waiting for the night,
with absinthe eye
cocked on the lone, late,
passer-by.
from "Prospect," Sylvia Plath

If you can have a meatloaf sundae, why not a casu marzu sundae? With a little absinthe, now legally available in the U.S. (in California, anyway).

If the first two courses didn't induce suicidal tendencies, perhaps the absinthe would. It would be a mercy killing.

I think I'm feeling a Wordie dinner here. Start it off with stinkheads on cocktail crackers, move along with a bit of casu marzu on toast points, and wash it all down with some absinthe.

Mmmm...

A while back there was a story about a deer who was so completely plastered on absinthe that he strode out into the middle of a busy highway, lay down, and flailed his legs in the air for several hours. That's right...absinthe makes the hart go flounder.

absinthe-it's the drink that makes you want to kill yourself instantly. (Bernard, Black Books Season 1)
