Smellympics: Round 1, Heat 2

[Rain Man]

The second qualifying heat in the Smellympics is above.

We have 140 candidates for the best smell in the world.* Note that many of the smells may be variants of other smells on the list, but I figured that if something is slightly different due to a different combination, I'll keep them both.

We'll run 14 Round 1 heats on a semi-daily schedule, and the smells that finish in the top half of each heat will move to Round 2 (70 smells). Same thing there to cut it to 35, again to get to 16, then to 8, 4, 2, and we'll crown a champion from there. In each round I'll randomly shuffle the candidates.

Each heat will stay up for a minimum of two days, including one weekday. (A lot will depend on my schedule, too.)

So put on your smelling hats and get to work. Poll forthcoming if you're downwind.










*Perfumes and colognes have been eliminated from the competition since they serve no other purpose. Edited from 141 to 140 since I had one smell double-listed.

Ooh! That reminds me. The smell of a courtroom, when you're standing there in a new suit being read the charges.

Wait, that might've been too much information. Never mind.

Combining two of those is amazing, three is orgasmic. My grandmother bakes all the time.

Grandma's pie?

This heat is probably over, I don't see Oranges catching up with that many people already voting.

Brittanys are my favorite dogs; my grandpa had a couple he used as bird-dogs.

[Rain Man]

Yeah, this one is splitting out pretty clearly. Should I put up the next one?

ORRRRAAAAAANNNGEESSSSSS... damnit Carl!!

Now, when talking about Oranges, do you mean the fruit itself or the flowers on the tree? There IS a difference.

That's the only dog I've ever had. My father and I have kept the same bloodline going since 1970.

The fruit. That should be implied.

As the suggester of oranges in the original thread, I'm let down it's not getting out of the first round. I can't believe people think pot roast smells better. Imagine peeling off the skin of an orange and smelling the goodness emanating from it. Oh well.

I assumed that and did not vote Orange. However, if Orange blossoms were a choice, I'd have voted for that.

FYI, orange blossoms (or maybe trees) is also in another heat, and I think there's a third variant that is something like "orange blossoms mixed with the chlorine of a swimming pool".
