**regains consciousness**

..stance... ! Oops ! Seems like I passed out again.... Eerhardt we'll have to work on that stuff...

Now could someone please pass me something intoxicating ?

@Ode : Congratulations on half k!!
Whoo Hoo*Waves tiny flag for 2 nanoseconds*Whoo Hoo

I too tried RL yesterday - it wasn't that bad - even if our Weed doesn't have the apricot flavour.... BTW-@Ode - the Icebong idea works great....

No worries,

** hands Beldin a C.C.B. - E.C.h.C. mix ** I'm sure our livers will get used to the MC² over time and we won't pass out any more

**takes the drink from Eerhardt and takes a swig**

We could try to lower the coffee part of the MC²...I think it's not a problem with our livers but a sort of "safety shutdown" of our brains because of sensory overload - the coffee - in making you KNURD - tends to lower the natural filters which keep us from going insane at the sight of the REAL world....(you only see the REAL world when KNURD !) ...
So a lower coffee content in the MC² could solve the constant passing out...

**takes another drink**

You know, Beldin, you've got a good point there: I think further experimenting is in order.

SPOILER concerning MC² ingredients

Seems like the C.C.B.'s alcohol enhancing effects don't work with the MC² (when mixed with alcohol, the Columbian Coffee Brew is not supposed to get you KNURD, but heavily entoxicated) That would explain any headaches after waking up from a MC² black-out as a side-effect to being KNURD ** heads for Rolling Thunder TM's secret laboratory to conduct more experiments **

Shhh, you two are giving away the secret ingredients in the MC²! D'you want every potential SYM bartender to have the recipe?

The ice bong is great, isn't it?

It was recommended to me about a year ago by Ole, a German exchange student from Hamburg who was at my high school for a year.

I think the apricot flavour was a once-off thing, I haven't been able to find any more weed that tasted like apricots for a while (since "schoolies", when my friends and I went down to a backpackers lodge at Margaret River and smoked apricot-flavoured joints all week. And made everything into a 'mission'.)

** returns to the laboratory **

@Ode: I think the SYM Bartenders can not copy the MC² since OUR truck has the only working reactor in SYM as its power source....

And since you brought it up:

"We're on a mission from god !"

Aside, of course, from the fact that we don't believe in God (not sure about Eerhardt). *Rolls cask of beer down to secret laboratory* Do you believe in God, Eerhardt?

**finishes his drink and gets a BS-Sized pint of beer**

"God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffeable game of his
own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the
other players [ie., everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex
version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes,
with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who _smiles all the time_."

Neil Gaiman, Corgi Books 1991, pg 17]

I'm right in taking that as a 'no', then?

How about this one?

How come the visions of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary etc. occur only in Christian countries while visions of Allah are only seen in Islamic countries? Imagine the confusion if Jesus Christ were to appear in someone's breakfast in Mecca, or if Muhammed made an appearance in an Irish pub.

@Ode: We should start a "religiuos vs. atheist Quote thread" ....

How about that one:
"Whenever a man believes that he has the exact truth from God, there is
in that man no spirit of compromise. He has not the modesty born of the
imperfections of human nature; he has the arrogance of theological
certainty and the tyranny born of ignorant assurance. Believing himself
to be the slave of God, he imitates his master, and of all tyrants, the
worst is a slave in power."

Thanks for the beer, Ode ** opens up the cask and takes a long drink ** AAAh, all this experimenting makes a man thirsty! [seriously] Contrary to popular belief, yes, I do believe there is a God [/seriously], who in his great wisdom, gave man the capability to create forums on which he could quench his primordial thirst by creating such illustruous drinks as E.S.S., E.C.h.C., C.C.B. or MC² and the ability to experiment on them, in an attempt to divine God's Greater Plan...

It'd be like shooting fish in a barrel, but I say we go for it.

@Eerhardt-So how's the voyage of religious discovery coming?

**Wanders down to help in the experiments. Even more suspicious smoke than usual starts spiraling up from the laboratory.**

Finally alone in the tub !

@Ode: No need to start a new thread - I bumped fables "I quote here" thread...

**SLURRs in the tub**
