Was just getting ready to highlight that phrase in a reply, to ask if I may use that in conversation. Still laughing.

Sure, knock yerself out. Spread the word, tell it on the mountain, spray it in the faces of unsuspecting mall dwellers, like a sample of Axe:Black Flag (not only makes a fella smell good, but kills lice, fleas, and ticks!).

I like that stuff the priest throws around at the Ukranian Catholic church. He swings some incense brass ball around and I once got a drop on my upper lip and enjoyed the smell all day. If I knew what that scent was I'd probably start wearing men's perfumes and oils and other fancy stuff I heard of.
I call those smokin' balls they swing, the nunchucks of the Catholic world.

Nah, Neeser, best line I wrote in that last mess was flea dipped in a vat of tropical insecticide.

Rather fond of that one.
Yes that was good

Not critiquing your writing - just stating how much we cover up our own 'natural' scents these days (I don't have to take public transit much so maybe it is a blessing) There is clean and then there is way too clean [like almost afraid to get dirty]

I used to get high from the smell as a child - they told us we couldn't eat breakfast or something before getting 'the host'

(maybe I am wrong)

I just recall it being like a big theatrical production - the Latin chanting, procession of altar boys in gowns, uplifting organ music and then they assault your senses with that overpowering incense smell coming out of the swinging ball

just gimme that old time religion

I take the bus downtown every day and usually the unwashed masses (myself included) are usually washed. Every so often there is an underlying wafting stench of something really bad going on "down there" from somebody. I usually grin and bear it and assume the odour is related to an emergency that is no longer an emergency, a medical issue, or, lack of access to facilities (the saddest cause).

Chrism, y'all - babies foreheads after baptism. And incense - there's a few to pick from. We don't have a Latin Mass, so we only use the smokin' balls for Holy Days and funerals, but I love them. I try to get some on me when it goes 'round. Catholic Churches smell divine.

Teenage girls - oh they give me a headache. Body wash, scented shampoos, deodorant, lotion, spritz, hair stuff. Put three teenage girls in my car and I'm dying. I'd prefer dog slobber.


I don't wear perfume. I use scented epsom salts in my bath before work. My favorite is Ginger. You have to be thisclose to me to smell it.
