Somehow I managed to breathe jalapeno up my nose this morning. Oh, colossal kolache, why do you betray me so? (Also... how do I do this to myself?) Oh, it burns...
Would it help you to know that I was laughing so much at one point at the con this weekend that I hit my nose on the chair in front?! Yeah, not clever! Fortunately, no bruising or breaks - just embarrassment!
The thought of inhaling sugar is almost as painful as accidentally inhaling a jalapeno... although I must ask, why were you trying to snort chili powder? ;)
Ow. Sorry dude. To this day my mother loves to tell the story about when I was four or five, bit into one of my father's jalapenos, sat there for a few seconds, and then went fire-engine red and ran for the bathroom sink ....
Oddly enough, no. Then again, apparently I also once sucked a lemon dry, vampire-style. And my friend still marvels about the time I made a breakfast of knockwurst, sauerkraut, Doritos, and grapefruit juice, back in college. Yet somehow, I've gotten tamer and less able to deal with strong spices since I went vegetarian, which seems backwards. (Never got the hang of Indian or Thai foods, which really is a pity.)
And that breakfast sounds both horrifying and... kind of intriguing. Of course, in my college days I use to have this really strange/disgusting habit of dipping Cheetos into mayonnaise. Thankfully, I broke myself of that one. I just don't think the world would understand.
OT1H: Pretty gruesome pain, embarassing nasal runnage, possible sinus infection.
OTOH: You get the trump story for every most painful moment contest ever unless you end up meeting Bear Grills someday.
(This comment is mostly for the purposes of letting you know that I have friended you? Because I enjoy your fic, and your sense of humor is... amusing to me. Which might be redundant, but, you know, complementary.)
Also, at the risk of sounding incredulous... was it, like, powdered jalapeno? Cause I don't know how fine a mince you can whip up, but I probably couldn't manage to snort the pieces I cut, even by accident :P
Re: OT1H: In retrospect, the pain was only initially bad. I sneezed a lot. (The other two... ew, yeah, maybe a little.)
Re: OTOH: Man, I can even top myself in this category ;) I once managed to break my toe by walking from my living room to my kitchen.

Well, it probably had to do with me trying to surgically remove the jalapenos from the kolache with by fingers, and accidentally shredding a tiny, inhalable piece. How it got from point A to point B is still beyond me (but then again, I somehow manage to get spaghetti sauce on my forehead when eating Italian, so I'm probably just beyond hope.) Thankfully, the sneeze was invented for just this emergency... so I didn't exactly aspirate it.
APOLOGIES FOR LENGTHLINESS
Nahh, never apologize. I love to talk, so it gives me plenty of opportunity to embarrass myself further expand on my thoughts :D

(And I have no food icons. This is a travesty!)
