…I’m the only Doper who thinks Weeds is possibly the greatest tv show ever. Or maybe, the only D who writes radio ads for money. ---

This, to me, is the winner by far. The smell of uncooked chicken has got to be one of the most vile odors I have ever whiffed. The ice cream thing isn’t odd, though. Aren’t you essentially just turning it into soft-serve? I always do that by stirring vigorously. Easier to do with the non-dairy stuff that I eat. ---

The smell of uncooked chicken has got to be one of the most vile odors I have ever whiffed. I do not have a strong sense of smell, I suspect that’s part of it; it smells “yummy/let’s eat!” to me. I also like to eat raw chicken though. ---

> [@olivesmarch4th](#): > > Oh please, please I must learn this song. How does the melody go? I would be happy to teach it to you. The tune is basically “Twist and Shout” except for the chorus, which follows, pretty much, the Aaaaaaa bit in the middle of T&S. You go “Baaaaaa…Naaaaaa…Naaaaa…SLUG!” You may clap three times between each syllable there, you know–1-2,3. You must also do the little echoey thing at the end of each line but I’m only going to type that in for the first verse. You know I love my baby (love my baby), Love the way that she hugs (way that she hugs). Some people don’t understand it (don’t understand), She’s a banana slug (banana slug). Ba-Na-Na Slug! She’s only got one foot, Ain’t got no toes. She hangs out in the forest now, Helps to decompose. Some people think that she’s gross, But I don’t hear that jive. If it weren’t for my baby now, The forest might not survive. Ba-Na-Na Slug! The way you wiggle your antennae, You know you give me such bliss. Come on, come on, come on Banana Slug, Oh won’t you give me a kiss? Ba-Na-Na Slug! The way you slide through the forest, You know you look so fine. Come on, come on, come on Banana Slug, Let me follow your slime! Ba-Na-Na Slug! And then at the end you must go: Baaa-nana slug, BA NANANANANANA Baaa-nana slug, BA NANANANANANA Baaa-nana slug, BA NANANANANANA YEAH! Enjoy. I am glad to finally be able to share the joy of the Banana Slug Song with someone who appreciates it. 🙂 ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > I bet I’m the only person on this board who likes sausage more than bacon. 😃 I have NEVER understood the love for bacon. It tastes all right, but it’s too little meat per serving. I refuse to buy it in restaurants when I can clog my arteries with far more sausage for the same price. I think I’m the only person hereabouts who loves Valerie Martin and Mary Gaitskill. ---

> [@Lazz](#): > > I bet I’m the only person on this board who likes the smell of a dead chicken while you are gutting/preparing it. > > I bet I’m the only person on this board who prefers to microwave ice cream to a slush before eating it. When I was a kid we used to get chicken from a farmer who came around with a truck full of live chickens. My mother would go out and pick a chicken (though they all looked the same to me). The farmer then killed it and plucked the feathers. My job (and I loved it) was to clean out the insides of the chicken, while it was still warm. I had to save the giblets and eggs for soup, along with the feet. And I always soften ice cream in the microwave. > [@Quimby](#): > > …eats soup straight from the can. That’s my favorite snack or quick meal . . . but it’s gotta be a “condensed” soup . . . really chunky, with no liquid. Lately, I’ve been downing a lot of clam chowder. > [@descamisado](#): > > I’m the only person on this board who likes the smell of his own really musky underarms. I mean, really musky. I love all of my own body odors, and my partner’s too. The muskier the better. * * * So I’m still the only one who likes operettas, right? ---

I’m cheating (thanks to a poll I took in IMHO awhile back), but I’ll bet nobody else loves to be tickled like I do (hey, it’s fun, exhilarating, and a bonding experience too!). I wish my dad could come back from the dead just to tickle me once last time (okay, yes, that doesn’t really sound quite right, but I’ll leave it unedited :p). ---
