Did you know, if you empty a rum bottle (except for the dregs in the bottom) and seal the top and then run hot water on the closed bottle for a minute, it will build up pressure and you can remove the cap and ignite the opening of the bottle neck? (But you gotta move quick to do it right.)Yeah, I done it many times. Always a blue flame. DIDN'T KNOW THAT!
Speaking of rum bottle.........I guess I should go get this one ready for tomorrow night, if you know what I mean. Please have a happy and SAFE 4th, doggers. We'll have a rollcall Sunday morning and see who survived. Hey, Warden, where's my rum (bottle)?
