[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 3149344, member: 684"] Over the years, we have talked about everything under the stars here at OSA. Our favorite foods, our favorite movies, favorite songs, guns, dogs, cars, booze, soft drinks, blondes, redheads, [I]yaddida, yaddida, yaddida[/I]. :blahblah: [B][SIZE=6]BUT...[/SIZE][/B] I don't recall anyone talking about some of their favorite smells. Now, I'm not talking about the obvious scents out there...like steaks or fajitas on the grill, Hoppe's No. 9, Break Free CLP, the smell of napalm in the morning (thanks Lt. Col. Kilgore) fresh tooled leather and, of course, the elusive fish in the pantyhose that none of us can seem to find. :naughty: No, I'm talking other scents that you don't smell everyday, but when you do, they either ignite your senses, bring back an old childhood memory or inspire you to write a blog such as this. I decided to write this thread because of my 1 year old grandson. His mom and dad were at our house tonight having dinner with us. Because of certain conditions, my grandson needed a bath before they could go home. Upon their depature, I gave little man a hug and kiss and the aromatic scent of Baby Magic soap and lotion enlightened my senses. It was one of the best smells I have inhaled in a long, long time. It was awesome! So because of that, here's a quick list of other scents that had my mind thinking back a few years to my youth... When a cigar or cigarette is lit with a Zippo lighter. The smell of a new car's interior. The aroma of a brand new baseball mitt and then after a couple of seasons. My dad's after shave; it was usually Skin Bracer, Aqua Velva or Old Spice. Kahlua. Coconut suntan lotion/oil. The first time I smelled the future Mrs. GED's perfume. Pine-Sol (yeah, I know :screwy:). Hershey's chocolate. The aroma of a baseball card shop. A bleachy clean towel as I dry my face after a shower. Original Polo cologne in the green bottle. I've worn it since I was 15 years old...over 35 years now. That's just a few. I'm sure I could come up with some more. What about you? What smells (besides the obvious ones we ALL enjoy) tickle your senses? [/QUOTE]
