* makes sure she has stocked up on mischief *

Well hello there, fancy meeting you here

Seen mr. Trician lately?

Sorry Capting Pasternak, been rather busy with this new project...

http://pesn.com/2011/11/02/9501943_Rossis_E-Cat_Victory_on_Cold_Fusion_Emergence_Day--E-Day/

...and now it can be revealed...

the secret customer who received this brand spanking new 1 MegaloWatt NiHy cold-fusion power plant is.....


us.



...it'll just take a few minutes to hook it up and then we'll be able to run the SEP field thingy that Hagbard is always going on about, the air-conditioning, the mid-seas grabber device AND Talky-Toaster all at the same time.

alec.

Sounds almost too good to be true, but what the heck, I'm all for giving everything a chance - at least once

Like this new what I found, have one with me

..."What we do know about the company is that they are NOT the "big name" American company that was so widely talked about several weeks ago, and this new company/organization (or perhaps military entity) stepped up to the plate.
Rossi has stated in an email that, "THE CUSTOMER HAS BOUGHT THE E-CAT AS A MOBILE HEATER FOR REMOTE CAMPS." This seems to indicate to me that the organization may be related to the military. Also, Rossi's remark that it is the kind of company that does *everything* in secret, seems to add credence to that possibility..."

...if only they knew that it is now powering the nicest mightiest meanest pirate vessel on all the seven seas eh Capting Piriform ?

*Turns the BIG RED SWITCH thingy to activate the seamless transfer of power from the giant thundering great generators, each as big as an ice-cream truck, to that supplied from this small keg shaped device.*

*...as the noise from the generators dies down, only a quiet humming sound can be heard from the keg, which curiously enough still says 'ADNAMS' on the side and is now powering the entire vessel, from the backlog pumps to SnackBeards fairy lights in that nasty smelly nest thingy up the mast...*

Why thankyou Capting...I don't mind if I do

mmm...tastes like Bischoff

cheers Pierce...to your continuing good elf

alec.

Hmmm, according to this:

http://www.beerbible.net/beers/Bischoff-Stout.html

there is no description of this yet (except for the alcohol percentage being 5.2 percent)

Should we write a review?

How about this :

"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy"
(Tom Waits)

...and the bottle in front of me says Bischoff Premium Doppelbock
brewed in Winnweiler, which is somewhere in the Pfalz. This particular one says it has 7.5 % alcohol content...which is something the previous five bottles neglected to mention...

...Reinheitsgebot 1516 etc. etc...Kosher certified ???
The box claims that it's :
"A strong full-bodied bock bock beer that gives you wings despite and because of its inner strength and richness."

The website goes into paroxysms of praise :

"Deep Copper Mahogany colour, aromas of apple pie crust,mushroom broth and pumpernickel toast, with a crisp, dry-yet-fruity medium full body and a warm grassy herb, custard and cocoa accented finish.
An appetising food beer : pair with roasted duck. "

*hides the ducks*

erm......who writes this stuff?? er...and how much do they get paid??

alec.

Sounds like they are being paid with

I should warn you that our resident Mari-Rae may come by and ask permission to paint the generator room

Then again may she won't

Won't ask for permission, that is

Has anybody down here seen hickory. I seem to have lost track of him

Nope. Not recently

I'm around Hey, how about painting a Zaphod Beeblebrox theme on the diamond Plated Hatches and Marvin the android theme on the backlog pumps, and a hello kitty theme for the walls. It would really transform this room. hickory makes a quick exit before alec can reply

Wise move that last one, I guess

Perhaps the doctor should have a look at Mr. Snaglark Cap'n Proust...

I fear that he's not been taking his medications sir.

alec.

You think a look from the is enough?

It seems to me hickory is the one needing medication, not me.

We'll just ask the to dope anybody looking like you - including you

When she has time to do any doctoring here

Hello! Captain has suggested I give this place a lift with a bit of paint. I was going to do Hello Kitty, but maybe this would be better for you?

cold fusion,--really
maybe you better add some footprints so we can tell where we can walk and don't stumble into a generator.

Interesting. Might grow on me - given time
