#1 "What is bad odor?"

I'll take Odors for $100, Alex.

What does it take to drive every other living creature out of the building?

#4 Hey - I lived in Thailand for almost a year (1 year ago, in fact) and visited more than a dozen times before that - I know durian. Holy shit! You know if anyone in the entire hotel has breached the No Durian! rule! They have cards with a picture and the rule in 4 or 5 languages all over the hotels, lol! Evil shit!

#5 I may be alone on this, but I think that's a good rule. The homeless do hang out in libraries but, man, they STINK. Their smell can clear an entire area. And you don't want somebody with that strong of a pee stench sitting in the upholstered chairs.

It seems ok to me to demand that they clean up to an acceptable degree before they go in.

#6 What does it take to drive every other living creature out of the building?

A skunk.

#7 .com, my little brother said the same thing when he went to Malaysia. One of his drivers had one in the trunk of the car....he thought something died horribly in there before he found out what it was.

Makes you wonder just how hungry the first poor bastard who ate that crap was when he bit into it.

I bet you'll love this site, then, .com.

#9 "Won't that descriminate against bums the homeless?"

That was kinda the idea. I think this is mostly about the San Luis Obispo city library, which is in the center of town across from city hall and the county gov't center. The "homeless" have been an "issue" there for some time. It's a little better now, since they moved the Day Center (i.e.: soup kitchen) out of the historic San Luis Obispo Mission (a huge tourist attraction)(the Mission, not the soup kitchen).

"What is bad odor?" Macias asked. "A woman who wears a strong perfume? A person who had a garlicky meal?"

No Irene, it's some lice-infested character with a literal c**p-load in his drawers.

#10 One day a sergeant was telling me of his post WWII experiences administering the Marshall Plan in China. After a time, his Chinese driver, deciding to speak frankly, said, "Sarge you're pretty good 'Joe', but you drink cow's milk and it makes you stink like shit." Oh well, one person's rose is an other man's corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum).

#11 Does anyone remember?

The unibomber was identified by his smell in libraries.

#15 I like the smell of durian. The first time I tried it, I thought it was the most disgusting thing I have ever tried to eat. The second time I tried it, I started to see what all the fuss was about (Asians love durian). Thats when I realized it was additive.

#17 Worse than garlic, worse than durian its carbon diselenide. Or even tellurium breath.

#18 DB - The site is rather bizarre, lol! If I didn't know better, I'd say there is a sexual thingy going on there - complete with centerfold. *shiver*
