> [@Giant\_Spongess](#): > > You actually _use_ Axe?! :eek: I’d like to use an axe … Seriously, stink pretty had outlived it’s usefulness once soap and hot water had been invented, which, as far as I know, has been a while now. A slight touch (a drop or two) of cologne is one thing, but those who assault us with it by the cc should be forced to remain in the outdoor smoking areas. ---

> [@NinjaChick](#): > > I personally am digging the “deodorize poop itself!” one. Dammit, I actually enjoy the smell of freshly manured fields. Which was a good thing when I lived next to a field that got that treatment three times a year. Now I get to leave it behind. But what bothers me is talking about “poop.” Why can’t they talk about feces? Waste? Excreta? Crap? Hell, this is the Pit, why not simply let it all hang out and talk about shit? > [@](#): > > And I refuse to condone the use of the phrase “stink pretty”. That’s just fucking stupid. First, it’s a hyphenated word, not a phrase. 😉 Second, when you’re enjoying talk about poop, I don’t think you can point too many fingers at other childish euphemisms. ---

Ugh. A woman walked into the math lab last semester when I was in there. I don’t know what she was wearing, but it was FIRE PAIN SNEEZE CRY pretty bad. My eyes teared OW IT BURNS up within seconds and my nose starts to GUSH DID I ACTUALLY HAVE THAT MUCH SNOT IN THERE leak a bit. Meanwhile, my throat is starting to OH NO I CAN’T BREATH DO THESE WINDOWS OPEN NO THEY DON’T get a bit tight. “Can I AAACHOO help AAACHOO you?” “Yeah, just need a bit of help on this word problem here.” “Well, I’d be glad AACHOO to help, just let me AACHOO get something wet to AACHOO wipe my eyes with so I AAACHOO can read the AACHOO book.” “Oh, do you think it’s my perfume?” I tried to manage a dumbfounded stare, but it’s pretty hard when you’re MY LEFT EYE JUST FUSED SHUT distracted by allergies. I tried to help her with the problem for the next two minutes OF AGONY, but it just wasn’t meant to be. I don’t recall seeing her in the math lab since. It’s my fervent hope that she was embarrassed into wearing less next time, but she probably just changed brands and put it on every bit as thick. Ugh, my eyes are watering just from remembering this. ---

I’m so grateful I have no sense of smell. People tend to say “oh, that’s awful!” when I tell them that, but think of all the nasty stuff I miss out on! Stink-pretty. Heh! 🙂 ---

I’m really confused by this ad: > [@](#): > > [UrineOff.com](http://UrineOff.com) End Odor Now > End the stigma of urine odor. Rid urine odor & stain from any surface Ummm…so, do you use it _after_ you piss somewhere to remove the odor (and/or stain,) or is it taken internally? And if so, does it also make it easier to clean the urine, or do you still put it directly on it? I’m not to keen on ingesting something that is also a cleaner. ---

Hmmm. I take back all my complaints re the ads. Who knew they would be such a source of humor? Bring 'em on, I say! As to stink pretty–that phrase sums it up. The worst is when they use the cologne to cover up the smell of sweat. Then you have perfume with the under notes of locker room stench. Blech. I loathe bathroom air fresheners–and yes, I would rather smell shit than “pine” fresh/“lemon”/“cinnamon snow” air freshener. Gag. ---

As a smoker, I’d just like to say: Fuck off. We don’t need no stinkin’ stinkers. Although it would be pretty amusing to see one of these marinated chemical dumps go up in flames.
