In a quest to find the "toughest tongue in town," a smoke jumper outlasted a Klingon and a roller derby queen to take home the crown.

Ray Rubio, 40, a smoke-jumping firefighter from Redmond, ate 23 Great Balls of Fire at Salvador Molly's restaurant to win the competition, edging out Jim Colvill, who represented the Klingon nation, dressed from head to toe in Star Trek regalia. Rubio was decked out in 90 pounds of firefighting equipment as he sweated away, popping the searing habanero-and-cheese fritters like they were candy.
 
A motley crew of seven "tough" folks braved the heat last Saturday for the sixth annual contest, which kicked off a monthlong fund-raiser for Oregon Heat, a nonprofit organization that helps Oregon's needier families pay their winter heating bills.

Rubio and Colvill made it interesting, matching each other as the sweat poured down their faces. Colvill proved that even Klingons are mortal, ending with 20.

Kai Qaolin!   I know this warrior!  He also sings Karaoke in the original Klingon!  His web page has the origonal Klingon lyrics next to the pathetic terran language equivallents.
