[quote="jescaflowne] LOL And no, there isn’t marijuana in it, I believe it gets it’s small hallucinogenic effects from something called Wormwood (but don’t quote me on it). The stuff is like 75% alcohol anyway, so even without the wormwood you’d be drunk. Maybe we can find a recipe for a magical absinthe punch concoction next year! ::puke::[/quote]
It does get it from wormwood, but the alcohol has a different purpose other than to just get you just plastered, it pulls the mind altering drug out of the wormwood, and concentrates it in the drink. Absinthe production (not consumption) is illegal in alot of states, but the south seems to hold on to the idea of allowing anyone to make it, thats why the hell you see it all the time in Loisiana, especially New Orleans.

I was sooo curious to try some of that, but my company has a strict drug-free policy, and I wasn't sure if it would show up on any drug tests. Ian, fucking awesome guy that he is, actually did some research for me to see if I could get away with it, but I was still wary. And hours before Joe tried it, he remembered that he was getting tested for drugs for his new jobMachine wrote: Since its him and Hsien for Iron Chef next year (UK vs US) that Absinthe would work wonders as a secert ingredient for both of them.
Nathan tried to goad me into having some during Iron Chef, and had I been as wasted as I had been last year, I probably would have downed the whole glass
I have no idea how to use this new forum.

Yes, thank you to whomever for telling me *AFTERWARDS* that it was an illegal(in the US) psychotropic drug in the same family as marijuana... It was pretty good though (*Despite my -like EK's- total and absolute dislike for anything licorice*).
I'd tell my Puke story, but first off, none of the females on the board would ever talk to me again, and secondly, I don't recall much about Thursday night after Hsien, Joe, Jason and Brad stopped drinking (other than the fact that Nate and I didn't.) Suffice to say I puked in some guy whom I had never met's room and went across the hall to my own, Leaving Nate and company to their own devices.

It was fun being the designated driver, everyone puking all around you. Doing random things that make absolutely no sense. And you(being me) the only one with all your faculties intact
Anyway it was a great con. I personally had alot of fun meeting people.
I'm sure I will post more once I can get all my thoughts organized

The fun part is when you spontaniously become a DD. I ended up getting asked by the VAT staff to drive a not so sober staffer to the store for more VAT booze during the Iron Chef contest. Luckily he wasn't plastered...I just got my car a week ago that dayAdiamante wrote:It was fun being the designated driver, everyone puking all around you.
