I'm proud.
Pride is a good thing--what s/he meant to say was hubris.
I'm reminded of Utah Phillips being chided by his daughter in the supermarket. She said "why can't you be normal?!"
Her godmother immediately rapped her rudely on the shins with her cane and responded "He IS normal, what you meant to say was 'average.'"
I would have rephrased this more simply... Boys are stinky.
i think it's an advertising slogan for a new one of those body sprays that are supposed to get you laid.
CONCEIT THE ODOM OF PEOPLE
I wonder if the author meant to say that the stench of mankind is pride, or if he meant that mankind should have pride in its stench.
This is very profound. I love it.
How dark the con of man..... where is Dan Brown when you need him?
I don't know about you, but if pride is the stench of mankind, then i'm proud of that stench.
Stench is just a great word... Let's form a gutter punk band called "Noxious Stench"
a somewhat propound, although grammatically incorrect statement. I like it.
Would have a totally different meaning if there was a comma after "pride".
Hm..sounds like something some wrote while getting hammered at the bar...because they thought it sounded brilliant and figured they had better write it down. I think of alot of things that are "the stench of mankind" but pride really isn't the first thing on my list.
Men are always proud of their stench.
"Pride cometh before a fall." So, no thanks.
This is just part of song written by the famed Canadian hardcore/screamo/labatts band Fish Gristle. The song is called "Dante's Liver" and the theme of the song is about the seven deadly sins. The main verse in the song goes something like this:
(The "sin" is screamed by the guitar player that has too many effects pedals and too many strings on his guitar and also by the bass player that no one is looking at. The rest of the line is being sang by the guy without a shirt on and holding the microphone at a 90 degree angle.)
1234....
PRIDE! The stench of mankind!
ENVY! What's yours is mine!
WRATH! Got an ax to grind!
SLOTH! A time to unwind!
GREED! Take whatever I find!
LUST! Wanna touch her behind!
GLUTTONY! You gonna eat that?
I appreciate neat printing such as that on this note. So true in it's simplicity
Isn't that the name of a U2 song?
I wonder if they meant: "Pride (is) the Stench of Mankind" or "(Take) Pride (in) the Stench of Mankind" ?
Ah, the words of a fellow Torontonian....
I took this two ways, depending on how you punctuate:
1. Pride: the stench of mankind
This means, of course, that pride IS the stench of mankind.
2. Pride the stench of mankind ( no punctuation).
Is this telling us (as members of mankind) to pride ourselves on our stench?
Funny thought.
Pride, the detergent??? I hate that smell.
funny. i was just discussing the egos of humans with my roommate last night and how it disgusts me.
What the bloody hell does that mean?
To stink, or not to stink, that is the question.
This message is confusing without punctuation. There is still a little part of me that wonders if i can get it printed on a shirt.
Turbo, I would just like to acknowledge that you have solved the riddle! The fact that the band is from Toronto just confirms it.
I thought I smelled something!
i'd say greed makes a worse stench.
Thinking in cirlces- i take issue with your disgust!
To me the only problem with ego is when someone doesn't have enough of it, and feels the need to bring others down in order to bring themselves up. You, the writer of this note (assuming a certain punctuation) and all the bigfoot-loving emo-listening xtian appologists are the ones with a goddamn ego problem. You all thinking i should let you slow me down or get in my way just cuz you're envious of my acheivement, that's where the problem is.
Do you realize that there are people building the biggest machine ever built in the history of mankind in Switzerland right now? A machine that may (theorectically) recreate the conditions occuring when the big bang happened. That's right, scientists are going to do the thing that xtians worship god for doing, do they have an ego problem? Does that disgust you?
Let me tell you, it blows my fucking mind and inspires me to get going on making what contribution to the understanding and pursuit of truth and human progress that i can, and i think THAT, my reaction to such information makes me, well, just plain a better person than you, and you and your useless disgust can just... fuck off.
Thanks, Rex. Now all I can see in my mind's eye is a Swiss Sasquatch with an emo haircut, riding on the back of a gigantic robot, all the while yelling, "Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!"
Dude, chill, this is supposed to be a fun website.

Flargy's a hoot! Lighten up, Rex.
for Rex's first comment, proving he is a visionary: http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/report_
ha!
Re: Rex's 2nd comment: Yes, disgust is, indeed, useless.
Propound ! That's absolutely hilarious ! I'm not being grammar cop .. I really think it is .
Turbo, is that true? if so, the note is now explained. at least for me, anyway.
and Rex, have you been reading dan brown's 'angel's & demons'? if so, i'm glad your ego is now boosted by telling us so. thump your chest and roar, you mighty tarzan.
Could it be -- that Rex is a judgenmental bi...[um youknowwhat].. ????
Yeah, but deodorant is abundant. So, it's all good.
Most of mankind does have a rather gross stench, but I can't say I take pride in that..
Rex, it's okay.
Really - it's okay.
P.S. It's really okay.
AMAZING!
where's Brock?
shit guys, i AM having fun.
Anyone else going with...GEORGE BUSH THE STENCH OF MANKIND ? Maybe the scourge of mankind is more like it....another whiskey on the rocks, please...
A hem-drenched pint of stink.
(Jesus, Jason, it's an anagram.)
I think I'm in love with Rex. Have been for a few posts now.
Is it a coincidence that this dopey note is in ALL CAPS?
midlife crisis: i see no anagram...
Hi Lori,
Pride the stench of mankind =
A hem-drenched pint of stink.
Not a great anagram, but the best I could do with online help (http://wordsmith.org/anagram/).
Also, I had a so-so anagram for Jesus, Jason etc., but I can't remember it now. Something about Ninja Sausages. :-)
thanks
