There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the TrashEpics SciFi/Fantasy Challenge...

Blasting off with an opening day just shy of 10 hours, Onyx flew into the lead and hasn't looked back since. A solid combo of classic movies and TZ eps sees her top of the dark tower at this early stage. The chasing pack is led by TV addicts Troma (Dark Shadows) & Ballz (Twilight Zone). beatnik's turning Japanese (at least I think so) to help him lie just shy of third.

Less than 1000 points seperate the mid table mediocrity, from foz in fifth down to zed in 12th. Gym started his challenge before anyone, having clocked up 2 movies first thing on the 1st Sept. Sadly for him it also appears to be the end of the challenge. Special mitigations for special peoples sees Smerd handed a hefty one point bonus by the authorities as an incentive to join in late.

The problem is every time I reach perfection with that one I black out and don't remember the ingredients and have to start all over.

emoticon Sounds like the start of a newfangled Flaming Moe!

The problem with those flaming drinks is it burns off the alcohol. Lost Horizon will definitely be flammable though - a drink with that name has to be in my opinion. The real question is what other alcohols to mix with the 151 - that's why I keep experimenting and keep blacking out. Oh yeah, and Blue Curacao. I ended up with a bottle of that stuff after a party and started figuring out how many different blue drinks I could make and it became a key ingredient in the Lost Horizon experiments.

By the way, peeps, my codolences on the death of Harry Dean Stanton. We just recently had a discussion about how much we liked him and I immediately thought of you when I read he had passed this morning. Here's one for Harry!

emoticon for Harry Dean Stanton! Or as he says in Repo Man: "Look at those assholes, ordinary fucking people. I hate 'em. "

Geez, beatnik... be careful experimenting! It's not good if you keep blacking out (well, maybe it is)... emoticonemoticon
151 is kind of egh, imo... emoticon I recently made a tincture with abv and 151 rum by soaking the used herb for about 2 months and it was hell to get down. I only used like 1 mL of the stuff too, but gack! It tasted terrible... also did not have the desired effect I was looking for (I think I need to use green, unvaped herb for better end result). I'm on a break form that anyway, so I'll pick up the pieces in a few months.
Blue curacao on the other hand is interesting... I used to make "Romulan ale" with that when I lived in LA. My friends and i would mix vodka or gin (or everclear if we could get it) with it and something else I can't recall. It tasted decent and would knock you on your ass. Props to Romulans!

Yeah, I was lamenting Stanton's death when I found out last Friday. I rewatched Alien and quaffed some braus in his honor. He was a bomb character actor and in so many underappreciated gems over the years. I gotta rewatch Repo Man soon. it's been years and years.....

emoticon I was describing old experimentation mostly. The lost horizon has been on my back burner for some time and I haven't really blacked out from drinking for years. The last time I drank enough to do that I was puking my guts out the car window as we drove home down dark country roads and I decided I was definitely too old to do that sort of thing anymore. I still imbibe, of course - gak! - life without any libations would be dreadful. As Tom Waits said, "Reality is for people who can't face drugs."

We had a friend who got amazing results from his tinctures, but he had a lot of disposable income which he invested into them. I tried a shot of straight 151 once - my reaction was like one of those cartoon characters with his mouth on fire. Wowza!

I've been puked on by a few friends. It's kind of a bonding thing - that you want to wash off right away.

I look forward to Lost Horizoning with you peeps!
