Burnin' hot deliciousness

[batskeets]

I have a belt test today! Or, to put it more accurately--seeing as they always pass the people they've asked to test--I have a belt promotion today. It'll be red with a gold stripe this time, and today is all about scary Nandao form. Next is brown belt, and I believe I'm learning Nangun (southern staff) next, so soon I'll actually have a long weapon form that I wouldn't be ashamed to perform in advanced division. Woo!

The November tournament is sounding more and more tempting, now that I'll be officially "done" with Nandao and could conceivably try it out on the competition floor. I don't think I want to go unless the UW and/or UO folks decide to go, though. Competitions are just more fun when you're making the journey with people who are as nuts about the sport as you are.

In other news, Nathan recently challenged Boy to horf down something really spicy, so last night was the culmination of that challenge. Nathan's idea was the El Jefe wings at Fire On The Mountain, so we rolled in there yesterday and ordered up a basket of six.

He ate them at a moderate pace, and oh, he was overconfident at first. We saw tears after the 3rd wing, and he was really sweating it by the 5th and 6th ones, but he made it through, and didn't eat any of the celery or blue cheese dressing that came with them, either. The guy who cleared away the empty basket seemed at least vaguely impressed, heh.

Now, we just have to figure out something even worse! Boy has apparently eaten hot peppers straight-up before, so he certainly has a tolerance...

Two words:

Dried habanero.

Also, Thursday I'd really like to talk about the martial arts set up you're in. I've always wanted to get into it and might be in a position to do so now. And I've thought about the competition kind...thanks.

Have you guys tried the balls of fire challenge at Salvador Molly's. I really wnt to do it but haven't had the guts yet. I saw the guy do it on Man Vs Food and even he had a super hard time making it through. It's 5 balls of Habernaro fritters with haberno dipping sauce, if you eat them all you get your photo on the championship board.

yay on the belt promotion! Those are always fun. Joey and I get green next, which means we finally get new colored belts instead of stripes. Which means, bye bye coffee stain.
