The Wolf Maid Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Sadly no characters... yet. Although Arya is on my list for sometime in the future. That's gonna be one kickass pet. Oh, and I was wondering, is the cat in your avatar one of your cats? It's adorable. I miss my cat. He ran away and eloped with some kitty (or became RK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestrit Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Especially since we started drinking absinthe after many of those inexpensive Czech beers. . . Led to anecdotes that we didn't necessarily tell everyone! That's only because you can't remember what actually happened in any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott's going to help me fix it one of these days. I've got a few of the Loki kitty that I use on Livejournal, and a few I need to make of the other pets. I'm sorry about your keetom. RK?

Xray the Enforcer Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 3. 0.01 volumes of 2-mercaptoethanol (for that certain je ne sais quoi) 4. 0.5 volumes of Fetal bovine serum 5. Add SYBR Green PCR Buffer to taste goddamn -- we used to call beta-mercaptoethanol-containing solutions "stinky buffer." As in "Gimme 3 mL of Old Stinky, please. I got proteins to denature." ETA: Jenn/Scott -- you'll get your recipes soon. I had to fly out to CA for my gran's funeral, and won't be back in NYC until Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzlebane Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 You all will have to wait for the official unveiling of the winning cocktail recipe until my return from vacation in a week and a half. Until then, half fun experimenting on your runner-up recipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinDonner Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Scott/Jenn - can you get Tuaca where you are? It's a lovely lovely liqueur but I know it's hard to get hold of in England (outside of Brighton, anyway) so maybe it hasn't made it over to the Midwest yet...

Mr Smash Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Whenever you guys drink the winning recipe, you just have to have an appropriate toast. Namely, you should do a variation of the one on page 100 of the U.S. edition of the book: SPOILER: excerpt "I only steal because my dear old family needs the money to live!" Locke Lamora made this proclamation with his wineglass held high; he and the other Gentleman Bastards were seated at the old witchwood table in the opulent burrow beneath the House of Perelandro; Calo and Galdo on his right, Jean and Bug on his left. A huge spread of food was set before them, and the celestial chandelier swung overhead with its familiar golden light. The others began to jeer. "Liar!" They chorused in unison. "I only steal because this wicked world won't let me work an honest trade!" Calo cried, hoisting his own glass. "Liar!" "I only steal because I have to support my poor lazy twin brother, whose indolence broke our mother's heart!" Galdo elbowed Calo as he made this announcement. "Liar!" "I only steal," said Jean, "because I've temporarily fallen in with bad company." "Liar!" At last the ritual came to Bug; the boy raised his glass a bit shakily and yelled, "I only steal because it's heaps of fucking fun!" "BASTARD!" That would probably be the greatest thing ever. Of course, it would have to be improvised to be done properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Lynch Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'd have to say that Absinthe is a 'no' where I live. As for Tuaca, sadly, I've never even heard of it. Alas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajamieson Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Um....equal parts cheap scotch and gin in a tumbler counts as a cocktail, right? What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Paladin Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I'd have to say that Absinthe is a 'no' where I live. That's a shame. Would have certainly sufficed for the Bastard part of the drink. I was considering a layered drink (like a Mind Eraser) with three layers for the "Liars" in the GB toast, and Absinthe playing the role of the "Bastard."

Mr. X Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Really really dumb question...but is that e-mail address missing a part...? No. Worked for me. (On the basis of that reply, I have just been described as "so non-snarky" by Xray. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
