I was thinking crab puffs! Of course if it has the effect that "shrooms" have eating will not really matter. So I am told, .....so I have heard, ....so I have seen,.......I better stop right there.

Tell ya what, I'll just order a whole bunch of stuff, and we'll just eat whatever.

There are some bars in Lexington that sell it. I tried it and it tasted like ass. it was also like $9 a shot

I'm not going to ask how you know what that tastes like...

Some things I 'd rather not know......

shrooms? did..someone say...shrooms ? where's bnph4ever?

There's a bar in Toronto that makes an absinthe cocktail called "Van Gogh's Ear" - absinthe over a sugar cube and lime juice w/ice.

He is reputed to have been an absinthe-induced state of madness and melancholy when he cut his ear off and sent it to his concubine.

I can speak with a bit of experience on this one. I'm a very big fan of absinthe. I'd say the halucination thing is a bit exaggerated, but the buzz you get is definitely different (better, IMO) than any other form of alcohol I've ever tried. Best I can describe it is like a nitrous buzz that lasts alot longer. You can buy it online and have it shipped here, but be prepared to pay around $70 per bottle after shipping charges. I've tried several brands of the commercial stuff, and LaFee is by far my favorite.

That said, I have a very good friend that is now making his own, and he keeps me well supplied (don't ask). It's better tasting and gives a better buzz than any of the commercial ones I've had. He is making it using the old time recipe and procedures. There is a rather active underground of folks that do this, and they get together occasionally to sample each other's brews...his is consistantly among the best.

Finally...no, Rick - I haven't forgotten about you!

just because you remember doesn't make me feel better

I have a couple bottles of Absinth around that have 9mg per liter of Wormwood. They came from the Czech Republic.

For a small fee, you are more than welcome to have them. I just can't handle the taste. Its like Jaeger or licorice, but its green.

I will say that if you can handle the taste long enough to get drunk off of it, it is a different drunk. Reminds me a little of moonshine. Then again, some of that may be due to the fact that its 110 proof.

There's your problem, right there. Czech stuff is generally horrible. Thanks for the offer, though.

Saw lots of Absinthe when I was in Mexico. I love Jager but otherwise not a fan of anise-flavored stuff.

I love the website's warning:
Avoid serving neat as the drink is very strong and unpalatable until mixed.

For the past 2 years or so, all mine has come from the Tenessee hills.

OMG! I never saw that. I love it cold and neat. And in Surfers on Acid.
