New Year's was fun. I took my fiddle down to the subway and played until I couldn't move my fingers anymore. It was really kind of cool, watching how these modern be-suited people responded to 17th century gypsy music. There are few things more fun than turning people's expectations on their heads. Plus, the juxposition juxtasition combination ( Read more... )

They're addictive. You'd best save yourself the torment and just give them to me. I'll take that bullet for ya, buddy.

You can't tell me who I can give tarts to and who I can't. Just because you have forever forfeited your rights to my tarts doesn't mean you can keep others from them.

Can I have a tart? I've been living in a car for a long time and I'm really emaciated and malnourished, right?

A fellow individual living in an automobile. Yes, you can have a tart.

Makes sense. I don't eat bugs.

Cool, cool. Where do you want to meet?

Dude, you make absinthe?

Very, very rarely. It's tricky. Not to mention incredibly illegal.

That's awesome. Does it really make you hallucinate? This freaky sitarist where I used to live made Czech absinthe sometimes, but I don't think he knew what he was doing because it was seriously like the color of Swamp Thing and it smelled like burned hair. I mean, he called it Czech absinthe, but I'm pretty sure it was boiled Ovaltine or something.

REAL absinthe doesn't make you hallucinate. Some home brews will contain other stuff that IS hallucinogenic, but that's not the absinthe. It actually produces a pretty lucid state of drunkenness.

It ought to be clear before the sugar and water are added, and should smell and taste like anise. Though I think Czech absinthe may be different ... Not sure on that count.

Wait, clear? Where's the green fairy, dude. That fails.

The most basic absinthe is clear. Other herbs have to be added to the distillery process to turn it green. It's the chlorophyll from the plants that makes it like that.

Oh, really, now?

What would I have to pay you for a bottle?
