My neighbourhood smells like the ocean (not in a bad way) but I can only tell when I'm driving in from the valley. Sometimes it smells like jasmine, but that's tended to be scarily overpowering. The worst normal (non-disaster) smell is passing the Budweiser brewery. Blech. The hops, I guess -- like yeast, but mega-oppressive.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The hops, I guess -- like yeast, but mega-oppressive.
Nah, hops are strong-smelling, but herby-grassy. The overpowering brewery funk of which you speak is dying yeast and spent grains and fermentative microbial farts.
(also, I have yet to be convinced that they let hops anywhere near Budweiser.)

Then how come Nicole's place doesn't smell horrible like Bud?
Okay, wait, maybe the beer's not horrible like Bud.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In college, I remember arguing with my friend's mom when she would say we smelled "like a brewery" on a Saturday morning. Glad to know I was right -- I'm sure we smelled like a bar, but it's not the same!

Do they do the bottling/canning at the brewery? Maybe you smelled like that room.

I'm getting the pig!
How are you feeling today, ita? Any improvement?
fermentative microbial farts
YUM! Been here two years and have never heard it described that way. I might need to educate some of my co-workers now.

My boss finally rolled in to work. I'm going to lunch.

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 boss finally rolled in to work.
Now I'm picturing your boss as spherical.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm a freak -- I love the smell of the overpowering brewery funk. LOVE.
I pass a Jim Beam distillery on my way to and from a friend's house, and I love figuring out what they're distilling based on the smell. Sometimes it's peach schnapps. Yum. But bourbon? Also yum. LOVE.

I'm guessing Nicole's place leaves out the ass and the bear whiz that Bud uses so prominently.
