The FDA continues to ban thujone, the chemical from wormwood that gave tipplers such a great buzz. In the U.S. that's filtered out, leaving a 130 proof alcohol. That said, it was still good stuff... as far as I remember. Doubt I touch it again, though. 130 proof is WAY too strong for me. The absinthe sold in the U.S. isn’t the traditional stuff.

It's banned in most of the free world (and the less-free parts, too). I've heard it's a hell of a buzz. Too bad you can't really remember. <abbr><em>lattégirls last blog post..<a href="http://neveroutloud2.blogspot.com/2008/11/so-many-thoughts-so-little-time.html" rel="nofollow">So many thoughts, so little time</a></abbr></em> Damn, you got to try absinthe?!

It's the grumpy disheveled look. Bed head, black, 433D AMXD shirt (a Texas Guard airlift wing) that has seen a few too many trips through the washer, a festive madras print in orange, green and yellow on my Fruit of the Loom boxers, the dregs of a cup of strong Cafe' Americana is washing down a half of a Vicodin ES (damn weather changes), and I am brushing the boulders out of the corners of my eyes. I'm saving the real drinking for the little trick or treaters tonight. Wifey will not let me set up a lawn chair on the roof and blast candy at the kids with the PVC burp gun I made a few years ago. Something about me having no balance. So I'll continuously fog the yard with the mosquito repellant (they're big enough to carry off the little costumed buggers), consume generous quantities of Scotland's finest, and lament the political landscape. <abbr><em>Jeffs last blog post..<a href="http://folloder.wordpress.com/2008/10/30/i-makes-lol/" rel="nofollow">I Makes LOL</a></abbr></em> Right now?

That lovely piece of laundered artistry is paired with a most comfy and flattering pair of navy blue cotton knit pants. It was my good fortune that washing them in cold water and hanging them to dry rendered them too short for capris and too long for pedal-pushers. This new length will next year's runway runaway. The ensemble is completed with footwear of the most elegant style -- black, size 9 extra wide Crocs. These allow plenty of room for thick fuzzy green and pink striped socks to pamper my delicate feet. Try not to faint with jealousy.
