I’ll be honest. I am also a fan of far-away skunk.

I like the smell of a little cigarette smoke. I’ve never smoked, I just like the smell in small doses.

I smoke cigars. Not the cheap aromatic drugstore kind, but the imported, hand-rolled varieties.

Big truck, NRA hat, gun rack… and a little Chihuahua in the cab with me. Named Mitzi.

Pickled herring.  
Hairy chests on men.  
Bag pipes - there is a fire station right down the street and one of the firemen use to stand out front every once in a while and play a couple of songs on the bag pipes. It was so nice.

So which of these deadly weapons do you favor if you run into some bad guys ? 😃

My bet is Mitzi, but I gotta see a picture to confirm this.

Yes. Apart from French toast I barely use ketchup at all. I’ll put it on burgers, and yes (God forbid) hot dogs. But it’s perfect for French toast. I typically don’t like sweet, syrupy stuff for breakfast.

This is weird to say of a movie with the highest domestic gross, but I really like Avatar. It seems to have caught a lot of flak in the years since. There was even an article, I think it was on Slate or Yahoo, that talks about how odd it was that it didn’t make much of a pop culture impression. It doesn’t get quoted, people don’t replay scenes of it, it just seemed to have come and gone

The _Star Wars_ prequels. (I even thought Jar Jar, annoying as he was, was kinda cute)

Me too. The thundering and lightning kind is my second favorite rainy day. The first is when the sky is covered 50-75% by clouds so the sun can peek through now and again.

One of my favorite smells is rainy/wet sidewalk on a sunny warm day.

I love making blue cheese omelettes. Blue cheese, black pepper and tomatoes is heavenly.

Also good is blue cheese and chedder grilled cheese sandwiches. It’s a bit tricky as the blue cheese melts fast but sooooo good.
