It's unbelievably musky!

"Who smells like freaking porpoise hork?"

WTF does musk actually smell like? I hear that all the time but I have yet to run into a musk.

That's 'cuz you're usually in the shower when you're trying to sniff another man's musky scent. I hear the steam doesn't help. Try stealing a whiff next time you're playing Twister.

Twister is for lusers. I prefer a hot and sweaty game of four square.

mr.Curmudgeon · « **Reply #7 on:** January 24, 2006, 01:18:59 pm »

Sounds musky!

Just imagine what if the same was true for horse ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and dog urine. Global economics salvation

Soon as I get home I'm cleaning the litterbox and putting the contents on ebay.

I'm choking on my own ambergris just thinking about it!

MustardTent · « **Reply #12 on:** January 24, 2006, 02:41:17 pm »

I can't believe that ambergris is actually real. I thought it was just a Futurama joke.

However, since I'm mentioning Futurama, I'll have to quote it:

Fry: So you're saying these aren't the decaying ruins of New York in the year 4000?
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: You wish. You're in Los Angeles.
Fry: But there was this gang of ten-year-olds with guns.
Leela: Exactly. You're in L.A.
Fry: But everyone is driving around in cars shooting at each other.
Bender: That's L.A. for you.
Fry: But the air is green and there's no sign of civilization whatsoever.
Bender: He just won't stop with the social commentary.
Fry: And the people are all phonies. No one reads. Everything has cilantro on it...

It was... it was called the Internet Stock Bubble.

Thanks for that. I miss Futurama so much.

Frye: Where's the bathroom?
Bender: The what-room?
Frye: The bathroom?
Bender: The bath-what?
Frye: THE BATHROOM!
Bender: The what-what?

dude, I was about to say you're 4 posts late, but that would be plain dumb, wont it ?

Bones · « **Reply #17 on:** January 25, 2006, 02:06:19 am »

I just read about this story in the newspaper. It claimed the puke would fetch close on $1 million au.

The link is claiming significantly less.....

Quote from MrC's page:

AMBERGRIS FACTS
* Banned in US under endangered species legislation.

It's against the law to use the discarded digestive waste products from a mammal? WTF

Bloody crazy yanks......

ChadTower · « **Reply #19 on:** January 25, 2006, 08:56:23 am »

Nearly ALL of it would be extracted from the belly of a LIVE mammal, that's why.

NO NO NO NO! It is for scientific research! The tasty whale meat is collected for the purposes of research only! Honest.
