I think of all of the interesting ideas I have seen for harmless April Fool's pranks, I love these Firefox pranks the most. LOL! I almost installed the addons onto my own computer just to make the day more interesting.
I've been trying to burn candles in my apartment, not only to make it smell nice, but to use up the zillion candles I seem to have collected during my time here in PA. Today I decided to try lighting the 'Boots and Saddles' scented candle that a friend got for me long ago. The unlit candle does not smell very good to me at all, but I thought that perhaps if I lit the candle it would smell better, more like new car leather smell.
But no, I still think it is pretty much the worst candle I have ever smelled.
That being said, I know that everyone's tastes (smells?) are different. So if any of you would like a free, practically unused (I burnt it for only like 15 minutes), leave a note in the comments and I will gladly send it to you.
Just don't invite me over when you're burning it.

boots and saddles? that's actually a joke, too, right?
my ability to tell is a little off since i went to get a drink after work (having eaten very little lunch) with the guy i missed at the bar last night. it was a little stronger than i originally noticed it to be.
sitting in the bar together was all, hey i like you, hey i work with you, hey i like you, hey i WORK WITH YOU.
but, he did buy the drink for me. if it weren't california, where all bets are off, i'd think that was a good sign.
I know it sounds like a joke, but the candle is real, all too real indeed.
glad you got to reconnect with work guy and enjoy yourself even though you had to keep reminding yourself you work with him.
Wow. Candle makers have somehow captured the smell of dead cow. That is talent.
Do you think people that work at candle companies all sit in a room and are given vials of scents from people in lab coats that ask "What does this smell like to you?". And then the people (who are obviously blindfolded) yell out things like "new shoes" or "my boyfriend's jacket". Or "dead cattle".
Thanks for making my morning!
One of the things I love about horseback riding is the smell of the leather and the horses but distilling that into a candle seems not only weird, but overpowering.
Demeter Fragrances makes strange smelling air sprays: Grass, Dirt, Tomato, Riding Crop. Really? People want their homes to smell like tomatoes? Riding crop? I don't even know what to say about that one.
