I don't understand why proof is still used to measure alcohol strength.
Especially the way it is incorrectly calculated in America (just doubling the percent alcohol).
Originally a drink was either above or below proof measured by adding alcohol to gunpowder and seeing whether it would still burn. Above proof was charged duty at a higher rate.
What really irritates me though is when people say ''40 percent proof'' which is pure nonsense.

And as the lady of the house is away, I can play my theme song, and crank it, to eleven.

Guess who's back, back again?
Capps is back, tell a friend.
Tecumseh be free, James Madison might be lightening up, here's hoping he's not bullshitting me, like he's Stringer Bell to my Omar.

You'll never get away from the sound of a woman who loves you. . .

I'm a brunette man, but that Sue Lyon was a qt indeed.
She's 72 now. Lolita no more.

Ditto. Brown hair, brown eyes and legs. Damned if Donovan didn't pick a hottie but that expiration date has long since passed. Curdled milk is so not sexy.

My wife is the spitting image of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. I had a crush on Dorothy since I was a boy, thus when I saw my wife, it was love at first sight. Then she turned out to be about the finest woman a man could ever ask for, which you know to be true, since she puts up with me.Haumana wrote: Thu Feb 21, 2019 12:04 am Ditto.
