Penn State Perfume?

[Funny, I would've gone with Old Milwaukee and stale pizza. And it's not like those things are lacking in Berwick. - RUTS]

Now You, Too, Can Smell Like Penn State
BERWICK, Pa. (AP) ― Fans of Penn State can smell like the school for just $60. A fragrance developer says it has made a perfume and a cologne inspired by Pennsylvania State University's blue and white colors and its campus vegetation.

Masik Collegiate Fragrances says the perfume for the school in State College, Pa., smells of vanilla, lilac, rose and white patchouli. The cologne smells of blue cypress and cracked pepper.

The company's president says the 3.4-ounce bottles of fragrance should appeal to Penn State's vast alumni and football fans.

Masik also has captured the smell of the University of North Carolina, and plans to offer scents for six other universities next year.

Obviously

This guy has never walked down Calder Way at 1 AM on a Saturday night.

Campus vegetation?

Forgive me, but I spent too many cold mornings walking around campus ID’ing leafless plants around campus for HORT 137 and 138. I can’t let this one go…

vanilla = tropical plant
lilac = grows there
rose = grows in the area, but I’m not aware of any place on campus
white patchouli = another tropical plant, unless you’re making a hippie dreadlock tie-in
blue cypress = a subtropical plant
cracked pepper = yet another tropical plant

Sounds like these guys are blowing smoke up our STOP THE PRESSES.

What about...

…the semen trees? You know, those trees that, when blooming, apparently give off that odor? I’ve personally never taken a whiff, but a girlfriend of mine used to claim thats how they smell.

And there’s the bushes that smell like cat piss, with the red berries.

Your girlfriend,

who is intimately familiar with the smell of semen, sounds hot.

Ex-girlfriend

She had big hips and large legs, but was pretty in the face. And up until we broke up, was only familiar with me.

Regardless, I traded up with my wife. WAAAY better looking. I won’t be letting her go to the bathroom at the Beaver without my strict supervision.

lol at Iowans ruining their lives

If they had just let us win, then perhaps the team would have been more demoralized and wouldn’t have put up such a great showing against Minnesota. That’s what happens when you beat Penn State and JoePa: your wife screws another guy in the bathroom, loses her job over it, and otherwise ruins your lives. Take notice, USC!

Timez 2 show my skillz

Semen trees = Bradford Pear. Awful, awful trees. Overused and snap with the slightest gust of wind. The cheapest tree on the market, which is why they are popular.

Cat pee bushes = Yew shrubs. Everywhere around West Halls and the Pattee library. Quit shoving your nose in them.

All Bradford Pears Should Be Destroyed

I swear to god if I have to clean up one more damn tree from my front yard back home I’m gonna go on a rampage.

um

seeing as the trees are in your yard, I think the decision to destroy them is up to you…just sayin’ (of course there’s probably some town ordinance where you live that you have to get clearance, just to stick it to you and to protect the precious Bradford Pears)

I would love to

But it’s my parent’s place back home and my parents just really want big trees in the front yard, unfortunately when those trees get big the wind doesn’t pass through them well and they snap. It’s a pain.

Guilt them into removing them.

If you hurt yourself in the front yard, blame the trees.

If you don’t go home to visit, blame the trees.

If you get an STD, blame the trees.

stupid slutty trees

I never should have trusted her. Also, what was with all the bushes around the bottom?

by The JuggerNitt on Dec 2, 2008 12:50 PM EST up 0 recs

I hate

those damn trees around campus!

It's easy to see what they are doing

Throw some crap in a bottle, slap “Penn State” on the front, and watch Nittany Nation eat it up.

in their defense

they did also say “inspired by the colors”, of which blue lilacs, blue cypress, white vanilla, and white patchouli would be blue and white. Roses grow around there, and then cracked pepper…well that’s kinda like crackers and we all know how white Penn Staters are (with some “pepper” dashed in here and there)…um yeah…I still don’t really get the cracked pepper reference.
