Q. How many ice cubes should one put in a 18 oz. glass of rum & coke?


6 standard cubes... or 8 cubes from the bar fridge!

Anything more causes undue displacement and waters down the mix to
unacceptable levels.

Real sailors don't need no stinkin' sissy ice cubes with their rum. That's
for girly boys such as Gaynzy and his hoe, BB the sissy pretend sailor.

No Florida swamp sailor tells me how to take my drink....


Tepid rum mixed half and half with water is a real day sailor's drink.

Hogwash... it's a watered down rum for frail constitutions.


Hot coffee, black - mixed half and half with rum is a midnight-watch
sailor's drink.

Better... but I use overproof and mix it 1/3 to 2/3 .


Straight rum drunk by the bottle is a bulk carrier captain's drink.

It's a man's drink... and Hazelwood was a scapegoat!

Perhaps you are right because you live way up north where it's cold most of the
time and one needs plenty of strong rum for anti-freeze. But, here in the tropics,
one needs to dilute the anti-freeze a little as it is used more as a boiling point
elevator rather than a freezing point depressor.

Get it?

Tepid? Day sailor?? Oh my!

Add some mollasses.

I chip off a ''bergy'' from my block in the cooler.

Well well. A Texan has to teach the iceman about what a growler Iceberg
is.

I said

A bergy bit is about the size of a house. Both the bergy bit and the
growler are usually calved from icebergs.

Than Iceman said

That is incorrect..

So lets look at what the USCG Ice Patrol says about Growlers

http://www.uscg.mil/lantarea/iip/FAQ/FAQ_Icebergs.shtml

Q. What is the extreme range of iceberg locations?

A. The grey shaded area is the normal range of iceberg distribution.
The extreme icebergs/growlers are indicated. Some of the notable
extreme icebergs a

In 1926, the southernmost known iceberg (a growler) reached 30-20 N,
62-32 W (about 150 nm from Bermuda).
In 1883, a growler was located about 200 nm south of the Azores.
In 1907, an iceberg was sighted about 100 nm southwest of Fastnet,
Ireland.
In 1912, a growler was seen about 75 nm east of Chesapeake Bay, USA.
In 1912, the iceberg that the R.M.S. Titanic collided with was located
at 41-46N, 50-12W.

So Mooron are you telling me growlers are over 1100-over 3000 feet deep
dragging across the bottom of the Atlantic?

I dont think so.

Rotton ice is ice that is honeycombed and very easy to fall apart with
little temp change.

Q. What is the extreme range of iceberg locations?

[snip useles and irrelevent data to the subject discussed]

So Mooron are you telling me growlers are over 1100-over 3000 feet deep
dragging across the bottom of the Atlantic?

You ignoramus.... they were originally called growlers because of their
small size and subsequent shoreside accumulations that did indeed cause
noise on the rock beds prevelent in the arctic seabed. They are smaller than
bergy bits.... and yes icebergs routinely scour the ocean bed...

Do icebergs hit the bottom?

Yes. Icebergs often "ground" or contact the seabed and get stuck. This is a
frequent occurrence along the coast where icebergs are brought into shore by
irregular tidal currents or strong winds. Sometimes icebergs "scour" the
seabed creating irregular troughs that may be several kilometers in length.
The edges of the Grand Banks are criss-crossed with old and new iceberg
scour marks.

I dont think so.

Try thinking again....

Rotton ice is ice that is honeycombed and very easy to fall apart with
little temp change.

It is most certainly not honeycombed.... I've used rotten ice as you call
it in the US... which we refer to as candle ice.... for drinks.

Tell me when you next get a frost and try to pass it off as snow!

Difference is Joe... I've been to Texas... you've never been to the Arctic!!

Cut back to a "growler" if using overproof

You and Neal are even more perfect for each other than you and Scotti Potti.
You guys are a stupid foul mouthed mental midget and a pathetic wannabe who
can't find a woman.
