| March 16, 2004 Top 10 smells 10. Fireworks 9. Seafood seasoning 8. Heated asphalt 7. Sweet rolls (and other baked goods) 6. Gasoline 5. Tanning oil 4. Surf wax 3. Vanilla extract 2. Girl’s hair 1. Girl’s in general 10. Fireworks -Have I done this list before? I don’t know. Either way, I’m too lazy to search so I’ll just write. Fireworks are great! Not only do they provide you with audio and visual delight, the after smell of the smoke and embers enlightens one’s sense’s and brings them back to a time of barbeques, neighborhood cook-outs, and July 4th celebrations. Light off a bottle rocket and you’ll see. The fireworks smell rules! 9. Seafood seasoning -You know, like that Old Bay Seafood Seasoning, oh I love that stuff! Some people don’t know what I’m talking about here so click this link to see what I mean. Anyways, it’s that red powder stuff they sprinkle on crabs and shrimp and stuff. You can smell it a mile away and it always is a harbinger to an ocean delicatessen. I personally love seafood, so any smell associated with it just wets my culinary appetite. Heck, I put it on other non-seafood meats and stuff just so I can be reminded of seafood! It’s basically a spice, so theoretically you could use it on any food, but I prefer seafood. 8. Heated asphalt -Heated asphalt?! Keith are you on crack??? No, not exactly, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night..... Ok, that joke failed, but let’s talk about asphalt, heated asphalt. I think the reason I like this smell so much is that it’s a two part harmony. Part of it is pleasing to my masculine senses and part of it reminds me of a wondrous place, the beach. There is nothing like going to beach and getting out of the car in a asphalt parking lot on a warm sunny day. Ah, the salt air, the heated asphalt, the sandy walks, the boardwalk fries, the salt water taffy store, the funnel cakes, the oily rides.....ah, pure location bliss. 7. Sweet rolls (and other baked goods) -Come on, no “Top 10 smells” list would be complete without some sweet rolls, preferably cinnamon ones :) Ya gotta love sweet rolls! So what if they’re packed with calories and other killer ingredients, they taste like 10 billion bucks and go down so yummy. Baked goods like that in general are so nice, so nice indeed...brownies, rice crispy treats, cookies (mmmmm, raw cookie dough....mmmm), cake, muffins.....mmmmmm. 6. Gasoline -This is probably my most polarized choice on the Top 10 list. I don’t know whether it’s cause I’m a guy into cars or what, but I love the smell of gasoline. And by polarized I mean that most people either hate or love (or don’t mind) the smell of gasoline. I just love smelling the raw liquid that makes the power of internal combustion possible! It makes me think of cars, going fast, and cruisin down the highway with the top down and the music on mucho loud. I’m not into smelling oil, but gasoline ranks #6 on my list. 5. Tanning oil -Ok, this may be another “beach” related smell, but you know you love the smell of tanning oil also, even if you’re not a beach bum. It just smells so tropical and yummy. Sure, you may get skin cancer cause its SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is like in the negatives, but it definitely gives your body that “oily” sexy look and you’re sure to get a nice tan! Tannin oil also reminds me of those old summers at the beach and rummaging through my mom’s big beach bag for toys and towels. There’d always be a couple bottles of tanning oil and tanning lotion to make the smells wonderfully beachy :) 4. Surf wax -What can I say? I love the beach! Surf wax is definitely the penultimate “beach” smell though. No, Sex Wax is not a sexual product, and no you can’t eat Bubble Gum Wax, but I love to smell it to no end. Reminding me also of the beach, sand, and waves, surf wax brings about a chill and ebb-like demeanor. I keep a bar of Mr. Zoggs above my computer monitor all the time so when I’m sitting there in my boring room, in front of my boring computer, stuck in my boring town, I can grab it, smell, and think of another place I’d rather be. 3. Vanilla extract -Vanilla extract??! Keith, you really are on drugs. Well no still, but I do love to sniff vanilla extract! Gee whiz that stuff, it comes in that small cylindrical bottle, smells good. Every time my mom would make some cookies and she’d add vanilla extract I’d ask if I could drink it and she’d tell me that’d prolly kill me. How could something so delicious smelling be bad?! I don’t know and I really don’t have an idea of what exactly vanilla extract is, but I do love to smell it. 2. Girls’ hair -Can’t explain it, but girls hair always, yes always (at least to me), smells good. Now sure, some girl’s hair smells even better than others, but they all usually can be considered at least pleasant. I don’t know whether it’s the shampoo they use, the brushes they choose, or the split ends they lose, I love to smell girls’ hair. If you catch me smelling your hair it’s not because I’m a killer stalker, it’s because I love your hair and I love the smell of it. In fact, the aroma of a good smelling mane on a girl is so alluring, she can just walk past me even a few feet away and that scent catches my nose that I have to turn my head like I’m smelling a pie like in those cartoons. It’s that powerful. Gee, I love to smell girls’ hair. Am I weird? 1. Girls in general -Ah, what can I say? Girls just are so attractive that they, and their hair, occupy my two tops spots in things that smell nice. To me it’s some sort of paranormal happenstance, but girls just always smell so good. I can’t explain it. And a girl that’s all prettied up, perfume and all....gee just stick a fork in me because my olfactory senses will have hit overload. The sweet aroma of a girl is thee best thing to experience, at least as a man. Just being within a few feet tips me off, but to actually like hug and embrace a girl??? It’s perfumatory bliss! Oh man, girls smell sooooo good. So savory, so pleasing, so delectable, so scrumptious, so sapid, so sweet, so piquant, so aromatic, so luscious, so wholesome, so......nice. Girls = yummy. |
