Oh god, what is that smell?

[WolfeMacleod]

Not wanting to bring the worst smell ever post back from the depths, I thought I'd enlighten you.
I have, without a doubt, discovered the worst smell. Ever

I have tanned leather with modern methods, and with urine over months periods of time. Reeks to high heaven.
I have boiled meat off road-kill for clean bone. I have smelled skunk up close, I have smelled sun-cooked road-kill Armadillo. I have smelled mushroom farms, decomposed people and animals, rotten egg, overcharged car battery, dead whale, diaper pail, rotting fish, bat guano, and paper-mills. I have smelt what a refridgerator smells like two weeks after the electricity's been cut...just after a shopping trip. I have smelt 3rd degree burn. I have smelled skanky ho-snatch.
I have smelled all manner of smelly stink.

This goes way beyond all those. And probably Vulture poop, too.
As I type, I sit with a bleach-covered towel around my face just to get rid of the smell in my nose. Toxic? I don't care right now.

What I discovered...in my fridge...was awful.
My wife - I love her to death - is a confirmed slob. Loves to buy food and let it rot. A few days ago, she questioned me about a "bad smell" coming from the kitchen. In the fridge. Yep...it stunk allright. I cleaned out some of her old food, but it wasn't any of those things.
I looked, but coulnd't find anything.
I just discovered, under the bobbom vegetable drawer, what could only be described as...something.
It was brownish, thick, genatinous. It had spots of mold on it. I was foul Unbelievably foul.
I was so foul that, upon it's discovery, I immediately began wretching for the next 20 minutes. Lysol - didn't help. Orange Clean - didn't help. Bleach - mostly didn't help. Nothing actually helped. As I sat there sopping up this mess, wretching into the trash, I cursed my wife for being such a slob and a wasteful person.
I fear one day, she'll inadvertently kill us.

Pardon me, I must go wretch some more.

i was wondering where that got off to...

If the sushine lasts here in the Pacific NW, you might consider rolling the fridge to the back yard...spray it down with with simple green, let it soak...then hose it out. Then leave it open, facing the sun, let momma nature work on things for a while. Safety tip...disable the latch, so the fridge could be pushed open from the inside. Newer fridges are a magnetic closure for child proofing.

I ordered some liquid ass, just to see how bad it really is.

it really is liquid ass. HORRIBLE, yet horribly entertaining.

good way to get even

How could it get to that point w/o stinking say, 50% as bad along the way? It was unnoticeable until just now?

Just wondering. I feel for you though, sounds awful.

Beats me. My wife noticed it a couple days ago, Saturday, I think,and I started looking for it then. We had a very busy weekend and wasn't able to get to everything at once.
Up till then, no funny smell at all.

That would be down two flights of stairs.

[stomachmonkey]

uhm, why'd you clean it?

I'd get a second fridge and padlock it. She eats from hers, you eat from yours.

Leave it in her car.

Killed a couple of rattlesnakes last year and froze them in the garage frig. Went camping for a week and came back and found the door had been left ajar and the frig shut down. 105 degree heat with two rattlesnakes is really, really, rank.
