As for people who like cabbages, well, what can be said? Do you know what boiling cabbage smells like, Lushsoup? Do you? And you still feel it appropriate to hang out on a perfume board?

Thou hast shamed me and my cabbage likes! I am obviously unfit for the lot of you, anti-cabbage folk. Pungent, putrid and boiled, my swine-swill is preferable to your cheese-infested vegetarian delights.

Insulting cabbage like that. I say, behold the cabbage. Give the cabbage it's due.

Oh? You are referring to hiding your funk in the skunk cabbages that blend perfectly with your natural sillage?

Why, your breakfast drink probably weighs in at three zillion Weight Watcher points!

WHAAAAT? It's "fun"? I'm insulted. You think it feels good to cause a bunching up on the pleasure tool in the front of the boxer shorts? That feels fun to you? I remind you that this is everyone's pleasure tool too. And you propagate this snapping as some amusement part ride for your giggles. Of course this is because I've got so much in the front of the boxers.

DustB, I'm offended that you keep jumping in and stealing my words before I get a chance to post them. How 'bout giving the little guy a chance to speak once in a while? I'm also offended that you assume I'm COMFORTABLE with rebuking people, when I actually wince in pain with every keystroke.

My brother is allergic to it too, and when I was younger I told him what a lucky thing that was--now he could wear a medical alert bracelet and all the chicks would say "look, he's got a medical alert bracelet. He MUST be sensitive..." Well he rightly brushed me off and told me what a sick instinct I had. Take a lesson Mario.

But not all of us CAN cook (sorry for shouting). Some of us suffer from CBGB (Cooking 'Bility Generally Bogus), and are physically unable to cook. I think it's highly insensitive to the CBGB community that you simply assume we are all able to cook. What if I said something like "Mixing drinks and drinking alcohol is a vacation you can have every day."? Well, not everybody can drink alcohol - at least, not safely. Anyway, I'm highly offended by this remark, but I'm trying my best to keep myself under control. I'm willing to overlook it this time, but if I see any more CBGB-phobic or cookist statements, be warned that I'll report them to the moderator lady, DBunny. Piece.

Have you considered allergy sufferers? The nasally impaired? I think, after you wipe your nose, you might consider sensitivity training. Bragging on a forum that involves the use of one's Nose might get you banned, by the way. I, for one, am hurt, and personally offended by your statement.

Old Spice? what are you trying to do ? Just because we like pretentious up-scale European fragrances with French "names" doesn't mean we're elitist. Just face it, you like them as much as us and you probably don't consider a fragrance legitimate unless it has a "pour homme" or "eau des betes sauvages" beside it.

Blowe46, how dare you bring politics into this forum and make me put both my feet and the feet of all my relatives into my mouth? Look what you've done to me as I let my foolish instinct run wild! No wonder politics and religion are against the rules here--think of the anarchy you've caused by tripping a moderator into your net!

This statement is inappropriate and needs to be moderated. How do you think she'd feel about you telling thousands of people that "she was great?" Not very gentlemanly of you. And do we have to hear about ALL of your exploits? The girls, the mattresses, the abundance of room you need in your damn boxers for the "pleasure tool?" Maybe you're called "bunny" for another reason? This thread is called "Corrupt a Statement", not "corrupt the mind of bossanova_boy"!

I find this post a little unsettling. Almost as unsettling as watching Pierce Brosnan hit the high notes! I mean, everyone KNOWS Mr Brosnan sucked in the film, and I feel your sarcastic remarks only add insult to injury! I mean GIVE THE MAN A BREAK! He cant help being typecast as a suave 007 type, and then fall from grace straining his vocals in a musical!! Perhaps Bossanova_Boy can be taken aside and chided for his inappropriate remarks!?

First, what that sentence needs is an apostrophe. But lets get the heart of the matter.

Need? NEED? Apparently, you don't know the meaning of the word need. There are millions of people in the world who would kill to be in a situation in which their computer NEEDED a new hard drive. You want to know the meaning of the word need? Talk to a group of anosmic children in Belgium. They NEED gene therapy to give them the scent receptors necessary to enjoy their Channels - which are currently going to waste, mind you. Check out the halfway house in Halifax which gives support to those who suffer from chronic fussiness. Try listening to their horror stories of how they have been outcast from society. What they NEED is a miracle drug to help them overcome their fussy tendencies (and don't you DARE say that fussiness is a choice - they didn't choose to live this way and all the current research backs them up).

But no, your sister's computer NEEDS a new hard drive. Fine - let me just pack it in some caviar and wrap it in gold foil and express ship it right to you. Oh, and just because I'm such a nice guy, I'll include a clue for you - for free!

We were suppose to guess this? I'm actually kind of hurt that you didn't remind us the day BEFORE so we could have gotten you some and offer proper well-wishes. Are we to be mind-readers? Obviously, you are implying we are stupid, selfish, and oblivious. I am offended by the implication. Yes, of course, we would all wish you a very happy day, but that is not the point. The point is you are rubbing our noses in the lack of attention you received by reminding us the day had passed, and now it is too late to do anything about it. It just plain hurts, and I don't know if anything will take away this pain. Thanks a lot, buddy.

I appreciate the advice, but I think that application of fragrances really does vary, depending upon both the individual and the scent. For example, applying Knize Ten head-to-toe would probably be a bit much in my case. In fact, I have to admit, I rarely apply any fragrance "full-length", as you call it, and certainly not to the level of wetness that could be described as a "coat". Now, to be fair, there are some categories of scent (I'm thinking light, fresh, woods - and perhaps some aquas) that are so ephemeral that a full-length coat might be appropriate. However, a leather really doesn't seem appropriate for full coverage of the skin.

Now if, on the other hand, you are trying to imply that I stink - well, then I would be highly offended. But I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt on this one. OK? Ha-ha - just kidding. If you were really trying to insult me, you would have said I need a full-length coat of Febreeze, or maybe Kouros. LOL! If that was the case, I would have to stalk you on the internet, and buy a voodoo doll, and all that stuff. Just like I did to the last person who offended me. But that was on another perfume board, before they banned me. Those idiots. I hope they burn in.... Oh, well, Gotta run.

Yes, Dimitri, the H is very practical for that city's name, you certainly are correct about that. Nothing ideological or pretentious at all, that's right, no one's going to tease you for using it this time. Very utilitarian. We can tell you're a really laid-back and down to earth kinda guy.

Of course they banned you, what do you expect when you can't abide by a few simple rules? Where, Oh where is YOUR statement, huh?

This is a deliberate attempt to hijack this thread by turning it into a discussion of voodoo dolls.
Once again, not playing by the rules! There was supposed to be no mention of religion, remember?
But no! YOU are above the rules, aren't you?

I am going to report this to Grant immediately. If he does not take action I will not only leave at once but E-mail Luca Turin, Ebay, The Santeria Anti Defamation League, and all the attorneys I have on retainer.

I am frankly disgusted at your patronizing statements: " I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt."
Well, don't give me the benefit of the doubt! I haven't asked for it and, since you obviously haven't noticed, neither has anyone else.
That alone makes me want to puke!

Robot intolerance, in this day and age. Redneck Perfumisto, must you stoop so low as to resort to slurs against robots? What's so hard about living with robots? I bet you never even tried to live with a robot. Your arrogance knows no bounds. How thoroughly disgusting.

Time to face up to it tdem. You should be deeply embarrassed and highly humiliated that due to foreseeable circumstances over which you obviously have control the simplistic exposition of the inner workings of your chronometer are in possible disaccord with the sidereal movements by which time is commonly reckoned. Would you leave it to those of us with properly working timepieces to announce the vagaries of time division? Thank you.

Listen, I don't think you've quite taken into account the African mud houses in Somalia whilst making this irresponsible sweeping generalisation!
Many of those do not have ANY windows whatsoever, due to climatic and financial hardship...and yet here you are PRESUMING that the owners of said houses are SUSPECT! And what do you know about the Somalis??? NOTHING!
Honestly, until you walk a mile in someone else's shoes, I think you best keep your offensive and naive remarks to yourself!

Oh sure I agree with you. Fantastic, pure genius, nice colors and looks really good when The National Security Agency is tearing my hard drive a new one. But in the immortal words of Groucho Marx: I don't trust any organization that would have me as a member.

Are you implying they are the same person?! AH! HOW DARE YOU! How can you slander one of The Greatest singers and songwriter of the last century?! You should be ashamed.

And who is this McCartney anyway?

kbe, I'm dismayed that you would impose a hyper-hygienic, ultra-sterile, must-smell-shower-fresh-at-all-times attitude in a place where everything fragrant is embraced, from rare, expensive oils to Josephine's historic funk to moose poop incense. There are some here who prefer to smell human, complemented with perfume, rather than being completely masked with applied scent. In addition, it's a known fact that EVERY Basenoter smells divine, so your comment seems to be a personal attack and as such will be reported.

Quit your whining, you'ld probably say 6 is too little and 8 is to much, it's an inconvenience for me to respond to this trivial BS. I don't like this thread anyhow, I like to be offensive when you don't know it's coming

And all I can think about is how you ought to be banned for such a galling statement. So who made YOU boss of deciding what's "much", hm?? It may not be OBVIOUS to you, but the rest of us are perfectly capable of thinking for OURSELVES, thank you very much. Shame on you!

I find this remark more than a little upsetting! Everyone knows "Magenta" is in fact a character playing a supporting role in the "Rocky Horror Picture Show". I think your blatant disregard for 70s pop culture suggests to me that you have a complete and utter disdain for all things made in the 70s - myself included! One of the forum rules stipulates that personal attacks on members will not be tolerated, and I shall thus be forced to call a moderator to deal with you accordingly!

Is this your idea of humor or a pseudo-obcurantist pop tagline?
I am appalled by how low this thread has sunk! Absolutely puerile.
Silly allusions to The Beatles and Carly Simon, which no one was even smart enough to pick up on.
I am surprised none of you geniuses added: " I am the Walrus" or " Nobody Does it Better "
Hey, here's something really witty: How about saying G&R for Guns and Roses!
WOW, wouldn't that be hilarious and brilliant huh? That'll have us rolling in the aisles!
You people have obviously atrophied your cerebral cortex by asking others to choose your SOTD for you one time too many. I am more embarassed by you than than offended by you!
OMG! Can't you come up with anything original?

Mario Justiniani, it offends me no end to see you angling for special consideration or immunity of some sort! As a fellow southpaw I have NEVER played the left-handed card in my life, and I am outraged that YOU had to go there!! Offensive!!!

Puh-leez! Let's not start another Aretha Franklin thread! No more of this Creed-like "OMG, there is only one Queen of Soul! There can be no other!" I think such threads should be moved to the "Just Starting Out In The Music Industry In Antarctica" section. After all - if you're not at least sampling other Queens of Soul, you simply aren't going to get very far in soul music appreciation. Really. Even Spin Magazine has crowned a new Queen of Soul. Sure, she's niche, but all the really good ones are. None of those pre-fab, commercialized, designer, teenage-diva, Prom Queens of Soul for me, thank you very kindly. Grant? Please do something!!!

I simply can't believe that this thread has deteriorated into an advertisement for glue. I don't care how macho-looking the guy on the label might be.
