That's a mistake you don't make twice!

Imagine what it must have felt like to wipe while that was healing :eek: a constant reminder long after the alcohol had worn off.

Not to be outdone...

BTW this is not me, but like many passing by this town in Newfoundland, I stopped to get my pic taken just like this... my photo is buried somewhere in an album in non-digital form, so this will just have to do.

There was a video of some similarly moronic youths with bottle rockets a couple of weeks ago floating around our e-mails. The guy there used an orifice as the "launch pad", so I think the guy in the pics here may actually be a little smarter....

The Butt Rocket video is on ebaum, I think. Check this one out:

John,

Cannot believe that this "turkey" photo is still there....

Didn't even notice that it might be offensive. I just see things as funny and not funny. Sorry if it offends anyone. If it does, it was unintentional.
Actually I just figured out why I couldn't post pictures and was trying to see if one would download. That was the first picture I came across. I mistakenly hit post instead of preview

Brewing up some Christmas cheer!

Dude, PM me details!!! Looks like a perfect Blue flame:cool:

Yeah... I would like some details also. If that Mr. Coffee looking gadget is pumping out 190 proof, I need to know. I don't think my neighbors are really buying my explaination for having a still in the backyard, and the wife won't let me move it into the garage.

just doing my part keeping alive a Southern tradition. LOL

If you guys are really interested, I have a copy of the "Blue Flame" book that Boeing made for its Saudi employees. Very hard to get, I was given a copy when I was based in Saudi.

What John is making is very easy and you can tailor the proof as you wish. We usually had batch's come out at 180 or so then watered it down to suit how happy we wanted to get. Making "squeezings" is also very cheap once you start. Just takes a crock pot or two and some other misc things...

Am guess where (Saudi) right now but home by Christmas. Book is at home in Phoenix, drat! :)

Boo hiss. Repeat from last year. Not that I haven't done it. :)

Joe, although I have been doing it my for 20 or so years (extemely easy my way), I'd like to read that book. A little extra knowledge never hurts. I just learned last year that you can gauge the strength by shaking the bottle and noting the size of the bubbles and how fast they pop. the smaller the bubble and the faster it pops, the stronger the precentage of alcohol. From The History Channel on one of it's best programs, the history of alcohol.

What is the machine that you use? A distiller obviously but where do you get it?
