Jeez, y'all and your mysterious smells. I think the syrup one was less alarming.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Me & the office mate are talking about it. He couldn't smell it in Brooklyn so we figured New Jersey farted. Or else their sulfur flavoring plant exploded.

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

Maybe some unspeakable demon came up from Hell and then forgot to close the Hellmouth....

Authorities were investigating the source of a mysterious gas-like odor Monday that stretched across a large part of Manhattan, including Rockefeller Center.
"Fuck Manhattan! How's 45 Rock?!"
Across the Hudson River, Jersey City, New Jersey, mayor's spokeswoman Maria Pignataro said officials there were told the odor was due to a gas leak in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, just north of Greenwich Village.
...sorry.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Yeah, I couldn't smell it until about 14th St this morning (coming from Brooklyn on the F), and then it got REALLY strong at 34th and 42nd.
Apparently they've evacuated Macy's and Saks, but not Grand Central. WTF? Shoppers need more protection than commuters, I guess.

I'm deeply amused that an entire city smells like gas and that it's all the fault of bon bon's neighborhood!
I think the syrup one was less alarming.
I can imagine so. Plus syrup would just be hungrymaking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I only caught the syrup one time, and totally missed this gas situation. It's weird how I only go under most of Manhattan.
No. It's not lame. It's more like, "Good-bye skinny clothes! I hope to fit in your size 4-ness again one day. Maybe this time next year? Except you are all spring and summer weight, so maybe in spring 2008."
You can be like the woman (from Joe Millionaire!) in the weightloss commercial who's like, "Yeah, I had a baby and became a BLIMP-O size 10! Thanks to this product, now I'm back to a 4 LIKE I SHOULD BE!" My mother and I rolled our eyes forever at that one.

No icky smells here in Boston, but I got motion-sick on the T... does that count?
Also, in other news, ten blocks of downtown Austin was closed down this morning because of a high number of dead birds discovered this morning. No, I'm not making that up!

What is even happening?
Yikes, Theo. That can't be a good sign.

Austin, TX, right?
