So 2 measure of gin, 1 measure of tequila with a splash of Kahlua?
Anyone heading out to the pubs/bars/warm up parties let us know.
Lets just say Earth, for arguments sake (Im really on Uranus, but that`s another matter altogether).
Is this an appropriate sig or what?
…dammit…

Over crushed glass. That would be one hell of a drink!
I dunno, Gin and tequila ok (questionable without a chaser) But the kahlua would just ruin it. I think it would be really close to a 1920’s style death in a glass. THe point of this drink should be like a Vodka martini; a mule kick in the head yes. But a kick with style! Radial fins on the glass would also help.
I propose blue tequila 1 oz. 1 1/2oz shaphire gin with 1 oz sprite. mix with ice and shake with twits of limon and lime
I would like to find a way to sneek at least one other liqour of no less then 80 proof in there, perhaps some grey goose, or vermouth but I think the mixture might be off. Thank god it’s friday and we can get to bar…er lab
Frixx you can’t bail on us now!! True the Death Ray has been banned, but it’s spirt can live on in bars everywhere. Think about it, we can make a drink and go to our favorite bars and order it, appearing heros to the rubes, while secrealy knowing the SDMB rules all through our subverseve meathods
Dammit!
I meant ice.
really.
Sure.
It should be S&Mboy :eek:
freak. :wally
Hey folks - enough with the alcohol chat. Go to IMHO or MPSIMS with that kind of conversation. Let’s stay on topic.
Okay. Someone mentioned on the previous page that death ray research was being conducted in late 19th century France. I think we might all find this weblink to be quite enlightening.

We also haven’t mentioned the Panellis, Dr. Erastus G. Swakhammer, Evelyn Culpepper, J. J. Gervaise, Hart Maxwell, or virtually all of the companies that made death rays in the 1920’s.
That’s mainly because no one asked, of course, but still…
Ok, I’m in…I’ll be at O’Hare airport tonight and I’ll test your concoction…I’ll order it with a twist of lemon first and try that…then I’'ll order “Hans Zarkoff Death-ray” that will contain the afore mentioned Kaluha…
Monkey Mule…not a slam but you had me dying (with laughter) with that “twits” of limon and lime…I’ll probably talk like that after my second drink!:eek:
A major problem in the developement of a truly portable, even hand held, death ray, was what to do the all the heat generated as a by product.
The Amazingly Complex Tickle Ray™ of 1919 was actually the first to over this obstacle, though it was on a very small scale compared to the energy requirements of a true death ray. (Several people did die laughing, but it was not a true “death” ray.)
The solution was inelegant, but it worked. A small capillary tube shunted the excess energy to a small jar of pickles before the energy became heat. This was first incorporated in Poland. Of course, this is also how Polish Pickles are made.
For the death ray, a solution of brine was smeared all over the weapon and the operator, and then the operator had to stand in a pool full of vineger.
This was deemed as incredibly inconvenient and new solutions were sought.
How did i miss this thread for so long?
I’ll just have to whip out my phaser-cutting phaser to counter all this 1920’s style death ray nonsense! But soon i will complete the ultimate weapon, the 1920’s style death ray-cutting 1920’s style death ray!!!
All shall fall before Dr. Tars Von Tarkas!
The smell…that ozone and singed hair smell…I love the smell of Death Rays in the morning.
Hey Tars,
I noticed the Mars location…they must still have 1920’s style internet access!

I believe the problem was overcome by substituting the brine with a precise mixture of milk Ovaltine™ and Bosco™. The details are sketchy because most of this information remains classified to this very day.
and let’s not forget this all important 19th Century France Death Ray Site

I’ve been corresponding with a friend about the Brazilian Tucker, and he mentioned that the engine had been pulled from the car, which leads me to believe that whomever is in possession of the car is planning on outfitting it with a cloak as well as the death ray.
Additionally, GQ, IIRC, Nicky Tesla had designs for broadcast power equipment that was small enough to fit into a Tucker with the cloak and death ray installed. Also, Tucker himself had plans for building a car equipped with four small turbines nestled in the wheel wells to provide motive power for the vehicle. Correct me if I’m wrong, but such a configuration would allow not only for the installation of a cloak and death ray, but also a recharge time of only a few minutes.
Tesla did work on the design for that you are correct, but he couldn’t get R.E. Olds 1864 ~ 1950 to develop an assembly line to support this contraption which enraged Tesla to the point of insanity. The 1920’s style Death-Ray on wheels had a 2 minute 35 second recharge if the vehicle maintained a 35KPH. Alternately, if the Death-Ray was used independently, it had a 1 minute 48 second recharge rate.
When I get back from vacation, the first thing I’m gonna do is to see if zhlf210 has any new posts. This is someone that knows how to ask a question. I salute you, one and all.
Good thing we’re so close to earth now, i’m getting 2800 baud access!!!
Is that the one with the supplemental flywheel? I can’t find my reference material and I want to keep the models straight.
