Soup, Tea and Death Warmed Over
The Advent of the Snot Fruit
Ach, so this is what it feels like when a weekend of letchery catches up to you.

I REPENT!!! DEAR GOD, I REPENT!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaugh...

Actually, this weekend was fairly lazy and comfortable, though we did facilitate the entry of a number of our friends to a pimps-and-hos party. We stayed for a bit before coming home and getting ripped ourselves. I'm such a lightweight. Bah.

So today I'm paying for it. In unfair ways! I'm healthy, dammit!!!! *POUTS* I'm also probably delirious at this point. I'll be okay when the bleeding stops. Uuugh.

The Snot Fruit has nothing to do with my current situation. Rather, I was at albertsons picking up some steroid-enhanced chicken when I came across the zaniest looking thing in the fruit section... a small, fist sized, orange, spiky melon-thing. It was with mangos, kiwis, papayas, and such, so I figured it was good, whatever it was. I can't remember what it was called, but the sticker said something about a kiwi melon. Anyway, we took it home and sliced it open expecting some kind of fruity pulp on the inside but instead it was filled with BRIGHT GREEN GOOP. I wasn't turned off yet, so I slurped some of the goop which was contained in little seed-packets (envision a pomegranite here)... and it was.... engh. Well, it wasn't sweet and it wasn't sour. It tasted somewhere between a cucumber, underripe kiwi, and bannana. It wasn't GOOD but it wasn't horrid either. It was just... snotty.

Once we established that it wasn't good for eating, the "Snot Fruit" then became the abject fascination of my roomate, Ty. He, Justin, and I spent the better part of the next 20 minutes mutilating the poor fruit. It became a symbol of Alien insemination, boogers, and bug-things. It was really, hilarously, middle-schoolishly GROSS. And it was a riot. When you squeezed the spiky rind hard enough, the seeds splattered out in a high-powered burst. I told Ty he should shove a few seeds up his nose and sneeze. He didn't, but the image was enough.

The Snot Fruit is now sitting in a ziploc baggie on top of the microwave with my other fruit and it looks rather dejected. I don't think I'll eat the rest.

At least the $2.50 wasn't a complete waste. Anyone want some Snot?
