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

I wore Santa Fe, which is a men's cologne

Oh dear, that's my toe-curly one. I've been known to sniff the boxes in stores and get turned on.

There's a lady in my office that you can smell that she had walked by, for minutes afterwards.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Fried Mac & Cheese looks especially disgusting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Allyson is me with the Drakkar and the CKOne. NOT the fried mac and cheese, which is YUM.

I actually got in the elevator the other day after someone who was wearing way too much CKOne, and had a total flashback.

I have a female friend who was obsessed with the Gaultier for Men. I can't remember if she actually wore it, or just sprayed it on her scarf, though.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, yes. My unrequited love from 7th & 8th grades (I was nothing if not persistent.) wore Polo. Ah sweet halcyon days of romantic idealism.

In those days I wore Poison, too. And later, Fendi. And a lot of makeup, including a lovely shiny purple eyeshadow applied in crayon form. It's no wonder it was unrequited, in retrospect.

About a year later, I got over all of it and never wore makeup again, except for "functions" and the like.

That KFC thing looks like it would be both disgusting and delicious. And I don't even want to contemplate how bad it is for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, now I want something salty and possibly also sweet for dinner, and I have "London Bridge" back in my head.

Thanks a lot, people.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I wear either Origins Ginger Essence [link] or Vera Wang [link] The Vera Wang I got when I went to see Ellen Degeneres and it's more girly than I usually wear, but it doesn't trigger a migraine, I get lots of compliments on it and it was free.

I like a subtle perfume to spray on right before I sail out the door. It makes me feel grown up and sophisticated.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Worse than Chaps was Brut.

Brut was my brother's cologne of choice. My dad just stuck with Old Spice aftershave.

Mom's a big fan of most perfumes from Estee Lauder (it changes every few years), and I went through phases--Charlie before I turned 16, a few others in the latter part of high school and college, then Red Door after college. But, after I got laid off my first job, I took a very short-lived job selling knockoff perfume door-to-door, and have not bought perfume since.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wish I could remember the other men's cologne that makes my knees buckle, due to youthful whatever. It's weird, because I wasn't really into the guy, but the cologne still kills me. Drakkar makes sense, because both my first boyfriend and my serious college boyfriend wore it.
