It's sold in the states but the stuff that passes for real absinthe here is trash and even getting that is more of a hassle than is worthwhile.

That may or may not change soon though.

Drill King · « **Reply #1001 on:** 11 May 2009, 19:09 »

Real absinthe is not really anything to hoot about, most of the crazies were from improperly made absinthe or turpentine.

It just tastes like anise that's about it

Yeah, real absinthe tastes really awful. It's only good because you can get it at about 60-80% alc volume here (about double normal spirits) meaning you get trashed fairly effectively, especially if you use it as a mixer.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #1004 on:** 11 May 2009, 19:44 »

But at that point I would think that Clear Springs would be a better option. It's practically tasteless if you mix it and absolutely throat destroyingly horrible if you drink it straight.

My sisters still haven't sent me the high-res originals of the photos they took while I was in Boston, but I've seen how they came out.

Enter my lair.

This is Children of Arcadia showing on a 30' screen for Boston Cyberarts. I wish I could setup that screen at home.

Where do you live that you're surrounded by all those awesome trails and nature?

Central Maryland! I make a pretty significant effort in order to find awesome trails and nature, it's pretty far between for such a teeny state.

nobo · « **Reply #1010 on:** 12 May 2009, 14:54 »

i'm pretty jealous. the closest thing we have to trails is the university forest that borders our backyard. it has a few running trails but nothing scenic... we did however find the NROTC ropes course. most of it is locked away, but we have ladders and we can climb trees, so its an accident waiting to happen.

The best part is with that image quality it could almost be a picture form the nineties. You just need those annoying orange numbers in the bottom right corner and maybe change the sweater that girl is wearing and you're pretty OK.

Western Maryland is pretty good for that kind of stuff, and Northern Maryland (at least Baltimore and Harford County) have a lot of cool places to go, also. I will try to find some pictures over the summer.

Oh P.S; by the way I sincerely hope the wave of nostalgia somehow skips the 90s. Maybe instead we could go back to the 50s or the 1870s and then in a little while we could be nostalgic for the current decade. The 90s were dogshit guys. Look inside yourself, you know it to be true.

ViolentDove · « **Reply #1019 on:** 13 May 2009, 03:59 »

Too late, man. I went to a '90s nostalgia party weekend before last.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #1020 on:** 13 May 2009, 04:02 »

And I went to a 90's themed floor of a retro nightclub on my birthday.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #1021 on:** 13 May 2009, 04:55 »

The student union here does the "The Big Cheese" which is basically just 90s music.

It is the biggest night out in Edinburgh, and has a queue at least a 20 meters long every saturday night.

Compared to any other decade there was nothing wrong with the 90s.

The Fast Show is a fairly good documentary about 1990s England.

^ this guy's got it figured out.

in terms of music, pop-culture, etc. the 90s would be my favourite. and i didn't really get into music or become socially/culturally aware til the early 00s.

Will · « **Reply #1025 on:** 13 May 2009, 10:07 »

The 90's were pretty good. Some damn good music came from that decade, I know that much. Also, 90's fashion is not NEARLY as cringe-inducing as fashion from the 80's. If the 90's come back, I guess I'll be okay with that.

Also, JohnnyC, fuck what everyone else might tell you, the disheveled/drunk businessman look works for you!

De_El · « **Reply #1026 on:** 13 May 2009, 10:17 »

I feel like we've come to a point where no one gives enough shits for everyone to be nostalgic about the same decade. We're collectively nostalgic for any decade except the one we live in now.

I dunno, 9/11, the internet like never before (the fact that I'm responding to some guy in Norway who I've never met), the whole iraq/afghanistan thing, the european union, the whole economic down turn making life that little bit exciting, there's some great music still being made, robots, awesome movies/tv shows.

I have absolutely no problem with the 00s.

I am definitely fond of the 1990s in a big way.

However, we live in pretty exciting times now if you're paying attention. This of course, is coming from a guy that only remembers how to talk about Afghanistan and Pakistan at parties these days.

Competition picture! More of the standard from me.

He isn't just a valid contender, he completely destroyed you. Extra points for the unclipped finger nail.

Also, for the record, I liked the '80s and '90s a lot better than the '00s in terms of music, which is pretty sad, because a lot of '90s music was pretty dire. On a personal level, this decade has probably been the best of my life, but the soundtrack could have used some improvement.

I thought I remembered you as a Beard Brother and was curious whatever happened to your glorious facial hair. When it comes to reputation, I admit I do have to concede victory there...

Mnementh · « **Reply #1043 on:** 13 May 2009, 13:24 »

I shave every summer. I had something going for a while this winter, nothing notable though, nor consistant, and I had that a la Souvarov going until a few weeks ago when it got too hot for me to have any facial hair.

Keep fighting the good fight.

I'm in NYC when I'm not attending uni in Scotland or doing nothing in Belgium. So that's mainly the summer and sometimes new years.

We should hang out some time.
