absinthe

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).

Absinthe makes the tart grow fonder.

"Absinthe, the greeneyed monster." Joyce, Ulysses, 15

I'll always remember your hart going flounder, skipvia. Splendid!

I think these puns are going to kill me first!

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

Skipvia!! Blahahahahaha!!! I just saw your comment!!! I am ROLLING!!!

Makes the hart go flounder!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaha hahaha!!!

*retching*

Maybe a little creme de menthe?

And then drown your eater's remorse with a healthy dose of nepenthe!

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...

*grrrooooooaaaaannn*

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 makes the heart grow fonder?

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