OK shrift, how exactly was your family pronouncing it?

The New York Times says the smell is still a mystery:

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

My money is on Giant Twinkie.

But where could they hide such a Twinkie?

My guess is under Lady Liberty's skirt. (Robe. Whatever.)

Ack, Perkins. Not a way to start a vacation.

There's some other way to start a vacation?

OK shrift, how exactly was your family pronouncing it?

Oh, god. One was pronouncing it "schonn" and another "sky-on", and I sat there, brow furrowed, totally lost. About ten minutes later, when I was ready to make them SPELL the damn word for me, it finally clicked.

And then I attempted to commit seppuku with the pizza server.

Maybe the smell is an ultra complex synthesis of subsmells that was sent by aliens to transform the DNA of humans.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The smell is the first thing to give me pause in a while.

Subway threats? Feh. Chatter? Nah.

But the mystery smell moving across the city has me creeped.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I'm kinda mad I don't smell it, but it would probably just make me want waffles. mmm waffles.
