You can't chuck a chicken into a fire and boil an egg
That sounds like a metaphor for something.

I could do that. I could find a way to justify it as a metaphor for the progress of industry at the expense of the environment, using the egg as the earth. LITERARY ANALYSIS IS FUN

My Mammy bought a handwash that smells exactly like cola bottle sweets and for some reason I've been thinking about this for over two hours now. Only now has it occurred to me a brightly coloured non-edible substance that smells exactly like sweets and children have easy access to seems like a terrible idea.

I once had a body wash that smelled like tobacco.
It was horrible.
Edit: I should add that it wasn't meant to smell like tobacco. That's just the scent I got from it.

When I was a fresh-faced 17 year old, I used to use a cologne that smelled like tobacco.

Thinking back on it, I had a terrible taste in scents.

Tobacco scented seems like an odd thing. I would guess it would be made to appeal to smokers who would already smell of it. Although I guess cigarettes have a different smell to tobacco by itself.

Also I love the smell of petrol. I'm sure if you looked there'd be petrol scented products but it's not something I'd want me of my home to smell like regularly.

Many good whiskies have tobacco notes in the taste as well.  Even though I smoke, I wouldn't want a fragrance to smell of tobacco.  I wouldn't mind a fragrance that has a similar nose to whisky like that, though, as long as it were more balanced, and didn't have the booze smell.

I love the smell of pipe tobacco, both as tobacco and as it's burning; I've seen a couple of candles that had a scent of leather and pipe tobacco that were nice, and not overpowering. I don't mind cigarette smoke too much (I smoke a pack a day), but I don't want my home smelling like cigarettes (I smoke outside). Cigars... forget it. I haven't smelled a cigar yet that hasn't smelled like a flaming turd.

My girlfriend loves the smell of that stuff but hated the packaging so she never bought. For valentine's I got her a pretty soap dispenser along with that soap, so she can use it without the icky packaging.

I was pretty happy with that boyfriending :D

Thanks :D I was happy with it because it's the kind of present that if you tell someone what it is ('a soap dispenser!') without any context it sounds like an appalling present when in fact it was meaningful and she loved it.

And yeah a nice soap dispenser is a good way to go but it's the kind of thing I'd only get for myself once I own a property.

For some reason the turned capital D and G are not consistently supported; I've seen them come and go even in the same browser.  Some conversion programs replace them with lower-case letters to get around this.

Incidentally, Wisconsin apparently mails drivers licenses instead of printing them at the DMV. So my current drivers license is printed on an 8.5x11" piece of paper, until my less temporary one arrives in the mail.

When you get your (semi)permanent WI drivers license, you'll wonder if it's real, because they sorta look and feel counterfeit.

At least they do compared to the previous ones I had before this new design.
