A Tale of Musk

Dec 27, 2005 10:21

So, it's a couple of days before Christmas and instead of smelling like wreaths, eggnog, fireplace and mistletoe, I decided this year's Christmas should wreak of musk. Especially with Bone coming down later ( Read more... )

Magic, that was a PRICELESS post. what a great tale. i think i would have waited until the next time you saw gavin and try to spray it in his face whilst driving for old time sake. then make the return. either way, the post made me die laughing. my co-workers are reconvinced that i do no work around here.

We should probably add it to the gear list for the upcoming spring break trip. If last year was Spring Break: RV Edition then this year is Spring Break: 401K Edition.

Fun story.. I worked at Filenes in CT from the 21-24 selling cologne and perfume. I sold for DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger and *insert drum roll* Aramis. Yes I actually sold this god awful musk to people... and they loved it! I had some flannel wearing man come up to the counter, spray like 15 pumps of this stuff into his cupped hand and then smear it all over himself. So Gross!!! You should have bought the gift set with the model Mustang, it was only $65!

The substance obtained from the male's musk gland, which is about the
size of a clenched fist and located between the genitals and the
umbilicus in the abdomen, is used in the manufacture of perfume and
soap and, in the Far East, for a variety of medicinal purposes.

I want to cut the musk gland from a musk deer and smear myself with it.

*** In 1979 a tanker truck of musk flipped over near a preschool. None of the children were able to smell or see for 5 months. Once they all recovered 37% of them had attained an extremely hightened sense of smell. Some of them went on to get jobs with FBI hunting down musky men like bloodhounds.

*** The Spanish American war was in fact started by an errant spray of musk.

*** The african wildebeast unleashes musk to attract possible mates. It is scientifically possible for it to unleash enough to kill potential mates, however this has never been witnessed in nature.

*** Musk is derived from the Greek words muscola venosa meaning "venom of masculinity"

*** American internation shipping laws prevent more than 150 gallons of
musk being shipped all together over seas.
