Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When men aren't able to go hunt mammoths with each other, they turn to other ways of proving which one of them is toughest.

Oh yeah, I was going to say that, too. People that are into this kind of thing should get a job that's physically dangerous for a while, and see if they still need the EXTREEEEEEME FOOD!!!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Honestly, a few good mammoth hunts with spears and loincloths would burn off a lot of excess testosterone.

Even if they didn't find any mammoths.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You just know this stuff's gonna turn up on Fear Factor any day now.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Ultra-concentrated “16 Million Reserve” is the hottest science can make.

All I know for certain is that Lisa Welchel's kids had better watch thier mouths.

Hmm... the creators name is "Blair". Coincidence? I think not.

Okay, I wouldn't necessarily risk death for good flavour, but what's the point if it doesn't?

Right. No fugu for ita, check.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No fugu for ita, check.

Fugu doesn't taste good? What the hell is the rationale for eating it then? Why not just play Russian roulette?

When the hot exceeds the taste, it is too much. That's something that varies widely. I went from barely being able to handle the mildest of chile to being fairly normal for a native New Mexican. But I can't tell you why I like the spicy. I don't get a rush off of it the way some people do. It just adds an extra layer, I guess.

I don't know what it tastes like, but you said you WOULDN'T risk it even if it did.

Mainly, it was just an excuse to type "fugu". It's fun!

What is even happening?

I think you just articulated it perfectly. Eating is sensual. Lots of people hate certain foods apart from the flavor, simply because of texture. Spice that simply (or mainly) adds heat, is one more sense that's stimulated during eating, but to take it past the pleasure-point of pain seems contrary to the point.
