R.A.Danny: GAT_00: Cheater.

He's an Illinois politician, they don't cheat.

They simply lie and steal.

Yeah, he didn't really successfully do it -- he clearly hadn't swallowed it when he drank the water.

But who the fark cares?

Bah, that's nothing. Try a spoonful of this:


/Full disclosure: I really like the flavor of Marie Sharp's less incendiary offerings, but "Belizean Heat" is the hottest I've tried, mainly because I'm not a masochist.

OK, what is the deal with this cinnamon thing? How hard can it be?

/lives in a box so doesn't have cinnamon
//wouldn't want to try it anyway....

He's also a shiatty hockey coach.

Ask her how easy it is.... (new window)

The spice... must flow.

When the Cinnamon Challenge is "new again" it is incontrovertible proof that the internet itself is old.

Which makes me feel really old.

Habanero? Hmmm.... I grow hydroponic ghost peppers hot enough to weaponize. I think that stuff looks pretty mild.

Pffft. I synthesize capsaicin in my underground laboratory and rub it in my eyes just for the fark of it.

I'm fine with this.

You mean the IL tax package that put IL residents on average with the rest of the country, from being a state that could barely pay for anything since we barely had a tax base? Unless you're one of those Cato Institute weirdos who think that we don't need an infrastructure, Quinn's tax package was perfectly reasonable and also eliminated a lot of the corporate free rides that made us the Delaware of the Midwest. And no one wants to be Delaware.

That powdered stuff probably isn't even real cinnamon

Ambivalence: Often, when I have a cold I'll get so congested I can't taste anything.

So one day to proove this to a collegue, I ate a bit of his super-hot hot sauce.

There was a little tingling, but I tasted nothing.

THis challenge would probably be best done in that state.

Hmm...it's kind of dry.

While there are probably some people who can't deal with the spiciness, the worst part about a wad of ground cinnamon is its mucilaginous nature.

Eating a spoonful of cinnamon is stupid. And possibly dangerous.

Brandmeier is a washed-up has-been who was sometimes funny back in the day, but he has always been too ready to resort to cheap, tired gags like this.

It's really disappointing that Quinn would stoop to this kind of gimmick. But he is an Illinois governor, and we citizens of Illinois have learned not to expect much.

Eating a spoonful of cinnamon is easy. I don't even know why this is a challenge. It's like challenging people to jump on a turtle in Mario.

I put a spoonful of cinnamon on toast all the time (well, probably half a spoonful per toast and I eat two pieces). Why is eating it raw so hard?

I don't get it.

Granted it's spread over a lot of bites... but...

I bet you are a blast at parties.

I don't really listen to Brandmeier (on too early, I work second shift at work). I do really like Quinn though. He is a HELL of a lot better than the governors of any of the surrounding states, and infinitely better than the sociopath he ran against last year.

Besides, the cinnamon thing was just a fun (and kinda bad-ass) thing to do. Let's see Gov. Walker try that.

I wish I knew some dickbag who wanted to do this challenge in person. I'd empty out a cinnamon container, then refill it with cayenne pepper, then they come over and I get the video camera....

When I hear claims that corporate taxes are limiting the size of your workforce, I take it with a grain of salt.. one the size of Jupiter.

I'll take Quinn over Walker for sure. A governor doing stunts on a has-been morning zoo is weak, whoever he is.

I don't go to parties.

He would totally hire more people than he needs if only the taxes on his profits were lower!

Must be different way of levying corporate taxes there, around here they are based on profits, so the larger your workforce, the less tax you pay (assuming the same revenues), as you have less profits to tax.

I now know Pat Quinn's fark handle.
