I've known goose eye to make pretty vague posts, but this one takes the cake. (They're pretty vague even after deciphering the typed version of a Southern drawl.)
Making up a new word (even if it isn't) to describe this: confuzzled.

I'm not even going try to make a comment on this thread.

However I did have a very nasty experience yesterday while distilling some fine Brandy.
It all began when I decided to tidy up the shed. Bad mistake. As I was moving stuff from one stupid place to another more stupid place, I went into a seldom used corner and found TEN LITRES of HGGGP white dog, double distilled ranging from 80abv to 40abv which I had obviously put there to work on later and forgot it.
So now I have that ten litres to attend to - actually the 40abv stuff is OK as it is - plus the thirteen litres of double distilled Brandy.
Such is life, with apologies to Ned Kelly.

Actually melange was the creation of Frank Herbert in the Dune books.mtnwalker2 wrote:Robert A. H. One of my most favorite authors.tater wrote:ah the spiceUncle Jesse wrote:his stuff is so good it works like melange and lets him see into the future
But agreed, Heinlein was one of the absolute masters of the art.
He also authored one of my favourite quotes:
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Re: halo
Now we've gone from halo to eta. Goose eye, you're not a member of a Basque separatist movement are you? Somewhere in my memory I recall that eta was short for some phrase about homeland and freedom for the Basque.goose eye wrote:eta
