I was in the drink it camp right up until

the experts found bone remains and a gold ring at the bottom of the glass vessel.

It must have been a bone dry white wine though

I’ve had homemade distilled rice wine before that had tobacco leaves, a starfish, and a lizard in the bottle. It was actually really good.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
