I really don't like BusinessObjects. Really. Don't. Like. Way too many options and I have difficulty making decisions. Grr.

Really very evocative, isn't it? Not bad for a 5-year-old, or whatever age he was at the time.

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
Why would someone eat a limburger cheese sandwich?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Sulphur is not a smell that I tolerate well either. Of course I didn't find this out until we were already in the Eolian Islands in Italy, which are famous for the hundereds of hot sulphur springs that can be found everywhere. Restorative and healing properties, my foot.
Matt, I don't even want to contemplate limburger cheese when it's fresh. That's just ewww.

I'm a freak -- I love the smell of the overpowering brewery funk. LOVE.
Seattle used to have a big brewery just south of Downtown. Driving into or out of the city, you'd get a wave of brewery funk.
It's now the Tully's Coffee HQ, and I'm still not used to getting a nose full of roasting coffee instead. (When pregnant and off coffee, the smell taunted me every time I drove up to my OBs office.)

Hee--Matt's dad's sandwich choice reminds me of the Guinness commercial (with the Victorian ad cut-outs burbling "Brilliant!") when they go to the Green Bay tailgate party and put limburger chunks on their heads. The ad ends with one of them muttering, "I smell feet."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.
Toronado - San Francisco's best known microbrew bar - is having a special wet hops beer festival this weekend. This is a specialty niche where they don't use dried hops, and the freshness of the hops makes the beer herbier-grassier. It's a beer snob thing. They describe it as the beaujoulais nouveau of beer.

Now I'm picturing your boss as spherical.
And well you should! OK, not really. You'd be closer picture a dressed-down Pee Wee Herman.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
You want to trade, Daisy? You can type the information from the miscellaneous printouts into an excel sheet, and I'll make your calls?
Ah. I had the spreadsheet project yesterday. Luckily, I have a trainee to pawn it off on.
I am Steph re: brewery smell.
Does anyone have any good inspiring quotes about hard working immigrants.

Huh. I just got an automatic breaking news update in my email: "Ford names new chief of staff." I open it up and the article has to do with Hyundai's decision to reverse the decision to eliminate the minivan from its product plan.
Someone's not proofing the emails.
