Defcon Wing-Eating Deathmatch @ Weekend of Fire

On August 1 & 2nd in Fairfield Ohio, a wonderous event happened: The Jungle Jim's Weekend of Fire festival. And at that event was the "Death Match Hot Wing Competition." Contestants are served DEFCON sauced wings and the winner, well I guess is the last man standing, more or less:

Here's some points of mine from the video.

• I love watching this. The challenge. The pain.
• I love when the video concentrates on the guys who can't take the pain. There is a look of disbelief on their face: the eyes are wide, the mouth ajar. In their minds they are thinking "What the hell have I done?"
• You can tell who knows what they are doing: the guys with big pitchers or drinks can't handle the heat, while the 'pros' don't drink anything. Also the kid at the end eating ice cream for his mouth
• The guy who is so hot he has snot running out of his nose, then he licks the snot . . . not needed.
• I really wish I could have been part of this. Although I think the gloves are a cop out.
• I really want to try DEFCON sauces, I've heard good things.
