Even if a dirty guy
like you likes to
shower every day.

Anythin' s makin' ya wet in the recent time.

Except for yr
dinky head.

It is not supposed to. Off the meds again?

Off with his head
is what I meant.

U-nick 'em once
and it's never
the same agin.

Cutting statement.

I feel beheaded.

Nuttin' you'll miss...

I'll say " What is Milky Way" for $100 Bob.

For Le Pape d'Absinthe, it does exist.

Close up.

HOLY FUCK!

What he said.

Where'd you find that?

I head about it from the owner.

You'd be surprised what is lurking out there off the internet. Other than old bald internet predators.

I like the 13 cent
tax stamp.

Does that lower
left panel say-
"Serve in a small
glass MYSTERY WORD
free of ice."

Waddufuck is the
mystery word?

Actually, various and
sundry closeups of the
whole label would be
lovely.


Since fucks are already
jerkin' off over it.

erf . . .

yeah, what he said.

So, how's it taste?

Strained?

The man of mystery words
knows what the mystery word is.

It looks clear to me that it's Strained.

If only it were filled, it would be perfect for PreBanFest.

Well, I strained,
butt couldn't read
it.

The Lounge, where wet dreams come true.

Absinthe Anisette

Other than for the Absinthe Anisette option, it was normally prepared without sugar. Natch.

I'll have more information on all this old junk, after I finish training the new Imp.

Sweet.

Nice looking dog too.

How old is he?

The new Imp is 11 weeks old, he's still in the Baked Potato with legs stage.

I wish you many happy memories together.

You can't put "opalize"
on a bottle now.




Nobody'd know what the
fuck it meant.

And congrats on
the pup!

He's a little sweetie.

Thanks!

He has some big paw prints to fill.

Very nice!

whew, that took awhile.

You rock!

Damn, baby!

Kirk Frenay?
Far out!

Finally, grate, Kirkenstein

They look very nice. May I ask what was wrong with the regular silver? What was wrong with the surface texture.

If you don't care to answer, if it's too much work, etc. That's fine. I just get curious.

Sterling silver is traditionally an alloy of 925 parts silver and 75 parts copper.
Heating the alloy to any useful degree creates a layer of surface oxide called fire scale. A highly polished piece of silver has this layer removed through abrasion. The abrasive process removes much of the detail.
Sterling silver with germanium has the same 925 parts silver but a small part of the additional metals is germanium. Germanium allows a more stable alloy system with little to no surface oxide left over from casting and forging.

Makes sense, cool! Thanks for the info!

Kirk.

Bravo!

The pictures don't do them justice.

A little label that crossed my desk, for July in NOLA.

1958-1961

Not done, but I had to show it:
