    First one to answer this correctly wins a 30-sheet subscription to the Baker's culture site. I've contacted Charlie and Troy, and I have their blessing to give this away as a prize.

    What are the only two days of the year when there is not a major sporting event (NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL) in the US?

    The winner is the first person to post the correct answer to this thread.

    the day before and the day after the Major League All-Star Game

    I will donate my winnings to the first person that I judge has best described the sweet aroma of the average Angraecoid.

    No Tracey.

    Good guess, MrBreeze. People line up and start describing the aroma of *gag* angs.

    Why are you using only the pro leagues? The GATORS always have a major sporting event going on, even if it's intermural sports.

    LOL.

    I faintly remember how A. leonis smells but every time I try to type it out, I start crying...

    You heard about my leonis, right?

    What's wrong with your leonis, Clark? Hell, you can grow and bloom it!

    The aroma of an average Ang. I am going to have to go with a blend of clove, mint, allspice and cream. Oh yea, and white.

    I think the initial question was sexist. Who do I complain to around here? :D

    Angs smell like heaven on Earth, it's as simple as that.

    Mary Jane is close....very close. No doubt from spending hours lounging about hoisting brews while the seductive scent of leonis hung in the air...

    Correct! But you cheated. Cheaters never win, therefore you lose.

    Chris is the only one who actually expressed a desire for the sheets.
    But Mary Jane actually got the closest without cheating.
    So, like David of Yore, I would take my sword and cut the sheets in half, giving some to each. But then again Chris would only squander them on floof and bulbos. Mary Jane really only needs the one on Ang leonis :poke:

    I hereby recuse myself from the judging of who gets the prize. I shall defer to Jon's poor judgement. :D
