  11. Cap'n, I just suffered an irony malfunction. Is that site... for real?

  12. Absolutely real. I spent about an hour browsing around ... you can get custom scents made to fit your memories (pricey!). He has some other odd scents on there, too, including "Winter 1972," a somewhat intangible concept, unless you too happened to be sitting with him as an 8-year old in an abandoned snowy field.

    I guess I can understand the 'winter' part of the scent (pine trees, earthy tones, fresh water scents, whatever), but what exactly makes something smell like 1972? Polyester? Pomade? Disco sweat?

    If you'll take time to browse around the rest of the site, you'll realize that guy is serious about smell. And also probably not a lot of fun to get stuck talking to at a party.
