A New Slipstream Absinthe Ritual

How Russians Drink Absinthe

hpqp says...

That looks like some cow-piss substitute for absinthe. I mean, mint syrup green, really? Real absinthe is usually either a clear light green or an opaque gray with only a hint of green (sometimes). Then again, it is Russia after all...

How Russians Drink Absinthe

That's what I was thinking, you know you've got a drinking problem when you start buying absinthe in the two liter bottles.

A more important question: why/how/huh to the absinth in the large plastic soda bottle... is that how they sell it? WTH?

OK sorry but am I the only sick person out there that wondered at the first of this video at about @1:00 in that somewhere there is some poor guy who's job it is to make blown glass dildo's all day for a living. grins

Absinthe glass crafting has both dong and bong stages.

Ron Paul & Barney Frank Introduce Law to Legalize Marijuana

I didn't make an opinion about his comment one way or the other. I'm always impressed to see someone who's not tried pot specifically because it would be breaking the law.


Oh, to be clear, I have tried it like 3 times. Every time because friends offered. The first two times I felt no effect at all, and the 3rd just barely something. I'd try it again if offered, and I'd try it again if it was as easy to get as alcohol or cigarettes. Again, it's not really that I care that it's illegal, but being illegal tends to make it inconvenient and costly. I've also tried absinthe since it was legalized, but would never have cared enough to hunt it down on the black market a few years ago when it was illicit.

Rocky on the PS2 is one big glitchfest

IT Crowd is Back! (British Talk Post)

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Actually, my favourite character was Richmond the Goth - I thought Noel Fielding played this well. "The Dinner Party" episode was hilarious. "I only drink Absinthe".

Roy and Moss are characters I care about- but I agree that they could invest more in the actual character development- and story some story arc please! If Roy broke up with his GF in the first episode- why is it never mentioned again? I also agree that Katherine's character is a real weak link.

Hey, let's not be like that - I don't mind anyone getting a kick out of a sitcom and I'm not going to rant on them if they don't like say, Seinfeld. But let me get a little more specific as to why I feel the I.T Crowd hasn't really worked.
I agree those eps had their moments but you're probably looking at the very, very best bits there. The Outing relied on broad, farcical humour which you can't use to sustain a series and had nothing to do with the situation of the show (which is supposed to be where the humour comes from).
But mostly I don't see where the gags are most of the time. Having a bloke pretend like he's from The Matrix and not giving him any jokes means you're putting A LOT on the actor. And most of the time this show does not get the balance of jokes and performances right.
In The Final Countdown Roy doesn't want to be mistaken for a window cleaner by an aquaintance. But because the antagonist is so sketchily drawn along there isn't anything at stake nor is there a payoff. And like most of the principals the guy playing Roy doesn't have the comedic acting chops to pull this off. A similar situation in Seinfeld would have worked because Jason Alexander (this would be a George situation) can turn average material into gold. And I'm beginning to wonder what Katherine Parkinson is supposed to be doing - her character doesn't develop and her storylines are as flimsy as can be.
It's interesting that Linehan co-wrote Father Ted which was much better than the I.T Crowd and is solely responsible for this.
I'll say this again - the best thing about the show is Matt Berry. He's clearly having fun and has a character that could go places. The show should be about him or some similar nutcase and the guys in the basement should be peripheral characters. I'm glad that Noel Fielding and Chris Morris appear to be gone as they were bloody awful.

>> ^kymbos:
Haven't seen the new series, but there are a few episodes of the earlier series' that are as close to perfect comedy as it gets. The one where they go to see Gay - the Gay Musical is brilliant, and the one where the boss starts going out with the woman who used to be a man. And the one where the old boss dies and they have his funeral.
If you don't find it funny (in general), I honestly pity you.


Absinthe - Dont worry, its just like any alchoholic drink!

Doc_M says...

"Absinthe was portrayed as a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug. The chemical thujone, present in small quantities, was singled out and blamed for its alleged harmful effects. By 1915, absinthe had been banned in the United States and in most European countries except the United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Denmark and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although absinthe was vilified, no evidence has shown it to be any more dangerous than ordinary spirits. Its psychoactive properties, apart from those of alcohol, have been much exaggerated.[7]"
