Hello Fellow Stinker Lovers:
I would say that Luis' performance with Konjac has made me really jealous
because mine never grow like that.
I suggest that we nominate him for the Big Stink award. Ah, but that will
probably go to an A amorphophallus. Well, maybe the stinkiest fastest
trophy? ;-))
All kidding aside, how do you do it, Luis? Tell us your secrets.
