Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites bob.dino 0 #29 September 9, 2005 Absinthe needs sugar, a lighter, a teaspoon, and some water. Pour a measure of absinthe into a glass. Wet a heaped teaspoon of sugar in the absinthe. Light the absinthe-soaked teaspoon of sugar. When the sugar starts to crystalise, dump it into the absinthe. Use a measure of water to put out the now-flaming absinthe. Drink. Rinse. Repeat. Fall over. Drinks that require a ritual are cool.

I read online that you can get wine out of clothing by putting it in boiling milk. I got a pot out, poured milk in and stuck the part of my shirt that was stained in the pot. I got bored watching the pot, so I walked away to read the forums. Of course the milk boiled once I walked away. The milk got the stain out, but the part of the shirt that I left hanging outside of the pot got burned from the burner. I ruined my shirt more!
