Two fingers of bourbon..

I have come to an impasse.. Any suggestion on safe transport of about $500 worth of liquor..

I tried reducing the load last night by going on a Rusty Nail binge.. but I passed out just prior to emptying half a bottle of Drambuie and Glen Moran...

My suggestion would be to go to your local liquor store and ask if the could spare a few boxes. I work at a wine and liquor and after stock day we have tons of extras that we don't mind giving away. They will already have cardboard dividers so the bottles should stay safe. The store might even have an extra wooden wine crate or two. There's no harm in asking.

Goddess bless you, m'dear!!!!

That's the prob... you get used to the best, others catch on, and then it's a sellers market.

To yer health... and to all those who have yet to taste a bit of heaven...

(takes light sip... eyes cross... look of nirvana appears on her face, a slight grin on her lips...)

Ahhhh... that fine peat reek!!

I like that... maybe it's because I use colored lexan bottles to store my booze out on the playa...

Red... Lessee... That'd be... Bacardi 151. Rum! (Of course - Red Rum!)

Takes another sip of the L stuff... Eyes close... dreamy expression appears...)

The only problem is I keep mixing up the clear ones filled with water, and the clear ones filled with Stoly. What a dilemma.

(raises glass and smiles)

I was going to say hi to the new guy, but looks like I'm alone.

Throat is getting scratchy again. Just might have something more than I thought. Or it could be post nasal drip.

(synchro slips in, pours three fingers of Patron, and writes in the dust on the bar. "Sput - try the ginger tea" Slips a quart in the reach in, and slides into the shadows.)

I meant to get ginger tea, but didn't get to the store. I will tomorrow. Thanks again.

(Check the reach in!........ - Damn, reality camp.....)

Don't buy tea, unless you get it ready to drink in the morning. Buy a large hand of ginger root, slice it up - bark and all, add to a good couple of quarts of water. Boil for 45 mins to an hour. Add a dollop of honey while hot. Squeeze / pour in a big splash of lime juice. Pour in quart bottles and chill. Start on on one on the way to work and nurse at it til it's gone. Repeat as necessary.

Note: If it doesn't have a "burn" - you made it too weak.

Hey, Elemental... Somebody fitting that bill should drop in sooner or later. In the meantime I can offer you a porter? I’m just not good at mixing drinks... in reality camp or here.

I could do bourbon on the rocks? Or rum?

That’s about it really...

(goes over to a table and looks into the darkness)

Anybody else here?

(under the chair)

Blue???

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 9:28 pm

And thanks, by the way. It was getting stuffy in there.

Just getting ready to "test" a new sleeping bag before the MOOP Patrol weekend next week.. It is a cold night - turning the heat off, opening the window and checkin it out.. lol

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 9:55 pm

It sure does I have stopped spending much time in here since I seemed to be doing it primarily with only myself and I can do that anywhere.

How is your world E666?

my world is a topsie turvy tale of titilating torture

half of me is hellbent on preps for the Burn
the other is trying to figure out how to return to a primitive fashion of life without sacrificing its since of self...

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 10:41 pm

Oh ah sorry I popped out for a bit, the chasers still cold though thanks.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 10:43 pm

what are you seeking in a primitive lifestyle?

what aspects of self would you lose

Elemental666 · Post by **Elemental666** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 10:53 pm
