Ah the struggle with this team. It’s epic now. The thing is, I think we could have taken them today. But, being the Misfits, we let it slip away the last possible minute. Yes, we have a habit of doing that, and I have no idea why. Well, it’s not a loss, so I’ll take it. I just hope we do better next week. Grats me for a great tip. Although, pure luck, I know what I wanted to do, not that I knew exactly what I was doing. Good thing I practiced all those years ago with my brother HA.

Ok, so everyone has read about the 911 challenge at Cluck-U’s, correct? Today, we went to Prince of Wales Pub (POW) in San Mateo. Funny thing is, I’ve always seen that place when in town to see my Grandparents and never thought anything. Today, I actually walked in the place and came out full of their habenero burger and a bumpersticker in hand. (I’ll up a pick soon) So, six (I think) of us took the habanero burger challenge. Basically, it’s the hottest sauce mixed in and on top of the hambuger meat. Much like the 911 Challenge, it’s hothothot. However, we all agreed that the 911 challenge was MUCH worse. I think the hardest thing about the burger was eating (scarfing) the buger fast so as to feel the least amount of pain in the shortest amount of time. One guy, Chen, at the burger in something like less than a minute. I wasn’t last surprisingly enough. So, now we have another place to challenge people. Heck, if Linnie comes to town, I’ll take her there too. =) The funny thing is, tomorrow, before the CA Extreme Arcade Show, we’re supposed to be going to Cluck-U’s for lunch. Ok, I’ve had my share of spicy ass food.

Lots o’ hockey the past two weeks. No normal posts from me. Eventually… Back to hockey. Suprisingly enough, we kept it about even throughout the game, even despite the obvious ringer they had on their team. Funny thing is, it kinda looked like an older brother of my brother’s friend Danny. Anyway, somewhere I think in the third period (maybe second) I take a puck to the bottom of my shin. Kinda where the tongue is on the skate. Man, that wasn’t fun. Somehow, we let a shorthanded goal slip away. That’s ok, we just have to be more careful next time. Which happens to be next Sunday. So, be ready. I hope I’m up for it. BTW read the note on the score sheet. I hope you can find it…

What a game. After a good 45 minute delay of game because of the Shark’s camp, we finally got to play. I got there at about 2:45 thinking the game was at 3:15. Yeah right, I look at the board and the game time is at 3:45, nice. So, I’m sitting there with Jeff waiting for the damn game to start, only to find that they’d delay it another 15 minutes. Funny thing is some players on both teams came on time, for the new time. So, were you late or did you know about the time change? HA, thanks for the email informing us of the time change, LOL j/k.

Anyway, playing against our own goalie was a real treat, heh. What? you say. Yeah, the other team didn’t have a goalie so we lent them ours. So, whom was your goalie? you ask. Richard goaltended for us. No, not RichC; although that would have interesting. No, RichardDM did. First time for our team, and he did real good. Grats to Mike and Joe for a four point game and Byron for a 3 point game. Let’s kick ass on Monday. Yes, I said Monday.

Well, tomorrow the tent goes over my house. I hate doing that. I remember the last time, I was little. It wasn’t fun, basically moving out of your own house. Stupid bugs are at it again. Well at least I have Belle to help me out or else me and my cats would be homeless for 3 days. Man, I gotta work a from 10 to 10 tomorrow. Man. Sleep is gold…

What seemed like a loss in the first period, turned out with us on top. We never stopped fighting (figuratively… and I guess a little literally) and kept on going, even despite the crappy new (?) refs that didn’t call much at first, and when they did it was on us. So our 3 game week has come to an end. Nice end with a win. Grats to Byron with the game winning & PP Goal and a 3 point game (2g1a). Grats to Richard for getting his name all over the score sheet with 3 points of his own (1g2a) as well as some nice penalties HAR (3). I think in the second period, Kelly went out with a shoulder injury. We wish him a speedy recovery. Like by next week… Great game all. Continue this trend next week. Can it be a trend with one game? Yeah, whatever.

Ok, so my previous assumption that we play better with less players was wrong. HEH. Although, for only having 10 + Jeff, I think we fended them of fairly well. I know personally I was too winded to make any good moves, and for some reason was extra hot in all that gear for some reason. Damn late games. I don’t mind the late games so much, it’s the working the next day. WTF is with that, all the early games are during the weekend, where’s the late games on the weekend!? Well, gotta shrug it off and play better on Saturday.

[Strong Soup Nazi Accent] No hockey scores for you! [/Strong Soup Nazi Accent] Too late, need sleep. Or maybe even a trip to the doctor’s tomorrow. NAh, I’ll go to work…

I don’t know what it is, but for some reason we play better with a short bench than we do 3 full lines. Yes, I said THREE FULL LINES. For some reason I actually felt more tired on the ice today than I did last weekend. Maybe it’s just my lazy ass…

We started off real nicely, with a goal from Dave from Mike. But, after that, I don’t know how, we let it all slip away. It’s not like we weren’t playing hard, it’s just they were playing that much harder. Well, we gotta play hard this Wednesday. Yes, Wednesday. And. yes, 11-friggen-15 PM. Be there. I know I’ll be tired. I just hope I don’t have to work a 12 hour shift that day or I’ll be a little late, and really tired…

Yes, Cluck ”University”. If you’ve lived in the Bay Area and have never heard of the place, you’ve been living under a rock. Today, our group at EA agreed to go and see 3 suckers take the 911 challenge. 2 didn’t show. The guy who did, could only eat two wings.

This week, one guy brought in this hot sauce where you’re only put one drop of it and it’s enough. I took a drop, man it’s crazy. 911 is WORSE. It was passed around the room all this week, and every time someone would take a hit of this stuff, the group stopped what they were doing just to see the classic reaction of each other.

I’m no one to talk, one was QUITE enough for me. Now, it’s been a LOOOOONG while since I last tried one. But, the experience all came back to me after the chicken was down. What scared me most about this experience, I felt something (maybe my asthma) kick in. I was almost afraid I couldn’t breath. Odd. Man, was I tearing!

OK, here’s the lowdown of the challenge. Eat 12 of the spiciest chicken wings on the planet… Within 10 minutes. With no napkins, water, eating other stuff to lessen the experience. If you make it that far, you still gotta finish the sauce that’s left over (including what’s on your fingers), then sit for another 10 minutes, still no water, napkins, nothing.

Now who has bigger balls? The person who shows up for the challenge, or the person who shows up for work the next day? Damn, at work before all this, the boss (who’s a girl) called one guy (who didn’t show) basically a p*ssy. Saying there’s no way he could do it. She’s the greatest. There was one guy who said, it can’t be THAT hot. But, for some reason he wouldn’t even TAKE the challenge. Well, if it can’t be that hot, what’s the harm? There was one guy in the group who has actually finished all 12 before, crazy… Damn, unless you’ve grown up eating fire, DON’T bother! Well, you gotta at least try one… Heh. We’re EVIL! Ok, if you know anyone who talks sh*t saying it can’t be all that hot, have them give me a call and see if they can take the 911 Challenge.
