You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

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

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

The overpowering brewery funk of which you speak is dying yeast and spent grains and fermentative microbial farts.

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.

Then how come Nicole's place doesn't smell horrible like Bud?

Okay, wait, maybe the beer's not horrible like Bud.

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

I'm half convinced that the reason I find beer so disgusting is due to a trip to a Soviet brewery when I was barely 16. If you've never tasted beer prior to such an experience, I don't think anyone anywhere would even consider it. Blyeah.

You've got the funk! I guess the Mothership landed in Cincy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I adore the smell of brewing beer -- it's the waste products that are left afterward that aren't so tasty.

Does Nicole's place put spaghetti in the beer? And if so, can I get mine with extra garlic?

I just had Special K. My stomach's not happy about it, but I think my brain wins. So there's that.

I like distillery smells ... ish. I hate sugar smells on the raw end ... anything up to and including wet sugar makes me nauseous (I'm such the delicate flower) but once it gets to crystal or alcohol then it's all good.
