Crushed insect at bottom of Kwak glass

    I had a tasty bottle of Kwak last night and was in no mood or state to wash it up. So this afternoon I pick it up to find a dead moth-thing stuck to the bottom of the glass. I don't know at what stage he got in there, and frankly don't want to think about it too much, but he's welded on wither by the sticky Belgian monk-juice (oo-er matron) or his own innards. I've tried hot water down the neck of the glass and any end of washing up liquid but he's not budging. I don't have one of those wire-stemmed bottle brushes or I'd try that. It's late now and tomorrow the shops are shut so I couldn't get one even if I really wanted to.

    How am I going to remove the bugger without smashing my glass?

    Turn the glass upside down, and wipe him off :p

    Leave in hot water to soak overnight.

    repeat your original attempt but let it soaked for a while. 30 minutes.

    Just refill the glass with the beverage of your choice and drink away. Old Mothy was probably there last night when you were drinking, and he added to the flavour.

    You should be more worried about how it will taste without Mothy adding to the flavour than you are about cleaning it.

    Put a spider in the glass to eat the moth. Then put a lizard in to eat the spider.

    Was going to, but I've filled it up with bubbly water now. I'm thinking maybe Mothra is just sleeping it off and will appreciate a drink when he comes to.

    I'd like to see you drink your kwak after that one :pac:

    No coat. Edit it to say this
    In the ways of Johnathon Ross say the following

    I wouldn't do that, you might crack it.

    Whats the point of that glass?

    As you tip them back the beer runs out of the bulb at the bottom. Kinda like the competition of drinking the yard/boot of ale. As you near the bottom you get a flood of beer and if you're not careful it goes all over you :D

    Hmmm a most important dilemma. Surely you must have something long and sharp/pointy that you can use to jimmy the ****er out, a kebab skewer or screwdriver perhaps?

    In other news I'm about to open a bottle of Spitfire ale. I love ale it's so nice.

    Don't forget to duck on your way out.

    Fill the glass with petrol, set it alight and burn the fcuker out of it. I had the same problem with a cat that wouldn't get out of my garden shed, and that method worked a treat. Worked a treat as in the cat, lawnmower, mountain bike, barbecue and girlfriends treadmill are now fused together into one useless massive pile of sh*te.

    Just get a boiling kettle of water, pour into the glass, leave for 10 or so minutes(until it cools down just enough) and then repeat your procedure.

    On a lighter note, this reminds me of the famous Paddy Englishman, Irismman and Scotsman joke.

    Paddy Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman are sitting in a bar. Suddenly, a fly dives into their beers. The Englishman says, "Barman, a fly just dived into my beer. Bring me another one." The Englishman got another beer. The Irishman says, "Ah, to hell with it," and empties his pint, fly and all. The Scotsman pulls the fly out of his beer, shakes it up and down, and screams, "Spit it oot, damn you! Spit it oot!"

    i think that was the joke.
