Cheeky little Vixen.

[steve auvache]

There is this screaming coming from outside that sounds just like a
horny Vixen. Usually they get ignored and after a couple of minutes go
away.

This thing didn't stop. So, worried it might have been clouted by a car
or something, I went to investigate.

Sure enough there is this Vixen in the middle of the road screaming her
head off.

"Oi Fox, ****ing pack it in will you, I am trying to have some quality
time with my computer," says I.

Bold as brass she walks halfway up the path towards me, mumbles
something in fox, turns brush and ambles off.

Foxes today eh, you just can't tell them can you.

You sure it wasn't Sir Tony's mum?

Big? Fat? Smelt of wee? [1]

Christ, you are *not* kidding ... ponged even after we'd bathed her.

Twice.

BTDT (well my dog has) & yep, it's enough to make you cut your nose
off. Easily the worst thing I've ever smelt (smelled?).

Nah. What you need is a summer student job on the dust. The bin out the
back of the fishmonger that smokes his own fish leaves fox poo in the roses
category. I swear there was nothing but maggots in that bin....the whole
surface was moving.....

That honour, in my book, goes to skunk.

Even when you drive over the place on the road one got run over 8 weeks
ago (they open their glands on being shocked/run over, bless em) it
still mings. Utterly rank smell too ... sort of sweaty armpit + bad fart
+ sulphurous off egg + Sir Tony's mum = horrific pong.

"student" & "job" in the same sentence? What a quaint notion ;-)

I've not had the pleasure of skunk - or Sir.Twatty's mum for that
matter. Ewww - put me right off me Rioja you have :-/

Soz, but even allowing for my much-quoted ability to tell a tale, you
really haven't done pong til you've smelt 6-8 week old skunk whiff.
What's worst is it's *better* after 6-8 weeks of dissipation ... newly
laid will make you puke on contact, and if you doubt me please bear in
mind bigger and nastier folk than you or I have been reduced to the
level of puking idiots by the stuff. Hey ... there's an idea for
"Jackass" :)

My dad even named a section on the Susanville road "skunk alley", coz no
matter when you drove it, it always reeked of skunk. I haven't smelled
that smell in 20 years, but I'm fairly confident I could pick it out of
a police smell-up from outside the building.

My step-brother (very chilled, ex Nam (3 tours, so he's seen blood &
snot), manic hunter; gave up guns when it got too boring, switched to
bows) once had to chin a mate cold after he got squirted at close range
while edging through scrub ... the geezer was apparently perfectly happy
to off himself after a couple of hours whiffing like skunk, way away
from help, up in the boonies. Quoth my bruv "he was getting damn
excitable, and waving that thirty aught six around in all our faces, and
I've been there myself, and after a couple of hours without solvent to
wash off you tend to get a mite aggressive, so I made him lay down for a
while. Poor bastard's gonna smell bad for at least 3 months. Longer, if
he don't wash every day"

*Nothing* clings like skunk. You can wash, you can scrub with solvents,
but there's always a faint whiff, even weeks later.

I thought tomato juice got rid of it, but I've never had to try...

There are ****loads of options. None, IME, get rid of the whiff
entirely.

Ah, here's another attempt at a removal method:

http://lavplourde.tripod.com/skunk/

Bet it doesn't completely remove it though.

Fortunately, both my dad's gun dogs (2 x yellow labs), and my step-
brother's (2 x Newfoundland/lab cross) got sprayed at an early age and
decided they didn't like it *at all* ... the nightmare is that some dogs
don't seem to mind the smell (you'd think they'd be more pissed off,
given their sense of smell is so acute) and will actively chase and kill
skunks because they put up quite a fight if cornered.
