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.

You want to hit them right behind the forelegs.

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

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.

just ordered yarn to finish my first purse. yay.
I can't think of a good reason to be proactive about work today. I think we should all celebrate and eximplify the passive worker.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If it weren't for the fact that I just put in laundry, I would have said I might as well have gone to work today, considering the amount of school work I've gotten done thus far. And STILL no Serenity.

If I only had a brain...
I think the point of fugu is that it tingles -- a little of the neurotoxin remains.
