Ooh, best news ever--thought I heard 'no mane' in there!

Thanks for the laugh, Wilhelm! Stealing your beer:

Who here thought he said 'no MANE'? Beer tent version?

Laughs all round, here!

There are not any pictures of the Big Bang or Evolution~
so, unraveling, they can't be true either. Go obtain 'proof'.

In case no one noticed, the first and third sentences in my message are
anagrams of Wilhelm's topic.

Thanks. I had to juggle and discard a few until I found the right mix.

Wilhelm (wondering if that is actually your upcoming schedule, or if it
is just your way to express enthusiasm)

First of all, thanks, and yes, I did. And I like the second one. I bet
that's how they sing that line in beer tents.

Thanks Wilhelm, but I couldn't have done it without your beer.

That was the schedule. Alas one or two each day either weren't open or
were open but not brewing. However, we still visited plenty of lithuanian
breweries, and took home with us plenty of freshly made live beer.

Lithuanian farmhouse beer = hurrah - some fine ale in a tub!

But what kind of tub?

Lithuania's farmhouse beer = Our aim: Bathe us in fresh ale.

That's so... wrong. But a great anagram.

It also reminded me of a story that I once heard about Louis XVI (?)
having installed three taps over his bathtub, for cold and hot water,
and for champagne. Unfortunately I don't remember any details, and I
don't seem to have the right keywords for Google to help me out here.

What I did find was a vacation ad for a luxury cottage in Kendenup,
Western Australia, where it says: "The bathroom features a sunken spa
with champagne on tap, literally champagne on tap! (This must be
preordered)." Preordered, so they can connect a fresh keg before you
check in, I guess.

Bathing yourself in champagne? Just think where the bubbles would go... ;-)
