Harvey's Butter Rum Batter, had to try it as its made locally.

official directions off the container:

Use one heaping teaspoon per cup as per taste, muddle with hot water. Add choice of liquor, run, brandy or bourbon


I mixed 2 tbl spoons into a small pot of boiling water, split it into two cups then added the alcohol.  Still a big rum flavor and the general overall flavor was rum and hot water.

2nd round:  I mixed the same amount of batter to the water before heating it, stirred it a few times, let it get to hot, just before boiling, mixed it again, then split it into 2 cups and added the rest of the rum.    Can't taste the rum, but not a big taste distinction beyond that.  Not bad, but not much of anything else either.

Have to try it with bourbon next, as we're out of rum.

I, uh, err, just got some lucky shots of some idiot doing this around Bremertoon, PNW...

The Dance of Time by Michael Judge

A nice time-line of the origin of the standard calendar. A bit light on references, but I remember a lot of the stories from college and its nice to see them in print.

lame, remember to learn to use the wife's camera phone before you start...

other notes: 

cut your avery labels down to pocket sized chunks, they're great to use for tape.

grrrrrrrrrr.....thought you could just snap and go w/ the camera phone, but it trashes the pict if you don't go out of your way to save it...  got more paper for next time though.

ready to go...

Poker to strengthen will!

It was fun to take their money and point out how stupid it was for me to have ever smoked and supported tobacco (while those around me smoked).

Split first in the game for $225!

Dude, the spoon doesn't even stand up in the middle of the cup, how can you drink that water?

Its a clean sight, like sfw? 

heh, control the internets


I have a lot of will in a few areas and not much in others, guess I choose my battles.

I do better when I am driven, and in this I really hate big tobacco.

Those fuckers are killing a bunch of people who will never know better and aren't getting much of a chance to.

There not the only ones, of course, but I can't handle giving them any more money, and OPC's don't work because someone is still giving them money for fairly direct, undisguised death.

Sorry, it gets just a bit worse, lol

30225*.042*30 =$38083.5 ea in interest
                            $30225.0
                            $68k owed by each living person to pay for the government if the govt were to stop spending    right now and pay off the debt 30 years from now?

I don't even really understand what that means, or maybe I'm just having cognitive dissonance.

Just got to work out the year early tax credit numbers-

$1.4b / 300m = $466.67 per person average.

PRT=i

4.2% on 30 yr T-bills 

http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update/

30 year maturity



466.67*.042*30

$588 interest per person

=$1054.67 per person average cost, because the money you get at first is your own assumed tax return from next year. 

That's per person though, not taxpayer

http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=380531

140b / 130,728,360 = $1070.92 cost per taxpayer, 30 yrs later its $1349.36 in interest total cost
is $2421 ea for your $600-1200 refund. 

Is this correct?  I have payday loans that were a lot worse than that

The numbers look real bad per individual when you do the same for the national debt....

Vote early, vote often, vote with your money.

have a nice day.

It's not raining on wall street yet 

I wish I had time to be drunk.

Not to mention my drinking bone is directly connected to my smoking bone.

The pills and anti-sucker resolve cocktail: I'm calmer than I remember being last time I quit.

Tomorrow is poker, a real test, I just need to channel the hate.
