Answers to Cusack Questions

I love John Cusack. For many years, I denied my love and instead layered strong hatred and disgust for the man on top of it. I'd say things like, oh John Cusack is so ugly, how does he keep getting such hot chicks (minus Laura from High Fidelity who sounds like she's deaf) (plus Kate Beckinsale in Serendipity, that's right... Serendipity. Fuck off). Well I'm done hating. The man speaks to me. He's a little squirrelly, sure, and his hair is sort of mulletty, but the man makes good movies. So now we'll say I'm just a little skeptical of the guy but all in all we'll mark it as a guilty pleasure for the record books.

ANYWAY, moral of the story... This is mostly for Nums as he and I spent a few hours discussing the subject but I'm sure many of you D10ers and you Gutsies have had this question as well.

Question: In High Fidelity, Cusack makes a comment about Tim Robbins' "Patchouli Stink." What is Patchouli?

After finally figuring out how to spell it. Here's the wikipedia article. CUSACK!

A brief excerpt: In Europe and the US, patchouli oil and incense underwent a surge in popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, mostly among devotees of the free love and hippie lifestyles, since the pungent smell of patchouli is alleged to cover the smell of cannabis and body odor. It has also been used as a hair conditioner for dreadlocks


Until next time. Stay beautiful Gutsies. And keep those letters coming
