Shake a whole lot more till yer arm is sore. That 140 some year old dried contents and assorted crud really gives you a run for some shaking.

Am I the only person that does this? I'm beginning to question this method, but my biceps are diggin it.

Quite right, Jim,

And, convivial as all get out...

I musta read that post too. It took me nearly 2 years to adapt Charlie's method. It certainly does work well, though sometimes really slowly, but Shirley.

Why do you think blobbottlebob never finished that story? George just plunged into the drink, and then...
