Gourds Don't Kill People
 

Sorry. Had to be done. :D

And besides, gourds don't kill people. Go ahead, find me an instance of a gourd killing someone.

I dare ya.

what do you think about durian?

I'm pretty sure just the smell of durian is lethal.

I'm thinking about going to the store after laundry, and then lunch.

Ima be durian a lot of things today...wait, you said durian, I thought you said doing. Hang on a sec, I gotta go learn what durian is.

This quote from the durian Wikipedia entry tells me all I need to know:

Pass. :headshake

Although it does look deadly enough.

Or were you talking about the band Durian Durian?

This thread is about gourd control.

I am both a gourd owner and enthusiast. Gourds, in the right hands, can be made into marvelous soups and stews, compliment other dishes or be hollowed out to make a spectacular thanksgiving table center piece. The tradition of gourds in this country is much longer and much prouder than any gun tradition. Gourds, unless catapulted, hurt NO ONE sir, and I expect better from you.

Sincerely,
Pumpkin Eater

whatever you do, don't do a Google image search for: gourd papua new guinea

They may not have ever killed anyone, but they can take an eye out.

I just googled a pic of a durian and if the spikes and the fetid smell of the pulp is not enough to put you off you kind of deserve to die.

spikes on plants and animals are a warning from nature. They say STOP, go away. Also the same can be said for Western males who spike themselves. Usually not a good candidate for a date.

Good thing durian and drop bears aren't indigenous to the same area. I'd be afraid to ever walk outside.

:lol:

seriously, did you see that fruit? It's saying "I"m worse than tequila" right there on the label.

I've had durian and I love it. A little goes a long way though. To be fair, I've had tequila too. Como to think of it, a little tequila goes a long way too.

I've heard durian described as like eating custard while sitting on a pit toilet.


There is a band called Totally Gourdgeous whose instruments are made out of gourds.

I've had durian and I've sat on a pit toilet. Until now, those ideas never shared a breath, much less a simultaneous experience. Now pit toilet are ruined for me. Thanks. :eyebrow:

The pumpkin god has spoken

I have never eaten anything whilst sitting on any type of toilet.

On the other hand...I have uneaten some things whilst sitting on a toilet.:vomitblu:

dunno where you are relative to Lexington, but they appear to have an asian grocery there, and that's what you need to get durian in these/those parts.

you go get one. sit on a chair in the kitchen and have some durian. close your eyes as you're having a bite, breathe deeply as you eat a piece of that creamy flesh.

then come back here and tell me how far off you find ZenGum's description.

*Disclaimer*

I have not eaten durian. The "custard-on-the-toilet" phrase was used (independently) by two people I know who have.

I also know durian is banned from many hotels and forms of public transport in S.E. Asia.


ETA: Of course, if you want a really good durian, you want one that's already been eaten and shat out by an elephant.

kopi luwak of the gods!

omg.

edited to add the omg and to say I just now read the article. kopi luwak indeed. It beggars the imagination to think of one of those durians anywhere in any gastrointestinal tract. They are uncomfortable to hold in my hand, much less manipulate peristallically. I call bullshit. so to speak.

1. Find some weird, rare and preferably gross substance.
2. Charge $1,000 a kilo
3. Start a rumour about it being an aphrodisiac.

Ka-ching, baby.

The rare pit of the carrion flower can be consumed to great aphrodisiactic effects now on sale for 1 dollar a gram

To be clear, this doesn't ehance performance, just desire. What guy needs that?

OK, is this a roofie... or maybe one of those, "She wouldn't eat the mushrooms".
