OT - Mindless Rant

[capnq]

The "soda water" Puke describes sounds like "seltzer" to me, used in mixed drinks and by Vaudeville comedians. There's also the extremely nasty "tonic water", with quinine as the main flavoring, IIRC, but I don't remember that being carbonated.

Celine Dion is a French-Canadian singer who has been a huge success in the US recording industry. BTW, her musical genre is "pop".

My favorite carbonated beverage is birch beer, which is similar to root beer, but nearly impossible to find around here. (Despite the names, neither of these contain alcohol.)

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
