I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid.

Aside from everything else, being a comparative newcomer to this place (and seeing no other place around this place, this must be the place) - I have to ask. Which of the two in your picture is supposed to be you?

I cautiously avoided asking if they were parental in nature. Now without a bottle of Gin in tow (and never put toe in Gin). After all, I don't know the guy as well as some of you beyond his poor taste in liquor.

I dunno, Gin can be rather pleasant, especially if you pour an unopened bottle of Vermouth into the glass.

. . . and fill it to the top and skip the gin?

You'd probably be better off (flavor and aroma) by drinking witch hazel.

No, the idea of the unopened bottle is that it lets the idea of Vermouth permeate the Gin^* to create a truly Dry Martini.

* Instead of the actual substance, which would be a criminal offence.

Way back in the days of Prohibition (a funny little experiment that let religious fanatics tell everyone how to live) they produced a product called "Bathtub Gin[^]". It was so named because it's only redeeming quality was the (usually) drinkable alcohol.

That, however, would seem to be a step viz-a-viz production of the genuine article - worthy of production in that other floor-level container usually found in the same room as the bathtub.

Just sayin' . . . (and at least you got me to be positive about it)

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I just posted a question at the top that could be taken as bait if someone were so inclined, though it wasn't written as bait, it's a C vs C++ thing, so I expect there to be casualties. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Yes, arguments can be found. The "good" part is another argument in itself.

Upon entry, you do not "get" an argument, you supply an actual one for the formal one declared by the man at the door.
