A new lesson learned in life, dedicated to our Balkanese friends:

Old moonshine Slivovitz from Bosnia is yummy,
Aufgesetzter made from it with cherries is even better,
having a dead maggot from the cherry swimming in your glass doesn't improve the drink and certainly doesn't make it Mezcal


(is there an English word for "Aufgesetzter"?)

No silly you only need that after too much Aufgesetzer.

According to good ol' Google it translates as 'top mount' Perfect sense! And the wiki entry links to creme de cassis so I think we get the picture.

In Pristina my boss used to buy 'vodka' from the locals (why not the Russians who were camped next to us?) and it smelled very much like anti-freeze - once mixed with diet coke it tasted fine - I do wear glasses now though.

I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Actually Creme de Cassis is a little different, as they crush the berries.
Aufgesetzter is ethanol or hard liqour, sugar and berries/fruits of your choice - some even use magic mushrooms for it.
Mix it all together in a bottle, leave it for a couple of time then pray to the gods of your choice and drink up

I had some simular liquor in England, nearly 20 years ago, which the local drinkers in the park recommended. It was the cheapest harder stuff, but they warned me that it can make you blind. Can't remember the name, but it was a regular brand. I already had glasses/contacts at this time though

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

The main proof of my superior inteligence is the fact that I am stil alive, despite my extreme stupidity

[Sailor Steve]

I thought I was wrong once.

Turned out I was mistaken.

A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

I could agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong!
