I don't know about you guys, but the first thing I do when I open a jar of habanero salsa is to stick my hootus in it.

I actually like the horse poo smell, having spent years with the critters it's the equivalent of race gas and hot brakes... associated with good times. For the most part they are a sorry looking bunch though – ribby, wormy and sore. The least they could do is brush them and wash the pee stains off before bringing them out. A $20 dewormer goes a long way towards a nice shiny coat...

I've got 5 horses. 2 of which we can ride... Kinda. I love the smell of a horse. Don't know why, just like it. The poop though, I could do without.

Driving up the 985 in Georgia on your way up to Road Atlanta, there is a Wrigley plant on the left hand side. Depending on which way the wind is blowing, your car will be a minty wonderland for about 30 seconds...

Yeah, they have one of the most comforting smells I know. I don't mind their poop – well, grain-fed race horses are a bit much – cleaning a stall sure is better than a kennel.

Our lovely little town alternates between pig E36 M3, from the farms popping up all over, turkey cooking at Coopers Farm or human waste from the poop farm right across from McDonalds.

No idea what genius thought of that but I havent had mickey ds in years

That's probably a good thing, given what's recently come out about their use of meat slime.

Pink slime makes me think of Clark W. Griswold.

'Ladies and gentlemen it is with a heavy heart that I stand here before you, at the retirement ceremony of one of the greatest innovators in the history of the food additives, colorings, and preservatives business, Mr. Clark Wilhelm Griswold, Jr. Today is not a day to be sad, it is a day to look back at the exceptional career and many inventions given to us by Mr. Griswold, before he heads off into the sunset for his retirement, which he prefers to call “my greatest vacation.” Other than his marriage to the lovely Ellen Priscilla Ruth Smith Griswold and their two fine children Rusty and Audrey I’d like to think that these inventions are his most extraordinary accomplishments.

“Milk Additive” Despite the humdrum name, Clark’s first breakthrough discovery in the food additive world was an amazing accomplishment. The state of Breakfast was forever changed with this chemical that allowed cereal to stay crunchy while immersed in milk. No longer would cereal turn soggy and gross and go to waste down the drains of thousands of garbage disposals. Children everywhere were saved from their mothers telling then that “starving children would gladly eat those soggy Cheerios.”

“Long Life Additive” Perhaps the most remarkable of Mr. Griswold’s inventions, this allowed food to stay fresh virtually forever. Once the public got used to drinking milk months after they bought it the invention caught on and helped cure the world’s hunger problem. Again I state, for the record, that our scientists proved beyond a shadow of doubt that this additive is not what was causing all that pesky cancer.

“Diet Dr. Pepper” It really does taste just like regular Dr. Pepper! Why we can’t do this with other diet sodas is a mystery that plagues us to this very day.

“Un-Ice” In 2012, when those rascally Big Tobacco “scientists” declared that it was Microwave Ovens and not cigarettes that were making everybody sick, the world of quick and easy meals was turned on its head. Luckily, newly elected President Shaquille O’Neal declared: “I’m not going to sit around for hours and wait for my steak to defrost after I take it out the freezer box. Shaq is no Neanderthal.” With a government sponsorship, Clark created a product to instantly unfreeze food for easy cooking.

“Leftover-Saver” In 2013, when microwaves were declared safe again, Clark set out to invent an additive that would make leftovers taste exactly like they did when they were fresh. No longer would we have to eat dry, tasteless spaghetti, or waste the time putting a little bit of extra sauce on it before popping it in the mic.

“Wasteless Food” When’s the last time you pooped? Case closed.

And what would a retirement ceremony be without a little roasting. I’m sure all of us would like to extend a big “Thanks” to Clark for his invention of WOW Potato Chips. I’ve never had such delicious fat-free food. Or horrendous diarrhea. You can’t hit a home run every time, right Clark!

On behalf of everyone here today, and everyone working in the food additives, colorings, and preservatives business I’d like to say “thank you, Clark W. Griswold” and may you enjoy your retirement as we have all enjoyed your inventions (except the one that made our anus leak.)

When I raced MX back in the 70's, Blendzall was the two smoke rider's oil of choice. http://www.blendzall.com/ It's castor based, has a unique smell and if I get a whiff of something similar I get that good old 'I wanna race' feeling.

Gad, I remember that stuff – used to get it in our stockings. By the end of the day it would have all sorts of nasty stuff embedded in it.

I prefer the Archer Farms blue corn tortilla chips with flax seed and Green Mountain Gringos medium salsa.

When I was a kid, we had a horsehide blanket from the cutter stored in our basement. It always looked so inviting, all horsehair on one side, woolen blanket on the other...After, probably, 60 years of not being attatched to a living horse, it still smelled, well, exactly like a horse.

I also know why horsehair was never used in any sort of clothing.

Cutter: Small horsedrawn sleigh, used for personal transport.
