I take it then Geek, you didn't have the curried badger face. Did you go for the boiled bulls tongue instead?

Stay safe old chum - you know what they say about Lithuanian hookers...........

Found a restaurant that just does steak thank god! I'm assuming it's cow

There are a fair few orthodox looking churches in the old town and the tour guide last night said they were mainly Slavic in origin....people not churches!

Well, crap.  I always though mead was like a thick beer...like Guiness to the max or something.  Huh.  Now I have to go back and re-read Game of Thrones, but think wine instead of beer everytime they drink mead.

Can you buy mead in the States?  I think I'd like to try it now, just so I can be well-learned.

Yes, you absolutely can.  Just head to a well-stocked liquor store, typically one that also carries some wines. 

There are numerous companies who make mead here in the states, plus you can often find some imports too.  There is one or two British ones that are pretty dry and heavy.  I think a bottle usually runs me between $12 and $20 a bottle here in KC.   Good for getting your initial beer buzz to another level if you have a couple glasses later on, too.

Some come with a spice pack and instructions on how to 'Mull' it (aka heat it up) if that's something you wanna try.  I just dunk it straight and cold. 


From what I understand, Mead was drank in more northern latitudes long ago because grains were more precious due to shorter seasons and more limited farmland.  So they more often used bee honey to make liquor.

Alright, I'm going to look into this and get back to you.  There's a nice liquor store pretty close to my house.

Dunno how friendly they are at yours but ask them which is the light & sweet one and which is the heavier dry one.  They should know if they've been running the place for awhile, if only from others telling them.  I'd recommend trying one of each but, as I said, I prefer the less 'foofoo' heavier stuff, in case you only get one.

Each and every one I'm working with is

They've got the tall Scandinavian, blonde hair thing coupled with that dirty fk me, cheekbone thing Slavic girls have

Sadly there is an exception to the rule and the ginger haired Sherman that cleans my room is the only one that wants me!

So, the biggest question I have out of this whole thread:  What was the name of the original Harry Potter novel before it came to America?

[bob48]

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

[Gusington]

All hot? Blimey. Time to head for the Google.

[BanzaiCat]

Yep on Philosopher's Stone. American publishers didn't think American readers would get the connection that a philosopher's stone was a legendary object. Which is a good indication of what American publishers think of their audiences, especially considering the shite that they publish, in general.
