The World's Hottest Chicken Wings

How spicy can they be?  I mean, they are only made with
chile peppers with skull faces on them!

Hey there. This weekend, I took the family to the Los Angeles County Fair (I'll have a post on our trip real soon) and while there, I stumbled across the hottest chicken wings in the world.  Hmmm...  I know that many of these fairs boast some pretty outrageous claims, but you know what... I love chicken wings and when it comes to spicy food, I don't mind trying new things.  We first passed by the sign shortly after we arrived at the fair and as we enjoyed the fair, I mulled over whether or not I would like to take on that challenge.  As our day came close to an end, we walked by the sign once again.  As we were walking towards the parking lot, it was the wife that mentioned the chicken wings and whether or not I wanted to try them.  At that point, I knew I was going to dive in.  Here is my story told by pictures!

Punchtab Top Points Earner for September Winner

Hey there.  Last month, I announced that I would give a $5 prize to the top points earner on Punchtab.  It's my way of rewarding you guys for tweeting, commenting, +1inning, liking on FB, and visiting.  Punchtab will award you 100 points for doing any of those actions and at the end of the month, I'll review the leaderboard and award the top spot a $5 cash prize via PayPal or a $5 Amazon giftcard.  Not all of us have Paypal so an Amazon giftcard is a good alternate.  If there is a tie, I'll assign a number to the top spots and have random.org select the winner for me.  So let's get to it!  Our first winner is...

Christian Ampoloquio!  Congrats, my friend!  You win money!  2nd place missed the prize just 100 points!  So close!  The new month starts today and we'll see who will take the top spot on Nov. 1st!  Don't forget to comment, tweet, and all the other good stuff to rack up those points!  Good luck!  Later!

Dead Island Game of the Year Winner

Hey there.  It's time to announce a winner of the Dead Island Game of the Year Edition for the PS3 or Xbox 360!  But first, I asked you guys which is your favorite zombie flick and it was pretty close between Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead.  Personally, I like them both but I would give the slight nod to Zombieland over Shaun of the Dead.  Shaun of the Dead is a great homage to all zombie cliches but I like the originality of Zombieland and Bill Murray's, "Garfield, maybe." is one funny as hell line in the movie!!!  Ok... enough blabber!  And the winner is...
