Gestalt exemplified
Gestalt exemplified
The scent of cosmoline, rotting eggplant, sweat, lemon oil, and canned spinach. I'm probably the only human on earth to have smelled that combination and lived.
1. It isn't really bragging. I doubt anyone else has ever produced that particular odor, so by extension, I am also the only preson to have survived. The post seemed kind of lacking when it was only the list of things that went into the scent.
2. I was in the kitchen using lemon oil to remove the cosomoline from some 60+ year old wood. Since the lemon oil doesn't work as well on metal, I had to scrub a lot of little metal bits with paper towels, thus working up a sweat after a couple hours. When I finally finished, I decided I ought to have some dinner and started by microwaving a can of spinach. The eggplant was lunch several days before; I just hadn't washed the casserole dish I made it in yet so it was sitting in the sink.
3. It's a packing grease that works extremely well to prevent rust and rot in stuff that's going to be stored for long periods.
4. The odor of the five together is stronger that the sum of the individual odors. I knew I wanted to put the word gestalt in the title of the post. I also briefly considered "An example of Gestalt" and "Gestalt defined".

I feel like I just beat a kitten to death... with a bag of puppies.
