Fascinating program on NPR’s ”Studio 360” on the sense of scents. My wife favors Herrera 212. What are some of your thoughts about odors and perfumes?
Is there such a thing as a conservative aesthetic? Programs like this remind me of how far conservative media still has to go.
I’m a big fan of beers. Pilsner Urquell, for example, is quintessentially what a pilsner should be, and has as much complexity as a good cabernet. I love smoked porters and stouts. Anything robust enough to be imbibed warm if need be. I love a good single malt now and again.
What are you aesthetically passionate about?
Hey, what is this? Are you going to start asking us what kind of tree we would be?
The smell of hot french fries in a brown paper sack.
Ginko.
F’in’ A, McGehee. I said I liked beer.
Olive.
Warm encaustic paint which is made with pure beeswax.
The fugitive scent of a log fire under a canopy of glittering stars and a cold October moon.
The top of a baby’s head.
I visited Prague a couple years ago and fell in love with Pilsner Urquell. It was only served from tap and great care was taken in its draught. I was really disappointed to taste it from the bottle back here in the US.
I recently moved to North Texas and I’ve found it on tap in several places. Woohoo!
Then again, here in Texas they have Shiner Bock. Mmmm.
Newcastle brown ale is the bomb.
Oh, and the smell of napalm in the morning…
I think Glade Plug-Ins are the work of Antichrist.
However, White Diamonds do make me horny.
That is all.
Leather, latex paint, new carpet, burning leaves, frying bacon, and sweetgrass. Can you put those aromas in a bottle?
– The scent of of soft womanly lanvender, from slut-red nail polished fingers, wrapped around bycicle playing cards…..
– Reese’s peanut butter cups….
– Sulfur aromated lecturns….
– Gun oil on blue steel….
– Anything that Vickie Kennedy ever touched…
….Ummmmmm… what was the question again?….
Night blooming jasmine and the smell of the ocean.
Beer: Toohey’s New
Nature: Rainbow after a sudden summer shower, or a light fog on an autumn evening.
Sensation: a hot soaking tub on a cold evening.
Sight: A willowy Japanese lady in a kimono.
Sound: A 40mm grenade launcher. Because I’ve outgrown firecrackers, but I’ll never be old.
Oh yeah, this was about smell….
bacon, fresh cut lawn, top fuelers, roses, and of course the sweat of acomplishment.
Her. She looks exactly like my second wife.
That’s a great site for art, btw.

The smell of the sidewalks when it first starts raining.
Freshly dug country dirt.
Clean Laundry.
Newly ground coffee beans.
My sleeping son’s head sweats [when he was little].
Hmm. ok.
New car odor.
New tire odor.
New print (ink printing) odor.
Freshly ground coffee.
That slightly woodburnt smell in the air that always comes when autumn arrives.

menthol (even maggie the cat lu-u-uvs it)
coffee
dark chocolate
Yay Shiner! I had one last night.
I also like kitty purrs in my ear when they curl up on my head at night. (not every night, but it’s getting cooler here so it’s getting more frequent)
nasal gland of vomer. very impt
Maggie- menthol like Vicks Vap-o-rub?
yeah, MayBee, like that or tiger balm. it’s kinda minty, to me anyway. it’s funny whenever RTO rubs some on his knee and the cat glues her nose to him.
Ards: So you’re admitting you really fucked up big time, eh?
