What's a calitas and what does it smell like?

[damo]

Other than warm?

I smelled one once at the Hotel California. I checked out but I couldn't leave.

I just couldn't get over how we just can't kill the beast....

Got me to go back to the misheard lyrics website with this one. Here are my favorites for that line:

Four parapalegics rising up through the air
I once met a policeman rising up through the air
I said the pledge of allegiance rising up through the air
One smell of the leaked gas rising up through the air
The smell of burritos rising up through the air
One Spanish policeman rising up through the air

Of course, my absolute favorite line is "Then she lit up a Ken doll and she showed me the way"

The Smell woke me up in the middle of the night!

Oh, here's a quote from some website:

>This E-mail just in from Eagles management honcho Irving Azoff: "In response to your [recent] memo, in 1976, during the writing of the song 'Hotel California' by Messrs. Henley and Frey, the word `colitas' was translated for them by their Mexican-American road manager as 'little buds.' You have obviously already done the necessary extrapolation. Thank you for your inquiry."<

Colitas=Little butts.
Colita=Little Tail
Colitas/Colillas=Cigarrette butts.

You can stab it with your steely knives

 

[Rowena]

Colitas smell sorta like patchuli oil....

Earthy smell...to be kind.

"we are programmed to receive...."

 

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

Ohhhh!!!!! In the immortal words of Emily Litella "ohhhhh, that's different..." : when I was a teenager, I looked it up in my Spanish-English dictionary - I thought they were saying "galletas" which are little cakes....."never mind!" Oh , the naivete of youth!

 

[Stitch Inside]

Some dance to remember.

 

[Tiggerkeeper]

Some dance to forget.

We haven't had that spirit here since 1969

This thread reminds me...when I was a senior in High School, some art students (me included) were picked to paint a mural in the gym. Well, they left us unsupervised for the entire art period, so a friend and I went behind the bleachers and painted on the wall:

"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave."

We thought we were soooo cool and worldly!

I wonder if our little act of rebellion is still there...
