It's about time for me to head to Sephora (or to the discounters on Canal Street) for another cologne purchase. Last year I asked the female readership of the site to pick one for me, and, being women, they all had something different to say. I settled on Burberry Touch, to which I guess I owe a bit of gratitude, and, once again, you're encouraged to post a comment on your favorite.
I know which one I will not be getting, however: Donald Trump, the Fragrance.
Yep, the Donald has his own stench on the market, one that "contains citrus notes with hints of mint, cucumber and black basil." Being that I don't have a dead racoon hanging around the apartment to glue to my head and complete the look, I don't think I'll be partaking in this aromatic orgy of cucumber, basil and other things found in a kitchen.
In a series of radio ads I almost threw-up to, Trump boats that his funk "guarantees that a man can get any woman." He doesn't clarify what you can "get" said women to do. I'm guessing laugh uncontrollably.

The Internet will reestablish a more balanced, decentralized lifestyle."
• Bill Gates Gets 4 Million E-Mails a Day — No doubt that two million are related to Viagra and penis-enlargement pills. I'm thinking it might be kinda tough to sneak through that one legit e-mail telling Bill that happy hour is at 5:30 p.m. and not 5 p.m. (and that he's buying).

By the way, I'm playing in a co-ed adult dodgeball league starting in January. Sure to be among the top-five nerdiest things I've ever done, but I'm already working on a side-arm delivery and plan to keep track of hit rate, average speed on throws, and number of men doubled over with shots to the balls.

TRUMP fragrance....

But why would anyone buy my fragrance when they can just buy a bottle of Top Shelf tequila and pour it all over themselves.
Ya know Paul, He's opening the TRUMP Bar on 56th st. How much are those shots gonna cost!!!???
