I would challenge at "raging", only I can't really remember what the sentence is and I'm far too lazy to go back and check, instead I'll make a valuable and hugely humorous contribution...

*BUZZ* 'active raging smelly, but'??? Does this make sense? Or should it be butt (as in the Americanism) or 'butt of a joke'? Going with the former, for the sake of continuity...

The "but" fitted in OK, I think the yet may have been a problem. For example the following could have been a continuation:
Bogart likes furry and sleek, but rather strangely impetuous furnishings to remind himself that he is not much more than a confused young musically devoid hetrosexually active smelly but oddly well washed elephant.
Admittedly it doesn't make much sense but it is gramatically (almost) fine. Changing "but" to "butt" ends the sentence...
