Between this story and the Monkey-poo spill the other day, I think Milwaukee is vying for the much-sought-after title of Smelliest City in the U. S. A.
quote from today’s story: “The smell was just unbelievable,” said William Mitchell, a state conservation warden who found about 70 ducks cramped in a basement pen with droppings covering the floor. “It was really stinking. … It made my eyes water.”
quote from the monkey-poo story:
“I think it’s comparable to any sort of sewage,” zoo spokeswoman Jennifer Diliberti said. “One of the zookeepers said from a scale of one to 10, the smell’s a nine.”
When I was a kid, the first two things I learned about Milwaukee were that it was made famous by a beer, and that its composted sewage was sold as Milorganite (Milwaukee Organic Nitrogen.) So, you see, the smelly basement story is not a new thing. I’m sure Milwaukee has more pleasant things to say for itself, and I’ve heard it’s a lovely place. I’d like to back out of this without stepping on myself. Miwaukee has the Brewers baseball team, and, uh, the Sausage Race, and…oh, look at the time! Hey, it’s been nice talking to you. Okaybye.
Welcome to my life. :rolleyes:
The agreed-upon rule at The Beeskep Ranch is NO ANIMALS IN THE HOUSE!!* We built a small addition on to the back of the house that is completely isolated from “human living areas” and the rule does not apply to that room, and boy howdy does it REEK back there!
The wife has a couple Wallaby joeys (Joe Strummer and Joey Ramone), a box of quail, freakin’ TURKEY chicks (these smell extremely foul- pun intended) and who knows what else! If the door is opened, the stench knocks you off yer feet! And thats even when she dilligently cleans it every day! I can only imagine what a monitor lizard might add to the mix! 
*Except Jew-Jew the parakeet and maybe a beta fish in a vase. Thier bodily odors are pretty non-existant and they’re pretty to look at.
