I was always under the assumption that tea was for sophisticated people whereas coffee was the pedestrian beverage?

I rather like both! My reaction would be the same if someone had mortally insulted tea in the same way.

Hated:
  • Cheese
This explains everything :(

My favorite smells are, my girlfriend, bacon, yeast, cane sugar cola, new books, deep fried anything, beer, smoked meat, and new cars.

Least favorite, are the inside of a refrigerator, cigarette smoke, and cats.

Strange as this will undoubtedly sound, my favorite smell is the unmistakable regurgitation of Speckled Trout.
Let me explain...
As a kayak fishing guide, finding the schools is half the battle. I then have to get them to bite the clients' offerings. Operating in the marshes of South Louisiana, the main target species are Speckled Trout, Redfish and Flounder.

Redfish are easy to find: Just look for roseau cane along the shoreline amongst the grasses. That cane requires a harder bottom than the common muck of this vast estuary, and the hardest bottoms around here are usually oyster beds. Find the cane and you've found the beds. Redfish are prolific over oyster beds.
Flounder, like Reds, are predictable. Deep holes/channels in Winter, then staging on sandy points with good current flow the rest of the year. Fish the eddying backside of these points with a light jig on the bottom. TwitchtwitchBAM. It's not rocket science...it's fishing. But there is an art to being successful day-in day-out.

That brings us to that ever-popular Speckled Trout. Except for the large sow females , they're a schooling species. As such, competition for food is inherent and we can use this to our advantage. I know where the lone sows hang out each season, but trophy trout fishing is a completely different matter. These schools, however, can move far distances over the course of a single day. To find them consistently...
...wait for it...

...Continually sample the marsh air for a distinct scent of strawberries and cantaloupe. :whisper:
Yep. Berries and melons. My favorite scent by far. Even in the produce section of my grocery, I can't help but think of fishing.
The feeding Trout will herd shoals of baitfish and shrimp, gorging themselves like Caligula. They then regurgitate the shells, carapaces and scales. This mass is accompanied by undigested fish oil which then rises through the water column. Upon breaking the surface that odd combination smells like, well, strawberries!
Detect the berry-melon scent, scan the horizon for the oily sheen, then paddle over and watch the clients catch their limit of fish in mere minutes.
Their cheeks hurt from grinning so much! And that gets my little outfit repeat customers, year after year.

Favorite smells: Strawberries and Cantaloupe.
Worst whiffs: Decaying human flesh.

I love the smell of grass as well.

I also love the smell of vanilla and pineapple and just good old fresh air (does that even have a smell?)

I HATE the smell of cigarettes and alcohol.... especially cigarettes


The smell of fresh cut grass irritates me, seeing as it's me who probably just had to cut it.


The smell of cigarettes and alcohol, while being consumed, is one of my favorites....
Ask me the next morning though, and I'll tell you it's the worst smell in the world. Funny thing, those hangovers.

I love the smell of gore in the morning.... In reality, I'd say bacon or gingerbread.

Hate the smell of airplane fuel, and fuel in general.

I don't even tell stories to my Father. That should be enough information.
Appreciate the interest but it's not something to discuss, really.

Suffice to say, no odor in the history of this planet can ever be more repulsive.
Just trust me on this one.

Fav smell of all time, fresh baked bread near my home town a place called the brick oven bakery.

I could say sewage is the all time worst but I dont smell it enough to place it there. I'm going with perfumes because I do smell them often and most make me nauseous.

Best: Cinnamon, fresh bread, nail polish, books, red wine, coffee, barbecues, fresh paint (a house never smells better than when you've just decorated imo).

Worst: The litter box, morning breath, damp/mould, brussel sprouts, old meat, hemp seeds (my Mum boils it for fishing and it reeks).

The worst thing I've ever smelled(smellt?) was this horrid slime that was inside a shop-vac. It smelled like someone vomited inside a dumpster, scooped it out with a shovel, then microwaved it at home.

I don't have a favorite smell, just whatever smells good at the moment.

Could be courgettes (or zucchini, if you prefer); they're pretty seriously disgusting once they go mouldy. The least favourite part of my Saturday job back in my teens was cleaning the shelves where the courgettes had been and finding this awful, foul-smelling prickly mush lurking at the back if one of them had gone off. Bleh.

No. Lots of people drive while drinking coffee. Beer would be more of a pedestrian beverage.
Because no people drive while drinking beer? :P

But coffee is... bah! It promises so much with its smell, and then when you taste it, bah, water with brown grit.

i like the smell of urine. :hubbahubba:
Just me?
Yes. Just you.

:sick:: Orange Chicken

No idea what this is... sounds nice though?

I just remembered a story from when I left a marmite sandwhich in a draw for something like.. a year...
Of course, as you do, I had a little whiff of the remains.. Without doubt the most horrendous thing I've ever smelt in my life to date.
I've never ever been sick due to a smell, but this brought me close.. :(

I'm going to refute popular opinion here and say that good cannabis smells pretty pleasant before you set it on fire. My least favorite smell has to be that of a grease trap. Lots of restaurants have a hole for emptying them out behind the building, and there are trucks that come and use a hose to pump the old grease out, and that's when you can really smell it. Another smell I dislike is that of convenience store hot dogs. Once when I was pretty young (12 or 13 maybe?), I was coming down with a 24-hour stomach virus and just starting to feel really queasy. I happened to be out with my father, who pulled up to a convenience store (a Circle K) and asked me to go inside to get something. As I walked up to the door, I thought, "I'm going to go in there and smell the hot dogs something and it's going to make me puke." Lo and behold...

I have a very sensitive nose. I'm allergic to a lot of smells. I like the smell of food though. Food is good.
