A twofer this time. Part 1: Beetle Bailey Cream 6 parts single (whipping) cream 2 parts Lyres American Malt 1/2 part thin Chocolate syrup (e.g. Monin, or the now discontinued Alchemy Divine) Combine and stir to mix. I am reliably informed that it tastes at least as good as a certain named Irish Cream. Serve as-is or... Part 2: YB35 (because it is 2/3 of a B52) 15 ml Lyres Coffee Liqueur 15 ml Beetle Bailey Cream Pour the Coffee Liqueur into a shot glass or shot martini glass. Gently spoon the Beetle Bailey cream on top so that it forms a distinct layer. The result is rich, slightly sweet, and full of the caramel malt coffee you would hope for in such a drink. As I did not have any orange-based not-spirits to hand, this is where I stopped, hence the YB35. If you were to add a third layer of such, I would then call it a Valkyrie (the XB-70).
If you're going to disallow solar flares I'm going to go with superhero tabloids getting the science of what they're seeing wrong and go with what's actually a volcanic eruption...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that's an easy enough mistake to make if you're trying to observe from a safeish distance whilst ducking for cover...
Fry the grid, satellites, and all communications... bring warmongers and nations to their knees, selectively.
ReplyDeleteYou might be able to grow food crops selectively, in a comic book version; and heal 'dark sickness' and of course, cause radiation burns.
ReplyDeleteWreak havoc on weather systems, cause/relieve drought, control animal migrations and moods, tides, fertility, and... oooo, this is getting nifty!
ReplyDeleteHmmm ... Coronal obviously means pertaining to Coroners. Therefore Coronal Mass Ejection must cause all Coroners to leave their offices and by extension it probably includes all US style elected officials.
ReplyDeleteCoronal Mass Ejection is credited with saving over 40% of Californian public servants when the big one hit by getting them instantly out of collapsing buildings.
Would be good for removing the nobility come the revolution?
ReplyDeleteOnly if the nobility were stupid enough to get themselves elected as public officials. Most will just buy their officials in bulk as required.
ReplyDeleteOr are you asserting that coronal pertains to coronets?
