Elton John – Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy

“What Is That Smell?”

Starting yesterday afternoon, my office took on a very strange, and quite horrendous odor. It smelled like death, or rotten eggs. I sit underneath a air vent, and I have a pretty piss poor sense of smell, so it didn’t bother me too much. Only when I moved out from under the […]
