2000-02-09 13:15:43 Okay this is some wierd stuff that Mary Chen is talking about. Because listen, I know what she's talking about. Well, not exactly about how it smells on the red line, because, living in boston, I ride the red line all the damn time, and it smells like ass if it smells like anything. Well, I'm operating under the assumption that cookies baking is a happy good smell. maybe for some people it ain't. I think it is though, and there's nothing in my memory banks about pleasant smells on the T. on the orange line maybe , but red line? not so much. BUT my point is that I have smelt the same thing on Peter Pan Buses (busses? Buses, I think. they both look wrong now.). TOTALLY. I used to ride the bus between boston and hartford all the time. and each time, we'd be somewhere on the mass pike and i'd start smelling baked goods. to me in particular I thought it smelled kinda like cinnamon donuts, but really it was kind of a general sweet bakey smell. but actually it was too sickly to be really pleasant. you know like how your stomach churns whenever you smell a dunkin donuts establishment. But anyways, the first few times I rode the bus I didn't catch on, I'd just be like "WHO keeps bringing donuts on the bus? Whassupwidat!" but then when I saw that it happened every time I figured that they must pipe the smell in somehow. to drown out the booze or vomit or general poopiness of riding a bus, particularly in the back, if you know what I'm saying. So there must be a company that makes this stuff, right? We need to band together people, and find out more about this. We have a vast information source right at our fingertips here, so let's use it. the PHONEBOOK. and also the internet. it's like a thing that has to be figured out. When I was in the high school we had this thing in our basement that was like an orange room-scenting spray. like it was way high-powered and smelled so much like really strong oranges. but it had some way late-night infomercial faux high-tek name like X-40! or something. i think that was it. I don't know. anyway it struck me then how much like actual oranges it smelled like. so maybe the self-same company has distilled essence of cookies and donuts into a spray bottle or something. kinda interesting, kinda gross. k thank you very much & credits music: |
