Duck-Billed Catechist Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I'm surprised that a man of the people--a man with an insatiable bloodlust--has not been nominated. Yes, friends, I'm talking about Andrew Jackson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kimcatch22 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yeah, but his chili sucked ass.Oh no doubt. I agree with bjorn about Polk. Also add the Mexican-American War and Manifest Destiny to the list of Polk's chili accomplishments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ikol Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yeah, but his chili sucked ass. I disagree. Considering he had false teeth, he was probably forced to rely on liquid-based foods such as chili. Indeed, his kickass chili is probably the only thing that kept many of his soldiers alive during the harsh winter at Valley Forge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 The correct answer is Calvin Coolidge. Most think that his nickname, "Silent Cal," was due to his quiet nature, but it is in fact a reference to his silent but deadly farts that followed every chili cookoff.

Tenderloin Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 When I was in 5th grade, my Social Studies teacher used to make us play this game called "4 corners". It was a memory game. All students were required to write down a person in history on a piece of paper to which was collected in a hat. Each piece of paper was then read aloud, and the class was divided into 4 groups (one in each corner of the room). The object of the game was for each team, during their turn, to "steal" people from other teams by calling out the names that remembered were read from the hat. If no one remembered who you put in the hat, you got out of some bs homework assignment. Anyways...I won the game by writing "Millard Fillmore" on my slip. Little did I know that he would have such a successful soap-on-the-rope product years later. So, once again, I'm writing "Millard Fillmore" on my slip, for the hat. My favorite hot lunch in 5th grade was the chiliburger with tater tots, btw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good dude, but doesn't strike me as a chili guy. There's a family recipe for baked beans (true story), which may be the source of the SBDs you reference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Ok, this has NOTHING to do with chili but I thought it was pretty damn funny stuff. The 5 Most Badass Presidents in U.S. History http://www.cracked.com/article_15895_5-mos...s-all-time.htmlGood list. I particularly like Old Hickory's quote:"I have only two regrets: I didn't shoot Henry Clay and I didn't hang John C. Calhoun." And John Q. Adams' quote works great if you say it aloud in Mr. Potter's (from It's a Wonderful Life, whom he uncannily looks like in the photo) voice:"The art of making love, muffled up in furs, in the open air, with the thermometer at Zero, is a Yankee invention."

mpolak21 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 First of all I loved the Cracked article, great stuff. In terms of the Chili cookoff I could see Nixon having people break into the other president's houses and stealing their recipes beforehand, and therefore kicking ass the cookoff. However, I'm sure someone would catch wind of this and confront Tricky Dicky leading him to say "I'm a not a cook." Or something along those lines... --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
