i don't know why,             in a litre, that's 250ml gone, on the basis that, working from 40%, i'm figuring, 40% - x = 37.5%, add the half and then add the 2... what do you get? 40%.                anyway...                  these "hard" spirits are perfect for mixers...                      you get a perfect mix of, say,           *dark *** & pepsi, to conjure up a sharpshooter known as blackbeard; and that really is a name for the most trivial cocktail.     and when i mean "hard", i do mean "hard". ever drink habsburg absinthe?         that's nearing the 100% mark...             or what one might call:    the 10,000 indicator for: what wasn't ran, but was drunk; zeno's paradoxical centimetre or inches or miles or kilometres come later, or at least last...    but this is fascinating... % = double negation given that kant said, 0 = negation... it's like a denial divided by denial...            i know the symbol suggests more omicron representation than a zee-ρ;     never mind... it's the perfect fraction... like a golden ratio, % = the perfect fraction. the thing is though...           i'm drinking this 37.5% dark *** and thinking... if this **** was at 40%...           i'd be worrying about not mixing it properly...             and this is a "hard" spirit after all... it's not exactly habsburg absinthe,         or a plum extract that's know by the name of śliwowica, common in the tatra mountains... which, like habsburg absinthe, is nearing            the ten thousand mark; but some strange reason 37.5% is the perfect partner for a mixer... say... *** & pepsi... whiskey & pepsi... ***** & pepsi...         at 40% you're thinking... posh whiskey, drank lukewarm... like a brandy / cognac. 37.5% is a ******* mystery to me...        i actually can perfect the sharpshooter concept with that balance... mingling 40% with a mixer is... is... just ****** hard...           sharpshooter? excess of spirit and a little bit of a mixer...      a bit like... a shandy... beer with a head of lemonade?                                 no? don't know it? 37.5%, and a litre of it?! and enough pepsi?   i call that a friday night... as a party soloist; oh i did to the laundry wasted today,       almost anything done drunk is fun as **** you get all autistic, making patterns out of the clothes and where they should hang on the washing-line...        red sock, blue sock... no... red sock red sock... here!        blue sock... tartan pattern blue sock... no...         ah! blue sock blue sock.... dangle here! well... you know... people have their alternative hobbies.

37.5% mystery / habsburg absinthe
i don't know why,             in a litre, that's 250ml gone, on the basis that, working from 40%, i'm figuring, 40% - x = 37.5%, add the half and then add the 2... what do you get? 40%.                anyway...                  these "hard" spirits are perfect for mixers...                      you get a perfect mix of, say,           *dark *** & pepsi, to conjure up a sharpshooter known as blackbeard; and that really is a name for the most trivial cocktail.     and when i mean "hard", i do mean "hard". ever drink habsburg absinthe?         that's nearing the 100% mark...             or what one might call:    the 10,000 indicator for: what wasn't ran, but was drunk; zeno's paradoxical centimetre or inches or miles or kilometres come later, or at least last...    but this is fascinating... % = double negation given that kant said, 0 = negation... it's like a denial divided by denial...            i know the symbol suggests more omicron representation than a zee-ρ;     never mind... it's the perfect fraction... like a golden ratio, % = the perfect fraction. the thing is though...           i'm drinking this 37.5% dark *** and thinking... if this **** was at 40%...           i'd be worrying about not mixing it properly...             and this is a "hard" spirit after all... it's not exactly habsburg absinthe,         or a plum extract that's know by the name of śliwowica, common in the tatra mountains... which, like habsburg absinthe, is nearing            the ten thousand mark; but some strange reason 37.5% is the perfect partner for a mixer... say... *** & pepsi... whiskey & pepsi... ***** & pepsi...         at 40% you're thinking... posh whiskey, drank lukewarm... like a brandy / cognac. 37.5% is a ******* mystery to me...        i actually can perfect the sharpshooter concept with that balance... mingling 40% with a mixer is... is... just ****** hard...           sharpshooter? excess of spirit and a little bit of a mixer...      a bit like... a shandy... beer with a head of lemonade?                                 no? don't know it? 37.5%, and a litre of it?! and enough pepsi?   i call that a friday night... as a party soloist; oh i did to the laundry wasted today,       almost anything done drunk is fun as **** you get all autistic, making patterns out of the clothes and where they should hang on the washing-line...        red sock, blue sock... no... red sock red sock... here!        blue sock... tartan pattern blue sock... no...         ah! blue sock blue sock.... dangle here! well... you know... people have their alternative hobbies.
