Joe Legate Report post Posted December 21, 2011 Easy: It's what's inside the bottle that counts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Moss Report post Posted December 21, 2011 Correct. I do recall that a lot of people loved the LTV bottle too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baubel Report post Posted December 21, 2011 Anyone can come up with a fancy label on a bottle of cat piss. It's training the cat to pee in the bottle just until it's full, that's the real challenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron Report post Posted December 21, 2011 I used to have a cat that would stop mid-poo if I stared at him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Moss Report post Posted December 21, 2011 From "beautiful design" to "mid-poo" in just 29 posts. Is that a record? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SethP Report post Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) I used to have a cat that would stop mid-poo if I stared at him. God!! What an odd picture I got from that! A good smiley representing your (late?) cats face, as I see it, would be something like this. Or maybe like this. OnTopic: That label design is what I would call a really really nice one! Will work even in France nowadays I guess? Edited December 22, 2011 by SethP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wild Bill Turkey Report post Posted August 18, 2013 I could cite the work of one Wild Bill Turkey as a fine example (of the label creation part, anyway).What a nice surprise!Just signed on for the first time since the great flood to see what I could learn after seeing a photo of this package design, and found this generous reference to my labels from no less a personage than Artemis his own self! Makes me feel all homesick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Artemis Report post Posted August 18, 2013 Really. I'd have to put some on to take them off; I haven't worn shoes other than flip flops for years, exept to attend funerals. The Christmas theme attracted my attention; I had long forgotten having posted in it, but I didn't want to let a second opportunity to show Bill's brilliant work pass by. I don't remember anything about the absinthe; wouldn't talk about it anyway, so nobody ask, please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Bill Turkey Report post Posted August 18, 2013 I have to admit I've missed this place. Zuckerberg's monster has helped me stay in touch with a few people from here, and Gwydion accidentally stumbled in to my bar one night, which was fun, but I miss the focused absinthe discussions. And I even missed Absomphe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carefree T Report post Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) See, I collect alcohol containers and otherwise historical advertisement. Cans, bottles, all of it, all iterations over time. I will buy something I have little chance of liking much if it resides in a container I aesthetically must have, like that Chinese beer in Buddha-shaped bottles. Uniqueness and history are the factors; I care not for a pink lemonade flavored vodka bottle, but an Old Granddad bottle is essential. I bought a 15-pack of Stroh's because I needed one Stroh's can just for historicity. But beauty is not left out with me - that Stranger and Stranger Absinthe bottle I have no doubt I would absolutely need even if it was just full of Malört. I do not care, if I can afford it I want that G*ddamned bottle... Edited November 8, 2013 by Carefree T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
