| Clubs? Yes, clubs. Me and some of my friends have several clubs. Some would say stupid clubs, but not me. Some of the clubs are no longer going on, but I will still blab on about them. I ask that if you wish to start a club similar to one of mine, please ask me first. I will try to be nice to you. |
| 1) The Smell Club(retired) |
| The smell club is a nice little club. Every Thursday at lunch time we get together with various items that we have collected, and we smell them. We then have an in-depth discussion on the scent flavor, color, shape and dynamic of the smells. But before the smelling can begin we must eat our lunch, and drink a liter of water so that our lunches don't interfere with the scents. We eventually create a color coding system for various items that hold a specific scent. Since this color code is different for each person, I will supply my personal color code below. Red = very warm smells with a hint of sour sting, ie polish dogs, maple wood, sun dried dog crap, clorine, certain varieties of vomit. Orange = smells similar to red, only less warmth and more sting. Often thought to be bad smells, ie rotten fish, freash dog crap, sick person vomit, drunk person vomit, decapitated road-kill, unclean hospital room. Yellow = smells like orange, but intensified by age, ie week old rotten fish, chinese garbage, week old dead person. Green = some sourness evident, but not very much. Has a more cool scent with nice airry overtones, ie pine, lime, oranges, most tropical fruits, BBQ steak, most cooked hamberger meats. Blue = No sourness at all, lots of sweetness with very light overtones, ie, watermelon, Simple Green(r), all apples except granny smith (which are more on the green side, perhaps they are best described as teal). Purple = Retains the airry quality of blue, but has a nice warmth to it, and on occasions has a subtle musty smell, ie, most cleaning agents, sea weed, weed, spagetti sauce, unsalted butter, steamed carrots. |
| 2) The Laugh Club |
| Club in which we get together every Thursday to laugh. We start out with a nice warm up during which several "corny" jokes are told. We then comense forced laughter for approximatly 5 minutes. After the warm up, we proceed with 10 minute sessions of non-stop real laughter. This is most easily accomplished by doing what I call a "crescendo of laughter." First only about 2 or 3 people giggle, then the whole group joins in with the giggling. After about 20 seconds of this, the giggles turn into chuckles, and the chuckles into laughter, and the laughter eventually turns into complete hilarity. At this point the laughter is very very loud, and often annoying to passers by. But the fact that we are annoying often intensifies the laughter. We usually have time for about 2 sessions. I must say that this club is very very very healthy, after 2 sessions of 10 minute laughter, you feel an extreme feeling of saticfaction. |
| 3) The 1850s Boston Style Bar-Brawl Club |
| About every other Tuesday we get together for 30 minutes and have an all-out bar brawl. We fight in a certain style called "1850s Boston Style," which consists of 2 or 3 people with their fists up in a sort of boxing manner. The fighters throw harmless punches, while doing a kind of small russian dance with their feet. |
