I couldn't even take half a shot of it
I puked it back up and was fucken hammered

take an evening class in art,
start pointing your glasses at paintings, make some of your own clothes, especially from recycled materials and declare everything WONDERFUL and INSPIRING!

You will never have a problem drinking absynthe again

it deadens the pain
but agreed, nothing wrong with absinthe

Except for the price...

a bottle of the decent stuff
is worth it. Not buying it singularly though

Bar near me sells 72% shots for £3.50 each
Worth it in winter.

It's weaker than Wray & Nephew rum.
If it still had wormwood in it I'd be interested, as it is, what's sold as absinthe nowadays isn't really at all.

and it tastes fairly minging
if it's merely booze, with no extra poisonous qualities I'd rather drink something I like the taste of.

Quite so.
Triumph of marketing over good sense, that stuff...

has it right. Arty types like it

The reference to pretension is the key, here, I suspect.

but I'd be condemning myself
out of my own mouth, since I quite like it
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 18:00, Reply)

there is nothing
wrong with being a pretentious artist.

I think I give off that vibe, anyway
The woman in the laundrette on various occasions has said that I am the type that would go to either Glastonbury, Amsterdam or something similar. That or she thinks I'm into massive drugs.

Not sure how she got to that conclusion from washing my pants
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 18:04, Reply)

people jump to conclusions
often wrong ones. I'm not really anything like I look. And I was once told I looked like a Britney Spears fan by my history teacher, when he discovered I liked rock/metal

Edit: perhaps she thinks she can smell drugs from your clothes. Or it could be the fact you've sleepwalked there before and asked for drugs. Like that man on House

was he
washing your pants?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 18:06, Reply)

Thank God no
He didn't like me, and I was very blond at that point

guilty

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 18:01, Reply)

I think every bar should stock it.

That way us folks with unpickled brains get a few guilty laughs watching those who really shouldn't be drinking anything else alcoholic for several hours, drink more very alcoholic stuff. Usually, in a random, pretentious manner.

Great spectator sport, as long as you're quick enough to spot the 'oh-no' expression that usually precedes the cheeks puffing out, demonstrating that a bounce is about to occur.

One can then ensure a safe distance between oneself and the unfortunate, such that one's footwear remains suitably unsullied.
