Thank you, kind sir, for the assault of wintergreen that emanated from your pores or breath or hair via soap, cologne, toothpaste, mint, or shampoo as you mounted the stationary bike next to mine as if it were a fiery steed. Had you not come along when you did, I surely would have remained on my bike even longer than I already had and pedalled myself into even more of a cardiovascular frenzy, which really wasn't necessary given that in three hours I would be at Pilates and need to reserve some energy for that.
If you don't mind, I'd appreciate if you'd come over to my place sometime around noon and straddle a chair next to me here in my office. The weather is supposed to be decent today, and I really want to get out and about, to take a walk to make up for the ten minutes that your presence forced me to surrender by dint of your mint.
Thanks! See you soon.

I don't think it's colone. Just gessing.
Offered by: jamie C on August 8, 2002 7:26 PMI've removed the evidence of your finger-flailing, Max. Shhhhh. Your shakes will be our little secret.
Offered by: Jodi on August 7, 2002 1:43 PMLOL. What the fuck happened there?
Perhaps I'd had waaay too much coffee, and my finger hitting the Post button had the shakes?
Apologies, as it only needed saying once, if that.

Offered by: tim on August 6, 2002 12:30 PMCharlene, tell me you're joking. "[N]ot picky"? I? I know this isn't your first visit, so surely you jest.
Right?
Offered by: Jodi on August 6, 2002 11:41 AMOh... I know what you mean. I love wintergreen mints... but I still remember the guy who just strolled by me as I was on the treadmill...and this had to be at least a year ago!(luckily for me he did not plant himself next to me)... The breeze smelled good at first, then I started to get the full experience and pleasure went to pain rapidly. Had it not been for the recently upgraded ventilation system, ...well,who can predict what would have happened. I remember thinking ... WHAT WAS THAT??? I had not had quite the olfactory overload such as that before. Maybe someone told him he had B.O. and being a type AAA personality, he overcompensated. Least I don't think people smell like that on PURPOSE!

Offered by: Charlene on August 6, 2002 10:39 AMDo I have to give up wintergreen mints? I really like wintergreen mints. I won't breath on you, promise!
