I recall Sprior's comment from last week stating that we spend far too much time here poking fun

No I didn't.

I was about to write about procrastination, but I'll do that later

I'm just busting your chops here, right? I can't help it-it's what I do.

It happens too much around here, it has to stop.
Yes, you did...[:'(]

Good call. I was about to write about indecision, but couldn't decide whether or not I should. Should I?

I realize, "busting one's chops" may not be intuitively obvious to some of our non-American THREAD brothers. I believe (please correct me) that the English equivalent may be, "having you on". Is 'having a go' at one the same? What's the Australian / NZ equivalent? Danish / Swedish translation?

"slagging" comes to mind...

That's the irony of language: it's only understandable when it doesn't make sense. [:'(]

Wouldn't that be ferrumphobia? The fear of things iron(y)? [:'(]

Wow! That's an impressive stretch, right there! Even for me. [:D]

Where else would scents be made, other than your head?

They're made in lots of places. They are detected in your head.
Nein, herr red planetarian. Scents (like sounds) are the neurologic input elicited by external stimuli and interpreted by one's brain / sensory organs. Antigens / esters / things that are frequently interpreted as scents are made in lots of places. Only one place makes scents (or sound)-your noggin. [:'(]

Nein - it depends on your definition - here are a few:
1. A distinctive, often agreeable odor. See Synonyms at fragrance, smell.
2. A perfume: an expensive French scent.
3. An odor left by the passing of an animal.
4. The trail of a hunted animal or fugitive.
5. The sense of smell: a bear's keen scent.
6. A hint of something imminent; a suggestion: caught the scent of a reconciliation.

Your definition seems to be #5. Note they now have chemical analyzers that will track scent - nothing neurologic about that.

Of course, you could say EVERYTHING is in your head, mr. solopsist. [:'(]

That same argument could claim that humans exist only in one's head. [:'(]
