Hah! Try having a _vegetarian_ girlfriend who finds it very amusing when she makes “a smelly”. It’s not just guys who have intestinal gas you know. It wouldn’t be so bad except for the shocked outrage I receive when I return the compliment. pan ---

But for some reason, I got bored with the idea. I guess it was evil temptation from the AntiWankel. ---

I’m sure I could use the search engine, but I don’t want to overload it; besides, the in-joke threads and posts might be lost forever. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Michael Ellis \* > \*\*I’m trying to start a new stock response to gibberish.

Hey, I might do that too, if and when the mood strikes. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by kabbes \* > \*\*Hah! Try having a _vegetarian_ girlfriend who finds it very amusing when she makes “a smelly”. It’s not just guys who have intestinal gas you know. I’ve heard of vegeatarians and vegans who have more intestinal gas than other people might have. I remember hearing why that is, but now I forget. Anyone remember? My sister will announce it to everyone when she farts, and laughs about it, too. We can tell when she does the silent variety, as she either flexes her arms or (in the car) opens the window. Oh well, you could say she is being courteous by letting us know…? (and by attempting to let the smell out of the car) ---
