My office is near a chocolate factory. It smells like chocolate all time, especially during the winter. And then it smells like hot chocolate.
Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Art Crawl!!!
When you take the commuter train into Chicago you can smell chocolate from the Blum (?) chocolate factory. Or you could.. . I don't now if it's around anymore.

If I only had a brain...
Pig shit is MUCh worse than cow shit.

There were many mushroom farms in the general vicinity where I grew up in Del. Not so many now. Anyway, the mushrooms are grown in sterilized manure, so...
They also attract these teeny, tiny little mushroom flies (that fly far afield of the actual mushrooms, unfortunately) that fit through the holes in window and door screens. They have a vaguely licorice smell when swatted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. Except our neighbors used to liquify their cow manure and spray it over their fields with a shit cannon. (Although I don't think it was called a shit cannon.) That really amplified the smell....

In North Carolina, there are giant factory farms raising pigs, with their accompanying giant pig-shit lagoons. Ugh.

My grandfather raised pigs, but it was a small family farm, not a factory. The pig shit was at a normal level. The birthing barn didn't smell so good, but it wasn't horrible, either.

Ooh, I was not aware of the pig-shit lagoons.
How do chicken farms rank on the shit-smell-o-meter?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Wow, and I thought the funk coming off the Abbott Labs plant near here was bad. Though it's never fun when the wind is coming off the sewage treatment plant near my grandfather's orchard.
