The Anything Thread

[soapbox]

Well in Dennis's defense, he never did say what he was busy with. Besides if you haven't been reading Jesse's posts, he has stop moving for two days and is visiting people, by which I believe he means that he is feeding his B&B addiction. :biggrin:

:whistling: maybe.

It's nice to keep tabs on you yobs while I'm in the midst of total upheaval. Quit a job, packed up everything I own into a 26-foot van, bought a house, got a job, and started driving. Mrs. Soapbox and I aren't known for spreading the stress out: we concentrate it.

[soapbox]

Actually, Jesse's moving AND sending out samples. If that isn't B&B love, I don't know what is.


Indeed. Jesse is an amazing person is he not? :thumbup1:

:blushing: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing:

Y'all are very kind and worthy folks. True, one wants to keep one's prospective customers (and buddies) happy. But, it's not just a capitalist urge -- I don't own any part of the soap company, and Mom and Dad are in good health, so I'm working with them on the shave soap for love of the game, and the challenge. I've learned a lot about making shave soap, and it feels good to help them. Plus, I'm just excited to share the lime soap. It smells so good!

[soapbox]

sweet! I'm closer to Texarkana, didn't figure you'd go that far North to end up on I-30, so I assumed (bad Jim, bad!) you'd take 20. Awesome! :thumbup1:
I'll see what I can do to be there!

Edit: as now obvious, I'm sandwiched between the two, being 30 minutes for TXK, and about an hour from Marshall

Oh hell yeah! I'd love to have lunch with you and Paul both. What a great way to break up the long stretch between Oxford, MS and Denton. :w00t:

Lime soap?

Is that what happened to Chip?

C'mon, fess up!!!

Chip far predates the GMSC lime soap. For real.

[RichGem]

Chip far predates the GMSC lime soap. Musgo Monster For real.



ftfy. :wink:

But, for real indeed. I suspect that yours truly may have had something to do with the limeyness of the soap. hehehe

And it's also true about Chip's predating.... some very few of us even remember the days before Chip became limecat. :eek: 'Course we had to submit our posts via punch card (chip had to use telegraph, then punchcard), but somehow, the avatars looked remarkably good.

I am suggesting that the appearance of the tallow based lime soap and the disappearance of Chip might be related. The Major Case Squad is on the way right now.

Although Limecat fat would render a very nice limey tallow, I imagine.

:blink:

Say, aren't spouses usually the first suspect?

Question if this soap does indeed contain Limecat, would that make us cannibals if we use it? :blink:

Never eat the soap.

It should be there tomorrow. :biggrin:


Hmmm Isn't this a tallow soap?! :biggrin:

Yep. But Col. Soapbox says that human "depot fat (http://www.jlr.org/cgi/content/abstract/5/3/343)" doesn't make particularly good soap. Particularly not Canadian fat.

[blackfoot]

http://relliott4.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/dunecat.jpg

I love that! Sadly, the people who get that are becoming scarcer.

I hear it has to do with too high of a maple syrup content.

[blackfoot]

One would think the opposite since they need extra fat to stay warm.

[gollum83]

Will do. :eek:


Yep. But Col. Soapbox says that human "depot fat (http://www.jlr.org/cgi/content/abstract/5/3/343)" doesn't make particularly good soap. Particularly not Canadian fat.

And how does he know that exactly? :eek2:

On second thought, I don't want to know. :scared:

[blackfoot]

Will do. :eek:

Never ask questions to which you do not want the answer. I have to tell my boss that all of the time. :biggrin:

Yes. They don't know what they're missing.

The explanation is pretty simple, but I'm not sure you need to know.

[Dubbya]

I could have done without that part, but it did get some ladies I know interested in Sci-Fi for the first time.

See? What did I say?

Amazing the scrawny Mark Hamill didn't do it.

[gollum83]

Like Sting in his underwear. :eek:

Thanks for that! I could have done without it, and heck the whole 1984 film for that matter. :eek:

Now that miniseries adaptation that they did on SciFi a few years back wasn't too bad though.

[gollum83]

The explanation is pretty simple, but I'm not sure you need to know.

Okay, I'll bite. What is the explanation? :huh:

Only to those important enough to do so. :cool:

[sol92258]

I really need to watch that a 2nd time. I've seen it once, so most of it is vague stuff that I can only recall when someone mentions it. It's only been about 20 years ago :tongue_sm

[gollum83]

Only the horrid 1984 film version. The book is way, way, way better. :biggrin:

Read Dune. The miniseries took some liberties. You should know what they are.

Of course they took liberties. This is Dune we're talking about. There's so many intricacies in the novel you need a score card to keep track of them all. Besides, you really think your average television audience would get all of them anyway?

[blackfoot]

huh?

Please tell me you aren't serious.

I'm still here. Gee whiz, you act like I went AWOL or something.

Ah, yes. You're like some sort of repository for crappy 80's scifi/fantasy movies aren't you? Let's see, you've pulled out Conan the Barbarian and Dune tonight... What's next? :tongue:

Oh yeah. My permit expired at the end of May and I didn't renew it. It was an easy job to get and an easy job to quit. I have something else going on right now that is getting in the way of my education. And the work around is fairly time consuming. I'll let you know as it comes together.

Is there a chance? Yes. Do I know what English Fern smells like? no. If we find out, we'd have to work with a perfumery to re-formulate the scent, but yeah, it can be done. Trouble is, would enough people buy it to make it worth the production (and the boxes, which requires a surprisingly large investment)?

So instead of selling Paul the English Fern, you douchebags ought to sell it to me so I can give it to the Colonel so he can make more so he can sell it to Paul... :lol:

[blackfoot]

Blake, do you like it? Is it as good as the soap?

Never had the soap. I just got it in time for my convention last weekend. I actually liked it. My only problem is I don't think I should use the Clubman with it.

How similar is the cologne to the stick, smell-wise? One would expect them to be similar, but sometimes colognes are somewhat different because they are made to smell a certain way once applied to your skin, so the two products might smell differently in their un-applied state. That stuff is expensive so I'm looking for a cheap way to identify the smell you want without having to purchase an $80.00 cologne bottle or $45 shave soap (crikey!).

Just in time for Limegust, if you ask me. And you'll be doing Jesse and Co. a favor by beta testing. What more could a guy want?

[tg16]

I'm having trouble finding a re-supply of the "Cherry Vanilla" napalm.

I have a few drums stashed away. I could spare 2.

How similar is the cologne to the stick, smell-wise? One would expect them to be similar, but sometimes colognes are somewhat different because they are made to smell a certain way once applied to your skin, so the two products might smell differently in their un-applied state. That stuff is expensive so I'm looking for a cheap way to identify the smell you want without having to purchase an $80.00 cologne bottle or $45 shave soap (crikey!).

I don't know about the cologne. I know the soap is the Nuts!


Just in time for Limegust, if you ask me. And you'll be doing Jesse and Co. a favor by beta testing. What more could a guy want?

I'll be using the lime predominantly to be sure. However, I doubt that it will be exclusive. I've got some Castle Forbes Lime AS that I haven't even been able to use. This Jularlington is killing me!

[soapbox]

Mmm... that gives me an idea. Hey, Jesse, feel like taking a little detour for us? I want you to go over the Paul's house, locate his shave den, and take away all his shaving software except for the Arlington. Feel up to it? :devil:

I gotta say, unless his shave den is really limited, it won't fit in the moving van. We really packed it tight. :001_tongu

Well just think about it. You could even snag yourself a couple nice razors while you're over there depleting his shave den of items of the non-Arlington variety courtesy of Paul's 'generosity'. :wink:

I say probation. Under the terms of which, you must both read the book and see the miniseries. Also, Children of Dune may be in order for continuity's sake.


Of course they took liberties. This is Dune we're talking about. There's so many intricacies in the novel you need a score card to keep track of them all. Besides, you really think your average television audience would get all of them anyway?

But it was on Sci-Fi. That brings to mind one word. Trekkies. If they can't keep up with the intricacies, no one can.

I think it's hard to contain the exuberance of Matt. Good, ill, funny, or insulting, I think a place like the court Jester would be a great find for him. He could entertain you with stories of his cold-blooded killer kitty and such. I expect the exchanges with Paul and Blake to continue unabated, but perhaps with an understanding of camaraderie. With a proposed addition of Fnord5 as court composer, one could consider the court in an expansion phase anyway.

I do note that merely getting Matt a new title doesn't guarantee that said new title would be any more pleasant -- intercession doesn't mean RichCzar has ultimate sway over their title choices...

I got mine about an hour ago. :001_tt2: and +1 to Matt.

I just got up and it was waiting on the stairs for me. My wife got the mail while I was asleep. :w00t:

Thanks guys. It is a huge relief to have her working again. And she is excited about it, so I am happy. And here was the lime soap on the stairs for the celebration! I now ave one advantage to working nights. I get to use this soap on the last day of Julime since I shave at night. :w00t:

:jump:

Well gents, I couldn't wait to try that wonderful smelling lime soap. So I have gone ahead and shave with it, despite the fact that I primarily shave in the morning. My initial thoughts of the soap can be summed up in the the following: Thank the Gods! :w00t:

I mean the smell is great, but gets so much better when lathered on your face. I mean it's probably the closest thing to Castle Forbes Lime it terms of scent I have experienced thus far, although my experience in all things lime is probably a bit limited compared to some of you so take that as you will. But still, I think we have a winner here. Give my regards to your folks, Jesse! :thumbup:

Congratulations Blake. :a50:

W00t! I'm so glad it arrived for all of y'all. We sent 11 pucks total this round.

Tomorrow will be a big day: three test batches are scheduled. None of them will be scented at this point, but we've gathered a selection of essential oils to work on the sage/lemongrass and possibly some others. It's possible we'll do a bayberry batch, but (a) it's not an essential oil, but rather a fragrance oil, and (b) we don't know the particulars of how the scents affect the lather, so we want to test the recipes first, prior to adding scents.

BTW, during discussions with Mom and Dad tonight, I was reminded of just how dangerously smart my folks are. I mean, yikes. I have to bring my "A" game just to keep up.

In slightly less exuberant news, I managed to find a yellowjacket nest today the hard way, at Green Mountain Soap Company. Ow. One of the little bastards even followed me inside and stung me once more before I killed him.

Dad took revenge by nuking the site from orbit (it's the only way to be sure), but man those stings hurt. Luckily no stings on the face or neck, so I can at least get a nice shave tomorrow :smile:

Ouch! Try making a paste with baking soda and water. That should lessen the sting.

Thanks! We didn't have any baking soda or meat tenderizer at the soap plant so (I swear I am not making this up) Dad made me a very light solution of lye instead. I found it deliciously funny, nerdy, and I suppose it lessened the sting. The beer with dinner seems to have helped a lot, too... :blush:

I could see that. A light lye solution is used in commercial pickles, pretzels and toothpaste. It is also used to adjust a PH.

Lye? I had no idea you could use lye on stings, or should I say the idea never occurred to me, not that I would want to. I burned a hole in my hand a few years back as an undergrad thanks to a some careless classmate of mine. Apparently it never occurred to her that she shouldn't splash concentrated lye all over the freaking lab. :rolleyes:

It really isn't something that you would want to do unless you knew what you were doing. And I'm sorry you got burnt.

Ant stings (e.g.) hurt because they are formic acid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formic_acid) -- so neutralizing the acid stops the hurt. Yeah, some of the acid gets below the skin, and you shouldn't inject baking soda (or lye!), but the base does help the burn. Better to use ammonia, but we didn't have any of that either!

Well ironically she was a fellow chemistry major. You would have though she knew better. :rolleyes:

Sure, the chemistry all makes sense. Just never thought of it, not that I ever have any lye laying around when I get stung to test it. :biggrin:

You don't keep large quantities of lye on hand at all times? And to think, you used to be an assassin. :cool:
