I'm thinking of getting me some absinthe. Seemed like an appropriate place to say.

Interesting idea. Is it legal?

Huh. So it's illegal to sell it in the US and it's prohibited against being imported, but it's not illegal to own or consume it. Weird. Since it's such a rare & quaint drug, I assume that its street price would probably be pretty high, if you could even find anyone who had it. Oh well.

The real shit often goes for over 150 american dollars per bottle.

Johnnie Walker Black, neat. Just leave the bottle.

Nothin' I love more than annotated threads.

Not condemned, "rustic".

 

Green gunk and ice for Mr Mayer. Although Mountain Dew confuses me. It's a poor man's Sprite.

[The Czech Republic 0]

No it isn't. They taste completely different.

[rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0]

Yeah. Mountain Dew tastes worse.

 

Sprite is where the money's at.

 

Schmuck.

[Guest news_gimmick]

Mountain Dew, unlike Sprite, is packed with that wonderful stimulant known as CAFFEINE. They taste completely different.

I was terribly disappointed to find out that absinthe was basically just hard liquor with a few random herbs added in. I imagined it to be some bizarre hallucinogen along the lines of LSD, but no, it's apparently just plain ol' alcohol like every other drink in the world.

[Nighthawk 0]

Not really. Those herbs aren't random.

[Jingus 0]

Well, knowing you, I assume you're right. What makes absinthe different from other hard beverages, specifically? And where/how can you buy the shit?

[Nighthawk 0]

The main thing setting it apart is wormwood. The important chemical component in wormwood is thujone, which is supposed to have a similar affect to THC. The result is sometimes reported as somewhat psychedelic... I'd like to try it for the sake of novelty, but I don't expect it to be good enough to drink regularly at the prices it goes for. Some people get really into it for some reason though, I don't know. Marilyn Manson reportedly goes through the stuff by the case.

Where to get it, well if you know anybody who can do moonshine, they can make it for you. The laws are vague enough so plenty of places will let you order it from overseas, and hope it doesn't get seized in customs (which it probably won't, from what I hear). Goths love it, so if you know any, might see if they have any connections.

We should get PLAGIARISM! to mail us some absinthe.

But it's green.

Like Slim Citrus?

My friend had a bottle of absinthe before. Did the whole burning the sugar shit and everything.

 

 

 

I'll just have a long Island Ice-T on the rocks barkeep

[Guest news_gimmick]

I actually want some of this now.

[Sideburnious 0]

I know its legal in France, but I don't think it is much other places.

[TheFranchise 0]

PEPSI MAX ME!

::Beats the fool over the head with a shovel::

No.. No.

 

This is still The drink.

Actually. I don't think it is. I tried getting some, but they told me it was ilegal.

 

They sell it in Austria and Germany. They also do a pussy version in the UK.

 

It's good stuff. I'm pretty much straight edge, but it's good shit.

[Murmuring Beast 0]

You can get it in the UK. One of my mates had a couple of shots of the stuff and was really ill for the next few days.

 

Good for suicide probably.
