Perry Davis' Vegetable Painkiller; antique bottle

[LA6NPA]

I have a suspicion there is a raven's nest nearby. Ravens like shiny things and might have picked it up to trick out the nest. It might have dropped it while trying to get it there, though, hence, on top of the snow, no tracks.

[hindsight1820]

You are funny. So is your hair. At least you have some. Too bad you didn't miraculously find a bottle of Grecian Formula. You would appear 20 years younger. Now, I shouldn't talk....as I said....at least you have hair. Take it as a suppository? Wouldn't that defeat the pupose of a pain killer? Why doesn't YouTube have spell check? Why, Why, WHYIEEEEEEEEE!

[redshiftexperiment]

I was reading somewhere that this Davis fellow was experimenting with time travel and free masonry right before he died. hmmm ... i think what you have on your hands is a masonic time traveling junky who has obviously morphed into a lizard, making himself mostly undetectable. that is if it weren't for this small bottle of opium. hmmm. just as i thought ... yes ...

[yourfullofsheite]

I was no aware that vegetables felt pain.

[tyrodogg]

Bigfoot left it. He uses it for feet cramps.

[trailkeeper]

We can joke now about it, but still it works, and back then they didnt have much painkillers or cheap ones. It was probably mostly alcohol for that back then, they didn't even have aspirn yet till it was artificially make in the 1900's or something by Bayer.

[DonQuixotedeKaw]

Laudanum.

[TheHateuguys]

it was god

[JTlovesDexter]

Reverse GRAVITY!!! LOL ; )

[GetMeThere1]

Just wondering: could it have fallen from a tree? It's not impossible that it was thrown and became lodged in the crook of a (small) tree branch fifty years ago, and the growth of the tree (and just the right wind) finally served to dislodge it.

[wwickeddogg]

I saw a Romanoff bottle sitting on top of a snow bank and thought of this video. It was next to a phone, there was a large yellow stain under it, thousands of footprints in the snow all around, and directly outside of a liquor store in the middle of Manhattan.

[verdemanthe1]

it was john keeley who left the bottle, the time traveling opium user

[NotSoOldHippy]

@ToldCurkey Mom always told us to eat our vegetables. No wonder she was always stoned.



[NotSoOldHippy]

That is a great find!!!11



[anmoose]

Your finale sounds too much like a Firesign Theater skit. And that's not such a bad thing...

If only we could return to those days when drugs were so simple.

[NotSoOldHippy]

@anmoose Now we have drugs that specifically interact with specific areas of the brain to cause specific effects. }:-}

[verdemanthe1]

id make it into a bong"thats your answer to everything"

[NotSoOldHippy]

@verdemanthe1 LOL! Hippies!

[verdemanthe1]

4 pinches please

[ravenslaves]

Well the only reasonable answer is...GOD (tm).

Yes it's GOD(tm) telling you to repent your sinful ways...uh..through the use of opiates...I guess...

Don't question the ways of GOD(tm)!!!

Maybe it's God's(tm) way of telling you to have a drink...a small drink...it is empty afterall...

[NotSoOldHippy]

@ravenslaves Jesus was a mushroom!



[ravenslaves]

@NotSoOldHippy That would explain alot of things.

[wwickeddogg]

My prediction is that the bottle fell from somewhere else: a plane, a tree, a bird's mouth, a hill.

[NotSoOldHippy]

@wwickeddogg Probably rolled down from the hillside since the freeze and thaw will do that, unearth things after decades or a century. What fun! What a great find!

[seapilot4972]

Some miracle, the bottle was empty.

[kelliko70]

Fantastic find even if it was a miracle! :)

[NoFaithNoPain]

So whats the difference between opium and diamorphone?

[starfedrogue]

Temporal displacement?

[RyuDarragh]

The opium poppy seedcase was considered a vegetable in the 1800's.

[falchion49]

How do vegetables tell you if they're in pain?

[NotSoOldHippy]

@falchion49 Their spins snap when you bite them!

[lamnaa]

My best guess is, someone dropped it in the snow, it snowed again and covered their tracks, then the snow melted enough that the bottle was exposed.

It's a clear bottle in snow, it would be easy for you to miss for a few days.

[Rettequetette]

Whoo hoo! A Miracle!

...maybe a crow found it first, flew around with it a bit and then dropped it?

I find things in my back yard all the time, because the neighbours are too lazy to cut food (apples, bread) in little pieces. Crows fly away with it, then realize it's too heavy and drop it. They also like shiny things, so that's the first thing that came to my mind.

[hgryphon]

See, now all the creationists are going to show this video as "proof" that carbon dating doesn't work. Because you just found it yesterday, but you said it was over 100 years old... ;)

[NotSoOldHippy]

@hgryphon LOL! At least that would be something new from a Creationist moron. }:-}

[TheSpankymonkey]

I want some vegetable pain killer.

[NotSoOldHippy]

@TheSpankymonkey Stand on the street corner and wait. Someone will be along to sell you some. }:-}

[latuman]

As a human I'm forced to guess. It surfaced on its own, but an animal might have sensed the opium and dug the bottle up and didnt bother since it was empty.

Weird shit. I found an old medicinal bottle in our back yard once. Probably 50+ years old judging by the shape.

[iconoclastic23]

Jesus is the only possible explanation

[NotSoOldHippy]

@iconoclastic23 Jesus is *always* the answer. LOL.

[penvsword]

the gods must be crazy

[ProjectPaladin]

Needo little find...

[Stromatolite577]

Holmes! It means you are not in fact alone!

[Gripen1974]

I thought USA was having their little opium war today.

[NotSoOldHippy]

@Gripen1974 Ha! Amusingly if you look at the statistics, we're in a war not only against Mexico but also against the CIA. The CIA is the United States' largest customer of cocaine and pot, used to purchase firearms to support despots and terrorists around the world.

[frosty956]

cool. I wish I would find cool stuff like that just laying around on the ground...

[rediband]

Perhaps a cow ate it, and shat it out on the road.

[fatefinger]

Rain might of exposed it or moved it.

[nishbrown]

I'll leave you the cap, in the same spot, next Monday.

[deriamis]

You likely do own the bottle simply because you found it. Land claims generally only cover mineral rights. But IANAL, so take that with a very large grain of salt - possibly an entire salt lick. (You have those, I am sure.)

[johntheother]

I had no idea vegetables could feel any pain at all.

[mobiltec]

Great find. I would keep it. I have a friend who collects bottles. He would be doing summer salts over a find like this. I'll show this video to him to see what he thinks. Laudanum is more likely what was in there. And I think you were talking about "a tincture" of opium. That basically means a smattering of opium. It also means an alcoholic mixture with opium. Again a fantastic find.

[NotSoOldHippy]

@mobiltec Rilly, that bottle is an excellent find, the envraving stamped in to the glass while hot is *awesome*. People go through miden heaps looking for such this kind of find and they spend hours, weeks, and months of their time looking for things like this when they have the time.

[mobiltec]

@NotSoOldHippy My bottle expert told me that David's bottle is most likely around 121 years old. Not 107 as David described it. But he would have to see a mark on the bottom of the bottle and also another shot of the neck and rim of the bottle to know for sure. I'm going to ask David to show both in more photographs so my friend can look into it more. My friend is a bottle freak LOL.

[RadarKat73080]

Did vegetables feel pain back then?

[NotSoOldHippy]

@RadarKat73080 Sure they did! How would *you* feel sliced up, sauted in extra virgin olive oil and then shoved in to a burrito?

[RadarKat73080]

@NotSoOldHippy I already gave up eating animals!

[ThorDog81]

My random guess as to how it got there is the bottle fell from a passing plane and landed on the snow.

[smashbeans]

opium makes me happy :D

[barleyLEGALdotCA]

Could frost spikes have pushed the bottle up out of a mud puddle, and then a little more snow could have obscured that? Was that spot down hill of a stream?

[FlightIsLife]

Thats genuinely cool and bizarre. Can anyone provide a possible natural explanation?

[stonedcommander]

Are there living quarters for the owner of the ranch? Perhaps someone did manage to slip in, robbed your boss and dropped that bottle while making his getaway...check your bosses living quarters...maybe a busted window of forced open door.

[TheFounderUtopia]

Suuuuure, you "found" a bottle of opium that happened to "already" be empty. We believe you.

[Pineconevolved]

wow, great find! Now we can finally talk to Jesus.

[AnonaThetan]

the ground contracted from being frozen and popped the bottle out

[jipersson]

Was it a Superman was it a plane ?

No it was A Bird !

[cmxcmx]

Hurrah for opium vegetables!

[bndctus]

You are the only human on the ranch that you KNOW of :suspense music: O-O

[marsCubed]

It's obvious DP, Like the South Pole, only place rocks on snow could have come from is space.

Junkie space aliens. they travel at close to light velocity, maybe only bought it a few days ago in their time frame, then dropped it while abducting cows..

Try hypnotic regression to see if any of your cows remember being examined and dissected recently, and check for implants.

when you have eliminated the possible, whatever remains, however true, must be improbable.. (or something like that).

[NotSoOldHippy]

@marsCubed LOL! Doped-up space aliens. That's the best explanation so far.

[slmdj]

Maybe it came in with the meteor that hit the doctors office.

Probably not though or else the note would of read "can I get my opium refilled PLEASE!"

[AmsterdamHeavy]

opium addicted aliens came back lookin for their source but they didnt realize that 107 years had gone by...

[ReddmanDGZ]

Some of those bottles are worth quite a bit of money. Especially old patent medicine bottles. They are highly collectible as well.

[morto360]

Maybe somebody did blowup anything and the bottle took a flight to you... tho in this case you probably would have hear the explosion.

On the other hand.. miracle sounds much better.

[FroggyTGremlin]

The bottle was probably deposited by water under the influence of, wait for it, gravity.

[NotSoOldHippy]

@FroggyTGremlin Graaaavity! GRAAAAVITY! and water.

[MobileThinker]

that is awesome...i would really like to get a hold of that bottle, i love antiques.

[FroggyTGremlin]

Aaaaaaaah opium! And it's warm and loving, derivative sibling morphine!! Good shit.

[bla34112]

i say animals did it

[steffenml]

Ghosts. Definately ghosts.

[FroggyTGremlin]

Do a couple of pinches count as a serving of vegetables!

[Desertphile]

@FroggyTGremlin ; "Do a couple of pinches count as a serving of vegetables!"

ROTFL! Fuck that's funny. School lunch programs should look in to this.

[InStunnedDisbelief]

Gnomes. Those gnomes are quite the pranksters!

[gaglamesh731]

They got opium and we don't get weed , WTF ?? Life is unfair :(

[ViralMessiah]

I think the important question here is,are your vegetables feeling better now?

[citizenkong]

Vegetables in pain is one of life's many silent tragedies.

[SiriusMined]

A friend of mine collects and sells antique bottles.

The process that brought that to the surface is the same one that brings rocks to the surface. I forget what it's called.

[Sadochrist]

Vegetables feel pain?

[Dasmaster1]

Fucking miracle.. Get glasses maybe? ;)

[undercutagain]

dont make 'em like that anymore 

[Hereticbooks]

When opium became not legal in the U.S., I wonder if an unusual number of people caught the worst case of the flu they've ever had for a few days. LOL

[Hereticbooks]

Pretty fucking cool. But I really like old Americana. My british partner is even MORE interested. I'm going to pass this video on to my partner.

[achtungcircus]

How did it get there?

*GRAVITY*

Seriously, check for a dump/garbage site uphill/upstream. I would find bottles (and other stuff) at my place dating back to the 1880's. Recycling meant something different, then.

[oOoxelAoOo]

A wandering collector of antique bottles dropped it? This person is also invisible and hovers.

[DeathofSpeech]

What a great find.

A hundred years ago, some drover had a nagging backache from long hours in the saddle, or maybe he was just bored out of his mind from months of mind numbing routine... He finished his bottle of laudanum and pitched the bottle into dirt... countless hooves and cart wheels passed over it, and a century later you find it a little weathered, but otherwise undamaged.

A little history to hold in your hand. How very cool.

[adolthitler]

Faster than I can type it you said it..... Its a miracle. LOL

You sure you didn't drop the bottle yourself in a purple haze?

[BTheHeretic]

a swallow could have carried it

[JamesThWilliams]

@BTheHeretic

Is that an African swallow or a European swallow?

[ofpfury]

The bottle will bring you nothing but problems. Throw it off the edge of the earth at once!

[bdf2718]

It doesn't cure constipation, it causes it.



[DerSchnurrbart]

God is trying to send you a message and that message is "get high as a kite!"

[tattooskin72]

It was aliens. totally!!

[abbynormal0ne]

That is so cool! Did an animal dig it up or something? O_o

[Desertphile]

@abbynormal0ne ; " Did an animal dig it up or something? O_o"

Otch, I wish I knew. I do know that the spot I found the bottle is down-hill from where a very old sheep camp used to be. If the bottle had been stuck in the mud I would think "upthrusting" (alternating freezing and thawing) would explain how it worked its way to the surface. But the bottle was on top of the snow. I'm at a loss to explain how. Ghosts? Demons? Space aliens?

[christo930]

@Desertphile Could it have upthrusted in another spot and then be blown onto the snow by the wind? Is there a label on the bottle that is intact or is the glass embossed with the "label"? If it's a paper label, that is pretty amazing!

[falchion49]

@Desertphile Have you had a partial thaw recently?

[TheCurmudgen]

Fascinating. I have several antique bottles that were hand me downs but unfortunately my great, great grandparents didn't get into opium. At least I don't think they did.

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

You can legally buy the dried pods for floral decorations (by the kilo) and with healthy seeds. The seeds make good food too. As long as you are not concentrating the sap, you're not breaking the law. It can even grace your garden, among other flowers. By law you can still buy opium in any pharmacy without a prescription, but most modern ones will not sell it anymore- because this P.O.S. country is the most narcophobic on earth.

[dprjones]

It's a sign from the good lord!

(he does work in mysterious ways)

Repent, and let the him into your life - or burn in hell

[billygutter01]

@dprjones Don't do it, dpr! "It's a trap!"
