Ah darn...

They say timing is everything?

Too bad this post wasn't placed up a day before Valentines Day.

Garlic and sesame seed oil (just made some Thai rice noodle soup for a midnight snack).

Don, I hope you're not talking about what I think you're talking about...That smell takes forever to go away!

The other day it was an interesting mix of Formula 409 and Film-Guard. That 409 is definitely a lingering aroma.

OIL ! from wiping the "runny noses" of SIMPLEX XL machines. Dang machines seems to always have a cold or something with that bad NASAL DRIP these machines like to have. (LOL)

Hey, the old carbon arc users here: Remember the odor that carbon arc soot would smell when you're brushing out the lamphouses each day after closing?

My hands currently smell like dark chocolate. One of the ladies in our office filled up the candy jar.

I learned at a very early age to beware of anyone (especially other kids at that time) who say, "oooh, smell my hands!"
[puke]

The sickest smelly hands comment I've heard:
Back in high school, our family had two Basset Hound dogs. They droll. It drips into in their wrinkly necks and dries there. We were out in the front yard with the dogs. This 9 year old girl in the neighborhood comes by and pets the dogs. She pet and massaged one of them on the neck. My dad says, "yeah they really love it when you pet them on the neck, but wash your hands afterward." The girl smelled her hand and said loudly, "eww, it smells like my mommy's panties!"

Yeah. That comment is disturbing. It raises questions. My parents (and my Uncle John who was visiting) were speechless. And the girl's mother was across the street in earshot. Damn!

Goobers

For some odd reason, the campus dining facilities here at Pitt started selling movie candy. The shitty part it, a 3.5 oz box is $2!!! That's nearly theatre prices. I just buy them b/c we have "meal blocks" valued at $5.25. If my total price comes to say $8, I'd rather use two blocks ($10.50) as opposed to one block and spare "dining dollars." The box of Goobers helps me get there. Our dining services are run by Sodexho and they make no sense whatsoever. The whole block/dining dollar idea is bullshit. Confusing and bullshit.

Blue Cheese salad dressing. In fact just about every inch of me smells like it.

When I have a bad day at work I come home smelling like it.

Posted by Jon Miller (Member # 163) on 02-16-2005, 08:25 PM:

Right now, FilmGuard. I got a little of it on my hands while pouring some into a solvent dispenser (to keep on hand for cleaning off splicing tape residue, etc.). Even after washing hands several times, the smell remains.

Potent stuff, that FG! [Smile]

Mr. Faber and his wisdom are onto me... Darn...

BTW, go hawks- probably one of the best top ten schools in the country both for academics and for sports.

Hmmm... me thinks Don and James make a pair...they both need to wash their hands after taking a crap.

Chicken, celery, carrots, potatoes, salt, pepper & poultry seasoning. It's all in a cast iron pot, simmering away right now!

In another 90 minutes or so I'll drain the chicken and bone it. Then I'll thicken the stock with flour and put the chicken & veggies back into the pot. Next, I'll make some While Lilly biscuit dough and drop it right on top of the stew in the pot.

Simmer that on top of the stove for 15 minutes or so then remove the top and brown the top of the biscuit dough in the oven for about 5-7 minutes. (You don't want the dough to cook all the way through. You only want to cook them until they aren't mushy anymore.)

This can all sit in the oven with the lid on the pot until dinner time. When you take the top of and put it on the table you have the yummiest chicken & dumpling stew you ever had!

It's way simple and you could eat yourself silly on it! [Smile]

Randy--

I tried it last night and it was GREAT!

[Cool]

Posted by Dominic Espinosa (Member # 2122) on 02-21-2005, 12:01 PM:

Antibacterial soap.
Later today it'll be grease and motor oil from working on the CRX I just got. After that it'll be Gojo and Dawn dishsoap.
Later tonight, who knows...Whatever I eat for dinner.

Posted by Randy Stankey (Member # 64) on 02-21-2005, 01:38 PM:

Glad you liked it Floyd! [Smile]

I'm somewhat impressed you were able to duplicate it with my scant directions! You must do a fair bit of cooking. I do it on the weekends when/if she's working and I'm not. (Whoever is home first makes dinner.)

Now it's back upstairs to the booth. My hands will smell like FG for the rest of the day.

Currently my hands smell like
Pancakes cause I ate some for Dinner
with my Family tonight. [thumbsup]

My hands smell like the cheap aftershave I wear in order to not smell like ASS. (An open wound in one's hind quarters smells pretty nasty.)

(After cleaning a CD/DVD my hands smell like FG for several hours, makes it very interesting trying to eat.)

Posted by Paul Mayer (Member # 355) on 02-21-2005, 10:31 PM:

How so John? Bruce demonstrated years ago that FG is drinkable. [Big Grin]

Me? My hands now smell like Carvel chocolate vanilla swirl soft serve.

Posted by Phil Hill (Member # 371) on 02-21-2005, 11:12 PM:

OK... I've resisted posting in this stupid thread. But, my hands smell like Crisco...

FU all you smarts asses! I'm making cherries jubilee!

Posted by John Hegel (Member # 628) on 02-22-2005, 12:21 AM:

Oh really

Please explain how you can make a cherry be jubilee using Crisco.

Posted by Phil Hill (Member # 371) on 02-22-2005, 04:49 PM:

Ummmmm, where did I say I was using the Criso in the making of cherries jubilee or to be one?

Memo to self: If you are going to poke fun at anyone at least spell it right.
