No relation, but Harris is right. If you had one, you'd change your mind.

9-10-29 is Arnold Palmer's birthday. How do I know it? Because I happen to watch MacGyver right now. MacGyver is trying to bypass the security systems by placing a number code which he don't know. Pete who had placed the code originally loves golf so MacGyver tries Palmer's birthdate. Voi´la!

 

[SilentRealm]

Most of you have probably never heard of this electronic band. Their "albums" are live recorded performances, often improvised. This image is their disc artwork. I find it awesome cause that's not from a box set. Those are each disc from 1996 to 2008, planned from the beginning to cleverly spell out the band name. The letter on each disc is also the first letter of the name of each album. Pretty damn sweet.

That is pretty cool, What is the name of the album with the dot over the i?

 

[Kenneth R.]

the "O" is for Oblivion. The "I" is actually a lowercase "L" for Last. Clever, them.

R=Redshift
E=Ether
D=Down Time
S=Siren
H=Halo
I=Oblivion/Last
F=Faultline
T=Toll

It's made with real lemonade. And it's kind of like lemon iced tea, but still different... i dunno how to explain it. No carbonation though traditionally.

However, you can experiment and try it however you want.

Wouldn't an arnold palmer generally have quite a bit more lemonade to it than Lemon Iced Tea? I know some iced teas use a lot of it, but I generally just put in a little bit for a slight flavor spruce.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

That's true. It's half and half, so there is more of a lemonade taste than just your lemon iced tea. Which fucking owns. Of course, you also have to take into account that the quality of the ingrediants that you put in directly effects the quality of the Palmer.

 

[Kenneth R.]

I forgot that "lemonade" in the UK and Oz = Sprite in America.

 

[SilentRealm]

no lemonade is sprite here too.. i was taking into consideration the u.s original version of lemonade (lemons, water, sugar).. lemon flavoured soft drink/soda here is 7up or solo.. and i think i prefer the iced tea taste WAY better than the lemonade taste.. so i would still probably pick an iced tea over arnold palmer..

 

[Phanto]

Speaking of Ice Tea; I bought Snapple lemon from the U.S.-shelf at the supermarket.

It tasted like ass.

... Uh, the end.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

Why would you do that to yourself?

 

[Phanto]

I was suicidal.

 

[rockyracoon]

I think the best way to do an Arnold Palmer is by brewing your own iced tea and combining it yourself with a really good lemonade. Though I do also enjoy the canned version.


There's also a bunch of variations based on different flavored teas and lemonades. I had one with raspberry iced tea and lemonade that was good.

 

[Kenneth R.]

I pretty much hate all Iced Tea. Tea itself is pretty blah too. Only exceptions are those awesome asian Teahouses with the crazy ones.

 

[noble savage]

Hell yes!! In just about 8 weeks from today we may know: if there are extra dimensions around us, what dark matter is etc etc! This is so fucking awesome! I generally try to keep my nerdy interests to myself, but I think in this case it will be interesting to everyone.
