"I love that smell of the emissions," she said.

[one_voice]

Yeah, Palin really said that...

"I love that smell of the emissions," she said, donning sunglasses and a Harley Davidson skullcap-style, black helmet.

*snip*

Asked by a man in the crowd if she was running, Palin responded, "Don't know yet."

But not all veterans at Sunday's staging were thrilled by Palin's presence, less so because of the politician she is, but because the event is meant to honor service members missing and killed in action.

"If she's here to support us and our troops, past, present and the ones that's name's written on the wall, that's fine. This is not a political event other than to call attention to the accounting of our MIAs, KIAs that have not been brought home," said one veteran.

1. Then breathe deep and hold your breath, you idiot.

Hopefully it will do some damage.

[Raine]

16. The thing is I think the damage

has already long happened. :silly:

2. Cue the Blazing Saddles campfire scene.

:rofl:

3. That could explain a lot - nt

8. That could explain EVERYTHING

4. Mmmm. Carbon Monoxide.

Yummy! :crazy:

[Ilsa]

5. I hope her stupidity was captured on video.

Her affinity for CO might come in handy in explaining her brain-damage during the 2012 election cycle, whether she is running or endorsing.

[Skidmore]

6. Teabagger flatulence.

Guaranteed to rot the brain.

[rocktivity]

7. (Pre-click prediction) Who -- Palin?

Sniffing gas emissions -- it DOES explain a lot...

:headbang:

9. someone show her how to run a hose pipe from the tail pipe

to the car interior. Keep the windows closed to get the full effect.

[Urban Prairie]

10. Pretty blatant dig at "tree-huggers"

Hey Scarah, then why not stick your powdered nose into the end of one of those running cycles' hot exhaust pipes, and snort up some much more concentrated fumes?

:evilgrin:

[reggie the dog]

14. i am a tree hugger who likes the distinct sound and smell of a

customized v twin engine on a harley running straight pipes with no mufflers or emissions controls. i grew up the son of a biker and toured many many states in the usa on the back of my dads bike and went out scrambling pretty much every weekend every summer for ten years with him as a kid. she is going after the votes of people like me and my father but it is not going to work in this family.

[Mnemosyne]

11. Idiot probably likes the smell of glue, paint and lighter fluid too. Only money has kept her

from being a crack/meth house whore. Sorry, didn't mean to insult whores.

[Mopar151]

23. I used to work for a "straight edge" rich kid who LOVED

Dupont 3608 lacquer thinner. A buzz without guilt, I guess, 'til you start missing brain cells...

[Mnemosyne]

30. Hypocrisy everywhere! I thought straight-edge meant no altered states.

I just will never understand chemical inhalant users...

[Mopar151]

31. As for me

I try and maintain a distinct seperation between high and sick......

[Octafish]

12. 'I love that smell of the emissions!'

For her, most profound.

[formercia]

28. I wonder if she swallows.

Jus' askin'

13. i love the smell of harley emissions, many bikers and gear heads likely agree

, it reminds me of being a kid and going out riding on the back of dad's harley. something with the straight pipes with no muffler and hot rod custom engines put into my dad's bike and those of his friends gave the smell of the emissions a different odor than that of most cars. perhaps it is a hot rod thing too? any greasers on here ??? my old man was a greaser as a teen hot rods and all, and got into bikes later.

i doubt palin has toured america and gone out riding as many times in her life as i did as a kid, one day i will get a bike too and yes i like the smell and sound of a hot rodded out v twin. i doubt palin even knows what the hell she is talking about.
the interests of rural and urban labor are the same, their enemies are

18. Nitro, methanol, CAM2

All have distinct ehaust smells, and the memory triggers they produce are strong and pretty positive - none smells like a badly tuned engine on old road gas.
(CAM2 is the original Sunoco racing gasoline, and, Im told, similar to the old Sunoco 260 - the gas that powered the musclecar era.) Racing gas is still the most reliable octane booster, and it is made from the best "cuts" off the refinery tower - Try about 30% with a good 93 octane, and wake the ol' hog right up!

[reggie the dog]

20. sadly i dont have a bike yet due to financial issues, but i will tell

my dad about the octane booster you talk about, and yes, they boosted the octane on their bikes


is it something about just having the pipe come right out of the motor with no muffler and no catalitic converter? just a pipe?

on a side note do you think palin really has fond memories of harly hot rods or is it just a P R stunt? to this day when i hear or smell hotrod bikes i am transported back to my youth and i see my dad without all the white hair he has now.

[Mopar151]

21. Maybe snowmobiles?

I've not seen any hint that she or Toad had ever had to do with Harleys or hot rods.

As to the exhaust smell - catalytic converters definitely have to do with it. The straight pipe (low restriction exhaust) may, as well, because the incoming fuel/air "charge" is not diluted as much by un-exhausted gases. Older Harleys really like av-gas as well, straight or mixed - but avgas burns relatively slowly, because it is made to use in large, slow turning engines much like a Harley. My buddies tried some in a hot Fiat X1-9, and the damm thing would barely run! Mixing in some "camel piss" unleaded did the trick, and got the little monster back to snarling.

24. Aromas that take us back to childhood

Even if they're smells that really aren't pleasant, always have a special place in the heart. I love the smell of burning coal because it reminds of of crisp winter days in the Alps of my childhood. The sense of smell is a powerful memory trigger.

[Angry Dragon]

15. Go suck a tail pipe sarah

19. "I love the smell of napalm in the morning..."

When one of his men advises that the beach at Vinh Dinh Drop is perfect for surfing, having a six-foot peak and a bowl section that's "tube city", Kilgore changes his mind about escorting Willard and the PBR to the river and decides to capture the village. His men advise him that it's "Charlie's point" and heavily fortified. Dismissing this concern with the explanation that "Charlie don't surf!", Kilgore orders his men to saddle up in the morning to capture the town and the beach.

[sendero]

22. Was that the bikes.

... or the bikers?

[divvy]

25. Here .... pull my finger for emmissions.

Every time I hear a loud motorcycle go by, I think of a child running through a crowd while farting as loud as he can. Hey look at me !

[MilesColtrane]

26. You can tell she loves the smell of emissions because she...

goes through life with her head up her ass.

[lpbk2713]

27. Kick

Some times I think this moran is a gift to the normal world.

Who says God(dess) doesn't have a sense of humor? :rofl:

29. Dear Sarah, Pull your car into the garage and lower the door. Enjoy.
