What Smells Bad Today?
1) Goalie Boy. smelled so bad I drove him home from hockey with the windows open despite the chilly temps.
BUT THEN
2) Cat got skunked.
:vomit:
Oh, poor kitteh. Happened to my late friend's dog once. She was ruined for about a month.
If you think you could survive it, you might try washing the cat w/tomahto juice. Might help, some.
cat got washed with tomato twice then shampooed. thanks Beest :) cat was not terribly impressed, but I appreciated it.
(Boy washed himself, allegedly with shower gel and shampoo and everything.....)
cat was not terribly impressed
:D
One of my students who is so ripe I have to stay eight feet away from him. He does not believe in laundering his clothes. Ever.
Hm, I should've waited for this thread to post my experience with the elevator nuclear crypto-farter.

Tell him.
I've just found the "Freaks and Geeks" series on tv from 1999-2000.
One episode was about the kid who is very overweight and has a body odor problem.
Of course it ended with the traditional "Ya'see Timmy..." moment.
But it was a good message, and I enjoyed it.
Tell him.
Oh he's been told. It's his way of insuring people ostracize him so he can say "I told you no one likes me."
Spray him with Febreze at every opportunity to ruin his plan.
fencing gear, take your breath away bad
A woman at pottery. younger, somewhat overweight, mentally ill, smells like pee.
Cat's head still a bit skunky. Hockey player and younger brother competing for the most showers in a day.... if I didn't know better I'd suspect a girl.....
My home. Before we left for the doctor's today, my mom turned off the stove. Turned out she put it on high instead and the entire pot of fish that was braising turned to charcoal and smoke filled the entire apartment from ceiling to carpet, from kitchen to the bedrooms, including the closets. :3_eyes: Now, all I smell is smoke. :greenface Our white walls aren't so white anymore. Sigh.....
Oh Lola that is horrible, I hope you can clean up the mess soon.
ugh. you have my sympathy

I'm happy your apartment didn't burn from the ceiling to the carpet. YIKES!!!
What BigV said--I'm so glad it didn't start a fire!
Oh, Lola, my sympathy. What a miserable thing ... very glad as well that it didn't start a fire!
I think there's a gut pile near my house...
My car :( I bought some carpet shampoo and it leaked everywhere on the way home :( It's so concentrated that the fumes are overpowering when you open the car and it's too cold to leave the windows open (This morning the sliding doors were frozen shut)
Thanks, everyone.

I was thinking the same. Despite the smoke smell, I feel that we are lucky a fire didn't start.
some carpet shampoo
That stuff reeks. My wife shampooed our LR rug a couple weeks ago, which is nice, but the stench lingered for at least a week. And that was at normal usage levels.
I'm sorry about your car.
I'm sorry about everybody's bad smells.
Mom & Popdigr had kraut last night, apparently.
Very apparently.
Today I have a threefer....
The hockey closet, the swim bag and the lizard tank.
None of which would exists without the sprogs...... hm......
An anchovy's butt.
I will have to share that with the mm.
The entire house. beest accidentally cremated a bagel in the microwave last night. late last night. it's unbelievable how bad it smells. tempted to bring in a roadkill skunk just to mask it.... ;)
Stupidly, I put on the jeans I was wearing as I waved a towel underneath the smoke detector to stop it waking the sprogs because my plan for the day was gardening so I figured they'd be fine. Sooooo wrong. I was ready to barf after two school runs, thinking the smell was seared into my nostrils until I worked out it was the jeans. Fortunately I had a pair of shorts in the car and ran into the school and changed into those. despite the temp baing jeans and sweater weather
My dog, Buddy smells like, well a stinking dog.
I'm sending you an envelope of cat breath, that'll make Buddy smell like he's been humped by a French whore.
Fencing jacket stinks to high heaven. Does old person sweat smell worse than young person sweat, cuz I swear my gear never stunk this bad bitd.
The pantry - I think something in the fridge has transmogrified into an alien creature.

Mayhaps since school started, you're aggression-to-be-sweat-out level has had reason to increase. :haha:
The smell doesn't change, but your sensitivity might and how much you care definitely does. The hockey boys seem to take pride in the pong :vomit:
Oh, speaking of Hockey Boy... the
Pucker-Up may be in order. :haha:

Thankful I've no idea what any of you are talking about. :angel:
My mouth. No British teeth jokes please, I think I have an absess. No amount of brushing , flossing or mouth wash seems to help.
And my flat. More than it should I think. All I can smell is raw potato. Last time that happened I passed out . Sober.
I didn't know raw potatoes had an odor.
I've never worked in Army Catering.
I've never even pretended to (except that one time at band camp...) but anyone who's even made a Christmas dinner will tell you they definitely have an odour.
Raw potatoes, not my teeth (usually).
The oppo hockey tem tonight. Probably not any worse than our guys (although they were huge) but their penalty box -which was heavily frequented and for long periods- was on the upwind side of the score box. My side of the box. :vomitblu:
The hockey jersey Hector is currently wearing (belongs to the #2 goalie who is academically ineligible at the moment -3 jerseys, 4 goalies means whoever isn't dressing to play hands over their jersey...) He begged me to launder it and is usually immune to the stench. :vomitblu:
I added a decent quantity of oxyclean.
Rediscovered this thread by accident.... but it's hot here and my office is overly-proximal to the garbage shoot at work. OMFG that smells bad :vomitblu: We have an essential oil humidifier thing returned by a customer we are using to mask it. I fill it with essential oil of hockey player....
Thor's swim bag for Water Polo smells like old hockey gear that someone pissed on then left in a cave for a year. the water is like 50% chlorine, how is this possible?
That's actually pretty disturbing.
My feet are clean. But I seem to have impregnated these shoes with such badness over the Summer (especially during my epic walk home from Harewood House) that they smell not just of sweaty feet, but actually vinegar.
I have no idea why. But I can smell them now. And I think I have to bin them.
Any chance you took those shoes with you on your visit to your parents? Because real vinegar generally kills smelly bacteria, and I can imagine your mom sneaking some in to help while you weren't looking.
You could add baking soda and make a shoe volcano...
Man Cans
sounds like a great idea. I bought 4 cans to give out for christmas. Bacon, Sawdust, Gun Powder and campfire. I figured I'll light the Gun Powder one to see how it smells... I remember unrolling fire crackers to harvest the powder and make 'bombs' in empty shell casings with wax and jet x fuses....(all we ever got were spark fountains) but I remember the smell, and like it.
anyway, this thing smells like a makeup bag. not. even. close.
I hope the other ones are more accurate..... neat concept, should have asked jelly belly to do the smells.
I bought a dozen of his candles a few years ago, and was happy with them. The smells were very close to what I expected. The "gun powder" in fireworks is usually flash powder or black powder, being they're cheaper, so maybe that's why it doesn't match your memory. Does it smell different lit than unlit, or no smell unlit? The ones I got I could smell as soon as the can seal was broken, but they may have changed the process since then he was still making them in his Mom's kitchen.
I hope the others work better for you.

If Mum had done that, she would never have been able to resist telling me about it. But now I know, maybe I should try myself?
I can't imagine it could harm the shoes more than my corrosive feet.
I bought a pair of raaaaaather expensive Diesel trainer/ mules when I lived in London. I think it must have been back when we got bonuses. I wore them all Summer, then had to bin them in Autumn. Because they were backless I couldn't wear them with socks, and my feet just made them dissolve inside. In fact I remember I was wearing them on 11 September, and a girl on the bus was giving me dirty looks. I knew by then they were getting stinky, but all I could think was, "Terrorists are killing people out there, all you have to deal with is my trainers?!"
I think I may have binned them the next day.
My Diesel trainers died on 9/11.
A light spray (or repeated light sprays, if necessary) is going to be better than soaking, they probably won't recover from that. I don't know what the equivalent product would be over there, but here we have things like Lysol. Or the wholesale stuff the bowling alleys use, I bet that's pretty effective.
Dryer sheets are supposed to kill the smell, but probably won't stop the dissolving.:footpyth:
Got up this morning and the house ponged of Indian Curry, made a Chicken Bhuna for dinner last night, now I love Indian food just reeks the house out the next day.
Have had the windows open all day but I'm sure It's still lingering
