Poor Ol' Karlos

[Karlos]

I can feel the sluggish stirring of magma within :nervous:

I fear what may come - sitting on the throne, the anticipation of awaiting the inevitable. The tortured colonic tremors that fortell the coming sudden eruption; the gust of superheated steam as it hits the water; the lambent red glow rising from the depths of whatever survives of the lavatory...

Yes, I am afraid...

A truly chthonic experience awaits...

[Karlos]

:lol:

If he can't help, noone can...

[Karlos]

Well, I can joke about it, but seriously, that was nothing short of excruciating, not to mention indescribably unpleasant :-(

No more hot food for me! At least not for a week :lol:

Seriously, why do we do this to ourselves?

Because the capsicum in hot food triggers pain receptors in the mouth, releasing endorphins with add a mild feeling of euphoria to what is already very tasty food. And that "hot coals" feeling in the stomach isn't bad either.

True, there is that...

Although it's all downhill from there. ;-)

And how. True on many levels. I pity the fishes now...

We curry eaters end up having to put calamine lotion from the fridge on our toilet paper.

Say, that's a good idea :-D

Pity the pain receptors in one's bottom don't do the endorphrin rush thing as well, really.

Even after a shower I'm suffering the urge to sit in a bucketful of ice cold calamine lotion...

It doesn't have to be one of bloodlines' cast offs does it? :-o

To be honest I think asian and american definitions of hot are totally different. I've eaten really hot (as in as bad as it is supposed to get) mexican food and whilst in the mouth it has that similar 'sucking the bar of an electric fire' effect, it quickly wears off. I suspect that could be behind T_Bones experience.

When it comes to asian hot food, the burning effect seems to increase with digestion...
