Anyone got a good source? Mine keeps getting snagged........................

If only there was someone in the US who had a good supply....

Ordering from EuroFuckyLand makes me paranoid. I hear customs is getting tougher these days.

How much are you ordering? I just ordered three bottles a month ago and the only holdup was LDF not being able to keep up with the amount of orders they were receiving. And it still came pretty quick. I'm just wondering if you order a big ol' box o' absinthe if that will make them look a little more thoroughly than ordering a little box o' absinthe. Just wondering.

My last order was inspected by homeland security and passed through unharmed. That green inspection tape is scary shit to come home too.

It’s the fucking unpatriotic Patriot Act. I can’t even buy two boxes of pseudophedrine without being treated like a felon.

I love absinthe soooo much but I'm not gonna get arrested for it

It's not illegal to possess absinthe and not illegal to drink it; it's not a controlled substance, but simply one not approved by the FDA - it's not even illegal to buy it.

It is illegal to import it and to sell it, though; so while do take the risk of seeing any imported absinthe seized (because whoever sent it to you broke US import rules), you won't get arrested.

But I think it would be wort paying a little more to buy absinthe that was already imported to the US...

Oh my Gawd! I was just watching Cash Cab on Discovery Channel and the host/cab driver asked the question.....

What green liqueur, illegal in the U.S., goes by the nickname, "the Green Fairy"? (or something to that effect)

And the contestants/riders knew it was absinthe!

What is this world coming to when a cab game show asks questions about absinthe and they know the answer?

I just thought it was interesting. And did we really type this thread in 2006? This thread sounds like a paranoid hen party back in 03 when the game was just starting and nobody knew the rules.

It was Smuttty’s attempt at getting Betty to rise to the bait.

Why?

Because we like to keep track
of just how stupid America is.

Look about you...

Thanks, but I've seen enough.

Not much else to see or do in Tallyhackee . . .

Better than B'etty's attempt to get Smuttty to rise to the bait.

She'd have to offer to pee on him for that to happen.

That's not something I want to dwell on.

Or under.

Unless you've just been stung by a jellyfish.

I'd rather suffer the sting.

On just a normal jellyfish sting, I might agree with you.... But there was this one time I was not only stung by a jellyfish - I got completely tangled up in one. Now I usually come prepared for a jellyfish sting - amonia in the dive bag and all - but nothing could soothe that. I would have let anyone pee on me at that time. Noone would help untangle it off of me in fear of being stung. I couldn't get out of it. I just cried.

Me too.

Where the hell were you diving?

I haven't been stung by a jellyfish, though I have dove around them plenty and the risk is real. The worst pain I ever had was from a long spined urchin, but he was in an aquarium. I also was stung by a Raccoon Faced Butterfly fish, also an aquarium inmate, and it damn near paralyzed my arm.

Neither of those was painful enough for me to seek out Betty’s warm bodily fluids though.

The Sea of Cortez. Puerto Penasco, baby. Lots of jelly fish in July and August. But great diving. Damn things didn't keep me out of the water. But then again, I am kind of insane.

I've been stung diving in the BVI but nothing serious.

I saw a guy picking up Cone Shells while diving in Maui & putting them in his pockets. I warned him about picking up live ones. Dumbass. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.

CRIKEY!

We saw some impressive mullets yesterday, down by the river.

Portuguese Man-of-War are common on the coast of SC in late summer. I was at Myrtle Beach after HS, and knew enough to stay away from them. Another kid wasn't so fortunate. He got stung in the crotch by one. From what I heard, he was in major pain.

I imagine he'll not make that mistake again.

Talk about a crotch punch.

Seemed like fun at the time..................
