And Now, the Eurostench

Sat, Apr 19, 2008 at 11:59:20 am PST

Mystery Stink Swamps London.

Commuters in London and its neighboring towns and villages in southern England woke up to an unusual smell Friday morning: a stink that led many to wonder if the city’s sewers had overflowed.

Not even the queen was spared, as newspapers reported that Windsor Castle also suffered from the effects of the putrid smell.

The U.K. Meteorological Office (Met Office) was quick to assure callers that there was no reason to panic. The foul smell was not English, Sarah Holland, a forecaster for the Met Office told the BBC. “The origins of the smell come from Europe,” she said.

There's no stench like a French stench. Not the women, they smell wonderful. But some French dudes -- hoo!

I was on tour in France once and the band was picked up at the airport and driven to the hotel in a van driven by a French guy whose BO was so intense it (no exaggeration) made our eyes water. It was a physical presence in the van. We were gasping and moaning. Some of the band members had their wives on the trip, and they were holding handkerchiefs over their faces, with all the windows open.

And it was an hour long drive to the hotel. I'll never forget that odor.

Old story, when Lance Armstrong entered France for his last tour, French customs found several strange substances in his luggage, stuff never before seen in France. the four vials were tested, and the results forwarded to the Tour regulating body.
The four substances were toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and deodorant. He was fined for the infraction, but allowed to race.

I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND

After long and serious thought, I have decided to endorse Senator John McCain for President. We all know the choices by now and, that said, I do believe that the process of selecting a chief executive is deeply flawed. The words "money" and “special interests" come to mind, among many others.

Here's the way I see it:

Barack Obama, you are a fine public speaker. You are also an extremely liberal Senator from the State of Illinois, which has a long and rich history of political corruption of the first magnitude. You are indeed a child of that system.

You have finally insulted my intelligence far beyond my capacity to tolerate your insults. It has nothing at all to do with your skin color. As a matter of fact, it would be so COOL to finally have an African-American for President. What a great statement that would be to the entire world that we are indeed the greatest country on earth!

But, unfortunately, General Colin Powell is not running, and YOU are NOT the man for this job!

Barack, you want me to believe that you have never heard the sermons of your own pastor, the Right Reverend "God Damn America" Jeremiah Wright. It is a matter of record that this has been your church for over 20 years. It is a matter of record that you were married there by this very pastor, and that your children were baptized there.

The good Reverend saw fit to visit Khadafy in Libya with you and to give a lifetime achievement award to Louis Farrakhan, of all people.

We have all now seen excerpts of his sermons all over the airwaves by now. And you have publicly stated that this man IS your "spiritual mentor".

BUT, your pastor is NOT the reason I am NOT voting for you. His words were disturbing enough, but it is your own HUGE church congregation, seen jumping hooting and howling to his words in the background that disturb me the most. And please don't tell me you attended church there and never once heard a “discouraging word" in the 20 years you attended there. Don't tell me, that in addition to the good reverend, that you are now not having anything to do with all those other people seen hooting and howling out in the audience in the background of his fiery tirades.

Even Oprah Winfrey got disgusted and walked out. I am no Oprah fan, but still she did the right thing.

Now YOU look me in the eye and ask me to believe that you never heard such language in all the years you attended there! This is like me telling you that I attended dozens of Klan rallies and never once heard the "N" word. Yep. And Bill Clinton "did not inhale".

Yes, Mr. Obama, we all have friends who have said stupid things that embarrassed us, but NOW you have asked me to believe something that is so incredibly stupid that you are telling me that I am just stupid enough to believe you. THAT is the main reason that I will never vote for you. I am deeply sorry, that in a county teeming with enormously talented African Americans who would make a good President that the political system has chosen YOU. You are a pathetic and plastic excuse for an American, who will not even salute the Flag during the Pledge of Allegiance. God forbid you ever get near the Oval Office.

Now, did I mention Bill Clinton?

AH YES! This brings us to MRS. WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON, who this candidate really is, in spite of all the other names she may care to call herself. This "feminist" piece of work of course would like to be referred to as MS. and we all know who wears the pant suit in that family.

MS. Clinton, it is just as depressing to realize that there are dozens of women who would also make great Presidents. But, fortunately, the horrible state of the selection process has selected YOU. Ms. Clinton, I'm sorry, but you could not tell the truth if we water boarded your worthless ass!

Still you play the role of the "embarrassed but dignified noble wife." What utter malarkey! I am not voting for you for a world of reasons, but the main one is the same as my not voting for Senator Obama. You persistently insult my intelligence. It COULD be conceivably possible that you did not know about Monica Lewinsky, extremely remote, but possible if we stretch our imaginations a bit. But you turn around and then ask me to believe that you also did not know about Paula Jones and the legion of other women who were chewed up and spit out by your lecherous excuse for a husband. Puleese turn off this broken record!

But let's set aside your hubby's flagrant peccadilloes. The real reason I will never vote for you is that I don't think the country can survive EIGHT MORE YEARS of Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, Sandy Berger stuffing his socks with classified intelligence, Janet Reno's goon squad, and the myriad other corruptions that seem to stick to you like your ugly face. So our former President can't keep his dick in his pants. The REAL issue is that he committed perjury under oath when he lied about it and the pathetically attempted the cover-up that followed.

Like you, he is totally incapable of telling the truth. He could not do it if you tortured him, and in voting for you, we would get the BOTH of you, all over again. The same folks who could have taken out Osama Bin Laden over 3,000 dead Americans ago!

And please stop telling me that you have "8 years of experience" to lead us. You were the freakin' first lady already, not the Commander in Chief. Jeez! The sum of your "experience" is that of the most worrisome and incompetent meddling in the history of the White House. You even cursed your pitiful staff and the Secret Service agents who were and still are, unfortunately, charged with risking their lives to protect your worthless, thieving hide, and all at the expense of other people who have to work for a living.

Your single pathetic platform is to finance the illegal drugs, alcoholism and bad habits of the very lowest and most irresponsible freeloaders in America and to then "garnish the wages" (your own words) of every law-abiding and hard-working American to pay for it. This disaster you refer to as "Universal Health Care". Where have you been the last 30 years? Did you not see that socialism is a failure wherever it has been tried? Did you not notice that the Soviet Union has collapsed since it gave no reward to those who worked the hardest for the fruits of their own labors to pay for those who will not?

It is interesting to see all the dead bodies that you and your hubby have left in your wake. Suicides, mysterious deaths, cover-ups that make Richard Nixon look like a rank amateur. The utter contempt and unbelievable arrogance of some of your strongest supporters, most notably the recently resigned and disgraced Governor Eliot Spitzer, the epitome of hypocritical and malevolent arrogance gone wild, one of your most ardent, wealthy and powerful political supporters. A man the news media refuses to admit IS a “super delegate" in your own political machine, a fine example of your own “adopted" state of New York. No wonder you moved there to run for Senator! The environment there is perfect for the likes of you!

Yes, I would vote for a woman, but I will NOT vote for YOU! Which, leaves us with Senator John McCain.

John, you are a flawed man. You are a bit old, a bit loony, and you have a notoriously bad temper. This perfectly qualifies you, in my humble opinion, to lead us for the next eight years. I WANT your trembling hand on the nuclear button.

Think about it.

We have Kim Jong IL, Chavez and Ahmadenijad all running around like lunatics threatening America and threatening to plunge the world into nuclear Armageddon. We have Putin and the Chinese blustering and rattling their sabers at us. I want John McCain in the Oval Office and I want him to be really pissed off at all these other nut jobs around the planet.

John, once you are elected, I want you to go into the Oval Office and throw one of your perfect FITS. Jump up and down and throw something through a plate glass window. Rip the drapes down and foam at the mouth a bit. And I want the whole thing on camera so that Ahmadinejad can see it. I want ALL of these "world leaders" to lay awake at night and to break out in a cold sweat every time they think of messing with the United States of America.

I want the nuclear button sitting right next to the alarm clock on your night stand. I want pictures of this to be sent to Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, and those other assholes in the sheets, the Saudis.

On the domestic front, poor John did try and reach across the aisle to the opposition in a desperate effort to compromise and to get the Congress to do something. You may not agree with his efforts, but at least he TRIED. For all his efforts, all he got handed to him was his head in a basket. The liberals are pissed at him and the conservatives are pissed at him. He’s just my kinda guy.

I predict that John will select Senator Joe Lieberman as his running mate. Good choice. I want a JEW whose memory of the Holocaust is still fresh in his mind and who is royally pissed off at all of these Arabed morons in the Middle East to be the next in line if something should happen to John. Shalom, Vice President Joe. One heartbeat from the Oval Office.

Finally, John McCain knows on a most personal level what it is to suffer horrible torture for years and to see others die, right in front of you, for their love of America. When you ask him about it, he will tell you that what he did was "nothing special". Even more incredibly, he states that ANY American who truly loves his country would do exactly the same as he did in that situation. You and I will have a hard time believing that but the real point is that John McCain believes that about the "average American" and that dear friends and neighbors is why I will cast my one poor ballot for on election day for John McCain -- warts and all.

CNN reporter in a tad of trouble... from the AP:

Richard Quest, 46, was arrested around 3:40 a.m. on a count of possession of a controlled substance — a misdemeanor that usually refers to a personal use amount of a drug. He was also charged with loitering; the park officially closes at 1 a.m.

But wait.... from the NYPost:


CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said.

Quest, 46, was arrested at around 3:40 a.m. after a cop spotted him and another man inside the park near 64th Street, a police source said.

re: #36 Charles

There's no stench like a French stench. Not the women, they smell wonderful. But some French dudes -- hoo!

I was on tour in France once and the band was picked up at the airport and driven to the hotel in a van driven by a French guy whose BO was so intense it (no exaggeration) made our eyes water. It was a physical presence in the van. We were gasping and moaning. Some of the band members had their wives on the trip, and they were holding handkerchiefs over their faces, with all the windows open.

And it was an hour long drive to the hotel. I'll never forget that odor.

Do the French dudes think it's sexy, or something?

I once knew someone who had convinced himself that commercially manufactured soap was unhealthy and horrible for his skin. Whatever he used instead seemed to have no effect on his BO. And he ate loads of garlic, too, for its "healthful effects".

His "presence" was also quite memorable. Yuck.

I was riding a train in Portugal and a man took off his sneakers and fell asleep.

His shoes stunk so badly that some English fellows threw his shoes out the window.

The guy was quite angry as he walked through the Lagos train station barefoot.

From the story:

British tabloid, The Daily Mail was quick to attack the French for "le stink," reporting that "freak weather" had caused the "French stench" to come to England.

But, according to Helen Chivers, a forecaster at the Met Office, the smell actually came across "from Northern Europe."

Apparently there is something rotten in Denmark.

Last time I went o France, We flew into Frankfurt Germany and rented a van. That way we were guaranteed a clean relatively odor free vehicle.
I've been around German women who could bring tears to a mans eyes as well. Still better then the Fwench.

Growing up in post islamic spain, where women shaved, washed & used colonia sparingly, German & French women were considered Barbarian because they had long underarm hair, nor shaved their legs either. This was when Birkenstock sandals were strictly German people's thing...

(This was when Americans abroad were like Ava Gardner & Frank Sinatra, clean & dressed to the nines while driving big American cars & living in Spain under Generalisimo Franco).

When I worked for American Airlines at O'Hare I usually worked in the International Terminal. Whenever a flight came in from Europe and they opened the door to let the passengers out to go through customs, the stench was UNBE-FRIGGIN-IEVABLE, especially in the summer- you could smell it everywhere in the terminal.

It was even worse than the smell from the Air India flights. Now that's saying something!

In The Philippines they eat a fruit called Durian which smells like a poopy diaper.

The first time my wife brought one home and cut it open, I thought that the toilet had backed up. I had no idea that it was the fruit that was stinking up the house.

Now, if she wants to eat durian, I make her eat it out back. If I have to smoke my cigars outside, then she has to eat her durian outside too...It's only fair.

From the Zomblog link in my #101:

Are you looking for a clear, short audio file of the controversial statement about “bitter” small-town Americans which Obama made immediately after the Getty mansion fundraiser in San Francisco on April 6, which I had exclusive coverage of last week? If so, you’re in luck, because I just uploaded the best, cleanest and most audible version available. And it’s only 44 seconds long — much more manageable than the 50-minute-long file that originally cropped up on the Web. It also sounds much better than some of the other clips that have subsequently been made available. This is THE best version you will find!

I think that is the second tape you're referring to.

Right, but I think Zombie got that from the original fifty min tape and boosted the clarity of the audio.

If they were around then Zombie could tell us, but it being Spring in SF, my money is on there being a demo somewhere about something.
