Love the new bio
and grille description.

you sexy bitch, you.

I'm getting "Grilled" tonight.

done any grille-ing lately?

Hee!
Kirk, I can so hear your voice in that bio.
Bongos, too.
Mostly your voice, though.

I'm used to bios that posture a lot
and proffer bullxit in the place of information.
The point of them seems to be
to cram as many words together as possible
without actually forming any conclusive statement
the author could be held accountable for later.

Yours is different.
It gives a strong sense of you.
I like it a lot.

Drat,
I wish I could create something... other than hangovers.

Don't forget havoc.
And messes.

The hangover thing can be an art form in itself.

The Master Model for Gertz, anyone want it?:

doesn't gertz?

I imagine he does ,
but he's Scottish.

i'm sure you've heard this many times before, but....

huh?

I mean , I think he might ,
but I doubt he'll send me a bottle for it.
Sorry about the racist slur there big guy .

bastard.

and


p.s. i took a couple of pictures of the one you sent me.
i received some very good samples and thought it would be a perfect time to break in the old grille. i use the old archaic "film", and have yet to develop it.

That looks like some form of torture device.

I may need one!



Film? I had some of that on the surface of the NS70 I ordered during an irrational moment.

Real film beats digital ,
on an atomic level ,
Digital is a different game ,
it will never be as clear as a 35 mm (or bigger) slide ,
but it has some immediate uses in the "Artificial Paradise"

W@W, Kirk!!!!!

Yet another gorgeous piece.....

and i'm sure he'll trade for same.

feelin' sexy?

Not at the moment.

hmm well.

i'm betting that kirk isn't one to discriminate.

is your stomach well enough that you could lie naked spread-eagle, or possibly kneel and make an O with your mouth?

might just do the trick and most likely will be over before you can say "uuunghherh"

Thanks CG - I needed that laugh....

laugh?

don't hurt his feelings, you bitch!

Awwww......Kirk knows I love him.

They don't call me quick Kirk for nothin' ,
Celty.

I heard they don't call you at all.

Kirk is the man. Beautiful work!

I love the new leaf photo.
You talented fuck you,
not with camera, no,
but with the metal.

OK Kirk you metalurgical genius.
How about something like this... only more ornate.
It's gotta have the swiss cross.

I was gonna ask Kirk too.

Oh, yeah!!

I love the workmanship in the elephant and the green man. Absolute beauty. Personally though, I'm a bit more of a "traditionalist" and that swiss cross would be awesome!

I do like the way it clips onto (down into) the glass,
probably splatters less too.
I would like to make one that does that ,
but doesn't look like that.
The problem with a lot of the older designs (for me)
is that the holes are too big ,
the sugar falls off the edge or through the holes before it's
completely dissolved.
If the sugar dissolves properly ,
there's no need to stir ;
I hate dipping a spoon in my glass.

Peter has asked me to make the official Jade- the only REAL Burnt™ absinthe grille ,
it will have the Fleur de lys on it ,
and will be like the grille we are discussing (clip on).
I will also do one that is like the Green Man in foliage except with the Jade- the only REAL Burnt™ absinthe logo in the center.
Has anyone else noticed the G.M. In Foliage is almost identical to the Jade- the only REAL Burnt™ absinthe N.O. label?

Now I do.

That's fantastic, Kirk.

I used the Elephant grille last night and the sugar dissolves completely. Couldn’t ask for better function in a absinthe grille.

I was using my Gertz Grille last night ,
made me smile.
I think there might be three Jade- the only REAL Burnt™ absinthe grilles ,
the two I just described ,
and a third ;
third world production ,
that will be more affordable.

Not until now,
that's fantastic news Kirk,
good luck.

Damn, now I gotta go work some overtime so I can place an order for some tradin' bottles. Greenman grille and Fleur-de-lis. Price still one bottle each?

The Jade- the only REAL Burnt™ absinthe one will probably be an L.D.F. exclusive kind of thing ,
don't know what the price will be yet.
I will still trade you the Green Man In Foliage fora bottle,
at least until you (if you ) see it at L.D.F.
then , as with the Artemis ,
I won't compete with him.

Watch it, Kirk.

You have competition.

I second that!

Not even fucking close.........

LDF is trying to put the genie in the bottle....or ummm, over the glass that holds the stuff that was in the bottle, errr, well, you know what i mean...thanks kirk for sharing your talent...

Kirk has distilled the essence from what he has seen in vintage grilles, and used it to create his own particular style that is in one sense a distillation of the basic principles of function and art. He has produced a form of functional art that is both new and without equal in the absinthiana of his contemporaries or in the past.

And he's fun to hang out with.

But when will he make a devil spoon with holes big enough to put M&Ms through? HMMMM?

You just wanted to say distill. (period added for Grey Boy)

No but for you I’ll say "Asshat".

Distill what?
Or is that the end of your sentence?
