You can see them but not get at them, a torture just like the in the Greek myth of Tantalus.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hungover:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But a lock on a decanter serves the same purpose, keeping the servants from drinking the precious liquor. Or moonshine, in this case.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>More on the original Tantalus:</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalus" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalus" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalus</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
