Brian Mountjoy - LIFE ON THE DASH

A SONG AND A SMELL AND A MOMENT

I heard “Sunshine on My Shoulders” over the speakers while sitting in some coffee gathering place last week. I was jolted into yesteryear.
Two days later, as a stranger passed by, the wind carried the aroma of a shampoo scent
hurriedly into my proboscis. I remember.
Both times I was transported back to the school cafeteria on Friday night, in 8th grade, dancing with her.

When was the last time that you were doing your daily whatever and one of your senses jerked your memory back into that “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” moments of recollection?

Little things have taught me a lot.

THE POWER OF GERT

Seeing is believing.

A few questions and comments come to mind.

1. Did you lay your clothes out the night before?
2. Is that a giant green butterfly?
3. You look like one of those pink Hostess Sno-balls.
4. Are you brothers?
5. This isn’t real.
6. Those lapels are almost the same size as my hang glider.
7. Aaaa, there is a raccoon on my scalp!
8. Who would name their boy child Gert?
9. Exactly where do you perform?
10. I think that the mustaches on the men in the back row are actually from the accumulation of clipped hair from a recent trim that did not get removed via the blowdryer.
11. Whew, good job men, I can see that your fashion power has really matured from the pink to the blue. Hand me a cape, “Toro, Toro!”
12. Very stylish 70’s auto mechanic garb.
13. Please go through your thought process with me.
14. Why are you smiling?

SHOES

Serious?

The Reebok Kool Aid shoes?

Read this yummy description:

The Reebok® Pro Legacy Kool-Aid® kids' shoe is one tasty shoe. It features a colorful, "flavored" leather upper for comfort and a soft feel. The "ice" rubber outsole has a clear bottom so you can see the Kool-Aid® logo right under the sole.
They smell like Kool Aid flavors.

There is nothing better in the world than breathing in that sweet aroma of Cherry-flavored toe jam sweat.
It gives me such joy to think about those marvelous apocrine glands that secrete a fatty sweat directly into the tubule of the gland. When I am under emotional stress, the wall of the tubule contracts and the sweat is pushed to the surface of my skin where bacteria begin breaking it down. So, when that odor, caused by the bacterial breakdown of apocrine sweat is mixed with that sugary smell of the artificial cherry aroma…wow, am I in heaven or what!
