I have spent the evening in my study considering the world, weighing the ups and downs, remembering to coddle the chili from time to time. Tonight I am working on a chili, called Confederate Blast, that took it's very roots from the Civil War. It is said to once have been a favorite of Ulysses S. Grant. One of the ingredients is actual tree bark.

Chili prices have plummeted! The nation rejoices as the price for a barrel of chili in the U.S. has has dropped to nearly $3.00 a barrel. A Fill-N-Chill in Poonch, Texas reached $2.99/barrel, and was the first station to break the 3 dollar mark in North America.
Station Manager, Bril Vestibule, made quite an ordeal about his breaking the 3 dollar mark. Vestibule had a PA setup on the back of his pickup truck, and spent the afternoon hollering into a megaphone dressed up in a large #3 costume. Vestibule later drifted too far into traffic, while carrying on about what a great delivery driver he had on his staff, and was hit by a tow truck. Vestibule was rushed to St. Rooster's Memorial Hospital and lived despite being pronounced dead on arrival.

Chili Chat has been under the gun lately to give a comment about the recent passing of Osama Bin Laden. Bin Laden had been on the Chili Chat's radar for quite some time with his 2004 quote: "Reject the immoral acts of fornication, homosexuality, intoxicants, gambling, and chili." Words of a deceased man.
Local news anchor, Crent Diddler, caught up with Chip Crinkle outside his Vanhoover home last week. "How does it feel, Chip? An enemy of chili is wiped from the earth forever. This has to be seen as a victory for the chili community," Diddler inquired.
A clearly tickled Crinkle would not comment directly on the death of Bin Laden, but did go on to add; "There will be a big pot of chili on the fire at my place tonight, you bet your britches."

Very informative, thanks for the update, Breadbowl! I think I'm going to have a go at writing a chili haiku of my own.
