how about the recipe for smoke oil cocktail

[bdk]

That's easy! Everclear and Kool-Aid powder. Add a few orange slices for effect if you like. Oh, and it has to be made in a plastic ADI drum with the top cut off.

Is that what all those barrels in the hangers are for?

[bdk]

Yeah, don't mind the rust and TEL residue...
