joe vs. the volcano

so sometime towards the end of last year my fridge started getting a mild, but absolutely disgusting smell. i think defrosting it a few times in transit this past summer to eric's room, to eric's other room, and then finally to my room, has amplified said disgusting smell and it now stains anything i put in the fridge.....but only for short periods of time...it's reallyw eird. if i leave the door open the smell disappears...and i can't even figure out where it's from (as i stick my head into the mouth of hell). so eric cleaned it out with mr. clean when he gave it back....to no avail. i JUST cleaned it with fuckin PINE SOL.....and it still smells. i now have a swab sitting in it (the fridge is warm) soaked with pine sol and acetone hoping to make some noxious fumes that will kill everything i couldn't reach. we'll see...but i don't think it'll work.

my next plan of attack is either to spray everything with one of two thigs: listerine, or isopropyl (rubbing alcohol), soaking the place, and closing the door for a day to make a steaming cloud of flammable gasses to get into all the crevices, again, and kill whatever might be making this godawful smell. i just hope it doesn't catch on fire....but if it doesn't work i might just light the fucker on fire. burn it off, baby.

any suggestions? i don't think plain old baking soda will work 'cause there's definitely something CAUSING this smell...i have to get rid of that source. i mean, i gave it a GOOD cleaning, including pulling the insulation back and gettin' up in there, taking apart everything i could, shelves and stuff, and getting up in there too. i like getting on up in there, it's alotta fun.

this sucks.
