Do As The Romans
by Daine on Sep.12, 2005, under Life, Tidbits
Ever wondered why people everywhere don’t long to use deodorant? I was with some international students last Friday from the U of Texas, and I know how hard it is to get into the University so I applaud them for their efforts, But for the love of God people when in Rome do as the Romans, and when in Texas do as most of us transplanted here and wear some anti personal bodily odor stuff please. The prettiest Brazilian girl or the most handsome Czechoslovakian man can totally ruin their image buy smelling like an onion. It ruins the whole thing.
Was this part of the curse of sin, or am I wrong, should I do away with Mitchum?

mitchum is good. And I have to drive 73 miles one way to school. It’s icky. This school is so conservative too. I can hardly stand it. It’s weird being the liberal one, let me tell you.

Joel told me that B.O. was considered to be very sensual during Renaissance times (that was after I told him that B.O. was probably early man’s most effective -although passive- defense against predators like saber-toothed cats). It was almost like he was trying to top me in extolling it’s virtues. I also thought I might let myself go while on my hike to repel wild animals, but didn’t smell anything until I had taken off my ultra wicking long-sleeved thermal off after finishing the trip, and let it set for a couple of days, and then the whole thing smelled some. You really do sweat different up there though, I’m positive b/c I can always smell myself if I’m starting to smell, pretty sure anyway.

I’m all in favor of deodorant. Anti-stink.. all the way.
ryc: and, friend, I’ve gotta say, I really have no idea what “The dugs are our friends and the nijas are too” means.. I was thinking back to my other posts and there was one involving ninjas.. anything to do with that?

It’s true. In the Renaissance the laidies of the knights would peel an apple, inebriate it with their B.O. by various means, and give it to the objects of their pursuit to remind them of the amenities which a relationship with them would procure the knight. Very tempting I must say. I am in favor of revitalizing this practice with the caveat that we must update the expendable apple with a related apple quality product like an Ipod. It would doubtless be a lucrative endeavor.

I totally know what you are saying. Right now I smell everything, strong or not. Last night I sat by a lady at a meeting I dont’ think it was bad breath I was smelling but every time she breathed I wanted to turn the other way. I think she is smelling of all the medication she takes. Sad. RYC: Yes, I am an aunt two times. Mandy has a girl, Avery Reagan who is two in two weeks and Aiden Carter who is just 3 months. They are close in age so Mandy is going nuts! She is a good mom though. They are a blast. Now I know why your family was going insane when Awnna was born. It’s your turn next!

ryc: HAHAHAHAHA! Buddy, you’ve stumped me.. I’ve still got no clue what you’re talking about..”Sorry Sis, to the guy walking by the chick that’s “suspended” looks like she is on the Jesus Juice, and what better guy to walk buy than that Ninja fellow from last week. He is tricky and not bad looking if he keeps his mask on but then again your “suspended” doesn’t make a hell of a lot of difference does it” ??? Wanna shed some light ont his for me? What guy and who’s “suspended”? Are you quoting *me*?
Ooooor.. are you *trying* to confuse me? haha, if so, consider your endeavor a success
