How Do you Drink Absinthe?

The proper way to drink absinthe is to first place sugar in a special slotted spoon, then position the spoon over a glass using the special lip to rest. The absinthe is poured over the sugar and into the glass, and then the sugar is set on fire. Water is then poured over the sugar and into the absinthe. Once everything is mixed together, the beverage becomes milky in its appearance.

Right!

Ted might need some glasses

Never trust a dealer who can't spell "collectible".

Really... Looks like that spoon can hold a lot of sugar.

The fool! Doesn't he know that only pre-ban Pernod should be set on fire?

That’s never going to louche, not enough absinthe.

Holy Sheit!

ebay rules!

I'm glad its “BRAND NEW”.

you're no fun.

i mean, i love the smell of new leather, but...

it's much better seasoned.

Are you unit450?

no, close. i'm eunuch260.

So, what's your outside bid?

I bet Ted *likes* customers like that -- I mean: customers pouring an entire glass full of NO, instead of those pesky scrooges insisting on only pouring a little and diluting with water...

only pussies need to dillute drinks

yeah,sure.

FUGLYSPOON

Nice amalgam, not.

Fish anyone?

...

This seller consistently pisses me off.

Just flame and inhale for a balztripping experience that's five times faster than dialup.

Unbelievable

I guess I’ve sent a small fortune to recycling.

Ted could stop making absinthe, and just sell the bottles.

I think I've got a few empties gathering dust somewhere...

I think I'll track that auction to it's ugly conclusion.

Thanks, Cros.

I emailed that guy and asked why there was no Eddy bottles. Said he still had some left in it.

What it is with everybody today?

CG ate some bad nachos and is feeling a little poopy today.

Absinthism.

... I somehow got on the topic of Absinthe at work yesterday.
A girl mentioned how she drank absinthe the day before, and that it messed her up. A fellow bartender asked how she drank it, because in his opinion most people don't drink it properly (hoorah I thought).
She replied that she chugged it right from the bottle.
"right", he said,"that's why you didn't like it. You have to prepare it the right way".
"Do tell", I asked.
"Well usually you just pour water over sugar in to a glass of absinthe" (wow, he knows his shit... right?), "BUT, if you REALLY want to get trippy you have to add heat. Lighting absinthe on fire releases the chemicals that make you halucinate. That's why Van Gogh cut off his ear..."

GGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR! I give up!

You should have suggested the German inhale method.

my wife wants me to do home repair type of shit this weekend before our open house sunday, instead of sitting on my fat ass and getting drunk as usual.

so blame her if i'm more assholish than usual.

What, can't you do home repairs drunk? Seriously, ever met a contractor who wasn't both drunk and stoned while he was building a house?

problem is, if the house doesn't sell, i'll be stuck with all the drunken mistakes i make.

and i have made enough drunken mistakes.
