Miss me already?? Well, the good news for you is it's a doubleheader. Though now, I wanna talk about that smelly stinky stanky yellow nasty gas, THE FUNK. Good 'ol 2213 gave it to me to mess around with, which, even I must admit, might have been a mistake. It makes my cold little dead heart happy that he thinks I'm responsible. Which, I guess we didn't hang out much in high school, but like, he should know better. He also thinks 62 can hack into any government database. Which to me, says that, in general, 2213 thinks too highly of us all.
Yeah, so anyway, I huffed a good chunk of that gas. Right up my nose. DISCLAIMER DO NOT HUFF THINGS - ESPECIALLY WEIRD THINGS THAT COME OUT OF A GUY WITH A GAS MASK. I think that it goes without saying, but you never know which impressional young servers of the future might be reading this. I remember in chemistry class, Mr. U (not a customer, just our old teacher) taught us that when dealing with an unknown substance, we can "waft" it to engage our sense of smell. And I did waft it, at first, but I couldn't get it to waft up out of the jar. This funky business is DENSE. So I put my 'lil sniffer right up in there and wafted a big whiff.
Let me tell you: this is some grade-A hallucinogenic funk. Not… that… I would know… about hallucinogens and/or their general qualities. Again, I think it's fair to put up a catch-all disclaimer: don't do anything I do. I am a trained professional. But, yeah, after my big whiff, I got that nose-burning, eyes-watering effect that 4121 and 2213 both had, plus the fun added effect of the walls melting and my skin turning into flaming oil. I'd say the hallucinations lasted for… like 30 minutes? Hard to read a Daliesque clock, you know? I will say the smell is "bad," at first, but it's almost sickly sweet once the hallucinations kick in. Anyway, I did what I was able to do with the funk and smelled it like a guinea pig. Any actual science beyond that will have to be done by someone else. But... I would consider smelling again. If need be.
