    I would be interested in a capsaicin extraction, just for novelty's sake. Maybe chop and dry some habaneros, soak in ethanol or even something like IPA or DCM. I imagine you could evaporate the latter two solvents and re-dissolve your impure capsaicin goo in a more edible solvent. D-Limonene is chemically similar to xylene and is nontoxic, but it would likely impart a bitter flavor to the extract. Doubt it would be noticeable though, since this stuff would certainly be active by the drop.

    Broccoli and cheese soup does not sound appealing. But I don't really like my soup world and my cheese world to mix.

    Unless we's talking some french onion soup. But that's a whole 'nother animal.

    Cheese soup isn't exactly an exotic concept.

    Yeah, I get that. It just sounds like it'd make you feel bloated and nasty and such.

    I actually use very little cheese. Although I more than make up for it in butter.

    i have no idea what feral is trying to say unless it's just glibly asserting that things should never be assessed as to how common they are and only assessed as to whether or not they are harmful

    i don't think he's saying this, though, because feral is a smart dude and this would be a silly thing to assert

    Right, I'm saying that we can assess things based on commonality and/or consequences.

    In other words, despite comments made about me to the contrary, I'm not going to defend any and all uncommon sexual practices or social behavior. Some things are clearly bad.

    Usually, what we're saying by "normal" is "benign" or just "okay." It's okay to be gay, for instance. We've decided this (for the most part) as a society because we know now that being gay is benign.

    yeah i think we generally agree on this, though i generally read "normal" as "common or routine" though i understand sometimes it implies "acceptable" as well

    i guess i probably have a somewhat more holistic view on it than you do, in that I would be more apt to decide whether the larger subculture surrounding the sexual practice was unhealthy or harmful, rather than just the act itself.

    and also i will freely admit that i get kinda squicked out by plenty of stuff that isn't necessarily first-degree harmful (like adult babies f'rinstance)

    awwww yeah

    I made the mistake once of thinking I'd have the house to myself for a long period of time since I thought all my roommates had left to visit family for the holidays. I was laying on the couch in my boxers watching some TV when I discovered that instead, my roommate had gone to meet his family for lunch and that they would then be coming to hang out at our place for a while. By his family I mean like, a lot of people, it was a bit embarassing.

    Now days I just walk around the apartment in my boxers all the time and my roommates can just deal.
    My roommate's girlfriend moved in with us for a couple of months at one point. One of my conditions for her moving in was "I'm not going to wear pants in my own apartment."

    What a bunch of douche bags.

    Guys deliberately misdescribed an item on eBay. An expensive item. What they called a binding defect was actually A FUCKING CRACK IN THE NECK OF THE GUITAR that RUINED ANY CHANCE OF PLAYABILITY.

    So I get a full refund and leave them neutral feedback. I figured that was more than fair. There's no way that they would have described it as a binding defect if they had even touched the guitar. And they said they did, since I asked. They had a guy that worked there that played guitar as a hobby and checked it out and reported that it played fine. Binding defect.


    So they respond to my Feedback. "Wow. Neutral after a Full Refund. Avoid this Buyer".

    Fuck you, dude.

    So now it's out there in big letters that they deliberated tried to fuck me.

    i use powdered cayenne, roasted green chilies, fresh jalapeno or sambal oelek for more delicate things

    Mine was working at the mall, a friend of mine worked at the "Japanese" beef bowl place. Most of the food was flavorless anyway and he made it special for me. Though deathly spicy doesn't mean flavorless, like some super hot Indian curries. Just means you need a toilet near by though.

    I know the point of adult babyism is the whole "being taken care of" side of it, but there is no way to extricate the "baby" side of the sexual act from the sexual act. It just toes a line I'm not comfortable with being toed.
