New site? Maybe some day.
|
you heard it here first!
let's party like 18th century painters! |
|
nice...had absinthe 2 weeks ago for the first time in awhile. |
|
old
2nd page of the Boston Herald on Monday!
A couple of bars in boston are already serving it. |
|
the only way I've had it was someone bringing it back from cz or england |
|
links or it didn't happen |
|
FINALLY!!!! I'm sure it'll be some dumbed-down blend though, as god-forbid the american government let you get fucked up on absynthe. I may see if they have it in the liquor stores nearby my house... |
|
I'm sure it'll be some time before it's at stores. And at first probably just in the bigger metropolitan areas. |
|
maybe I'll hit up boston then... |
|
i better get on this quick before it goes sour. |
|
Absinthe is nifty. I heart it; I heart it a lot. |
|
absinthe is a fag drink. if you're gonna drink booze, drink scotch...or at least some whiskey. |
|
absinthe a fag drink?
it's like 140 proof...what? |
|
and you light that shit on fire before you drink it...I guess you have a point there...it is flaming. |

We should talk about it in my loft apartment while listening to the Smiths and eating fondue.

|
HTB is so fucking wrong and has never done a shot of 180 proof absinthe. that stuff is the bees knees. it makes scotch and whiskey seem like crotch and kitten whiskers. |
|
seriously...whiskey face is no match for absinthe face |
|
I'm gonna open an opium den and serve absinthe. Should be fun. |

oh, this is shaping up splendidly |
|
i've never had Absinthe, but i'm very interested. |
|
yeah i heard this the other day. anyone ever drank it? i'm curious as to the effects. how much do you have to drink before it works? i mean is it like one shot and your done for the evening? |
|
I heard Manray is reopening with a budget based solely on its projected Absinthe sales. |
|
they going to open it up in the hole in the ground? |
|

I downed a few shots and was pleasantly annihilated. Definitely not like a traditional drunk; it's hard to describe exactly how it's different, but it's a whole different ballgame. |
|
Absinthe ruins lives. For example, there's me. |
|
It is a less potent version but I tried it and got blasted... |
|
My friend brought me back some when he went to Europe. I use it as a date rape drink. |
|
is this real absinthe or that fake absinthe? |
|
It all depends. There's a whole industry dedicated to making psuedo-absinthe, so I'd definitely do some research on whatever brands they're selling before assuming you're getting anything other than 120-proof gin mixed with mouthwash. |

Fake |
|
not surprised...if i wanted absinthe i'd take the trip to prague |
|

hahahahaha, my point exactly. Absinthe is almost as gay as the band...the shit is gayer than two boys fucking. |
|
just cause you posted that on the internet doesn't make it true. plus, if it taks me getting called gayer than two boys fucking so that I can get absinthe in the US fucking A, then bring it.
paul, this is about REAL absinthe made from wormwood. if you wanted the filtered crap, they ell that in the US already and it tastes like balls. |
|
I'm obviously being a dissenting asshole. I don't know shit about it and if it really produced a psychedelic experience and is legal, i will likely try it. |

research?
LET'S GET TO THE LIBRARY, I'M RIGHT BEHIND YA |
|
absinthe is so potent, i held a double-shot in my mouth for a few seconds too long and could taste none of my beers for the next hour or so.
hence, what I look for in my hard liqour. shit is def the BEE's KNEEs |
|
Had the real deal in Sweden I believe it was a obtained on a trip to Prague...Down for the count.
Although, a weaker version in US markets....This is good news! A step in the right direction for American alcoholism! Yargh! |
|
im pretty sure you dont light it on fire before you drink it... your pour it over a sugar cube thats in a perforated spoon because absinthe is incredibly bitter. |
|

Way we did it, is you take a spoonful of sugar, dip the spoon (with sugar) into the absinthe so it coats the sugar, light the sugar on fire (to emulsify it and allow it to mix) and then quickly stir it in with the absinthe shot and take. |
|
Absinthe sucks.....hands down.
After travelling all over Europe as a US Marine and puking wayyyyy too much because of Absinthe...I hereby declare it...BUNK!!!! |
|
i know this kid who brewed absinthe in his bathtub back in high school. |
|
Should be legal anyway.
My personal experience with absinthe:
Ordered a bottle (anise-free) that supposedly has the highest legal thujone level in Europe, downed 3 shots, felt slightly stoned, slightly drunk, 3 hours later completely hung-over feeling and mounds of vomit. Wasn't worth the 100 bucks, that's for sure. |

I am the Green Fairy
My robe is the colour of despair
I have nothing in common with the fairies of the past
What I need is blood, red and hot, the palpitating flesh of my victims
Alone, I will kill France, the Present is dead, Vive the future.
But me, I kill the future and in the family I destroy the love of country, courage, honor,
I am the purveyor of hell, penitentiaries, hospitals.
Who am I finally? I am the instigator of crime
I am ruin and sorrow
I am shame
I am dishonour
I am death
I am absinthe.
|
|
I drank about 8 or 9 shots of the real deal stuff at the 007 club in Prague
one time on tour with Dropdead...somewhere during our set I apparently
pulled my pants down and hung upside down by my feet on a pipe.
For some reason too, I kept cracking hardcore Abraham Lincoln jokes on
the promoter who had a beard...he stopped thinking it was funny after the
30th time. It could have been partly that I was smoking alot of hash too...or I'm just a douche. probably all of the above. |

Dropdead= wormwood hXc |

Funny; sitting here listening to Arcturus' "La Masquerade Infernale," and that fit perfectly. Definitely absinthe music; I think it'll be the soundtrack to my next green fairy experience.

Where'd you get it? |
|
A Russian friend of mine was making regular visits to Prague for a while. (She's since moved there, so no more hookup. Boo hoo.) |
|
aww that sux, i figure it'll be a while before it's readily available, if anyone is successful in search please share |
|
I haven't looked yet, but just heard on the news. 4 brands and they basically have none of that wormwood nuro-chemical in them. |
|
how can that be, that's what makes it what it is. GAY |
|
well if by that you mean the real original absinthe recipes that have been made in the same location for over 200 years, then yes, gay. The people there are saying that the reason absinthe was banned in the first place was low quality absinthe that had too much of the wormwood stuff. |
