• On of the strongest smells has to be that of burnt microwave popcorn. I was smelling it on my way out of work today. It had traveled from the snack room all the way down a hall, turned a corner and come down another long hall by my office, and was even making its way up a stairwell to another floor. Now, here I am a half hour later, away from work and in my own house, and I can still smell it. I guess the smell was so bad it has figuratively burned its way into my brain; or maybe I walked through some chemical cloud of it and it is coating my nostrils. Either way, that’s some powerful smell.
• Why do I get the feeling “My Name is Earl” is just an ad for a soundtrack CD. Every episode is like listening to an oldies station. But then any soundtrack album from the show would have to be some thousand dollar 28-disc box set.
