I feel so ignored... @Guitarhacker - Pizza is the one that gets me too. It's so much fun to peel skin off the roof of your mouth isn't it?

 
@ Craig... Hi! No one could ever ignore you.
 
...and yes, pizzahas gotten me before, so has coffee. Usally you can move stuff like pizza around in your mouth, breath around it etc... but man, this really was a whole new level. I can't believe I tried to swallow it. It just didn't even look hot and I blew on it. I am thankful that this didn't get on the roof of my mouth.
 
@ SR, a cold beer sounds good! I may try that. I am on some meds that regulate how much I can drink (pain stuff) I mean, I could drink more but I'd get feeling bad. I consider it to be a blessing in disguise. I can no longer drink so much beer that I wake up naked and outside... that is a change for the better. Once when I was young (in my 20s) I passed out and slept the night on the front steps.. that was one uncomfortable bed. These days I can drink about 4 beers and I'm done... toasty done.
Our wonderful caring government is talking about restricting scrips of narco pain relievers to 90 days except for cancer patients. I will have to become a criminal again if they do that... break out the patchouli incense and the 12 pack again, but I really do not want to have to go there. However chronic pain will make you do something to get relief. Those nice people in Washington don't have a clue. I hope they come to understand.
Sorry to ramble... I tend to do that.
 
How about this: I heard a GREAT quote yesterday. I was watching some recorded episodes of Duck Dynasty and Si.. Si said, "HEY, I am the Michael Jordan of getting on people's nerves". I laughed out loud... he was dead serious. What a hoot.
 
eidted for HEY...

Another totally enjoyable (not) experience was had in Argentina. 

First evening in country..... we were at the group leader's house. BBQ Argentina style in the backyard. 

So Paul, the missionary, breaks out the Mate cup ( pronounced Ma- tae) and the mate/herb. He fills the cup to the top with the mate and pushes the bombilla (metal drinking straw with a screen on the bottom) down into the mate and pours in boiling water and honey. 

He passes it to the leader of our party who drinks. The honored guest drinks first. I was setting next to Rick so I was second on the cup.
The mate cup is refilled with more hot water and honey and gets handed to me.  Kinda like a toke pipe... refill it, wipe it off and pass it on.... 

Paul says be careful, it's hot.  Rick didn't say anything so I figured it must not be THAT hot.... right? 

Oh yeah it is....!!!   

The hot water mate mixture comes up that METAL straw and instantly heats that thin METAL pipe/straw to the same temperature as the water.  Talk about a burn. Wow that hurt. 
And to top it off, I found the mate was pretty disgusting..... it is an acquired taste obviously. But it was an honor..... so it had to be done. 

And that screen on the bombilla? No, it doesn't filter out much except the larger stems.....
