Finally, we're exporting some of our culture to China!

Corn Squeezins + International Relations for the win. :)

That is because it may have actually been charcoal lighter.

He's a Canuck, his place of residence can be found by entering his name into a search engine. He's a very open consultant in the field of distilling and sells equipment in Canada and the US. (edited by Ugly to keep his addy off this forum as per request - if you really want to see it, it's on his website.)

not very far from me :wink:

I buy off his site

Hey Ugly, it says he lives in Napean. I used to be posted to Petawawa a few years ago and had friends in the JTF that lived in Napean. Anyway, you said you buy off his site, does he sell out of a business/store too or only on line? Just curious cause next time I'm back up to see other friends in Chalk river and stuff I'd stop by.
Thanks

Trakker is an Aussie GB2 ... they don't have a white house.. :P :lol: :lol: :lol: Instead, the Aussie's have smaller cities with really nice beaches and babes all over the place. I've fallen in love with more than one on first sight. I'm going back (to Australia) in 3 years for a one year stint with Ms Ugly and family just so we can all get a taste of a different but related culture. I spent a year there doing some consulting on a corporate exchange for one of the big brewers. Loved every second of it, though I've never seen so many things that can bite, sting, kick and otherwise maim or kill a human all in one place. Though none of it quites compares to the pants shitting action of a moose charge...

As to the other question, I'm not aware of a store there, but if you fire off an email to his wife Eleanor at sales@home-distilling.com she'll set you right. Nice people, good service (not a shill, just my own experience).

They have a super fast lunge, granted, but actually chase you? They can't run worth beans.

"Crikey... did you see the bleedin' size of that thing, neely took me bloody arm right off. Lucky for me they can't run. I'm going to go back in the swamp and wrestle that begger right into the waiting nets. Let's hope I don't lose a leg right here with my lil gal in the boat looking on"

I miss that guy. RIP. There was a man who could work the ratings.

You wanna personally test that out? :lol: True, they can't 'run' in the same way a moose can, but they are pretty fast over a short distance on land.

No need, had the Mythbusters do it for me...

But to be clear, I have no real wish to be chased by anything that size ... ever. At all. Not even once for kicks, while drunk and being filmed for a million bucks.

Feels like a Dr. Zeus day somehow...

I live in Ottawa(nepean) and buy off Mr smiley , run runs the site out of his house and have had the pleasure of meeting his wife who dropped me off some supplies. Pretty nice people if you ask me, if you buy on the site online you can have the option to go pick it up, I usually Email just to confirm pick up time and avaliability of products. Pretty nice having them in my home town
