Rick Prentice the fabulous metal fabricator....

[SundaySailor]

Gents and Gentesses. I'm sure each of you have had the good fortune to either possess some of the fabricated metal products Rick Prentice has made, or at least seen some of his fine master craft work. He can easily put someone of my low end caliber to shame. I own one of his steps, the beverage carrier, and even a 3 pt hitch that I love. So, I know the quality of his fine craftmanship.

However, he has a certain perplexing situation. It seems as if he now has need to fabricate some sort of extruded metal device that is able to thwart off high degrees of heat, and he's "sweating" it out on this one.

Here's the background: Someone of un-named origin mailed him a jar of homemade chow-chow that would put the hair on a bald spot on your head, and turn around and burn that brand new hair off along with a few extra hairs too boot. From what I've heard, it "burns twice", hence the need for some metal replacement parts for original parts that cannot seem to stand the heat. So, can any of you step right in and help this poor, kind hearted gentleman out? I'm sure he'd appreciate it a lot being the gracious person he is. BTW, reliable sources have it that he was planning on buying a couple of hotdogs down the road from him and plying them with this fire sauce. He hasn't been heard from since that time though, and I'm a bit worried about him.

Please see if you can help out our wonderful, great friend as we need to gather around him in his hour of need.

WELL, I see everyone's been having fun with SundaySailor's sentence:

I've heard, it "burns twice", hence the need for some metal replacement parts for original parts that cannot seem to stand the heat.

however, that didn't come from me. I've grown up with "HOTSAUCE" all my life. My Dad makes his special recipe almost every year, even some with "Habernero" peppers. Talk about hot. So I've been fine, just working out in the garage more. I've made a small list of you guys that've had some fun with this topic and one at a time, I'll return the favor You're at the top, Rick Now who's laughing, hee-hee

Oh, Thanks for the kind topic words Rick, I think?

Well, well, well. I sure am glad to know you're ok Rick. I know you mentioned something about torturing yourself with this mysterious jar of concoction. I was just getting ready to call out the emergency fire help and maybe have *someone* send up another jar to help wash the old one out real good. Personally, I know about that blue fire sauce you and your dad cook up. The last time some made it my way, the jar had a smoky smell to it, and the jar was hot to the touch. Funny thing is, it arrived during the coldest months of the year. I still can't figure that one out. So, go ahead and send your firebrand sauce on down. It'll be cooled off with a frosty from Wendy's or other place, and I'll have my co-workers staring in amazement again.

this subject has reminded me of a little story....

i once did a job in Millersburg, PA, near Gratz, PA. we went to a place in Millersburg that served hot chicken wings. well, not to be outdone by my friends ordering their crablegs and such, i asked the waitress for "the hottest chicken wings you have!". well, astounded, the meek waitress says to me, with her eyes wide open, "you mean... you want the 'Devil Dust'?!?!?!" and i says, "bring it on".

well. the hottest wings i've EVER had, before or after. i gave one each to my 2 buddies (who couldn't even eat'em), and ate 8 of the remaining 10, nibbling on the other 2, so that i could say "i ate'em all". well, i must've made "an impression", 'cuz after clearing the table, the waitress says, and this is verbatim: " "Beastie" wants to meet you!", and i say "Beastie?!?!", and she says, "yes, the cook". so, after a while this guy comes to the table; short, muscular, long black hair and beard, wearing a tye-dyed shirt and a bandana - "Beastie" in his glory! he says, "so you like dat hot sauce, eh?" and i commented that it was a little warm... and with a big smile he says that he grows and breeds the peppers himself, roasts them himself, and prepares the sauces from scratch... and gives me one of those plastice take-out thingies like for the blue cheese or other dressings for "on-the-side" stuff, full of the hottest thing known to man's insides. man, i could smell the roasted peppers from where i was sitting when he handed them to me! youch! that was a painful couple of days!

however, that's not the end of it.... after about a few days, i developed "a rash" - in all the "soft areas" of my body, including the obvious ones, but also my armpits, back of my knees & in my elbows, et cetera. this non-painful, raised, bumpy, reddish rash lasted for... count'em... 2 months!

now, top that one, Mr. Fire-In-Your-Pants!
