Simple mathematics
I made this discovery over Christmas:

Absinthe + pineapple juice = good.
Absinthe + pineapple juice + my mother = good grief.

Lesson over, class dismissed.

I'm kind of glad my mother doesn't drink.
The last time she got a bit squiffy, she got all soppy with my step-dad at a party. *shudders*

I shall try to imagine the rest of this story.
My word, your mother's antics are hilarious.

Whatever happened to the notoriously dry British sense of humor?
Enzyme posted a minimalist account, going for subtlety rather than trying to be all lolwakki. I thought it was pretty cleverly done. Was it too subtle for your tastes then?

I didn't read MM's reply in the same way you obviously did...

Perhaps not.
The place has been full of complainers lately, so that was how I interpreted that. I may well be mistaken, in which case my apologies.

You are correct. Its a long way from the friendly place it used to be.

I was complaining,
but was trying to do so in a dry, witty fashion.

Alanis levels of irony, here.

People who mix absinthe and pineapple juice should be peeled.
