   Dude! What happened to you last night?

   Man! I don’t know, but I woke up on the hood of my neighbor’s pickup with my keys in my ass!

   … ain’t gonna end how you want it to.

   I suppose it’s always possible that flamming death followed by an episode of sock-sucking vomitus into the great hereafter could be an intended outcome for the evening’s entertainment. Presumably for someone else, you understand; my own limited experience with supposedly high quality absenthe leads me to believe that self-inflicted eviseration* is a much less painful suicide option.

   *This is the one that involves moving the insides of the abdominal tract to the outside via laceration, right?

   That’s right up there with “what’s the cheapest double CABG you’ll perform?” for bad places to save money. I can’t think of any situation where I’d rather have bad absinthe than good 151 and twenty bucks.

   There IS gonna be puking involved… Just sayin…

   Yep, that’s evisceration…

   Not only is there going to be puking, it’s going to make Jaegermeister puke look neutral in comparison.

   “And how much sugar should I set ablaze on top of it to hide the taste?”

   The cheapest stuff is that Czech stuff. It will screw you up faster than Night Train.

   ( BTW Jaegermeister is basically absinthe with the botanicals cut in half, and more alcohol added ).

   Will: There will be flaming death. You can bet a drunken czech Absinth aficionado will set his ass on fire playing with matches and sugar cubes.

   Those innocent kids never thought they would end up as tormented European painters…

   Absinthe? Lovely stuff! I made new friends (1) and found religion(2) because of it.

   1) Had extended conversations with ‘Huey’ and ‘Ralph’ anyway (imagine sound effects).

   2) Had extended conversations with God on the ‘big white telephone’ (Oh God please let it stop just let me just die quietly)

    “Not only is there going to be puking, it’s going to make Jaegermeister puke look neutral in comparison.”

    Neutral in what way? pH?

    I meant more in terms of flavor, stench, and cleanup factor if you don’t hit the toilet.

    Jaeger puke is the worst-case scenario of “my dumbass drunk friend started hurling”.

    (And no, I have no absolutely direct experiences. I did, however, spend some years in New Orleans. Hurricane puke is pretty bad too, but at least it’s not BLACK.)

    I guess if that is a person’s attitude, they might as well boil some wormwood in cheap vodka and make a go at it.

    I reckon it’s good that we can buy the real absinthe agin, but from what I’ve read, the Powers that Be have limited the amount of actual wormwood extract in the stuff, for fear that we might get too crazy.

    P.s I drank a whole metric pint of Jaegermeister one night, just to see what effect it would have on me. Yes, it made me think rowdy thoughts, but I did not act on them, being (as I think) a decent White guy. I’ll tell the world, though, I was _tempted_.
