GOP operatives think women want men to smell like bbq sauce
No this is not from The Onion.
<skip>
Mr. Thompson of St. Louis and Mr. Hall of Jefferson City are Republican strategists based in Washington, D.C., who, in their spare time, developed a line of barbecue sauces. One day, after sucking down some pulled pork, ribs or some other sauce-slathered treat, they had a thought, as the Post-Dispatch's Deb Peterson reported this week.
"Wow, that smells good."
<skip>
So they developed "Que," a line of barbecue-scented cologne.
Perhaps this is a telling insight into the difference between Democrats and Republicans. These two young Republicans, once staffers for former U.S. Sen. Jim Talent, turned a pastime into profits. Would Democrats have been so entrepreneurial? Perhaps not.
On the other hand, would Democrats think women would go for a guy who smells like barbecue?

Seriously, sounds like a great way for these two yahoos to spend the upcoming campaign season - developing bizarre colognes. Maybe they should expand to perfumes as well?
franksolich reeks of Preferred Stock.

2. I'm liberal AND entrepreneurial - why does this author think they can get away with that bullcrap?
Prejudice.

6. Surprisingly, it works well if your wife or girlfriend wears baby back ribs perfume.

8. It won't attract women. It might attract hungry, young men however.
Possibly not the effect they were going for.

9. But does K.C. Masterpiece attract a different type of woman than does, say, Heinz 57?
Should I marinate myself first? Are dry rubs effective?
Where's The Playboy Advisor when I need them?

Wouldn't you have scores of hungry stoners following you around though?

14. it's all fun and games until someone walking past a bar, just after closing time, gets cannibalized for wearing BBQ cologne...

15. They could sell it to women.
Most men I know love the smell of BBQ.

16. Who needs cologne? I could roll around in hickory chips if I wanted to smell like that
Of course, that does risk splinters, but it's still an option.

You know... there are things that smell kinda bad, but kinda really good, you know?

20. A few years ago I read a supposedly scientific study that indicated women...
...we're attracted to men who smelled of sweat. Something to do with being a hard-working, survival-of-the-species type.
Sadly, experience tells me that many women are only attraced to the scent of money.
Yeah, franksolich wouldn't be caught dead reeking of barbeque sauce--but he yet may, with Mrs. Alfred Packer's Wild Bill on his trail.
But seriously, franksolich has good nostrils, kept pure and clean by the fresh Nebraska air wafting through them, and because of deafness, which demands "closeness" in communication, franksolich is intimately acquainted with the various odors of people.
There's body odors much more offensive (at least to franksolich) than that of barbeque sauce; one thinks immediately of Pedro Picasso, the Atman primitive, who positively reeks of dead fish no matter how much he tries to cover it up.

Whatever the wife buys... :-)...If it makes her happy, I'm happy.

Don't forget the DUmmy whose main problem is ground-in grime around the collar of her pajamas.
And, hey:

What's the deal with proud2bDUmb with a man? What kind of desperate schmoe (excepting, of course, stevenumbers) coud be attracted to the hate-filled proud2bDUmb? Her pinched, scowling, squinty features give just a tiny hint of how dark and evil she is on the inside. I doubt even Weiner could muster anything to wag.

And here we have an example of a successful marriage. I learned long ago if GF, wifey, or momma... whatever you want to call her... ain't happy ain't nobody happy!
I'll say this though... ya know she loves you when she starts marking her territory. :-)

One last comment before I have to hit the sack.
If you dunk a hippie in BBQ sauce, does he/she still taste like shit?
Would you even try?
Never mind. Night all.

Mmmmm, my man smothered in BBQ sauce. I'm so glad I'm going back to Texas.

I use raw alcohol of whichever type is closest at hand to prevent any smell (smell being caused by bacteria in large part).
Really can't see the point dousing myself in some flower / sauce / etc smellin' crud.
