In the news

There was a TV presenter that described the smell as being like rotten eggs, vomit or raw sewage. It's supposed to taste lovely though.

I'd like to see that TV presenter actually eating it. If it smells bad, it usually tastes bad.

Andrew Zimmern won't even eat durain and that man eats anything and everything.

They don't usually kill the 6-footers as they aren't really dangerous to people yet. They should have just relocated him away from Wal-Mart.

I remember eating some French cheese someone brought into work and it smelled terrible but tasted delicious. I suppose it's the same with durian, the reason I didn't like the Vegg or black salt as the smell is as bad to me as real eggs.

I tried durian once. To me, it smelled like rotten onions on a hot day. The flavor and texture reminded me of butterscotch pudding. Not really worth putting up with the odor, imo.

I love durian. The breath I get afterwards is everyone else's problem, not mine.

Nevada tea party Republican: ‘Yeah, I would’ vote to bring back slavery

First that guy in North Carolina who was fired for bragging that voter ID laws were keeping "lazy blacks" from voting, and now this guy. How fucked up do you have to be when what you say embarrasses your own party?

I am laughing out loud in the work cafeteria by myself. People must think I'm nuts, but it's just so funny for some reason.
