I know, I know.
Kallisti and the King of Bad Shirts both
gave addresses for them.
Actually only 10 blocks from the Mini Mansion.
If I would have thought of it, I would have
sent Lambo over all full of Turkey squeezin's.

Let the stupid fucks who don't do their homework or PayTFA.jpg buy that shit. That way there will be more good absinthe for us. yes1.gif

"That way there will be more good absinthe for us."

OK, maybe you were joking. But I'm not.

This is horribly flawed thinking. We WANT MORE PEOPLE to learn what
good absinthe is. We WANT them to BUY it. We WANT premium absinthe
to be a profitable (albeit niche) industry that will attract more skilled
producers and let them keep their costs low by buying quality ingredients in bulk.
We want them to be able to make a living doing this, so their products will be
available regularly and at a reasonable price.

If we don't want this, then we really are just a bunch of elitist bastards. Thank god I've never tried adding up the money I've spent on decent absinthe -- I'd probably just conclude I was a fool for not getting into cocaine, which at least deserves its wicked reputation.

I think the majority of us don't like to think about it.

I hadn't thought of that 'till now.
But as for your main point I agree, just look at the beer industry in the US. When the demand for better, artisnal products increased so did the availability and quality of commercial products, even the major breweries tried to produce or buy mirco beers. This all happened due to drinkers demanding better product and the homebrew community DG.gif showing everyone what the real styles/flavors were.

If the absinthe community grows and keeps the pressure on producers to make better product and some home-brewers become pros (like in the US micro-beer industry) then we'll all be better for it.

Anyone can make beer, cooking is a federal offence. Reality sucks.

Yes, I know, and I know it won't be changing. I just used that as an analogy, and to prod our EuroFuckyLand friends on to better things.

No, I wasn't joking. I want more good absinthe for us, the elitist bastard (you know, if you make 500 posts on LFV you become an elitist bastard) absinthe drinkers biggrin.gif . I hadn't thought about your perspective though; valid point. I was simply thinking about having more "good" absinthe. yes1.gif

Want some?
Then buy it.

I'm not that crazy yet. No, that was just my feeble attempt at humor...........




Damn. I wanted to add another funny witicism but I thought it might be taken the wrong way. I actually wrote it, then talked myself out of writing it. Damn all those P.C. training classes I've had throughout the years. Damn them all. I can't even try to be funny anymore 'cause I don't want to offend anyone. WTF is this world coming to?

'add 2 and a half ounces of sugar. . .'

Although, I guess it WOULD take that much sugar to even BEGIN to mask that inherent god-awful taste.

Yes -- I can't help but notice you were wearing your camouflage-coloured yet still easily recognisable "Kill Bill" custome.
