Supermodel taking a shit? As an art form. Sounds like a fetish, not an art form.

And yes, I went out. And tried one of those damned coconut things. My response: "meh"

To each their own I guess

I’ve only had young green coconut juice once — I was at a beach in Ecuador, swinging in a hammock that I had suspended between a couple of palm trees. I was half asleep but was awoken by a loud THUMP in the sand next to me. There lay a huge green coconut that had fallen out of the tree and had missed my head by about six inches.

It weighed three or four pounds. I later learned that several people a year are killed (and many injured) around the world by falling coconuts.

Anyway, I spent about an hour trying to get into it with my little Opinel pocketknife. I finally got in. I was expecting "milk" but it was pretty clear. Kind of thick though, and very green tasting.

I didn’t drink it all though, since I didn’t know if it would give me the shits the way too much unripened fruit sometimes can.

BERNIE!!!
That was so much fun … The young coconut was delish … I just really could have used the shot of Malibu in that shell RIGHT from the get go!!! … Let’s face it … There was only one nut honored with a name, which in turn granted it VIP status!!! BERNIE was the one and only worthy of entering the presence of a SUPERMODEL â€œpaying her taxesâ€ …and from my angle the genius of all mysteries was revealed in the puppet show that one fair nightâ€¦ oX!~

We have coconuts falling all over the backyard but when I tap them open (with a hammer and nail) they always taste a little sour.

brilliant! I like that there’s a youngcoconut.com, too. One of the things I like to look at, but have never purchased, are the jars labeled (I swear to god) "gelatinous mutant coconut" that are available in Philipino groceries. Since the jars are glass, it’s pretty apparent that that is exactly what they contain. Also, on the subject of young fruit in chinatown- I am always on the lookout for "baby soursop". They are small and fuzzy, and about the size of pistachios, and have the same kinda obsesive compulsive shelling and eating action going. But they’re sour. They are never in season. I’ve only had them once.
