For the first time since 1912, wormwood absinthe is available in the U.S., legally. This is the real deal – not the artificially-colored syrup/anise stuff one finds at frat parties. Still, don’t expect any hallucinogenic effects.

New York Anthony and I had absinthe at his neighbor's once. Not sure if it was the real deal or not. This was the same neighbor who once yelled at Mrs. Katarina Carbone for being too loud and accused me of vacuuming at 2:00 in the morning. She had an odd friend too. Anthony left her place to run upstairs. When he came back he knocked on the door to get back in. Her odd friend tracked down the neighbor and asked "Anthony is at the door, what should I do?" I guess you want to doublecheck before lettign him back into any party.

well i guess it'll be that much easier to take back from the czech republic now, huh?

Great! As soon as absinthe is widely available, it will lose the glamour and exoticness that keeps people from realizing that it tastes like ass.

The straight absinthe on absinthe: http://www.current.tv/pods/contraband/PD05343

"Here's the first sample of absinthe that I brought into the lab, and that's when my interest intensified and the rabbit hole deepened."

Absinthe is a myth and absinthe will fuck you up.

Rodenator, it was real absinthe in that it was from the czech republic. That girl was nuts, by the way. And I love black jelly beans.

I think we did it wrong. We set it on fire. Didn't that burn off the alcohol?
I don't like black jellybeans, but I enjoy eating ass.
