the great wing sauce off!
ok i finally found the bottle i was looking for so now i can do my review of some of teh best buffalo wing sauces.
from left to right we have original anchor bar buffalo wing sauce, defcon 2 medium, buffalo wild wings hot, and hooters hot.first let me give you guys a little history of the buffalo wing and what is is and isnt.buffalo wings were first prepared in Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY in the 1964. chicken wings were typically thrown away but the idea was hatched to deep fry them and coat them in some sauce. The sauce used was franks red hot sauce (cayenne pepper based sauce available at just about any grocery store) mixed with an equal portion of melted butter in order to stick to the wings. as the years went on, the sauce had some more ingredients added but stayed essentially the same. Most restaurants today use the franks red hot and butter mix.official buffalo wings are NEVER breaded (this is a SIN in buffalo, NY) and are always served with bleu cheese (not ranch... this is also a sin) and celery. america culture has evolved the buffalo wing to basically mean any chicken product coated in hot sauce and butter is a "buffalo wing".anyways, on to the sauce review! first is the original anchor bar sauce. This is the sauce that you will find on your wings, should you ever find yourself at anchor bar in Buffalo, NY. This sauce is pretty decent but to me has a slight to much garlic. The "hotter" flavor of this brand toned down the garlic and added some heat. This sauce is not hot at all. they also have a "suicidal" recipe which looks quite wicked but I have yet to try. next we have the Defcon 2 in Medium. This sauce is a consumer created sauce that was created by a buffalo wing fan and has won numerous awards for best wing sauce at a number of hot sauce and foods competitions. This sauce comes in a cool bottle that looks like medicine but the flavor is absolutely awesome! like your average wing sauce but with a real nice tang and bite that leaves you wanting more. i think this is probably my favorite. they have different degrees of heat but its the medium here that has won all the awards. this still will make you sweat a tiny bit after a few wings covered in it.next is buffalo wild wings hot sauce. This is my favorite flavor from their line of 12 different sauces and what i feel is their most traditional tasting sauce. this stuff is pretty hot for the average wing fan and should definitely be consumed with something to drink. it sneaks up on you. this is probably my second favorite.last is the hooters hot wing sauce. this stuff is pretty good and similar to the defcon 2 sauce except it is an official store bought product so it has been consumerized and left not as flavorful as something that hasnt sat on store shelves for a long time. There is a slight bit of heat here but nothing to sweat about. I think they have dumbed down the heat levels because even the "nine mile island" and "911" flavors at hooters barely make my mouth feel anything anymore. this stuff is pretty rare on store shelves so if you see it, get it. it still deserves to be tasted if you dont fancy a trip to your local hooters!there are many other great buffalo wing sauces out there but i feel that these are the top 4. I will be reviewing more as i get them so stay tuned!

band
ok i got a new watch band for the omega... this is a NATO strap that is used by the NATO military force as well as british military dive teams. it was also worn on sean connerys rolex in all of his films as james bond.
noble!
ok this is a VERY VERY rare sight... this is a car called a noble M14... they are a british car like lotus but it is pretty hard to get one over here... im guessing that this is one of maybe two in the entire state. they are faster then my lotus and way more expensive too... i couldnt get a better shot because i was driving and this sighting happened really fast... hopefully i can hunt this guy down and get some good shots for you guys...
my new desk!
ok so at work i got moved up to the quality control manager position which means that i make sure that all of our incoming parts match standards and measure the same and i put labels on everything and all that. This is my new huge ass desk with all of my paints and inks and measuring tools....
this is an example of what some of the valves look like when they come in... i take them like this and do what i do back at my desk and then sort them to where they go in the warehouse:

lotus time!
tis the season! I finally got my lotus running and pulled out of the garage on tuesday night. late last year the car stopped working and wouldnt start so i spent the entire tuesday night putting in new spark plugs, fuel injectors and tensioning the timing belt. it runs like a champ now!
DUMBASSES!
I absolutely HATE spandex wearing bicyclists who think they own the road. like these two A-Holes:
they always do about 10 MPH along the side of the street and you cant pass their slow asses without getting into the oncoming lane of traffic! the funny thing about this picture is, notice the BIKE PATH to their right that probably cost the city thousands to put in for morons like this. This is especially bad around lake calhoun... their bike paths are clearly marked with a stencil of a BIKE directly on the path, every 100 ft or something, yet you still get the "im too good for a path" idiots that ride in the already narrow street! I once saw a car full of hispanics driving around calhoun and they had to swerve to avoid one of these spandex wearing jackholes, so they pulled up next to him and reached out the car and shoved him over and yelled "BIKE PATH" as they sped off. I laughed my ass off!
