Wow and I thought amines smelled bad. Also is it my imagination, or did the spacebar fairy pay that webpage a visit?

We used to live next to the Isonitriles, Jack and Doris, I think. That was about the only house we skipped on Halloween.

"The Godzillas of Odor" wbagnfarb
Sorry, russell - that names already taken by my son's shoes.
Speaking of odors, I went out Wednesday night with a couple of buddies and had three beers the name of which rhymes with "Bloo Mune". The next morning and well into the afternoon I was plagued with copious amounts of voluminous flatulence. I mean it was like I had dined on burritos and cabbages or something. (I had tuna & noodles with green beans.)
Has anyone else had this experience with "Bloo Mune"?

I did feel bad for them when their dog died.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | September 29, 2006 at 09:39 AM
That is one FUGLY dog, Wyo...yikes!
btw...are you ready for the wedding?
Posted by: Siouxie | September 29, 2006 at 09:42 AM
I love the descriptions of the odor... "Much like a horrible picture... that can’t be purged from your mind. Even after the scene changes you are left with a ghost difficult to eradicate..."
Huh. Sounds like the effect that It's a Small World, After All has on most people.
Sorry, y'all... I know it's too early in the morning for such a vicious earworm, but it's too late now, I guess. :-)

edgar allan poe tried to describe it 'the telltale fart'...

Ready as I'll ever get, Sioux.
CH, I hate you. but then you knew that, didn't you?
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | September 29, 2006 at 09:51 AM
CH and may I say to you...
I love you...you love me
We're a disfunctional family...
*Good morning*!
Posted by: Siouxie | September 29, 2006 at 09:52 AM
Good morning, boogers!
Wyo, now I'm picturing you as the Wedding March starts, humming to yourself, "It's a world of tears/And a world of fears..." LOL
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 29, 2006 at 10:10 AM
CH - you hit the same idea about these smells that I had: an earworm of the nose.
And watch out for the Raymond Burr of odors!
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | September 29, 2006 at 10:12 AM
You can keep laughin' CH, you've got four weddings comin' up soon. HA!!!!!
good luck.

Four Weddings and a Funeral?
Posted by: Siouxie | September 29, 2006 at 10:16 AM
"Soon" in geological terms, maybe.
Eldest seems to have learned from the mistakes of her parents, and does not seem inclined to get married right away.
Next one is still more interested in dinosaurs and swordfighting than boys.
Third one's going to have a hard time finding a boy who isn't intimidated by her intellect and beauty.
As for the fourth, since she's just four weeks old, it's hard to say yet...
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 29, 2006 at 10:21 AM
My own funeral, maybe, if I uncork another audio isonitrile... ;-)
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 29, 2006 at 10:22 AM
CH, take my word for it. It'll be soon. Rationalize all you want, you can't change destiny.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | September 29, 2006 at 10:23 AM
How do isonitriles compare to this?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 29, 2006 at 10:26 AM
Oh, man, Chris. Betsi needs to see that page.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 29, 2006 at 10:33 AM
I think I once found some of these iso-whatevers in my kid's diaper a few years back. These "scientists" think they know everything.

How does one get to be an "Odor Theorist"? Like this?:
W: "OH MY GOD, Bill, was that YOU??"
B: "Uh, no, that wasn't me...I think it was a cloud of noxious methane leeching up out of the earth and escaping from the cracks in the foundation. At least, that's my theory."

So I'm reading along and glance to the left side of the screen, and big as Dallas there's a link for Vaginal Odor. Yeesh.

Can I package it and sell it at diet clinics and modeling agencies?

I'd like a bottle of this to spray on those obnoxious Perfume Counter "ladies" at the mall.

As long as isonitriles don't smell like C*** left out in the R**n, I think we're ok.

*sigh* I ran in here with a Small World comment, only to find that I have been beaten to it several times already.
