I'll get up early
so I can grab the paper
and start sending clues
'til then, I'll provide
some links for your enjoyment
to keep you busy
Apparently, this
was the first published crossword
in 1913.
Back in '96,
the New York Times published this
was Will Shortz' fav'rite.
And with that I leave you
I'll be back by 9 a.m.
to serve the puzzle
The birds and the bees:
What do all the women want?
I hope it's haiku

So I'm trying to come up with a good punch recipe
for my upcoming Halloween party. Fish house punch sounds, interesting. Here’s the recipe for it , well ingredients anyway. Anyone have any good ideas for a kick ass punch?
3 cups fresh lemon juice, Powdered sugar or simple syrup, 6 cups (1 1/2 quarts) brandy, 2 cups (1 pint) peach brandy, 2 cups (1 pint) light rum, 2 cups strong tea* (optional), 4 cups (1 quart) club soda, Ice mold
by coolguyrob on Oct 23, 2008 4:35 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
No that's just my gut reaction.
Honestly I couldn’t tell you how to make good punch, I was never in a frat. I’m more the type to just drink straight from the bottle. Plus, when I make things I don’t really use recipes, I kinda just throw stuff in.
by brayden04 on Oct 23, 2008 4:43 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
And now looking at it it seems like
a 50/50 split, so no, I don’t think it needs more brandy. That should be sufficient haha.
by brayden04 on Oct 23, 2008 4:45 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah that's what I'm more used to as well
This will actually be in a punch bowl (well I’m using a cauldron) with a ladle and everything. So I’d kind of like something that’s strong, yet tasty.
by coolguyrob on Oct 23, 2008 4:46 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah I figured.
Frats tend to have these type of things, but usually they are disgusting and put it in a trash bag inside a trash can or something. Sounds fruity, so it can’t be too bad. I wonder how powdered sugar would taste in there. Just seems like an out of place ingredient to me.
by brayden04 on Oct 23, 2008 4:48 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
The powdered sugar is just to counter act the sourness of the lemon juice, I'll be very careful with it
by coolguyrob on Oct 23, 2008 4:49 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, but why powdered?
If I have something that’s too acidic, say from lemons or tomatos or something, I usually use honey or regular sugar. I wonder if I’m missing the boat here and if powdered sugar works better. Although it may not matter as actually buying powdered sugar is a whole different process haha.
by brayden04 on Oct 23, 2008 4:54 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think it's because powdered sugar disolves quicker, but honey would work well for that as well
by coolguyrob on Oct 23, 2008 4:55 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
When making cocktails with sugur,
I would always recommend using simple sugar instead of powdered sugar. It just seems to mix a lot easier. If you dont want to buy simple sugar it’s really easy to make: take two parts sugar and one part water and bring it to a boil. Then let it simmer for 10-15 minutes and throw it in the fridge for a few hours before you use it. Like you said, I’d start with less juice. Too much sour can ruin anything.

Not really, I'm usually just a beer guy.
My experience with simple sugar comes from making rum sours. I went to Haiti this summer and they served lots of amazing rum sours there, so I brought back some Haitian rum to try to replicate it for my friends and family. It turned out a lot better when I used simple sugar instead of just dissolving sugar into it.

I'm late! And I think powdered sugar contains corn starch.
The sugar trick is crucial if you’re brewing your own beer, I dorked around with it for a bit and was having a lot of problems until a guy mentioned this. Also fixed some fermenting problems making root beer.

Ohh snap!
From the Mariner Mailbag:
"Do you think Carlos Silva will rebound and have a decent season next year and somewhat earn all that money he’s going to get?
— Joey W., Compton, Calif.
It has been my belief all along that Silva needs to shed some weight to become the pitcher Seattle expected when he signed a four-year, $48 million contract prior to last season. And losing weight is something he has promised to do during the offseason. Silva built a reputation as an innings-eater, but there may have been more calories in those innings than anyone imagined. "
Youse so fat, the mailbag is making fun of how fat you are. I honestly never expected the Mariners website to have something like this on it.

The people that like it can use it, and those that don’t can use the normal controls plus the nunchuck’s analog stick. I don’t see the downside.

I hate the OLCC
My afraid-to-fly wife has an airport routine. Get to airport, suck down a double G&T, then go through security, find another bar, get another double G&T, knock back a Xanax, get on the plane. Her flight this morning was at 8, which meant we were at the airport about 6.30. OLCC laws say no alcohol sales till 7. Feck.
On the other hand, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a double G&T downed as fast as my wife did at the stroke of 7 this morning.

Not normally, no
but she threatened to quit her job earlier this year because she was miserable, so instead of letting that happen her company let her take on a slightly different role – her company bought another company and she’s working on the integration as a business-knowledge expert, going to the offices of the acquired company and getting them familiar with her company’s systems and practices. She’ll be gone all but about 10 days between now and the end of the year.
Aside from the politics of “give me this or I quit”, she took it in part to get herself over her flying fear, and that’s working to an extent, but the whole thing’s been more of a pain in the ass for her than it’s probably worth.

they offered her a $100 first class upgrade. She called me to ask whether she should do it, and I said, well, you’ve got about 12 flights left to take this year – can you deal with the fact that if you upgrade today, on 11 of those remaining flights you’ll be in coach?
She upgraded (I would have too), but today when she checked in she said “damn I hate flying coach”.

That's the only thing I miss about the ton of work travel I used to do
even after that job ended, I had enough miles/status to fly first class for about a year. It was a sad, sad day the first time I had to board a plane and turn right instead of going left. Now I mostly fly Southwest, where it’s irrelevant.

The 20 free Rock Band 2 songs were announced for download for November 4th.
Here’s the list:
The 88 – “Sons and Daughters”
Authority Zero – “No Regrets”
Between the Buried and Me – “Prequel To The Sequel”
The Cab – “Bounce”
The Chevelles – “Get It On”
The Cocktail Slippers – “Give It To Me”
Dealership – “Database Corrupted”
Endeverafter – “I Wanna Be Your Man”
The Ghost Hounds – “Ashes To Fire”
Hollywood Undead – “Young”
Kutless – “The Feeling”
The Len Price 3 – “If I Ain’t Got You”
Lesley Roy – “I’m Gone, I’m Going”
Opiate for the Masses – “Burn You Down”
Semi-Precious Weapons – “Magnetic Baby”
Shaimus – “Like a Fool”
Thenewno2" – Crazy Tuesday"
Tickle Me Pink – “The Time Is Wrong”
Underoath – “Desperate Times, Desperate Measures”
X Japan – “I.V.”
Seriously, what the fuck? I haven’t heard of any of these bands (aside from Authority Zero and Thenewno2), but I’ve now listened to about 7 of these songs on the Rock Band forum, and they all SUCK. If it’s not bad “metal” then it’s bad emo or garage shit.

Are "The Chevelles" different than Chevelle?
Chevelle was the opening act for the first real rock show I was ever at in the late 90s. They opened for Static X (ok), Dope (awful awful awful) and Powerman 5000 (excellent). I’m also a pretty big fan of Opiate for the Masses, even if they are a pretty blatant Tool ripoff.
