I'm Dave-El! From time to time, I have to do a blog post that is essentially a commercial for one of my blog's sponsors. As I've said many times before, presenting a high quality blog doesn't come cheap and neither does the shit I post here.
So advertising is, regrettably, a necessary evil.
Which may be more of an apt turn of phrase when you hear from our latest sponsor.

Scene: a dimly lit room with stone walls. Several shadowy figures move into the room, each clad in blood red robes. This appears to be some sort of sinister cult.
Cultist #1: Gather, my brothers. The moment is upon us. Is the altar prepared?
Cultist #2: Yes, it is.
Cultist #1: And the sacrificial blade?
Cultist #3: Sharp and ready.
Cultist #1: Then light the sacred candles.
Cultist #4: I am lighting the candles now.
Cultist #1: Excellent! For tonight we summon the forces of darkness to (sniff!) to deliver unto us (sniff! sniff!) deliver unto us....what the hell? Spencer?
Cultist #4: What?
Cultist #1: Is that...lavender?
Cultist #2: I was thinking it was more...jasmine?
Cultist #3: Are you sure? I was thinking more of a strawberry or honeysuckle...
Cultist #1: ENOUGH! The point is that we are trying the summon the forcers of darkness and our sacred candles smell like FLOWERS!
Cultist #3: Maybe more in the berry family.
Cultist #1: It doesn't matter! How can the great and terrible powers of evil take us seriously if our sacred candles smell like a woman's powder room?
Cultist #4: Well, what I'm supposed to do? You said get candles for the evil summoning ceremony so I did! It's not like there's...I don't know...an EVIL CANDLE STORE!!
Voice: Oh, but there IS!
All the cultists react with alarm.
Cultist #1: Who? What?
A thin man in a red suit with black hair and goatee steps out.
Man: Hi! I'm Bill Zeebub and I'm here to tell you about the one stop shopping source for all your candle needs when summoning the powers of evil: DAMN YANKEE CANDLE!

For Satanic sacrifices in the fall, might I suggest such malevolent aromas as.....

Paper Mill Potpourri and Summertime Asparagus Pee

A fifth cultist runs in.
Cultist #5: Guys, I'm sorry but the sacrifice ran away!
