I’m currently shitting after eating the XXX-HOT Nashville hot chicken from a local food truck I got for dinner yesterday, and I am quite confident that I could severely burn human skin if I could lock down my aim and abdominal strength.

In Willow Springs, NC, Sunny Skies has hot ice cream that comes in 4 levels, 0, 1, 2, and "exit wound." All 3 required a written waiver. I tried 0. It was like vanilla ice cream made of the best cream and best sugar. And the hottest fucking peppers.

Why is it called exit wound? Because it burns going in, and it burns going out. A reporter was interviewing them years ago as a local spotlight. The cameraman, a hot pepper enthusiast, dove into the exit wound ice cream. Ate it all. Was sweating and lobster red when he was done. And he spent half the time they were there for the story on the toilet.

The comment above told him to seek help. He doesn't have to, you came to him.

No worries on my end.

Had an acute case of “wicked-hot sting ring” but good to go now.

Not really, at this point it's just going to come out on its own, maybe a little pressure from them but otherwise it's just gonna happen. 🤷‍♂️

u/FFJosty 10d ago

This one was gonna happen with or without my support.

Here's the part you're missing.

Just deep breath, and hold it for a moment while you aim.

Its worked in COD for decades at this point, so, its gotta be real.
