I'm not sure which part you're hazy on, so I'll elaborate on the process: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picts "The Picts were a confederation of tribes in what later was to become central and northern Scotland from Roman times until the 10th century. They lived to the north of the Forth and Clyde. They are often assumed to have been the descendants of the Caledonii and other tribes named by Roman historians or found on the world map of Ptolemy, though the evidence for this connection is circumstantial and the issue of "Pict" origins remains controversial among historians. Pictland, also known as Pictavia, became the Kingdom of Alba during the 10th century and the Picts became the Fir Alban, the men of Scotland." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peat Peat is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation matter. Peat forms in wetlands or peatlands, variously called bogs, moors, muskegs, pocosins, mires, and peat swamp forests. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bog_body Bog bodies, also known as bog people, are preserved human bodies found in sphagnum bogs in Northern Europe, Great Britain and Ireland. Unlike most ancient human remains, bog bodies have retained skin and internal organs due to the unusual conditions of preservation. Under certain conditions, the acidity of the water, the cold temperature and the lack of oxygen combine to tan the body's skin: skeletal preservation is very rare in these bodies, as the acid in the peat dissolves the calcium carbonate of bone. The bodies provide very useful research material for archaeologists. Some of the bodies retain intricate details like tattoos and fingerprints. C.H. Vogelius Andersen was astonished to find that Graubelle Man’s hand prints were clearer than his own. The stubble and facial features of Tollund man are particularly well preserved. [img] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_whisky Scotch whisky is whisky made in Scotland. In Britain, the term whisky is usually taken to mean Scotch unless otherwise specified. In the United States, it is often referred to as "Scotch". Scotch whisky is divided into four distinct categories: single malt, vatted malt (also called "pure malt"), blended and single grain. Malting Malt whisky production begins when the barley is malted—by steeping the barley in water, and then allowing it to get to the point of germination. Malting releases enzymes that break down starches in the grain and help convert them into sugars. When the desired state of germination is reached the malted barley is dried using smoke. Many (but not all) distillers add peat to the fire to give an earthy, peaty flavour to the spirit. tl;dr version: Dead folks in the British isles had a habit of ending up in bogs, peat comes from bogs, malt whisky is made with peat. This is how my mind works, folks; what can I say? |

| ___________________________________________ [Jan 25,2008 11:23am - largefreakatzero ""] [img] It's Irish Whiskey, not Scotch, but one of my faves. |
| _________________________________________ [Jan 25,2008 11:42am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Tullamore is pretty much a staple around here - my girlfriend and I are living with her folks at the moment (saving up dough and getting bills paid off), and they're all about being super-duper wicked Irish all the time, so, whiskey. Her dad'll drink Jameson's, but Tullamore's his main brand. (You've gotta love a guy who has multiple brands of whiskey on hand at any given point - 'cause, you know, a man likes to have options. You hate to get caught with just one brand - what would the neighbors think?) I enjoy Irish whiskey as well, but I'll usually go with Scotch myself when I have the option. I hadn't had Bowmore before the bottle I killed last night, but I think I have a brand, now. It's got a real nice fire to it; nice smoky taste. Not too pricey, either, and it's a single malt. Mmmm. |

Hahahaha, phew! Now I know I am not the only one who does that. For some ungodly reason on New Years Eve I started cycling through my phone and made a few random inappropriate phone calls. One of them was to Timmy Porphyria and he was like "Who the fuck is this?". I also called my drummer and apparently left the most incoherent drunked voice mail. Good shit - and cheap too! [img] |

| ________________________________________ [Jan 25,2008 1:12pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] Everybody's got hectic schedules during the week, so it ends up being Friday by default. The advantage being that we can go 'till late o'clock and not have to worry about work in the morning. |
| ______________________________ [Jan 25,2008 1:28pm - Yeti ""] haha yeah practicing on Friday nights never fared too well with us, it would do just that, become a drunk/drug fest. |

| __________________________________________ [Jan 25,2008 4:31pm - largefreakatzero ""] We practice Tues/Thurs and, don't get me wrong, neither night is a demonstration of sobriety, but we still get things done. |

| _______________________________ [Jan 25,2008 7:37pm - Hoser ""] If you haven't tried any of the Islay Scotches, I would highly recommend that you do. Bowmore is piss. Try some "Talisker" or "Laphroaig." Very peaty Scotches....expensive, but a little bit O' Heaven....I do say. [img] [img] |

| ________________________________________ [Jan 26,2008 2:20am - DestroyYouAlot ""] I'm intimately familiar with Laphroaig, as with an old lover (one that steals all my money and makes me black out). Speaking of which, tabbing back through my browser from last night is fucking hysterical. I don't know what the fuck I was looking for. All I know is apparently at some point I decided I needed to download a Pixies album. |
