Excuse me young lady... but don't you have some dusting to do.... men
are
talking here... about alcohol.

Hardly a subject matter meant for your gender.....

Dusting? What's that?

Def.: a description of what I'll do to CM if he ever accepts my challenge
to a contest of alcohol imbibition.

Then he, too, can learn all about dusting furniture, along with the other
girlie-men.

Balderdash, you Belgian Cannuck. It must be all that dry, cold air up

giving you the misimpression that you have a tolerance for ethanol.

I'm basing my assumption on a lenghty study of Yankee drinking habits and

Balderdash....

Hey, that's my word, you plagiarist . . .

The hell you say.... I saw no copyright on it.

I prefer the taste of gasoline, kerosene, and whale vomit to Bacardi. No
sane rum drinker would be otherwise.

On this we concur

I've not tried Lamb's, but I have drunk Lemonhart, which is purported to
be
a better English rum of higher alcohol content.

Ah Hah!.... you dare question a rum you have not yet sampled!!! Heretic!
Lemonhart is not even in the same league as Lambs.... Lemonhart is a far
inferior rum.

A rite of passage in my
fraternity was for one's brothers to buy straight shots of 151 proof
Lemonhart rum upon one's 21st birthday, either until the birthday idiot
passed out or cried "uncle." I drank 25 shots before ending up face down
on
the floor, after which they took me to the local horsepistol and had my
stomach pumped, which was entirely unnecessary as it seemed to be purging
itself quite nicely in the car. I still haven't forgiven the *******s for
using MY car.

I was 15 shots neat into my bottle of Lambs while replying to your posts....

None of the above. Today, a mature man of . . . well, never mind . . .
I'm
fully capable of imbibing mass quantities of ethanol-bearing fluids with
relative impunity. Provided I drink straight liquor and eschew mixers,
especially those of a sugary nature, I can absorb a surprising quantity of
said fluids and still maintain a modicum of alertness and coherency.
Interspersed with a small amount of food, I can drink all night and still
sing the Notre Dame fight song verbatim 'til the cows come home. And some
of those cows are damn big.

I'm going to be 50 in August 2005... I think like an 18 year old, act like a
30 year old and drink like a 70 year old.


Tsk, tsk. Methinks we have a genderophobe in our midsts. I know women
who
can drink you under the proverbial table, you lambic-loving supra-Yooper.

No phobias .... just an acute comprehension of the guiding regulations
involving the genders.

. . . who, normally void of reasonability and rationality, had the
decidedly uncharacteristic good sense to distill their national spirits at
the proper alcoholic content.

The heck you say.... the lot of them are limp wristed winos!

Call it what you will, but we routinely eat Canadians for lunch in that
there fenced-in mudhole.

Delusions of adequacy on your part... that's my diaganosis !!

Boy is Katy gonna open up a can of Whoop-Ass on you, boy.

She's not Da Boss'O'Me!..... I ain't Askeered'O'Her!

AHA!!! The truth emerges. The Cappy is a weenie who "drinks less" or
even--omigod, perish the thought--MIXES (forgive me, O' sainted
distill-masters of the Caribbean) rum with God knows what. The thought
brings bile to my tongue and a tightness to my chest.

Well you're a Yank... it's just natural to assume you couldn't tolerate the
stuff neat.

That wasn't my hanky, you Athabascan oil slick. That was the gauntlet,

I've thrown it down in challenge to you for a shot-for-shot contest of
wills

Max, IIRC all rum and burbon is distilled to almost pure alcohol.

Once it is put in charred oak casks to age a percentage of the alcohol
evaporates( the Angles share). This also make it smoother and it picks
up flavor from the barrels.

The carmelation between the charred barrels and the wood gives it it's
color. Most fine rums and burbons are aged at least 5 years in oak.

Well I put it on my Christmas list. I hear it works better than vicks
vapor rub if you smeer it on your chest, just dont smoke while doing
it.

If you want to try a most excellent rum that will put your lambs to
shame try British Royal Navy Imperial Rum.

It's only 108.6 proof but you will never go back.

PS: you need to stop hanging out with gay snowbird bikers visiting
Houston. Any real Texan can drink you snowbirds under the table.

If you ever get down this way again I will introduce you to a real
liquor. A Tequila called 1800 A=F1ejohe. Made from 100% Blue Agave, and
dont worry, it's has no worm in the bottle to scare you off.

Never thought of that... just a sniff from the bottle will raise the hackles

I'll give it a try.... as soon as I find some. The annual Rum Festival is

I really do like the taste of Lamb's 151.... I'll let you kow if I get hold
of a bottle of BRNIR

Overproof, M.D.? Nah. You must have missed that chapter on Merkun
tolerance to alcohol. Page 431, paragraph 4, line 23-31: " . . . the myth
regarding cultures outside the USA that possess unusual ethanol tolerance.
McGrady, et. al., discovered in their epidemiological study of North
American cultures vs. ethanol tolerance an inverse correlation between
latitude and the ability to withstand the deliterious effects of copious
ethanol imbibition. Subjects from lower latitudes demonstrated a greater
propensity for remaining conscious following 10 standard (2oz. 50% ethanol)
drinks than those from higher latitudes. The conclusion that equatorial
proximity equates to greater tolerance and polar proximity equates to less
tolerance appears to be substantiated by McGrady and . . ."
