Interesting fella. I'm relieved to have never been married to him.

The ones wrapped in maize-leafs... ugh! (Normal filter Gitanes are OK though - 'cept for their price)

brightpearl · 08-31-2007, 01:52 PM

the target market for maize leaf Gitanes are agriculturists over 75 years old, who make their own Gnôle.

Speaking of which, Gnôle shots on the house...prune flavored....

brightpearl · 08-31-2007, 02:14 PM

^Er. Does it taste better than it sounds?

I've got some lechuguilla. It's kinda like tequila, but made from a kind of agave with spines so thick it's called the "Shin Dagger."

T.I.P. · 08-31-2007, 02:19 PM

you're not supposed to pronounce the "G".

think "gnôle" as in "español"

not "gnôle" as in "gnome"

brightpearl · 08-31-2007, 02:22 PM

^Yeah, I meant the "Prunella" part, actually...

Although this reminds me of grocery shopping this morning. Always fun when there are 2 or more languages in common use. I caught sight of a frozen confection kinda like a Drumstick, labeled "Conos" and did a double-take...who else knows some slang?

Tildes are so important.

sry

i forgot how much of a language expert you are

.

You can hardly taste the prunella btw (it's usually over 60 degrees / 120 proof)

T.I.P. · 08-31-2007, 02:26 PM

'k, gotta run for a bit...take over for me berylly ?

brightpearl · 08-31-2007, 02:28 PM

Can't, I gotta dissect an unfortunate rat. I'll just leave the preservation fluid in this jar marked "Free Moonshine" and everyone can serve themselves...

T.I.P. · 08-31-2007, 02:30 PM

good idea. I left a bag of stale and chewy peanuts on the bra in case anybody gets hungry for salty snacks...

brightpearl · 08-31-2007, 02:32 PM

I hope they aren't the ones I swept up earlier...

Have fun, all!

Stephi_B · 08-31-2007, 02:53 PM

Yeah these were the very same peanuts... saw Terry fishing them and an empty chips bag out of the waste bin... but that fluid should disinfect everything

Hasta lunes!
