the whole area was permeated with the faint odor of sulphur.
I first noticed it about half-way up the mountain. We got out to look at the
trees, which seemed strange and alien compared to what we had been passing
through.
As soon as we opened the car door, the odor surrounded us, making both
myself and my companion cough. The first overwhelming scent was sulphur, but
mixed in with that, topnotes and so on, were strains of baked minerals and
strange salts. The ground was definitely warm, and this appeared to be what was
affecting the trees. They all looked rather dry, like Californian live oaks,
and stunted. They were baking from below...
We saw no obvious vents, but there were areas that seemed hotter/moister and
where the sulpher smell was enough to make us back off, hacking. We wandered
around in the forest, and it resonated down past my head, through my neck and
into by gut that we were standing on an active volcano. I got a good mental
birds-eye of the mountain and the xray perception of what was going on down
below us.

#19/42: By: ZAPHOD (#41) : Well, sorry about the beer thing...
03/26/97 11:01pm
as far as I am concerned BEER is the ambrosia of life
All is beer, beer is all knowing and all seeing
it is the only bevrage that is neather masculine or feminine
it has been brewed by evrery culture (in various forms)
sects have been devoted to it and it has been a major
social factor (even without the presence of distilled spirits)
since there were such things as "social factors" beer was found
in the toumbs of the pharos and the cripts of the ming dyansty
next to SPAM beer rules! but yeah, its an aquired taste.
and the fact is it took a long time before I (yeah ME)
could even handel a can of your avrege american "lawn mowing"
brew b-4 I could get used to the shit -=- I guess its kike
(sorry ) I guess its like coffee, it all tastes the same (trash)
till you develop a taste for it, then you gain a flavor of
brewers diffrent flairs for brew time, ingreadiants reagonal
qualities and stuff - soon your a drunk with taste -
talented but generally useless except to brewers who always
give you FREE BEER to perpetuate this "Harley-Davidson"
beer brewers mistique - Im in a position as a BEER Taster
for a few beer brewing clubs and lemme tell ya, theese boys
take this shit VERY SERIOUSLY -=-= and all i wanted was
mustard in my pretzels!

i am a mustard-eating french fry person. People always go, "eeww!" or
something.
i used to like peanut butter and sweet pickle sandwiches. I don't care for the
dill. Raw cucumbers give me heartburn though so i pass on 'em.
i drank a lotta beer in my kidhood and now i just embarrass my microbrewery
friends by accepting "weasel piss" american see-through beer. But then i get
pretty drunk from 3-4 bottles of it and it costs me about $4. So.
maybe it was when i drank 16 32-oz mugs of bass ale once at a party. I was bent
over, sitting on the ground cross-legged while my forehead was resting on the
cement. I was perfectly comfortable. In fact, if i even moved, the world swung
too much, so i stayed there for about 4 hours. I heard everything.
or maybe it was when people bought me 21 beefeaters-n-tonics for my 21st, and i
drank them all. Good thing i am sensible, so i walked home, about two miles.
Took me from 2am to 5 to get there; i fell asleep about every third lawn.
ever since then, i have been a cheap date...

#25/42: By: ZAPHOD (#41) : Welp, I must admit, Ill drink just
03/29/97 02:01am
about anything if I think its gonna do the job, I have my tastes though
Zima is actually a "malt bevrage" that is a malt brew that has been
heavely strained, shocked with rice alchahol the fizzed up with
selzer, though with midori -=-=- well we will see, sounds ah, intresting
I will drink MGD over any other american lawn mowing brew because
it it a corn beer, Its sweeter (for a lauger) then the compitition
and I like that, It also (due to corn rather then a good dose of
real grain) gives ya good "happy-fat" buzz then a "Oh my god wheres
the toilrt" buzz associated with BUD, mexican beers are good, they
tend to be a bit less watered down, but for my beer buget I needs
to be cheap (Im drinking a MGD as I write this) and thats that
I get to trink lots of exotic brews at beer compititions and
some of that stuff is real strange....about the best prouduction
line beers i can thin think of 1) Samuel smyths Walnut ail
(they were selling ail in the u.s. Waaay b-4 the current "fancy
micro brew" scare, next would be Bass ail, after that just about

'tribe: I've tried the ranch on fries. It's nasty. I don't understand
it. Slingblade doesn't interest me in the least, but then, I'm a Philistine and
damned proud [real men are uncircumcised, after all]. Jello shots are
interesting. I would rather they weren't made with vodka, however. I really
dislike vodka.
Zaph: Zima DEFINITELY does the job. IMO, while it's not the cheapest
way to get fucked up, it's definitely one of the best. 'Specially 'cause it
doesn't taste like a living room floor, like many alcohols. And with the
Midori, OH! Out of this fucking world. I must note, however, that Midori by
itself is terribly funky and at the very least should always be cold. MGD is
sweet? That's rather interesting, actually. OH! That reminds me, I wanna try a
Milk Stout! I tell ya, after David Rosengarten did his bit about beer on Taste
[I LOVE the TVFood Network!], it sounds dope. 'Specially since I'm one of the

should be a leathal combination, zima alone has no tast that i can reily
discern....reminds me of pereri i but in about 3/4 shot of midori (i have
a sweet tooth) Hmmmmm....now I think ( for some reason) this needs ice
..............Ahhh thats better.......good drink

Zaph: IMO, Zima tastes like...well, Zima. 3/4's of a shot, eh? I hope
that ain't for the entire bottle's worth. Anywho, yeah, unless the Zima ain't
cold, ice it. Called? Errr...I call it Zima with Midori. If the combo has a nam
other than that, I don't know it...though I'd love to be informed...
diat: "...tastes like candy, Ray. It's a...GIRL drink..."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
oh...mann...that's one of my all-time favourite sketches...
Zaph: I've no idea what they drink in the gay underworld, but if this
is it, I commend them on their impeccable taste. My original concotion involved
Rose's Grenadine instead of Midori, which I still partake in on occasion, but I
gotta admit...the waitress was right. I intro'd Zima & Midori to some chicks at
Helter Skelter an' they loved it! If they weren't all dykes I might have gotten
some...;> [Don't challenge me on this, either...I watched 'em kissin' each

is a drink made in west Africa- the women chew the banana peels and spit them
into a barrel to ferment. The men sit on a hill and drink it while the women
farm the land- this is their job. I learned this as school- go to college and
learn how to make beer.
Shirley Temples are definitely made with grenadine, though it tastes very much
like cherry.

wow. didn't know it came from England, and didn't know the Cadbury people made
the stuff. this is from Rose's Grenadine, *the* grenadine, at least from what
you can find at Vons.
what it doesn't say, mind you *anywhere* on the bottle at all, is that it
tastes just like cherry syrup, and is supposed to be just that.
can anyone post the ingredients of a jar of maraschino cherries?
mar-a-schi-no n. A cordial made from the crushed pits and fermented juice of
the marasca cherry.
gren-a-dine n. 1. A thick, sweet syrup made from pomegranates or red currants
and used as flavoring, esp. in beverages. 2. A thin openwork
fabric of silk, cotton, or a synthetic.
shares the same root as "grenade."
but this is very strange.
when you go into a 50s diner and order a cherry coke, they put grenadine into
it.
don't they?
