Tried to tame "The VEG" to no avail

Excellent!

I haven't legitimately laughed out loud at a B&B post in a long time, but this one line did it. Yes, The Veg increased itself on its own volition. Wow, that's funny!

Yes, funny, and true. The Veg is not to be taken lightly, as I discovered long ago....

That Commercial, the voice...it did something to my Lilac Vegetal when I played it on the PC...

I looked in the shave den, and it was ALIVE! I ran to find something to defend myself with, and that's when I heard this awful screaming....

The Veg had grabbed my Clubman Bay Rum and poured it's life's blood out into the sink! The Bay Rum wailed in agony as the Veg Monster, awakened from it's dreadful slumber, murdered it!

Outraged, I poured a magazine load of .45 caliber leaden death at the hideous Lilac beast, but it seemed to have no effect....

The Creature angrily turned towards me, and I could feel the flowery, pungent odor of doom as it approached...In desperation, I plunged a bottle of vintage Shulton Old Spice in to the heart of the Vegetal beast, it gave a soul destroying final shriek, emitted a miasma of pleasant Lilac and stale litter box, and collapsed, killed by the pure goodness of Shulton Spiciness.

That was close!

Phil, be careful...when you toy with powers that are beyond the understanding of mortal men...Rock the Veg at your peril!

I think Lilac Vegetal is one of those fragrances that seems worse than it actually is. There's something off-putting about that salad accord that introduces the darned thing, but then you end up with a powdery lilac water, very retro and pretty bare. Reminds me of that Clint Eastwood movie, where he's sitting in the barber's chair with the apron on, and the shaking barber offers him some "lilac water" for, I can't remember, maybe it was a nickel more? Eastwood declines it and proceeds to blow some spinal cords apart before aborting his shave to tend to business. Eastwood has been known to be a stickler for details, and I can't help but think the lilac water moment reflects on the popularity of this type of fragrance in nineteenth century America. For that reason alone, I give the Veg a pass and feel it can stink as much as it wants. I simply will decline it as Dirty Harry did and be on my way.
