@buherator making brandy by feeding industrial quantities of MD 20/20 through a cooling system.
@huronbikes @buherator Isn't that how Malort is made? With some car air fresheners thrown in for the aging?
@cR0w @buherator as a Chicago resident and a drunk, I am obviously well versed in the production of Malört and your recipe sir is not complete as you are missing the old shoes and ground-up matchsticks.
@huronbikes
Dude, I was sneezing and I think hurt myself laughing.
ground-up matchsticks...
@buherator but where do the shoes and the matchsticks and the old socks go, so we get that authentic flavor of disappointment?
@buherator unlike making LLMs, making my beloved Chicago hate-juice is a precision operation.
@huronbikes @cR0w @buherator My recipe uses the genuine bag of pine tar used by the pitchers during an "L"-flagged Cubs home game. You have to be pretty sneaky to get it nowadays, too. You could try a Sox bag, I suppose, but the result tastes less like concentrated disappointment.
@log @huronbikes @buherator Ah, so that's where the botanical come from. Good to know.
@log @cR0w @buherator story time: once upon a time I found myself in the hoosegow. While waiting to b processed, the overhead PA system say, "Crazy Puerto Rican. Crazy Puerto Rican to the front". Short time later I see a guy stroll into the front area where me and some other folks are waiting. Crazy Puerto Rican was vice squad because he walks in dressed in plain clothes stuffing his badge under his shirt, walks up to someone and starts talking to someone about something none of my business.
@log @cR0w @buherator While this is going on, another person in the same line starts talking to Crazy Puerto Rican in order to try to buy drugs from him in... the lock-up. Like guy presses hard on buying drugs, not realizing he's trying to buy drugs from a cop, probably not realizing he was in lock-up. I'm trying my damnedest not to crack up but I just can't. Crazy Puerto Rican looks right at me, nods, and winks.
@log @cR0w @buherator From other overheard conversations, guy who was trying to buy drugs apparently was at that day's Sox game, crashed his buddy's car while plastered, and was busted with crack on him. Lesson is this is why we don't source ingredients from the Sox.
