smells that should not be

[Bob]

i was driving in my car today, and i smelled bacon. at first i thought, "awesome, bacon!" but then i realized, i'm on the highway, no bacon trucks nearby, i'm alone, there's no bacon factories anywhere in the area...bacon is probably the last thing i should be smelling. and yet, there it is.

then the other day, i smelled burnt toast, again, on the highway, alone, not near any toast factories...yet there it was.

i just don't know

I smelled watermellon at work the other night. Weird.

...supposedly, many people smell oranges out of nowhere just before having a psychic experience. Coppola later used that as a motif in The Godfather, except people saw oranges instead of smelled them and had violent experiences instead of psychic ones. But they should've foreseen the violence, since the oranges were a harbinger, so it's kind of ironic.

Isn't it a sign of a brain tumor or something bad as well? Not oranges but the whole phantom smell thing?

[jabumbo]

toast factories...

its so not in season.
I know! And I was no where near the watermellon factory either.

that just gave me the greatest visual. they squeeze bottles of watermelon-scented Bath and Body Works body spray into green tupperware containers and BERRM a beam comes down and FERT a mold squishes it into a melon shape and then pygmies paint stripes on them.

My friend sometimes smells a rotten egg smell before he has a seizure. Ker-razy.

That's your tummy telling you not to skip breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day, you know.



geez, cmute -- you're on 1015 posts already!?

You just farted on me minutes ago!

[kleptomaniac]

geez bob, why does everything smell like food to you? been skipping too many meals?

hey, does your hair still smell like mayonnaise? :confused:


ps: you should try putting all those weird smells together....bacon + toast + mayo = bacon sandwich (y)

eat one! (!)

yeah wow weird... after school today i was walking home, right fromt he point i walked out the school doors it smelled like a stable filled with shit from horses... it lead all the way to my house, i checked my shoes and nothing (most other people smelled it too). I just wonder how far it went (n)

Well did you check for any shit factories? When I was in class I got a big wiff of ranch dressing, and I sniffed around to see if I could smell it again. I was like what the fuck? People thought I was a spaz. And no, there is no ranch dressing factories around where I live.

this happens to me from time to time.

maybe people will suddenly smell something because they want it and their mind produces something that makes you smell it briefly, like a subconcious urge.

a lot of times I smell sulfur or bad eggs... hmmmm.... must mean the devil's around me... that sucks... at least it's not on a regular basis :o

i'd hate to constantly smell bad milk or good cheese... or decomposing blood

[avignon]

I'm going to open an olfactory factory.

sometimes it smells a bit like brownies or pasta in my neighbourhood.. i heard there was a chocolat factory in a city near amsterdam.. so probably it's from there.. or some one loooooves to make brownies :p

I haven't noticed any smells I shouldn't be smelling per se, but definitely since I've been pregnant, my sense of smell is ENORMOUSLY more sensitive, and sometimes I have really strange emotional reactions to certain smells.

For example, a few weeks ago I was in a shop or something and a woman walked by and her perfume or shampoo or wahtever she'd used smelled like orange blossom. And I really love the smell of orange blossom, and I nearly cried. I mean, my eyes welled up and I had to get out a tissue to catch a few tears. Not like a sad crying, I had this really strong surge of feeling, I can't even really identify what feeling it was, it was just intense. Not unpleasant though.

Another time, right around when I first knew I was pregnant, I was on the tube kind of late in the evening, so the train carriage was mostly empty. I was sitting down one end and a few stops along, this woman got on - a normal looking, maybe middle-aged black lady - and sat down the other end. First I noticed this (what struck me as) really strong fried food smell and I saw she had a KFC bag with her. And I don't know why, but I was just enraged. Absolutley apoplectic. I wanted to go over there and beat her with that damn bag. I can't for the life of me explain it, it was just like this spell had came over me. Of course I did not do anything, and at the same time, I could kind of be outside of it and see what was going on and laugh at myself. Like here's this poor woman, minding her own business, maybe had a long day at work and just wants to go home and have herself some chicken, and now there's this psycho bitch who wants to cram the bag down her throat, for no reason. What's that about?

[avignon]

Sometimes I go in the Home Depot just to smell it. It's like fresh cut lumber and oil. Heaven.

My car radiator leaks Antifreeze when I'm driving.

The antifreeze smells like Aunt Jemima syrup when it burns.
