Once again, Kirkenstein is right on the money... Or lack of it.

He obviously meant "what would you declare it is worth?" - nothing to see, just move along.

WiFi jitters cause double post...

DT shakes cause mine.

you got my support.

i promise not to buy anything from them.

CEEGEE!!!!!


Gimme a hug.

bump.

Not even close to being over...

It has started?

Nobody noticed then.

Um, huh?

What the fuck is going on here, Sock?

I'm busy boycotting Markus.

Keeps the nose to the grindstone, does it?

Markus makes xit.

So does Bugnon.

I'm boycotting everyone...









by default. I'm too poor to buy anything but Lucid.

Jade is $110 a bottle plus shipping. Never again at that price.

Yeah, it is getting kind of ridiculous.

Kinda?

It would even be ridiculous if Ted got rid of the Jade funk and made it taste a bit like vintage.

Ha!

But, like that's
gonna happen.

Now Helfrich's stuff is a different story. Sadly, I can't get any because of my Markus boycott.

I dunno who
the fuck makes
wha' the fuck
anymore.

I'm in the Dinky
boat, as I can't
afford it anyway.

It's easy to finger out who makes this one:

Absint? Is that any good?

At least with that label stuck on the bottle.

In a small brown bottle next to an identical bottle containing a sample of PF1914, some people can get confused .

By the way, if it says "Rijneveen" on a bottle, it's an old one for which Helfrich is responsible for the recipe but not entirely for the absinthe; the current "distillery" (large room with a small still, really) is Helfrich's own in Oirsbeek.

Fucking brilliant.

Heard that story.
Fookin' hilarious.

And we wern't even drunk.

I'd like to try the Helfrich.

There should be a workaround for that...

You should persuade Claude-Alain to stock it!

But it isn't "suisse". It's an exact reproduction of the Dutch tangerine tinged absinthe released by Hennekens in 1853.

That name will haunt me forever.

After a day of filling and labelling bottles by hand you'd painfully realize that the pot ain't that frickin' small.

Hey, why do you call my picturesque, half-timbered cottage in the hills a "large room"? Are you out of your mind?

He's here, ain't he?

He's here, ain't he?

Probably because all we ever see is pics of a large room with a small still.

Onacuz I'm not your private Alan Moss. You can do your own marketing .

By the way, now that you've said it's in the Netherlands on a hill you've pretty much given directions to it should anyone want to visit. Fortunately, you didn't say it was on a Hill (Radomir or other).

Yes, we have quite some Hill's and related swills here, but only about one hill... with me on top of it -- and a tiny alembic.

In a large room.

I'm glad that's settled.

Holland ain't
hoppin' w/hills?

Hill's has hops?

It'll make ya
hop to the sink
or toilet.

You make that sound totally naughty.

He said private.
Not private's.

But he was talking about Helfrich's nether region, or was he still talking about the size of de stijl?

Xort subjects,
both, I'd wager.

Extremely Xort. I still need to get out of my own nether region. There's a time for everything.
