New Cologne

I should have cleaned off the back of my car before starting it up this morning. Spent too long standing in the giant cloud of toxicity that is my car's exhaust. I'm at work now and I stink. I think my pants are giving off carbon monoxide.

eau de fumee?

Maybe you should go to Jason's office, grab some of the stinkier potted meat eat it, fart, and add to the smell?

Nothing says Valentine's Day like Mexican food the day after. Yow!

A couple of summers ago, my uncle gave me his snowblower that he hadn't used in years. I tried to start it for the first time last night. After pulling the cord enough to be more winded than I had been from the shoveling that I'd already done, I pulled the sparkplug, (without the right sized socket) cleaned it with my grill bush, and hit the cylindar with some ether. (no huffing) Started second pull... but the eau de fumee...

I believe I was on that road trip to pick up said snowblower... Mmm Delaware.

Remember the part where the wheels came off the snowblower on the Tappan Zee Bridge?

It could always be worse...

Whatever happened to that notion of the ironic sccent? We'ren't we all going to go to the Model all wearing Old Spice?

Chaz.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-02-16 04:15:50 +0000
Dude, Hai Karate!

Who is the proud owner of the Chaz, tgl? You?

Posted by Rory_Stark on 2007-02-16 13:48:07 +0000
I sort of like BRUT.

Posted by G lib on 2007-02-16 14:03:35 +0000
Besides Chaz, the worst one is really AXE.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2007-02-16 14:04:24 +0000
Which one? The blue one smells yummy. But then again, I love the smell of cheap men's deoderant.

Posted by mahatma chani on 2007-02-16 14:05:46 +0000
Industry secret: there's a couple C4RT-ers who wear AXE.

Posted by Rory_Stark on 2007-02-16 14:10:35 +0000
Man, I gotta change my user name.

Posted by G lib on 2007-02-16 14:15:05 +0000
All of them. Cheap men's deoderant doesn't do it for me, and well, any perfumery smell doesn't do it for me. Call me a dirty fucking hippy if you will (I can take it!), but I think the best man-smell in the world is "eau de Chippy in a wool sweater," and Chippy doesn't even wear deoderant. *** I like fresh herbs and food smells, flowers, coffee, fruit, mint, garlic, and even skunk, but want to vomit every time I walk through the perfume aisle of Macy's. . . . . . . . ***That's not to say Chippy smells good all the time, "eau de Chippy's socks" and "eau de Chippy's polypropelene long underwear, day 2 of a hike" is a completely different story. Eew, eew, triple eew.

Two things: 1. I think my development stunted around age 14, which might explain the cheap men's deoderant thing (the blue one = Phoenix = yum). 2. I'm not into men's cologne. I read somewhere that men who regularly wear cologne are statistically less able to satisfy their sexual partners, compared to men who do not regularly wear cologne. Oh, and I like fresh man-sweat too. Not the old kind, mind you - the fresh kind. The "I've recently been athletic" smell as opposed to the "I haven't washed in several days" smell. So, three things, I guess.

I sort of like eau de dirty boy, as in "I wash my clothes by putting them in a pile in the closet and when they reach the bottom they're clean!" Only certain boys, though. Some dudes are just rank--particularly those who smell kind of like sour apple juice. The hottest smelling guy I ever knew smelled only very vaguely of cologne, so that you were inclined to lean in real close and get a deep whiff. He explained to me that his secret was spraying the cologne into the air, and whisking his shirt through the atomized droplets. I've always kinda regretted never making a move on him. Oh, and btw, I had four mimosas at work today! I love drinking in the AM at work (2nd week in a row, too.)

I am familiar with the sour apple juice smell. It never bodes well. That guy you never put the moves on was gay. Sayin'.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-02-16 16:45:24 +0000
I wore that stuff once -- forgot to put on deodorant one day and borrowed some from one of the bussers. I wanted to fuck myself.

Posted by ConorClockwise on 2007-02-16 16:49:44 +0000
I will vouch for Glib. Eau de Chippy poly-pro is an "eew".

Posted by G lib on 2007-02-16 17:53:09 +0000
heh heh.

CC gots the Chaz.

Posted by virtue on 2007-02-17 01:15:30 +0000
Perhaps. But if so, far enough to the back of the closet that I still could've had fun.
