Let it snow,let it snow,let it snow

[westgrandboulevard]

A splash?? In Arr&bee's case, it would require a tsunami....

[Jerry Oz]

In honesty, adding caffeine [[a known stimulant) to hooch [[a known anesthetic/coma inducer) might create a tonic so poisonous as to break the beaker. Maybe we can add something less dangerous...

[westgrandboulevard]

A Government Health Warning?

[144man]

A Skull and Crossbones label.

[westgrandboulevard]

In arr&bee's eyes, that would give the product huge prestige, like receiving a Royal Warrant of Appointment......

[Jerry Oz]

Alfred Nobel would be jealous of such explosive potential in so small an amount. Well, so would the scientists who worked on the first nuclear bombs.

[westgrandboulevard]

The supply in nuclear bombs is infinitely more plentiful than the supply of hooch.

[144man]

That's because the secret ingredient, transuranic element 120 - hoochium, which exists backwards in time, will not be discovered in sufficient quantities yet to make mass production feasible.

[westgrandboulevard]

Just as well that mass production of arr&bee's hooch is unlikely any time soon, as probably no more than a dozen or so people have even heard of it!

[144man]

Once it reaches tipping point, there will be no stopping it.

[westgrandboulevard]

Until it reaches tipping point, there will be no starting it.

[144man]

If it exists as a singularity, there wouldn't be any need to.

[westgrandboulevard]

Then we're better off with mineral water....

[Jerry Oz]

Mineral water? Yeah, I guess but that's not saying too much because we're also better off drinking high-grade rocket fuel than this wonderful elixur...

[westgrandboulevard]

If I drink mineral water [[which I do), there's a chance I might make 100 years of age.

If I drink arr&bee's hooch, I'd not last 100 minutes......

[144man]

Drinking arr&bee's new batch of hooch will be like drinking from the Fountain of Youth.

[Jerry Oz]

It shares those properties with embalming fluid...

[westgrandboulevard]

I still say mineral water....better for my complexion, as well. As is flat champagne....

[Jerry Oz]

Ummm... And you discovered this... How, again...?

[westgrandboulevard]

I read it in a book somewhere. Good for toning the skin, pores etc...

Although, I must say, if ever there is any champagne around here, little or none of it remains unconsumed long enough to go flat....

[Jerry Oz]

I've got a bottle of rum that I bought for New Years Eve.

New Years Eve of 2012... I take a snootful and put it aside until the next year.

[westgrandboulevard]

It can't be beneficial for improving your memory, then....

[Jerry Oz]

I dislike alcohol in general. Well, I've never had hooch, so I won't write it off... But I'll probably drink it mixed with Dr. Pepper. Promise me that you'll tell me what happened after that...

[arr&bee]

AHHH A SUBJECT DEAR TO MY HEART,SO NICE OF YOU KIND GENTLEMEN TO DISCUSS THE PROBABILITIES OF THIS WONDERFUL ELIXUR,WHY WHEN I WAS IN DETOX..OPPS-ER-AHEM-HEHE...THE SYMPOSIUM ON DETOX INDUCEMENT,I HAD TIME TO THINK ON THE QUALITIES THAT MAKE THIS DRINK SO SPECIAL AS THERE ARE TOO MANY TO MENTION HERE I WON'T BUT I TELL YOU GENTLEMEN THAT I STAND BEHIND THIS PRODUCT 1,000% OR 1,000 FEET BACK IF LEFT IN THE SUN TOO LONG,WHY AS WE TYPE THIS I HAVE MY SUSPECTS..OPPS-ER-AHEM-HEHE..SCIENTIST WORKING OVERTIME TO ENSURE THE FINEST QUALITY PRODUCT,JUST REMEMBER TO READ THE FINE PRINT...[DOWN AT THE BOTTOM JUST BELOW THE SKULL AND CROSSBONES..[what do you mean you can't see it,get yourself a good telescope and you'll see it just fine].

[westgrandboulevard]

I can't read it from this extremely safe distance.........but I imagine the fine print to be similar in content to that which accompanies the anaesthetic used by Moe in her work - and the outcome remarkably similar.......

[Jerry Oz]

I always imagined the fine print describes the exact process used to split the atoms that gives it the "kick" that makes it so powerful. If they put hooch into the CERN super collider, I'm sure we'd find the secrets to the multiverse.

[westgrandboulevard]

Wouldn't we be finding those secrets the very hardest way?

[144man]

I know it found a Higgs-like particle, but I don't know if it was THE Higgs particle they were looking for which would give the Universe mass.

[westgrandboulevard]

You sound like Stanley Unwin, presenting The Sky At Night.....

[144man]

Multiloads...

[westgrandboulevard]

And manifold starly-starly-brights, oh-so-aloft, revolving twinklemost among a fullfat Milky Way...

[144man]

That's easy for you to say!

[westgrandboulevard]

I had to rehearse.

I wonder if funeral directors feel the same need....

[Jerry Oz]

They have to. The business is dying,, so any edge helps.

[144man]

I always thought it was a profitable undertaking.

[westgrandboulevard]

Of course. And the competition is stiff.

[arr&bee]

Of course. And the competition is stiff.

AND YOU WILL BE TOO AFTER YOUR FIRST SIP...[oh don't worry the rigor mortis will wear off in oh a month or two.]

[Jerry Oz]

I'll drink to that one...

[westgrandboulevard]

You go first, then.....

[Jerry Oz]

It's either that or drink a mouthful of broken glass. Both are equally appealing right now...

[westgrandboulevard]

Rather like offering a starving person something to which they know full well they are violently allergic....

[Jerry Oz]

Or dropping a man dying of thirst in the middle of the ocean. Water everywhere but nary a drop to drink...

[westgrandboulevard]

Hooch everywhere, but nary a drop to be found.....

[Jerry Oz]

Well, if there's a drop somewhere, we know who will find it...

[westgrandboulevard]

He's just hoping someone will, because he's forgotten where he left it....

[Jerry Oz]

It's not like he can invest in a hoochhound. The dog would likely drink the hooch when it found it and then he'd be looking for another dog... If the hooch didn't kill the mutt, it's a safe bet that arr&bee would.

[westgrandboulevard]

Perhaps a National Search could be set up?

"Hunt The Hooch" would involve everyone searching their gardens and sheds for clues....

[Jerry Oz]

But nobody would go to work and the economy would crash... It'd be an economic hoochpocalypse. I'm not sure that's the answer...

[westgrandboulevard]

They would be expected to do it in their free time, of course.....and checking a garden and/or shed would be easy and quick for most...but, of course, some would love to take time off work, especially to look for something which may or may not exist!

[Jerry Oz]

Well, yeah... Just like millions play lotteries knowing that chances are slightly less than zero that they will win. If you don't play, you don't win. If you don't look for the hooch, you certainly won't find it!
