Absinthe Snob?

[jimzuma]

If there was a piece of cork floating in your Jade would you:

A. pick it out with an absinthe spoon

B. leave it in

C. fish it out with your finger

[DesertWolf]

A or C depending on how close a spoon was. :P

[hectma]

I'd leave it in and drink it. It's kind of like the worm at a bottom of a bottle of Mezcal.

[jimzuma]

Gooood stuff-

[Grim]

Uh... 1) I'd decant it into a large measuring cup. 2) Use a small corner of a coffee filter to fish the floating cork out and decant it back into the bottle.

 

If I had some sedimentation (not to be confused with the so-called sea-monkeys): after settling, 1) I'd pour the clarified portion of the absinthe into a clean glass container, 2) then pour the portion of the spirit that contained disturbed sedimentation into a funnel-shaped glass of some sort. 3) Let it stand for a day in a dark cabinet, then draw off or gently decant the portion above the settled debris.

[TheGreenOne]

D. Sink it.

[Derrick]

I'd put it between my cheek and gum...kinda like chewn' tobaki!

[Nepenthes]

E. With a fine mesh strainer over the sink, gently pour contents down the drain, collect cork fragments and deposit in garbage.

[Joe Legate]

Easy!

[Jaded Prole]

"Sink it" gets my vote.

Always a pleasure to hear from someone who remembers music before that bastardization, digitization.

Hissy and scratchy with a poor dynamic range and flat response, featuring inconsistent reproduction with infrasonic interference and destructive harmonics, and gradually getting muddier as the vinyl wears out.

 

Oh yeah, I definitely miss that.

Well done!

[Jaded Prole]

I like analog.

You're just might feel some kitty wrath for that one.

[jimzuma]

My vote is C. Of course I lick em' afterwards. :P

I'll never understand how you guys can sink absinthe. Absinthe is like sex: even when it's bad, it's still pretty good. It's also expensive. Like sex.

[TheGreenOne]

I pity your sex life even more than I do your taste in absinthe.

My responses have been very flat as of late, but my range is quite dynamic.

Oh, but 8-tracks were so cool!

Having sliced, diced and spliced my way through miles of analog tape and tried to get one more play from worn out grooves, I'll happily take anyone's CDs you'd like to donate to a very friendly theatre program. After 25+ years as a sound designer, patch me in digital.

 

Not only is absinthe and sex a good analogy, it's also a great combination. I'm not sinking either one, Martin.

[Daemon]

Even my worst absinthe being Emile Coulin... I couldn't sink it. Perhaps its because the bottle is nice to look at. And I still am entertaining plans for using it, making "absinthe shisha".

 

And yes.... how did cassettes become the new thing after 8 tracks? You mean, I have to rewind???

[tristan]

Easy!

Telekenesis? And just how much absinthe must one imbibe in order to attain these powers?

 

Conicidentally, in Roald Dahl's Matilda, a book about a young girl with telekenetic powers, the protagonist's surname is 'Wormwood'.

Ever had Sebor, Hills, or other Czechy garbage?

You haven't tried REAL GOOD absinthe yet.

Once you have, average absinthe is like screwing a blowup doll.

[Ari (Eric Litton)]

But since a lot of other liquor is like screwing a bear trap... I'd take the doll before the trap.

[Grey Boy]

If it (any liquor) tastes like crap I'll sink it.

I've sinked: beer, wine, gin, absinthe, scotch, whiskey, whisky, bourbon, rum,

I haven't sinked a vodka yet, but since it's not supposed to have any taste why would I try it.

Just 'cuz a booze is of a type I like doesn't mean I have to choke it down. In fact I feel there is more reason for such crap to be sunk and called out so that the makers make better. I hold my beverages to a higher standard.

[Grey Boy]

The Hills are alive with the sound of sinking.

[TrainerAZ]

I guess you saw that "10.5: Apocalypse" too.
