So in theory is this a closed circuit and you never have to add more water

Well then. The mind boggles at the possibilities. The Smithsonian
exhibit alone is an opportunity for sniggering adolescent humor. But I
will restrain myself here, and instead toss out into the group the
following question: how would YOU put Icyballs in a Westy?

But wait for it: it's not Friday, so hold on to your answers until then.
Respondents will receive, as part of their reward package, a Hearty
Handclasp should we ever meet.
