I shudder for today's youth when all the rock Gods have gone...and what if anything shall remain to fill the void. Someone will pick it up for them. Every generation goes through this. My parents were 30 and 34 in 1963--and they hated the Beatles. Thought music was dead. Never got rock and roll at ...

My sister was in one of those pipes and drums and baton-twirling outfits as a kid. The part you play the melody on is much like a recorder, but keeping enough air in the bag to run the drone pipes is a real trick. The kids had one or more of them plugged to make it manageable. She wasn't a great pip...

I've heard that since these new extraction techniques glutted the gas market, some deranged barbecuers have got addicted to frack propane smoking.

Nice obit. Mighty daring, bringing music that grew out of the blues back to the South.

I was kinda looking for Lowell George in the Rock and Roll Heaven montage. Oh, Atlanta! Some of us remember who never been there.

Well, when I started all this, I was thinking of sirloin , not Philly cheesesteak--which may be the grandest glory of chipped beef, but is really a whole 'nother thing. :mrgreen: Myself, I've been vegetarian for more than 35 years, but grew up in livestock and hunting culture. We ate lots of game (I...

. . . and it frequently bites them in the butt when the kid figures out it's lies. The kid always figures out it's lies--even when you tell them the truth. :roll: But life is complicated. It's a comedy that (like the news) never changes; it just happens to different people. I have a congenital Y-ch...

I can see adding a splash of water, maybe even seltzer, to a good scotch, to dilute it a bit without changing the flavor. But mixing it? Save the money and stick with Dewar's White Label or similar. My dad used to say that anybody who would fry a steak, you might as well shoot them and put them out ...

What you are describing is the method for making applejack. Repeated freezing, partial thawing, and re-freezing grows pure ice crystals while concentrating the alcohol in the cider. All it really requires is cold nights and patience. One problem with this method is that it also concentrates the nas...

This morning around 11 AM EST, it was 65 F at my dad's place in the Allegheny Mountains in southwestern Pennsylvania. It's generally one of the coldest regions in the state, ski resort and coalmine country. It was warm and wet all weekend. I expect there were record high temperatures all across the ...

I will merely observe that the person who drove into the painting of a tunnel was driving a Fiat. Just sayin'.

Actually, i suspect the original reference should have been "Goths"... They invaded Rome; the Gauls ... rather the reverse. Possibly the Vandals, who were so destructive their tribal name lives on as a description of wanton destruction. Yep. Disabled damn near every pump in the western em...

Well, it's not carbonation that supercharges the whipped cream.

I'm surprised at you.

Jagermeister tastes like black liquorice because. It's made with liquorice and anise. Aaannd that's why i don't like Jager, or Ouzo, or Sambuca. And most disappointing, Absinthe. A friend of old friends was quite fond of Sambuca, and would always insist on rounds, back in the high-flying days of ma...

:D :lol: :P :twisted: Fuel-Air stoichiometry is fun! HO, yezz! :mrgreen: Years ago, the Boy Scout troop I belonged to went on a winter-ish weekend camping trip. We were using charcoal stoves for cooking. One patrol's cook-of-the-day hadn't used enough charcoal lighter-fluid to get his stove started...

GAS in a COAL furnace?!? Are you MAD? Because I am... And that sounds exactly like something I'd do just to see what happens. Well. . . I was about 13. No one else was home. I thought the fire was dead out, and we had a bulk tank of gas in the yard. I got maybe half a cup of gas in an empty soup ca...

There is a local fooding place that has rocket-fuel eggnog during Christmas time, it's mmmMMMMmmmmMMMM gooood! Iz mooseberries in eggnog? Bwahahaha! Oh! Oh! I get that reference! Did Rocky and/or Bullwinkle ever say what mooseberries actually taste like? I'm not sure how well they'd mix with eggnog...

Never kill a man over breakfast. It might turn you into a cereal killer. ----- In Billings, Montana, there was a bar serving drinks. One evening a bear walked into a bar and ordered a beer. "I'm sorry, but we don't serve beer to bears in bars in Billings" was the bartender's reply "L...
