I feel like I just landed in Bob's Country Bunker ("We play both kinds of music here. We have your country AND your western!").
Those folks in Coronado would vote for Jeb Bush if he decided to run in 2008 (some people never learn). I'm the guy who points out the big bird dropping on the back of their cars only to correct myself at the last minute and tell them it's their W'04 bumper sticker.

[DEFCON Creator]

Great, another politically-biased vitriol spewer. NO POLITICS!!!

[Blundaar]

Sorry (hangs head in shame), you misunderstand. As a San Diego native, you have to understand that Coronado does have a certain reputation... and I like to make fun of EVERYTHING (vitriol-free).

[DEFCON Creator]

Not a problem. I just don't want to see this forum turned into another one of the infinite amount of forums that become overrun with political stupidity.

[Tina Brooks]

Why bother, there's a ton more off-topic subjects we can all tangent on, after all.

On the original topic... I'm outta here for the weekend, so if I happen to get an email from Smokin Joe, I won't be able to post it until I get back... If someone else gets a concrete date for the 500 release before that, do please post it.

T

[Cap'n Bones]

Who the heck is smokin Joe??

[Tina Brooks]

He's Blair's right hand man.

T

[Tina Brooks]

Great news...

Smokin Joe just called and he says Firecracker will ship out first thing tomorrow.

T

[Blundaar]

Now that it's 7/6, has anybody received their bottle yet? How does it look? What's the freebie?:?:

Got mine Monday - looks GREAT!!!!! Check out the HSB for pics and for the freebie...... (another collectors bottle woth BLACK/YELLOW wax on it filled with Habanero powder)

FIRECRACKER
Three varieties. Each with a different base wax - RED, BLUE and WHITE (WHITE base was are rare). Mine is blue.

FREEBIE
Here are the facts:

These bottles have been given free to each order of Firecracker 500 (from Blair). However, since only 500 Firecrackers were made available, it’s safe to say that less then 500 Encore Reserves exist.
These are not numbered, but they are signed.
These are not for resale.
These are offically the last of the last of his reserve bottles.
Inside chileheads will find a dried habanero powder.

[Blundaar]

Sounds like Blair really did right by his following on this last one. Hopefully, I'll see mine on the front porch sometime today.

[Blundaar]

FYI- it's 7/11 and I'm still waiting (argh!).

[bubbaschili]

saw one the other day on ebay

[Blundaar]

Just spoke to Karin over at extremefood.com. For all of you still wondering when your package will arrive, be aware that they are still shipping out the orders and may all finally be on the way to a neighborhood near you by 7/14 (meaning you won't see the box until 7/21). Don't know if I would want to work there. It's probably fun but too crazy-busy to keep your sanity half of the year.
