The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

How on earth . . . ???
How does he get this right (apart from lots of practice)?
A tip o' the hat to reader J. R. for sending me the link to the video.
1) The rather-poor-focus and the angle of the view conceals the facts that he's actually wasting a lot of the Jaegermeister, both in overpouring (both into the stacked-up small steins, AND into the lined-up double-shot glasses on the bar-top),
2) The stacking/nesting of those small steins produces a visual clue for him for when to move up the stack to produce nearly-equal filling of the successive bottom-spaces of the steins as he tracks up along the stack,
3) And, finally, tripping the "domino-effect" spillage of the filled double-shots produces sufficient splashing and temporary-foaming to partly-conceal the signal fact that the amount that ends up in each of the last row of glasses is less than you might think - and is in no way an equal amount in each glass, only an approximation...
Still - a flashy-looking stunt...lots of practice - and lots and LOTS of spillage...You notice that the video terminates BEFORE all of the splashing and foaming totally subsides?...

Kinda snazzy-looking, but...
