  1. Thank the stars above Dutchie NEVER leaves his fenders danglin'.
  2. It is very similar to how the pain of a heart attack often gives the sensation of pain in the left arm. During fetal development, the heart is formed high up in the chest cavity- nearly in the neck. As it descends, it captures an arm nerve and pulls it down with the heart. Now that nerve is somewhat connected to both the arm and the heart. Most of your life when you have pain along that nerve you have just injured your arm, so your brain learns, "pain in that nerve=pain in arm". Then, lo-and-behold you get heart pain which also travels along that nerve so your brain thinks that your arm in hurting. If you want me to really get all "New Agey", I can talk about the human energy fields and how a physical limb removal still leaves the etheric limb intact. Stimuli to that field can still communicate to the brain as if the limb were still there..... but I won't go there.
  3. Aye, Tomato Pie is one of my favorite Summer-time treats... In fact we had some last week. I did not know that it is "freezable" though, will have to try that.
  4. StinkPot Rule #1: Prepare and store to Leeward !! Traditionally, there seem to be two favored types of stinkpot: one with a flame, and one with no flame. (let's not throw a flaming...anything into the powder room) First, have the crew save up their fish guts... need I say more...? In a few days (or weeks) you end up with a nice grayish sludge. Place this in clay pots and 'Heave Away Joe" !! The other method primarily involves pots of burning sulfur. The stench of burning sulfurous compounds can be quite stifling. Sometimes one would ADD the "fish digest" to the sulfur mixture for an especially pleasant effect. On a more modern note: there is a product called, "LIQUID ASS". Yes, I said liquid ass !! Go to www.liquidass.com for description and several funny (gut-wrenching) videos. Guaranteed to break-the-ice at parties! For those with chemistry backgrounds, here is a list of chemicals with noted aroma... Thiols Methanethiol (used rarely, it is a gas and therefore more difficult to handle than liquids) Ethanethiol deer urine Propanethiol Butanethiol, Eau de skunk Pentanethiol Other sulfur compounds Hydrogen sulfide, smelling of rotten eggs (Dangerous! Is as toxic as Hydrogen Cyanide) Carboxylic acids Propanoic acid, smelling like sweat Butanoic acid, strong foul smell, effective and long-lasting Pentanoic acid Hexanoic acid, smelling of cheese Aldehydes Amines Ethylamine, fishy smell Putrescine, smelling of rotten meat Cadaverine, smelling of rotten meat Heterocyclic compounds Indole Skatole, smelling of feces
  5. Silkie, I am soooo jealous. I would love to sail on the Nykle.
  6. I have always said that many "bikers" are modern-day pirates... And that is based primarily on the attitude, not on the crimes thay may-or-may-not commit !
  7. Let me know if you need any help on that figurehead. What have you got in mind? I had some ideas too.
