Not nearly. It is hot looking and would have been a bitchin' combo if not for the opamps and tacking on parts.

Further to the manly drinks... Hulk Whiskey Smash! Dissolve 1 tsp of sugar in a similar amount of water, add several sprigs of mint, SMASH! mint until flavour is extracted. Draw out the sprigs of mint, add one wine glass (2oz) of whiskey (or brandy or whatever, depending on what kind of smash you are making), shake or stir well, and pour into wine glass half full of ice, then decorate with fruits in season. Simple and surprisingly tasty. Hulk like!

Seeing as I double-posted, here is a manly drink! Navy Grog Arghhh! The recipes were annoyingly inconsistent with the three simple ingredients posted on the Anvil List and I was shy of grapefruit juice or grapefruits, so I went with a combination of the classic Don the Beachcomber recipe and a more streamlined version. Plus I wanted to make more drinks tonight so I went from 1oz of each rum to .75oz. .75oz Goslings Black Seal .75oz Ron Zacapa .75oz Appleton Estate V/X .75oz honey syrup (2:1 honey:hot water) 1.25oz lime juice Shake and strain onto new ice with garnish and top with club soda, if you please. No scurvy in these here parts!

Anvil Action Singapore Sling from the Raffles Hotel "recipe" which is really an ingredients list that Regan turned into a recipe and added the appropriate soda. 2 ounces Bluecoat gin 1/2 ounce Heering cherry liqueur 1/4 ounce Triple Sec 1/4 ounce Benedictine 2 ounces pineapple juice 1/2 ounce lime juice 2 dashes Angostura bitters Soda water (optional) Shake all but the soda with ice and strain into collins glass with new ice and top with soda. Used highball glasses with straw spoons but ran out of time for garnish of orange/pineapple/whatever.

You're amazed because it is amazing. Cool stuff.

That looks like a party, Mike! What can you cut with that wooden knife, Greg?

Hurray for double posts!

Get it out of there!

Catching up after hosting too many New Year's events: Good luck on tenure, Jim. I too think it is a lock! I hope you ca tune out your mom while she is on a downer, Jacob. Just focus on other stuff like getting well enough to travel. Have fun in the snow, Pete. The kids must be loving it! Good luck with the hearing, Mike. Plead ignorance! Hope you're finally feeling better, Nate, and that the family cycle of sickness has run its course.

There's a reason the French are known for their wines.... Near my in-laws is a dive called Dick's Pourhouse. We should do a tour of bars called Pourhouse some year.

Have a great one fellas! Cheers!

You carry your years well, Brian. Have a great one! Cheers

Happy birthday you "football" lover, you! Cheers!

Jitter in the Shitter in 2011!

You need to find the old ones to save your father from disappointment. They could go bad, you know.

Fuck! I hate that fucking cunt Ben Gramain!

Hope you had a great one Steve! Looks like it was a fun party. Cheers!

Happy Birthday Chris! May all your audio dreams come true.... Cheers!

Shame on you indeed, Ian. Fishski has botched up the rules and has included albums not released this year. I have not posted in protest while waiting for you to initiate the proper "Best albums of 2010" thread. Furthermore, your lack of posting in the WAYLTN thread has caused me to miss Zo

For Knuckles: I got a DJ Lance Rock Dunny in my stocking for Christmas. I thought it would make you smile somehow.

It's a trap! [/Akabar]
