Or, maybe like how when a plush toy, or a couch, or something furry gets so dirty, it doesn't have much of a smell, but it has so much dirt on it, you sneeze.

Of course, he could also smell of mud... he takes a mud bath every day, you know.

He occasionally takes a mud bath and he eats (if I recall well) ice cream with sardines among other things... I guess the resulting aroma will be pretty like garbage.

What does Mud smell like anyway? I can't say I've been out sniffing it lately. I guess he is kinda a Earthy chap...maybe he does have a gentle earthy summer-rain smell...

Actually that is a very polite and poetic description of his smell, to me mud does not have that much of an offensive odor unless you're talking about swampy mud (Phew!)

I always thought he smells like a generic garbage dump. Or a building that garbage is accumulated in over the course of many years. But probably to a lesser extent. It's a smell that is there, but not enough to turn the faces of those around him. Well, think about it. No one on SS has ever talked about his smell that I know of. Perhaps they're just being polite, but it's probably not as horrible as one would imagine for someone who has been living in a trash can for close to 40 years. :wink:

Can I hazard another guess? I bet he smells about as bad as our very own PrawnCracker...

Ah ha, how funny--how very droll of you, master Regard. I'll see this insult to my aroma and raise you one question. Who was it that vowed to go without a shower at one point in their MC career? Ah, I think we've reached a finishing point. Final score: Prawn: Infinity and ten, Beau: 12.
