She just feared the cordful phone.

it hould've empowered her. like a teenage girl sitting on the kitchen floor talkin to "boys" after mom and dad went to bed. trying to keep quiet and giggling like a little girl at the same time. i offered an opportunity. i was refused. it hurts. what was i talking about?

Wikipedia now has an excellent feature article about absinthe. It is available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absinthe

Can you buy absinthe in liquor stores in London?

La Fee, yes.

Other brands, i am unsure. But possibly - though nothing outstanding i would expect.

I've had Sebor (but was purchased via internet mail-order - came to ~£30/bottle, fortunately it was a present!)

If it's okay to sell absinthe over there it must be possible to purchuse yourself some good absinthe, too. In a small town in the Netherlands I'm able to get five or six different brands, so you should do a lot better than that in London.

Anarchy + UK > Absinthe + UK

Anarchy and absinthe are pretty good together. They bring out eachothers full potential.

Absinthe fueled riots. I just don't see it. Maybe Absinthe fueled animated discussions of the planning of riots.

I have a bottle of absinth in my liquor cabinet. Now, for some reason my redhead says I cannot, under any circumstance, open that bottle and have a sip. Maybe she thinks I'll turn into a werewolf, I don't know. But she's persisting and her threats involve refusing sexual favours, so what can you do? Anyways, any of you there sampled absinth? What's it taste like? Has it earned its bad reputation? Also, please diverse on the differences between contemporary absinth and the 19th century absinth which reportedly turned some fellow drunkards into complete nutheads.

When I was in Southern California over the holidays, a buddy of mine had a fancy-looking bottle of absinthe that he wanted to crack open. I've had absinthe a few times before, but have never learned the whole melting-the-sugar (or whatever it is) ritual. My friend Jose, who I was staying with in Hollywood for a few days, had never drank absinthe and his roommate, the dude whose bottle it was, is like @25yo, don't know shit about liquor and got the bottle as a present. So we just started out drinking shots of the stuff and chasing it with High Life tall-boys (we also had some reefer) and pretty soon we were pouring the absinthe in whisky glasses and guzzling it down. I can't really describe the taste but I didn't find it to be particularly good or bad -- at least as I can recall. Maybe a cross between a strong jenever, grappa and maybe one of those mysterious Eastern European liquors? I'd like to try absinthe again under a bit saner circumstances and with someone who knows how to properly serve it up.

I believe the amount of wormwood that is present in a particular absinthe accounts for it's potency and any debilitating side-effects.

***I have a photo but Photo Bucket is apparently down for maintenance at the moment, so I'll have to post it later.***

I do notice in the photo that what we were drinking was green but I don't remember that (ha-ha). Anyway, it was in a fancy-ass looking bottle (it had the spoon-with-a-hole-in-it attached to the bottle), came from the Czech Republic and the three of us killed it that night and nobody got sick or went loco.

Had it, have done the whole ritual with La Luche, prefer to shoot it straight from the bottle.
