Went to Mahon yesterday, the weather was crap and as a result the weekly market they had was closed, but still had fun visiting all the normal shops there. Went into a place that specialises in the purchasing of alcoholic products and promptly had a heart attack. On a shelf was a bottle of green absinthe (70%), which wasn't anything new since I had seen it in other shops. Next to it, however, was a bottle of RED absinthe (75%), imaginatively called Absinthe Red! But wait, it was not this that gave me the heart attack. Next to the red one was a bottle of Absinthe Blue (80% alc. content), which, once I saw, I heard church choirs sing hallelujahs as I gazed upon its bounty. But neither was it this that gave me the heart attack, though close that it did. Next to sat an ebony goddess, a drink that was pure black and went by the name Absinthe Black (85% alcohol) that, as I stared upon her was instantly bathed in heavenly light and as I held her aloft I could hear the heavenly choir of angels sing hallelujah, and God himself looked down with glee, and he did winketh at me, and grin, and I knew it was good, and he did speaketh "Take ye idol and bring it to the people and dispense her pleasure amongst them all!" And again he grinned, and gaveth me the holy hand grenade of Antioch (Monty Python rip off there).
To cut a long story short, I bought some really alcoholic drink and plan on killing myself with it by drinking it. I just thought I'd write this bizarre crap while the weather wasn't too good outside, but its gone sunny again so I think I will go and sunbathe outside for a bit. Coming home tomorrow, so I may torture some of you when I get back, we'll see. Toodles!
