Got into the heat when I was in the active USMC - they had us at boot camp and anytime you said "you" they broke out the "yew" juice. They always said they were female sheep - drop and give me 50 then you'd look up and they'd have the tabasco sauce in hand. Made you drink the stuff. Me I liked it, so it didn't matter much. Then came Thai food and Vietnam hot spicy soups. - The rest is history! Oh, and as for here - Doug - remember those chopsticks? Like others here - good folks helping out others. And of course Bro Jim's sauces! Nothing like good food and good friends! Chet PS - last little bit - Bro Rael should be the Chaplin because he has been watching over all the maidens and is the keeper of the naked twister game. I think I recall him chanting as well.
