The (stinky) Elephant in the room....

ah aussie women.

they may smell but they sure can sing!

You guys crack me up...

Soak yourself in cheap cologne. That way if they don't get the message at least you will smell yourself instead.

Back in the 1980's Gordon Sumner was cutting tracks in a famous LA studio. He had a habit of jogging before he came in, sans a shower. That's where he got the nickname, "Stink".

Don't you guys ever record crust punk bands? Patchouli and BO is a great mix

the image of a dead skunk soaking in an old pot of coffee has come to mind 8)

Had a guy in here not long ago, one of those older punk rock types. Took three days to fumigate.

I'm feeelin' ya wiz. One of the finer bass players I've worked with really smelled. I mean, stank. He's on dozens of albums, tours the world, crazy chops, but I just can't be in the same room for more than an hour. I'd love to ask him to work on some new material with me, but just can't take it. I actually thought I should say something as a friend, but I figured I wouldn't be a friend for long if I did.

I've wondered the same thing, how the hell does anyone sleep with that. Do they not smell it?

a 'ripe' smell is more common in countries outside of North America, Western Europe and Aus/NZ

We should count our blessings it isn't the norm for the rest of us.

Down here in the sub tropics during the summer washing daily is a minimum - some people really could do with doing it twice.

I have to say that most Asians are also pretty clean. Outside of people in poorer areas of maybe India, China or Vietnam, everyone is from a developed enough area to wash frequently and does so. I don't think you'd get a lot of sympathy for not showering here when it hits 30 degrees (celsius) and the humidity is in the 90% area. That goes for places

Eastearn Europeans are pretty clean too. Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Estonia, Bulgaria etc. are all first world nations. Latin America is also fond of daily washing where available, due to also having high humidity. You basically have to go somewhere that doesn't have running water to find people who do not wash near daily in the 21st century. Like Chad or Somalia or maybe parts of Iraq since ISIS moved in.

I won't get too far into the political nature of these things, but water shortages in the West are simply due to poor infrastructural planning. States can go full banana republic occasionally and take their eyes off of everything but the current hot policy and the effects of this will ripple through the infrastructure of the state. Chances are you'll find companies in the area who, due to contractual agreements, are undergoing no water shortages. Or in cheeky cases, like Starbuck's water bottling company that is now moving its plant from Cali due to some much deserved criticism, there's just a complete absence of giving a fuck.

dang, I was hoping it was just a one day stinkathon, and that he'd cleaned up his act.

lol, is there an obvious reason for it? Does the guy need a shower? or is he just a stinky stinkerson no matter what he does?
