Now, now, Shawn.  It's not "stinky".  It's the pungent smell of home
sweet home!  At least, for those of us who grew up in, well, basically a
swamp/marsh.  :-)  Inhaling that smell after being away at college for
months at a time was a welcome thing.

Plus, some kinds of stink is a good stink.  For example, the smell of a
good mess of collards slowly simmering in a pot with some red potatoes
and fatback kind of simulates a household where the inhabitants are all
experiencing, well, bowel problems. But when you know it's the greens
and not the other, it can really start you salivating!   I know what
your thinking.... your thinking "Rick, that's why the rest of the
country makes fun of Southerners!"  Wish I could argue that point, but
it's true.  :-)
