Recently I was "selected" as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment, and I  happened to be Standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the beer wagon when the call came. I was  assured by the other two judges, (native Texans), that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy; and that I could have free beer during the tasting.  

 

I accepted. Here are the scorecards from the event:  

 

 

Chili # 1: Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chili  

 

JUDGE ONE: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.  

 

JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.  

 

FRANK: Holy xxxx, what the #### is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to  put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy.  

     

 

Chili # 2: Arthur's Afterburner Chili  

 

JUDGE ONE: Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.  

 

JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.  

 

FRANK: Keep this out of reach of children! I'm not sure what I am supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.  

     

Chili # 3: Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili  

 

JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.  

 

JUDGE TWO: A bean-less chili, a bit salty, good use of red peppers.  

 

FRANK: Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. get me more beer before I ignite. The barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting xxxx-faced from all the beer.  

     

 

Chili # 4: Bubba's Black Magic  

 

JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.  

 

JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.  

 

FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burnout taste buds?   Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills; that 300 lb. bitch is starting to look HOT, just like this  nuclear-waste I'm eating. Is chili an aphrodisiac?  

 

 

Chili # 5: Linda's Legal Lip Remover  

 

JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.  

 

JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef; could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.  

 

FRANK: My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I xxxxx passed gas and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly onto it from a pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off? It really xxxxxx chaps me off that the other judges have asked me to stop screaming. Screw those   rednecks!  

       

 

Chili # 6: Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety  

 

JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice and peppers.  

 

JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.  

 

FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I xxxx myself when I xxxxxxx passed gas and I'm worried it will eat Through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that #### Sally. She must be kinkier than I thought. I can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my xxx rear with a snow cone!  

 

 

Chili # 7: Susan's Screaming Sensation Chili  

 

JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.  

 

JUDGE TWO: Ho-hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. I should note that I am worried about Judge Number 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.  

 

FRANK: You could put a grenade in my mouth, and pull the pin. I wouldn't feel a #### thing. I've lost the sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava-like xxxx stuff to match my stained shirt. At least during the autopsy they'll know what killed me. Screw it- I've decided to stop breathing. It's too painful. I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.  

       

 

Chili # 8: Helen's Mount Saint Chili  

 

JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili, safe for all, not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.  

 

JUDGE TWO: This final entry is a good, balanced chili, neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost  when Judge Number 3 passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. #### Yankee, wonder how he'd have reacted to a really hot chili?  

 

FRANK: ----(editor's note: Judge #3 was unable to report

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
