This is not like the original, but.....

Sunday I dusted off the trusty ol' blender( actually, it is old it was my grandma's: 30plus yrs, heavy metal base, thick glass--whatchamacallit on top)

Added ice,poured in some UE Blanche and Deva 72 ( had to find some use for this stuff), squeeze in half a lime-----hit liquify and---Pour When done


A couple of these helped pass away a 90+ degree day


Though some of the day seems a little sketchy in remembering it!

Sounds Nice. It's getting to be Mint Julep season, too. Maybe I'll do a little a-spearmintin'.

The traditional way.

Damn, you really are cool.
How did you get that way? Inheritance , or natural?

The Julep

Here is one from captain Kirk:
Pour an indeterminate amount of any decent absinthe in a previously used water bottle,
Open the tap[ and let it run so that the water from the New River has a chance to shed any copper oxide from the plumbing that it may have picked up] and fill to
the top.
Then post cryptic xit that adds
up to the same old xit too a bunch of people whom you only now xit about.

xit.

God you're cute.
I am going to miss you.
Tell Mutton Head hi for me.

Hey - what about nuking absinthe???

I woke up this morning to find a full glass of absinthe in the microwave.

I just figured it was the latest craze.

Gonna have to remember to ask GB about that.

Fucked if I remember

Christ, that wagon is looking damned inviting right about now.

Bohemian microwave ritual.

Maybe GeyBoy was that chick that used to post at ABG?

I heard that Adolph and Joe are married and live in Arkansas.

Shhhh, Jack......
don't tell.

Damn it how did my previous post make it over here.

My drain must be bammaged.

I did a test and microwaved Emil 65 to burn off the alcohol, but it kind of evaporated. I was think an alcohol free absinthe would be interesting to try so you could still drive and go to work etc...
Just thinking about 85 percent that is going to be really harsh.

-Mary Jane

I wish I was thinking that clearly last night.
I think I wanted to melt the huge icecube I put in it.
But I don't remember.

I remember that twit . . . what'd she get told to do? Buy some Gert Strand essence and chug that?

What a dimwit. First she thinks absinthe is gonna get her high and make her hallucinate . . . then she wants it without alcohol so she can DRIVE?!

This sounds like the idiot at the ISGB forum. She asked if she could make beads by melting glass with a Bic butane lighter, and then anneal them in the oven of her Tappan range at 450 degrees for one hour.

I thought Bic lighters could only be used to melt diamonds, not beads.

I hate diamonds. Hey GB - where's my fuckin Rolex???

I melted it with my Bic.

get a room.

Anneal Diamonds?

I don't think you're kneeling in front of diamonds will accomplish much. Nor is it dignified.

Quote: "Anneal Diamonds?"



Anal Diamonds,............ one step up from ass peanuts™.

Diamonds don't need to be annealed, because they are the hardest substance on earth. Annealing is merely the process used to strengthen glass (among other things).

*sigh* I'm such a geek...

I got anal diamonds once, but then I learned not to be such a tight ass.

If you stick a lump of coal up GB's ass - you WILL get diamonds!

Glassy,

Neal Diamond's cool.
Something that is hard is brittle , annealing is the softening of a thing that has become hardened. Tempering is the reduction of hardness to a desired state.
Your annealing oven tempers more than strengthens your glass.

which reduces (not eliminates) stress points - thereby strengthening the glass.

Annealing is Tempering taken to extremes. They are the same process, although temperature and/or time are greater for annealing than for tempering (with regards to ferrous alloys, and yes I know, Copper is annealed by heating and quenching, and alumimium is hardened by heating).

Diamonds are carbon! Don't use your bic on them or they will burst into flames and turn into CO2!

Softening, hardening, quenching, heating...
What were we talking about?

I think I'll go have a cigarette.

I'm right behind you, sister.

Has BaaBaaDoc secured that second job yet?

I've devised my own moneymaking schemes.
I'm holding Zack the Wombat hostage until you pay up.

Wombat?

Yes, but Zack is yellow.


With an orange tag.

Sex.

Just like a woman, start talking dirty and they head for a cigarette break.

I guess I'm an annealer.




(by Kirk's definition)

TheGreenOne -

Diamonds are carbon but they won't burn unless you reach temperatures in excess of 1000F. A Bic can only reach about 500F unless you add a chamber and chimney to it.

Or use sugar. Then you quench it in Filterated Czeckerland Xit.

Don't you know anything about the Czeckerland method of annealing?

Wouldn't hurt it . Diamonds enjoy being quenched.
