Thread: Vs threads vs. having a habenero-coated icepick stuck in your eye.

    Vs threads vs. having a habenero-coated icepick stuck in your eye.

    I prefer the latter. Discuss.

    (Seriously, what is it with this fad for vs. threads that comes around now and then? It's kind of puerile...)
    Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.

    I prefer vs. threads to having a habenero-coated icepick stuck in my eye, but I prefer having a cactus dipped in cobra venom shoved up my arse vs. either of them.

    That's just me, though.

    Agreed , though I must admit Im hazy on the puerile definition.

    I didn't see one thread on the first page of New Posts that was of that type. I thought that is more of a Prog Archives thing?

    Does it have to be in the eye?

    I agree and it's the reason why I don't visit Progarchives!

    Prog Archives would be arguing, graphing and rating the progness of an habanero dipped ice pick in the eye

    To be fair, it's historically been a small list of perps with two of the three usual suspects AWOL for mysterious reasons...

    But, yeah, I'll choose the icepick, heated white-hot, over these incessant posts any day...

    I ate a dried ghost pepper on a bet for $50 and threw up. Enjoy your meal.

    I didn't realise there were now 2 peppers hotter than the ghost pepper. If you're gonna be one of those retards (no offense chalkpie) who will eat one of these on a bet, don't think water will appease the heat. It only makes it worse. Make sure you have something cold and dairy on hand. Ice cream or frozen yogurt helps...though I pity you the next morning. I don't think Ben & Jerry make a suppository!

    there's more than that but they are essentially ghost peppers on steroids.

    Had ice cream, milk.....totally pointless. It was pretty much the worse thing ever. After about 30 minutes when the pain started to subside, then I started feeling nauseous and then puked. I think my buddy has it on video.

    I don't mind them, they get some discussion going- they aren't just banal list threads.

    Actually, eating bread is better than most things. It absorbs the oils. That's why water doesn't help. Of course, the best thing is to not eat anything on a bet. Especially only 50 bucks.

    Don't like the list threads, don't like the vs threads, but I am fond of up-the-ass threads.

    Really? Judging from your avatar I would have thought you prefered a companion less obtrusive.

    Ate a ghost pepper fresh a few months ago, not too bad (I've got a pretty high tolerance though...I have sauces with both Reaper and Scorpion at home as well).

    The trick with peppers is the quantity, usually...a small amount added to a dish can really add a nice extra dimension.

    There's "stunt" stuff like Flashbang that isn't really about taste or flavor...just an endurance test. IMHO that stuff is kinda silly.

    Sort of like the "Vs." threads, IMHO
