The wormwood stuff is completely unlike alcohol IMO.

Plus the "normal" is pretty heavy duty.It can make baaaaaaaaaaddddddddddd shit happen.
I've known alcoholics in denial say it should be banned.

Fun tho...

ooo... does sound fun...

We get our Czech Absinthe from what I assume is organized crime.

It's the real deal, though, and a highly enjoyable experience. The last time we drank it we wound up taking out every glass in the house and filling them up with various amounts of water and put on a concert.

The first time, however, was during Halloween a few years ago, and ended up with my lead guitar player and I staging an actual swordfight in the front yard. 

Wormwood Absinthe = Evil ...
The Other = Lame

Both = don't care when it's easier to score other drugs if you really wanted to get high.

Honestly, drinking absinthe the correct way is used as either a pain in the ass or a way to look superior in front of your friends. Emp is right, just smoke up and go mushroom light. And for the price of a bottle of the good shit, you can get a bottle of Midleton's Very Rare, and three decent buds.

Agreed and agreed.

Emp is definitely right, but I still find the ritual aspects to be kind of fun. The drink is a toy more than a new ride, but toys can be fun as long as you don't have too great expectations.

i've had the rare opportunity to have real czech absinthe. otherwise i'd never drink the knock off shit. real absinthe tastes bad enough. it cost my uncle a few hundred dollars, and i knew it was legit before i tried it because he's that uncle that the rest of the family doesn't really mingle with. so anyway, i had absinthe and fillet mignon. amazing combination going down. i drank about 2 half plastic cups full, no mixing. a beer too. i knew i'd probably never have it again, so why not enjoy it in its purity.

well it tastes like shitty cunts.

but i had to go get firewood in the dark woods.
i followed a large glowing orb most of the time.
and when the night was about over, i filled a small plastic trash can with about half a gallon of puke.
and when i closed my eyes to sleep, i saw giant blades of grass trying to attack me.
i also remember calling people crying, begging them to save me from the grass...

kick ass new years.

but theres nothing really too fantastic about the shite.

It's just fuckin' booze FFS.

absinthe doesn't make you trip like that, asshat. You probably had turpentine.

It's just fuckin' booze FFS.

Right. That was my point.

Absinthe made me dopey. Kinda like eating two big-macs and then slugging some whisky

Thats called "The Danzig"

I drank cava & absinthe last night.  It actually tasted pretty good that way.

What kinda cava?

I really wouldn't be opposed to a dinner of big macs and whisky.

I don't eat at MacD's but I have enjoyed another burger place and whiskey

Supposedly they're opening a McDonalds here soon. I'm kinda psyched.

I'd lobby hard for a 5 Guys. Fuck Ray Kroc.

Well if I had my way we'd be getting an In N Out, but I'll settle for McD's.

On the burger front, there's a great local burger & beer joint near my new place. Fuck McD's

I will fucking freebase Chicken McNuggets, they are so fucking good.

From drugs to burgers ....

Yep, this thread is truly running its course on time ...

DID SOMEONE SAY DRUGS AND BURGERS??

Don't know what kind of cava it was.  Probably whatever the cheapest you can get is, since they didn't list any information on the menu.

Supposedly they're opening a McDonalds here soon. I'm kinda psyched.

Well their shit is cheap enough, but every time you pay them you think of the local businesses they destroyed.

He takes bets for a living.

What does that have to do with the price of fish?

Um, I'm kinda psyched for McDonalds cuz there's nowhere here to get a burger, other than expensive restaurants. Who make crap burgers and charge US$15 for 'em.
