I guess I make a distinction between bad breath and you-should-maybe-see-a-doctor breath. I never really notice people's breath unless it, like, seems to be an indicator of them maybe having bigger issues.

We used to have to sing a hymn at school called "Breathe on me, Breath of God", and it literally used to make me feel ill. I nearly fainted one time when we were singing it. I still shudder at the memory, no wonder I ended up a Knight in Satan's Service.

Yeah, agreed. Saying that, my sense of smell isn't the greatest.

And for me, I have a stupid sensitive sense of smell, often smelling things others can't detect, so I'm coming at it from that angle. To my nose, everything is stinky. Don't even get me started on perfume/cologne. X(

And that's clearly part of my irrationality. I'm pretty much drawn to a person's breath right away, like I need to evaluate them over it. Weirdly, I'm probably more tolerant of body odour than bad breath.

You have such an elastic relationship with words and their meanings.

I'm blessed/cursed with a sensitive nose too. And I dont think I've ever smelled a man's cologne that wasn't awful and most perfumes that woman wear are bad too. They tend to give me headaches. I worked with one woman who wore a perfume that for me closely matched the smell of Raid. I couldn't imagine how anyone would like it. But every so often I'll get a whiff of a women's perfume that is heavenly but always in a crowded space. Honestly a slightly fresh, sweaty essence on a woman will drive me wild.

Mine is either sensitive in this way, or completely defective. I hate flowers.

I have a definite thing about people breathing too closely to me. I hate the feeling of it. If I wake up in the middle of the night and my girlfriend is too close to me I'll do whatever I can to get out of range and it has nothing to do about bad breath. I just hate the feeling of it. Could be the best smelling breath in the world and it would still freak me out.

I have never owned an antiperspirant that the Boss hasn't described as smelling like "bug juice" (aka insecticide). The weird thing to me is that I rarely get something that is supposed to have a scent.

If I'm teaching or headed to a meeting I'll usually pop a stick of gum, but if I'm a home & my breath smells like a dead squirrel dipped in coffee I'll do mouthwash.

KISS are shitty but we all know that (except Heston).

I don't know about that, I've had some support over the years from unlikely quarters.

I remember the playlist I made for Wolt which he seemed to enjoy in parts, and Maj has professed a liking for some tracks (wish I could find that pic of him with the KISS album in his mitts).
