Hrothgar's Comments

There were similar flare guns used during the Civil War. They did not shoot a projectile as modern flare guns do today. A preloaded cartridge containing compounds that would burn in different colors or sequences of colors. The user selected the appropriate cartridge, loaded it into the gun, held it high overhead and pulled the trigger. It was essentially a pyrotechnic version of a flashlight.
There are a few Civil War examples here: http://armscollectors.com/mgs/flare_pistols.htm

Little known fact: The original McAdam (blacktop) road surfaces came in two styles. Creamy and Crunchy. This is a sample of the latter.

I've had a cow creamer that has been puking half and half in my wife's coffee for about 20 years. And it was old when I bought it. So the concept is not new, but the execution is wonderful.

Dry ice is frozen CO2 and in a small enough piece to fog up a martini glass is pretty safe. In fact, as it sublimates, it will add soda-like bubbles do the beverage. Of course, you would not want to add dry ice to shooters, however sipping your foggy brew will not harm you.

I still use Dear XXXX as a salutation and Sincerely, yours above the signature, but only on paper correspondence.

Emails and digital communications usually get a "Hi or Hello" if even that.

It would be a shame to lose the Dear salutation altogether. Who would want a "Hi John" letter?

Back in the 1980s there was a bottled carbonated espresso called Bibbicaffe(sp?) Had some on a restaurant in Seattle. it was served over ice with a lemon wedge. It was great stuff. Probably went out of business, as I haven't seen anything like it in the last 10 years or so.
I'd give this Suntory stuff a try.
