I took a tram trip to meet a bunch of people I only knew via the internet. This was around one of those times moral-panic current-affair shows had a couple of stories about the danger of such trips. Turns out they were right, a cup of Tea at the beach side coffee house costs $4.80.
A long time ago, I mixed extra-spicy-chilli-chips, boysenberry ice cream and choc-coating mix together. If I could provide a single word of advice: Don't.

Your chilli story reminds me of another thing I did that was really fucking stupid. I sliced Red Savina Habaneros with my bare hands (and a knife, what I mean to say is that I wasn't wearing gloves) and then went to the bathroom without washing my hands. Now a few people would have done something similar with chillies, most likely with the Jalapeno which has a heat rating of 2500 points or so on the scoville scale (which measures chilli heat) and that can be pretty fucking painful. The red savina, by contrast, has a rating of 350,000-580,000 points. Lets just say it's a miracle I still have a fuctional knob...
I've tried SingStar on the PS2. If those bars representing my voice were 1 or 2 lines higher, I would of nailed 100% on that game. Bah! Sure I can summon Aliens and Space-Nazis, but I don't want to make me fellow Aussie have to do such an act as singing Total Eclipse of the Heart... You're a braver soul than I good Sir.
Your chilli incident also brought back memories.
Chili Padi (AKA: Birds Eye / Thai Pepper). 50,000-100,000 scoville. Cut them up. Touched them with hands. Wiped by brow. Hand touched eyelid. Spent the next half hour with the shower blasting my face. Habaneros (tasty with noodles) after finding out their rating, I use tongs and don't touch directly. Functional knob? sweet zombies man! You're lucky to survive!
