I'm hopeful.

That should be "people who smell like fish."

/grammar patrol

Like subby's Mom?

She slipped.

I'm guessing these people are popular with lesbians.

What's missing is exactly what chemical causes the "dead fish" smell. That'd be nice to read about.

Demetrius: Only two things in this world that smell like fish.

And one of them is fish.

Demetrius, go away

What, you don't get Wikipedia (new window) on your internets where you're at?

"Trimethylaminuria (TMAU), also known as fish odor syndrome or fish malodor syndrome,[1] is a rare metabolic disorder that causes a defect in the normal production of the enzyme Flavin containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3).[2][3] When FMO3 is not working correctly or if not enough enzyme is produced, the body loses the ability to properly break down trimethylamine (TMA) from precursor compounds in food digestion into trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) through a process called N-oxygenation. Trimethylamine then builds up and is released in the person's sweat, urine, and breath, giving off a strong fishy odor or strong body odor. The odor is not necessarily fishy, and the type of odor can vary from time to time. In that sense, the alternate names referring solely to a fishy odor are misnomers."

Soap?

The citizens of Innsmouth do not approve of this research.

I saw this on TV last night. A pretty lady was talking about how she had to quit her job as a teacher and had been made fun of her whole life because of this problem. Apparently the people who have it can't tell when they're stinking (it comes and goes depending on their diet), and since it's very rare, she didn't know what was wrong for years.

Now she's on some kind of diet that looks like it would be no fun at all. but she was very happy because her odor went away.

Are you sure? It would certainly cut down on their deodorant expenses. Besides, I'm not sure how long that 'I just ate a hoagie' excuse is going to fool those vacationing professors from Miskatonic University.

Q What did God say after Eve took her first swim in the ocean?

A: How the hell am I gonna get that smell off the fish?

I coulda been a fisherman. Fishermen, they get up. They fish. They sell fish, they smell fish. Reminds me of this girl I used to go with, Yvonne...she smelled like fish.

When I was in grade school, there was one girl who absolutely reeked of fish. It was horrible. No, it wasn't her lady parts stinking, it was skin and hair. No, i didn't sniff her vagina for confirmation of the smell source. Just trust me here guys her skin stunk like fish badly! The other kids pretty much ostracized her, especially when we got to middle school.Once the teacher asked her to leave the room because she smelled like trout so badly. When she was outside the room crying the teacher told us that if anyone can't tolerate her smell then tell her and she would have fish-smell girl to leave. That actually happened several times, usually my buddy Larry was the one asking the teacher to make her sit outside. I always wondered what the hell was wrong with her, I always thought that it was something more than just hygiene. I mean she would have likely taken a bath rather suffer all the teasing. Also, she didn't smell like Body Odor or old sweaty socks, she smelled like the Long John Silvers dumpster. If going to middle school smelling like a bait and tackle store wasn't bad enough, she had a lisp to top it off. I felt bad for her.

So a douche?

Who the hell smells like Abe Vigoda, other than Abe Vigoda?

I once worked with a woman who suffered from something like this. When ever she came under even the
least amount of stress she started to smell bad. To make matters even worse she was
allergic to some chemicals commonly found in deodorants and perfumes.

Still no cure for the Innsmouth Look

Still no cure for people that smell like ass.

OH, I thought they said TAMU

Does that mean I can stop taking baths in lemon juice and vinegar?

I feel bad, but at the same time I've been exposed to smelly people and just wanted them gone.

I called the rope store, but they are sold out.

Time to drink.

Um... $36,000 for research is NOT a medical breakthrough, dumbporter.

/ CSB: A guy with TMAU worked for the MoveOn.org campaign in Boston in '06. Only we staff and the most die-hard volunteers would stay after he came in, and you could smell him coming from down the hallway.

// Glad I know what his disease was called now.

I wonder where that fish has gone.
You did love it so. You looked after it like a son.
And it went wherever I did go.
Is it in the cupboard? Wouldn't you like to know? It was a lovely little fish.
And it went wherever I did go.
Where can that fish be? It is a most elusive fish!
And it went wherever I did go.
Ooooh, fishy, fishy, fishy fish!
A-fish, a-fish, a-fish, a-fishy, ooooh.
Ooooh, fishy, fishy, fishy fishia
that went wherever I did go

AssAsInAssassin: That should be "people who smell like fish."

Maybe subby doesn't believe that trimethylaminuriacs are people.

Subby, you intolerant ass, stop committing hate crimes.

LOOOOOOOOO-HANNNNNN!

Oh man, that is sad.

Just imagine the life ahead. Farking people.

Oh and I forgot to tell the other things that made her existence unbearable. One day I was sitting in Science class right next to her and she puts her head down and starts balling her eyes out. Her personality had always been a little weird so I wasn't shocked by this but I was curious what was going on. Eventually she whispers to the teacher about her problem, then everyone starts to figure it out....everyone but me. Two of the popular girls went and sat down right next to her, they put their hands on her back, tried to comfort her and promised that they would escort her out of the room while walking right behind her so nobody would see. Now, if Jennifer and Stacy were so concerned about her that they were willing to suspend their cruelty even briefly then I knew something serious was going on. Thats right, she had her first period right in the chair. Bloodied it up and everything. Nobody had explained menstruation to me so I was perplexed. One of the nerdy girls I was friends with later gave me a high level overview of female physiology using hand gestures and 7th grade slang.

Shortly after this event, some people were teasing her and she lost it. She started screaming jibberish and throwing everything she could get her hands on. She threw desks even. At first I thought she was trying to be funny. My best friend Matt told me not to laugh and said that she was having a nervous breakdown and that his mom had one a few years ago. The next day the principle made her apologize to the whole class the next day. I felt more bad for her that day than any other day because I knew her behavior was a product of years of abuse.

I'm putting way too much thought into this.

Just like the blind guy walking past the fish shop, who always said, "mornin ladies...."

trimethylamine. I learned this fun fact because I work on a bacterium that can respire (bacteria breathing) trimethylamine-N-oxide. After accepting electrons in an analogous way to the way we give electrons to oxygen, you get trimethylamine. It doesn't just smell like fish, it smells like rotting fish. Makes me real popular on the hall when doing the assays.

Same enzyme can reduce dimethylsulfoxide to dimethylsulfide, which smells like rotting cabbage.

/CSB

I worked at a Radio Shack in high school. There was one customer who infrequently (thank Jeebus) came in who smelled like he had just rolled in shiat. It would bring tears to your eyes to be around him more than a few minutes. He was always dressed very neatly and appeared otherwise clean, so we kinda figured it was a medical issue and tolerated it as best we could.

Glad to hear it.

$36,000 grant seems like a really small chunk of money for any serious research to be done. You'd have to "Real Genius" some college kids into doing all the work for you at that price point.
