    Everyone I know seems to have some sort of smell that reminds them of a particular thing/time/place. For me, Palmer's Cocoa Butter = Play TV, 'cause during this summer, when my sleep pattern was completely reversed, I ritually doused myself in the stuff while watching the only thing that was on the hanger-in-the-back-to-pick-up-the-signal three station tv in my room.

    Now, whenever I smell the stuff, your woman with the red hair instantly comes to mind.

    How about you guys?
