The big day

The day for the seventh annual Thoroughbred Times chili cook off has arrived, and we're live on the faded carpet in the basement of 2008 Mercer Road where the lunchroom dungeon has been transformed into a magical fantasy land.

Helping give the experience that acid trip quality we've all come to expect from a Thoroughbred Times chili cook off is the annual tournament of crock pots parade. The 60s and 70s motif on some of the vessels are sure to encourage flashbacks to headier days when popping a tab didn't mean drinking some disgusting diet soda.

Cook off coordinator Laura Lacy confirmed six participants on Thursday afternoon, so it will be interesting to see if there are any surprise entrants.

Tom Law won the inaugural chili cook off and said in a rare text message Thursday that he hopes to emulate the Green Bay Packers by winning the first and most recent big events. Will advertising be this year's stealers as they were rumored to be in 2009 when implicated in a ballot-stuffing ring that helped Hal Moss emerge victorious?

Also representing advertising this year are Shelli Baker and 2010 winner Renee McClendon. Rounding out the field are Wendy Young of Buyer's Guide fame and Holly Werner from Horse Illustrate.
