No, too messy. Jacketed instead.

Jesus himself said "I've got mine, Jack."

I've had some ideas for making nutrition-enhanced beer. Since you homebrew, and since your cardiologist has been getting on your case, I was thinking you might be interested in trying them. One is adding wheat bran or wheat germ. This might give it a very strong taste, but it should still taste very beer-ish. Rice bran might also work if you can find it, probably with much less of a strong taste. Supposedly adding wheat bran to beer had actually been done in colonial times, for flavoring purposes. The other is adding grape skins, for the nutritional benefits of red wine. This should have less effect on taste, but it might make it taste less like beer. Interested? Anyone else perhaps? |

If you have any tips on home distilling, I'm interested. I can acquire the equipment fairly easily, and I've always fancied making my own brandy, hehe.

If I made my own alcohol, I wouldn't need to bug other people to try my ideas for it, now would I?
So, the only tip I can come up with for brandy makers is what I've already mentioned, save the grape skins and try adding them to something else. Like, how about a fruit wine? Or just make some triple-red wine. I bet it would go great with double-dark chocolate. |

I'll move, modern Britain sucks anyway. We're becoming too liberal, getting overrun by terrorists, and the weather as always is Godawful.

You wouldn't mind living in an igloo?
Also, they make you speak French here. They test that you can, at the very least, swear fluently in French. |

Actually, I think "Jack" would be Saint John, considering how it's the diminutive of that. In German that one is "Johannes" Or maybe there were two Johns, and to differentiate between the two the other followers demoted one to being "Jack". Poor sod. In German they're as follows: Peter = "Petrus" (or "Simon Petrus"). He's the guy responsible for weather, especially rainy weather, and basically he's the bouncer for the Pearly Gates. James = Jakobus the Elder John = Johannes Andrew = Andreas Philip = Philippus Bartholomew = Bartolomäus Matthew = Matthäus Thomas = Thomas (pronounced "TO-mahs") James = Jakobus the Younger, or Jakobus, son of Alphaeus Thaddeus = Judas Thaddäus. Simon = Simon Zelotes Judas Iscariot = Judas Ischariot (Also, due to his role in the bible, "Judas" is the only name you are not allowed to name your child in Germany. There are other restrictions, like that you have to give a child an actual name [so no luck for folks that want to call their child some fantasy construct like "Moonbeam". It can be a name from any culture, though if it's too exotic, despite you and your family not even being from another culture in any way, you might be asked to make a compromise by for example giving the child a more common second name.] And like I said, you will never be allowed to name your child "Judas", because it has a too negative ring these days. It's not because they want to hassle people, but rather for the wellbeing of the child in the future.) - P.s.: I remember there being harlots with Jesus, but I don't really recall there being a Pimp among his followers.

I have no idea, I'm not big on Jebus and his little gang of hippies. I was just quoting Stephen Colbert, who was comically attributing his own sentiments to the carpenter dude.

Let's see if anyone gets my probably-not-so-subtle hint in my previous post.
And now for something completely (but not entirely) irrelevant: |

I've always wanted to be shot in a houndstooth sport coat.
