Someone is Bringing Pizza to the Game Tonight

[Shemeska]

This is some sort of extraplanar pizza not edible by clueless primes.

Well if you use enough hot and spicy stuff and get high from the endorphin rush you might think you've gone outside of the borders of mundane reality.

Yes there's a story here involving gaming groups, bets, hot sauce purchased over the internet, and not reading the health warnings... but I won't get into that here.

Maybe you will, if I ask nicely, perhaps?

Pwetty pwease....

If I'm right, the plastic olives you're thinking of are the cheap bulk artificially colored olives that low end pizza restaurants use. They should come with a disclaimer ("green or purple olives bleached, stripped of flavor, then colored black")

You're sort of right. There are two things that make Black (or California) Olives inferior to just about any other kind. The black color comes from the artificial ripening agent used in the processing. They're not bleached and colored black, it's just a by-product of being artificially ripened. The lack of flavor is due to fact that black olives are cooked instead of cured. The different curing processes give olives their flavor. Without curing an olive plucked from the tree is too bitter to eat. Cooking the olive removes the bitterness but doesn't add any flavor other than saltiness. I'll eat black olives, but they are miles apart in quality from even then cheapest green cured olive.

Anchovies belong on a ceasar salad with some lemon juice, but not on a pizza (at least not on mine). I like anchovies, just not on my pizza.

We had a bet over who could eat more of this particular hot sauce. We did not however read the warning label that said, "Warning - Not for direct consumption. Dilute drop-wise. Keep away from pets, small children, and persons with heart or respiratory conditions."

We consumed 1/3 of the bottle between ourselves. One bite in and our eyes were squirting tears. Two bites in and we were crying. Twenty minutes later we were both high off of the endorphine rush, giggling and acting goofy as the other members of our gaming group started to get concerned about us. We were wasted on hot sauce. Another thirty minutes later and we were on the ground moaning in agony and the group almost called an ambulance for us. I didn't get out of bed the next day.

That was my (one of several) moments of whimsical stupidity during college. There are much better and safer ways to get an endorphine high than consuming dangerous levels of capsaicin.

...during college.

Enough said.




We bought hot sauce from all over for Reverend Dave to sample in the college cafeteria. If it didn't make his forehead immediately start sweating, it wasn't hot enough.
