The reporter left out the fact that while we were hitting each other over the head with the wormwood casks, we were simultaneously discussing the relative subjectivity and objectivity of tasting reviews.

Marlow, damn, you're a sharpie...that completely relates to the symbolic reference I intended. Damn. Must be the "wormwood effect"!

I assumed the reporter was at the Ocean City tasting last September.

 Prone to accidents, bad dreams and ellipses… Group: Absintheur Posts: 1,710 Joined: 26-March 07 From: Three Mile Island, PA Member No.: 1,283 |
One Pennsylvania native, who preferred to remain anonymous, was interviewed from his hospital bed, weeping through his oxygen mask.
"I never thought it could happen to me. Curse this wretched creation! And curse that wretched man in the overalls who kept doling it out to us! What with his warm smile and candor. He knew what he was doing. It was all a sham!" Criminal investigations are still pending on the host and this unnamed bartender. Awesome job, Mac. -------------------- A glass of absinthe is similar to life. Slightly sweet, slightly bitter, difficult to see through, yet utterly intoxicating and entirely too short-lived. Life should be savored in such a way.
