My brother recently brought up something, a blast from the past. As kids, we made our own funny kids version. Golden Rings became Toilet Seats, and a partridge in a pear tree became a cartridge in an atari. :D

And a beer....in a tree
This is the most expensive bottle of booze that I own. Its pretty good, if not funky. :D

Is that Douglas Fir brandy?

Does it taste like Gin?

I love the Clear Creak Distillery stuff, specially their Grappa.

Anyway back to the original subject. I know the 12 Days by heart. We had a CEO the used to make us sing it at the company party. But he made it sort of fun. Each table would get a "day" at random. Then when your table's day came up you all had to stand up and sing.

The two worst were day 1 because you had to stand up every time, and day 5 because you had to hold you arms over your head in a circle to make a "ring" People used to try and find the table that was day 12. So he started switching day 12 with Day 1 after everyone sat down.

It was fun the first year, but five year later is got a little old.

Never had their stuff before. I've only had very little of my stuff. Prolly half left; I like to share the novelty with friends.

It's very different. Not offensive, yet funky, and tastes like tree. :p

"eau de vie" is a french term/spirit that is typically made from fruit. Pear/poire would be from around the Lorraine area, or apple/calvados would be from Normandy I believe. I've had cherry, prune, among others.

The best desert in the world that I've had is sorbet + eau de vie, both of exact same flavor. Simple but amazing. But I guess Im a boozer, cuz the other fav could be a nice tiramisu with a nice rum layer. :D

You guys would've had more fun if you inserted toilet seats for golden rings.

Allow me to continue to drag this thread off topic...:rolleyes:

Douglas Fir Eaux de Vie (scroll down the page)

Inspired by an obscure Alsatian distillate called Eau de Vie de Bourgeons de Sapin, Steve McCarthy worked on developing the perfect Oregon version of a tree spirit, an Eau de Vie of Douglas Fir, for ten years. This eau de vie is made from an infusion of the springtime buds of Douglas fir picked by hand into clear brandy which is then re-distilled and re-infused with more buds. Finally it is strained and bottled. The green color and complex fresh flavor are from the Douglas Fir buds. No artificial colors or flavors are added.

Gin (well GOOD Gin) is made with fresh Juniper berries. I suspect the Douglas Fir buds would impart a gin like piney taste to the Brandy.

Now I am going to have to find a bottle of this.

Here's today's 12

The 12 Politically Correct Days of Christmas:


On the 12th day of the Eurocentrically imposed midwinter festival, my Significant Other in a consenting adult, monogamous relationship gave to me:

TWELVE males reclaiming their inner warrior through ritual drumming,

ELEVEN pipers piping (plus the 18-member pit orchestra made up of members in good standing of the Musicians Equity Union as called for in their union contract even though they will not be asked to play a note),

TEN melanin deprived testosterone-poisoned scions of the patriarchal ruling class system leaping,

NINE persons engaged in rhythmic self-expression,

EIGHT economically disadvantaged female persons stealing milk-products from enslaved Bovine-Americans,

SEVEN endangered swans swimming on federally protected wetlands,

SIX enslaved Fowl-Americans producing stolen non-human animal products,

FIVE golden symbols of culturally sanctioned enforced domestic incarceration,

NOTE: after members of the Animal Liberation Front threatened to throw red paint at my computer, the calling birds, French hens and partridge have been reintroduced to their native habitat. To avoid further Animal-American enslavement, the remaining gift package has been revised.)

FOUR hours of recorded whale songs

THREE deconstructionist poets

TWO Sierra Club calendars printed on recycled processed tree carcasses

and...ONE Spotted Owl activist chained to an old-growth pear tree.

You get a failing grade for leaving out the worst.:p Some assembly required.
