    @grahamoflauge how will they sort the bottles by colour if they’re all smashed up

    Another way is to swing the bottle outside like you would a near empty bottle of ketchup. Gravity will force it out onto hopefully your neighbors lawn =)

    dont take such a sour attitude with me buddy, i assumed you use twitter because you put @username like you do on twitter when you want to reply to someone, plus your response wasnt under the other persons name, which isnt your fault, because sometimes this happens to me too. but chill out man. jeez.

  19. Longquark on September 1st, 2010 11:27 pm

    I’m sorry, but why the fuck do you automatically assume I use twitter? Also, I DID reply. Hit the View All Comments before you make yourself look stupid.

  20. zaprutertape on September 1st, 2010 11:54 pm

    yeah i heard that too…something about the alcohol in the beer breaking down the fruit so the juice gets in…i dno.. the alcohol does the job.

    if its a titanium fork or a steel for or a diamond fork it will.

  22. zaprutertape on September 2nd, 2010 1:27 am

    this isint twitter you cant @ someone and they know it….you gotta push reply.

  23. Longquark on September 2nd, 2010 2:24 am

    @skaternick: Yes it will; Most forks are made of stainless steel, of which Iron is a chief constituent. You know what Iron’s melting point is? It’s 2800F, not 1400F.
