Leica & Stylus Around the World: Round #9

[Shawn Rahman]

I've been drinking Maker's Mark for 20 years almost exclusively. For no good reason. I simply must try new things.

Hard liquor trumps poultry every time! Let's keep the conversation going.

It is meant to be drunk with lots of ice and some coke, rarely straight up.

I've known a few people who thought that about themselves...


meant as a rye comment...

 

[flatulent1]

I prefer my single malts neat, though (prompted by reading whiskey reviews) I occasionally splash some spring water in just for a change. Seagram and CR are rye? I had no idea. They needed a larger splash of water to make them palatable; toilet water worked well for that. When I was in my early 20s I got roaring drunk once on rum and coke; now I cringe whenever someone suggests that diabolic brew. I use Makers Mark for cleaning out my pipes. Woodford's Reserve is the only bourbon I've found drinkable.

I've been eyeing Woodford's Reserve forever. Will try it soon.

I had a similar episode in my misspent youth, but with Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum. Makes me cringe and vomit just thinking about it. So does thinking about the girl I ended up with that night, but that's another story entirely.

She probably thinks the same about you.

I'd never heard that term until a years back. I still say straight, though. Actually "Straight, no ice".

 

[Shawn Rahman]

DON'T send it out! I live in Sunnyvale. I have kids who live in Los Gatos. Call me. I'll send phone number via private message.

Tim,

Did you guys ever make this connection?

Regards,

Shawn

 

[Steve Smith]

Not the good ones, I hope!

Don't think there are any!


Steve.

I was promised they would send the camera after the pictures were taken. No sign of it yet.

Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum... I have a couple of plastic flask-type bottles of that. It isn't bad for chasing away the chill when I'm out shooting late in the evening during the cold months. Taken judiciously, of course.

Hey, as long as she's still a girl the next day, you're OK!

This be a tolerant group. And yes, I am serious. If you wind up with someone you don't expect... lay off the booze.

Coulda wound up with a sheep...

 

[lxdude]

Or even a chicken...

 

[Shawn Rahman]

Or even a chicken...

I just love how we always manage to come full-circle back to chickens.

 

[MattKing]

I just love how we always manage to come full-circle back to chickens.

Even in totally unrelated threads :devil:

 

[John_Nikon_F]

Around the world camera threads are notorious for doing that kind of thing. Chickens are an important staple in said threads... ;-P

Can a good samaritan explains at us, newbies, how this "chicken fixing" thing started, in the begining ?

 

[k_jupiter]

Actually, no. Not possible. You can go back to starting at Camera 5 threads (there are a couple) and read the definitive history of the cult of chicken sacrifice.

The short answer is: "It's all Sile's fault!".

Although Tim claims that it is not possible, I think it is. And here is my lame attempt to do so. I think it all comes from someone in this exchange using German language. "sending something by mail" in German is "etwas per Post schicken" and there you have it, some poor soul forgot about the 's' in schicken and so it got chicken.

Cheers

We all know you are Hamming it up rst.

Ham is Schinken in German. Now that you have the camera, you have to sacrifice a ham.

BTW Hahnchen is hen in German, Huhn is generic chicken.

Now we're schinken fast!

I think I'm going to get a chicken and name it Attila the Huhn.

Maybe I'll get a cow and give it a German name, too. I think that would be Kuh.

Or Heinrich.
