Dayton

The entire town of Dayton was found dead in what appears to be a biological attack. Analysis of the atmophere revealed that the air contained 100,000 parts per million of Febreze.

No suspects have been identified, but an anonymous source reports overhearing an unidentified individual in the vicinity muttering that “that damn ladies’ room might actually smell OK now.”

Dayton is a dinky little town. Its claim to fame is the Wright Brothers who set about inventing an airplane so they could get as far away from Dayton as possible.

When the sun shines in Dayton, which is rare, there’s an odd yellow tint to the air. Not a charming sepia tone as in O’ Brother Where Art Thou but more of sickly hue. Think of jaundice and you’re there.

In addition to the color, a slight but utterly unpleasant smell lingers on the air. It’s like a combinatin of eggs and cat feces. This scent is ofen on the breath of born and bred Daytonians even years after they move away.

The city is stuck somewhere between 1978 and 1983. People of both genders were mullets, listen to REO Speedwagon and smoke Newports.

Nope. It makes no sense in relation to the comment that you linked it to. Are all of the women in Dayton who use this conference center on food stamps or something? Why does the city provide food?

okay, so the city of dayton has grocery stores, correct? women go to grocery stores, and purchase food, you still with me? okay, then they eat the food. Now, here’s the hard part, there is thing called digestion. it makes food go through the body, and, eventually, come out. the already digested food coming out is what causes the odor. …dig??

Give it up…you’re beginning to look pathetic.
You still have missed the point that the question I posed is not whether or not shit stinks. The question is if the City of Dayton is the cause of the smell in the ladies room, it would presumably be an odor of sewage coming through the drains…why then only the drains in the ladies room? You still with me? The men in Dayton eat also, their shit stinks too, why does the men’s room not reek? OK, here’s the hard part…There are these things called cars. What percentage of Dayton residents actually do their grocery shopping within the city limits (not that it has a flying fuck to do with a damned thing, but you are the one making shit up as you go along)?

I’ve actually never been to Dayton, so I wouldn’t know that much about it. Perchance the pipes in the ladies’ room are broken, and an odor is coming through the crack? You might also consider the possibility that the men wouldn’t complain about the odor. Or read signs. I don’t know.

So you blame Dayton and it’s way out of line
So I’m blaming you babe
I think you made a poo babe
So light a match and throw out that sign

Ive lived in other areas of the region, and dayton isnt as horrible as people make it.

dayton holds the patents to more inventions then any other city in the world. that can of coke you love. the pop top invented in dayton. that car you love to drive, you can start it without the little crank on the outside, because of an inventor in dayton. being able to pay in any store you go to, thank dayton for thier cash registers and credit card readers. i live in dayton and i dont think that it sucks by any means. its not the booming place it once was bnut there is such a deep history here and an amazing arts community. there are far worse places to live, those of you who hate living here, get out an actually explore what your area has to offer and give back, make the community yours instead of complaining on how horrible it is to live here, if you still hate it, get the fuck out because you are probably the ones stinking up the bathroom.

And my mother used to attend church with a bigwig at Yahoo… and I know this makes me all the more special! Me, and 5 million other people who live and work here!

Not to mention that Pong was first tried out in a bar about 3 miles from my home also…

The HP guys worked in their garage in Palo Alto (where I am working right now – literally around the corner from Xerox where the first Windows OS was developed…)

I guess there are no inventors here in Silicon Valley, so I should just shut up and move to Dayton…

As for the art community… well, that’s what we keep San Francisco around for! (that, and the sourdough bread)

Cities don’t hold patents.
Last I heard (admittedly some time ago) the holder of the greatest number of U.S. patents was Bell Labs/Lucent Technologies (NJ based BTW). This may not be the case as of today, but I’m not so uptight that I feel compelled to look it up.

That’s “living” patent holders, Mishee. There may be someone dead with more.
Also that study only looked at individuals not corporations. IBM, Lucent and Dupont have loads of patents as well.
Don’t sweat it. Do you really believe that there would be more U.S. patents issued to persons in Dayton than Tokyo?

I feel honored that my home has been mentioned on this blog. Personally, I think the odor was caused by our mayor, Rhine McLin. I can smell her from here.

Maybe the action they were taking against the city was having the stinky mayor recalled.

You know, for a city that was famous for pig slaughterhouses, I hardly think anyone from Cinci is one to talk about odor.

Since there is no new note yet, I have a question for the Ohioans(?) out there who seem OK with making a little good clean (?) fun of your great State:
Since the original Cleveland Browns were named for Paul Brown but are now the Baltimore Ravens {die Art Modell}, are the new Cleveland Browns named for the air quality in Cleveland

I suppose an odor in the ladies’ room is better than an ogre in the ladies’ room.

"That's not passive-aggressive. That's just plain aggressive!" (Um, yeah.)
