I go out back to put Tessy away in her mew for the night and I'm struck with the piquant, mouthwatering smell of barbecue. I walk down the old path a little further and suddenly I smell the affectionate scent of sweet citrus blossoms. Then the two mingle and I'm transported back in time to a place where I had a life... far away... a long time ago. A wistful longing wrenches at the center of me...

NYC man sells fart for $85, cashing in on NFT craze
The value of this art is all hot air.

A Brooklyn-based film director is simultaneously mocking and attempting to profit off the cryptocurrency craze for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) by selling a yearâs worth of fart audio clips recorded in quarantine.

âIf people are selling digital art and GIFs, why not sell farts?â Alex RamÃrez-Mallis, 36, told The Post of his dank addition to the blockchain-based NFT market.

His NFT, âOne Calendar Year of Recorded Farts,â began incubating in March 2020 when, at the beginning of the global coronavirus lockdown, RamÃrez-Mallis and four of his friends began sharing recordings of their farts to a group chat on WhatsApp.

On the one-year anniversary of the USâs COVID-19 quarantine this month â by which point RamÃrez-Mallis said he could darn near identify members of the group by their farts alone â RamÃrez-Mallis and his fellow farters compiled the recordings into a 52-minute âMaster Collectionâ audio file.

The top bid for the file is currently $183.

Individual fart recordings are also available for 0.05 Ethereum, or about $85 a pop. The gassy group has so far sold one, to an anonymous buyer.

âIf the value increases, they could have an extremely valuable fart on their hands,â he said.

I'll buy that for a dollar.

The value of this art is all hot air.

A Brooklyn-based film director is simultaneously mocking and attempting to profit off the cryptocurrency craze for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) by selling a year’s worth of fart audio clips recorded in quarantine.

“If people are selling digital art and GIFs, why not sell farts?” Alex Ramírez-Mallis, 36, told The Post of his dank addition to the blockchain-based NFT market.

His NFT, “One Calendar Year of Recorded Farts,” began incubating in March 2020 when, at the beginning of the global coronavirus lockdown, Ramírez-Mallis and four of his friends began sharing recordings of their farts to a group chat on WhatsApp.

The top bid for the file is currently $183.

Last night the house smelled like garlic and curry. This morning it was bacon. Yummy.

and everywhere i go i smell ganja

I smelled ganja last night through the window (or so I thought), then as is grew soooo much more pungent, I realized it was a skunk.... we get them in the courtyard sometimes. No matter how fast I shut the window, that smell lingered so long and I needed a Silkwood shower before bed.

The refrigerator defrosting thanks to PG&E and their ridiculous "weather events". OMG, it's 68Ë, with high humidity and the wind is almost blowing! Watch out for spontaneous forest fires! Fuckers. Guess I'll watch another episode of gunsmoke on my ipad. Glad I paid for extra memory. Festus! What a freak!

We usually hold out until late October but 3 out of 4 in this house brought home some nasty bug from school so I gave in and fired it up a couple of weeks ago. Ah, the smell of burning spiders!

I thought you heated your house with people and critters

It's enough, sometimes. And sometimes with the house shut up tight, it's necessary to fire up the furnace just to flare off some methane.
