while dropping the p-man off at school today a woman was passing by then stopped in her tracks, turned to me and said, "you smell -really- good today." wow. uncomfortable. i informed her that it was probably the stuff i use in my hair (aveda's control paste; organic, animal-friendly and a really nice product on top of it). she just kind of stood there semi-frozen; i supposet she was dealing with the shock of realizing what an odd thing it was she had just blurted out. i bid her a good day and continued on feeling just a little ... odd.
btw, if you use distcc i highly recommend checking out icecream. it's autoconfiguring, supports transparent cross-compiling (so the machines can be different hardware and run different operating systems) and has a truly nice visualization front end for kde. i was reminded of it yesterday so went to install it on the new laptop so i could fire it up and was pleased to find nice packages for it: apt-get install icecc icecc-monitor ... sweet.

Wow! A computer geek AND a stud! You have broken barriers!
How many times have you been out and about and someone walked by and you thought 'boy, they sure smell nice!'? She was just saying out loud! lolol...
And yes, you ARE a stud muffin! hahaha..
I love you little brother!

haha.. i think "stud" is pushing it a bit ;)
but yeah, people i don't know regularly say things to me in public that can only be described as odd.
makes walking through city streets a bit more entertaining if not surreal.
I'm bald :S You think I could use that stuff anyway? Maybe on my eyebrows?
I need to try!
Hahaha. TODAY. So, what? You don't smell good every other day? ;)
Happened to me a few times as well but it was for the "Axe" I was wearing.
Though they were all women I knew. They could have been being nice...
:P
@wench: you got it. can't be a hippy unless you smell once in a while ;-P
@constant: yeah, see that's what makes these encounters so odd. i don't know any of the people who decide to "share" with me like that. were they people i knew then it wouldn't be so odd. =)
My wife read this over my shoulder and said "He must usually stink!"
whois me right now all you nerdz out there!
You just got hit on.
Ben
PS. dont ever let your wife know. ;)
Way to go Aaron! Being a single guy, I'd love it if that sort of thing happened to me once in a while. I have to see if I can find some of that stuff...
