Ah, yes! Vinnie was one crazy Fvckr!
I love his self-portrait progression...you can see that vangoes closer and closer to the deep edge...

I believe it was the winter of 1886 that he slipped into insanity for the first time and by the next fall he grew steadily less stable...

Edited to add: While in Paris.

So was it before or after he slipped into insanity that he started brewing his own vodka? :wine:

most definitely after

 
Anyone know what's on the CD? Is it small enough to host somewhere? My CD came today but it's broken!! Arg!!
 
Mine arrived today. It's a mini-CD. Kind of lame. I'm sure there are tons of recipes, but the browsing system sucks.
 
Thanks OP,

I just received the mini-CD with the martini recipes on it. I have not tried it out yet. I'll wait till the weekend..... hic!
 
Got mine in the mail this week. (not sure which day since I only check for mail a couple days a week..)

I fired it up really quickly.. its better quality that I thought it might be.
 
Got my CD today. Pretty cool. Why complain about a mini CD? Just takes up less room. BTW, it's 127MB.

I plan to try some of their vodka in the next week or two, per beeny13's suggestion.
The CD shows their vanilla was rated #1 though. <shrug>
 
Here is almost the full cd online: (6k recipes, more than enough for a dead liver.)

Incidently, it is an 8 MEG .htm file, so be patient if you are on dialup. I am tapping my computer out trying to copy and paste it into word for future viewing....
