Been awhile since I had some of the good stuff.

[Art-Florida]

Good choice. 'Turkey is nectar of the gods.

[Admin Steve]

Tell the UK gang that since Cristal is now out of vogue, everyone on 'Cribs' is drinking this vintage:

Thunderbird Lyrics
by ZZ Top

Get high, everybody, get high.
Get high, everybody, get high.
Get High, Everybody, Get High.
Get high, everybody, get high.
Have you heard? What's the word?
It's thunderbird.

All you kids from texas,
You grow so big and tall.
All of them kids from texas
They grow so big and tall.
All of them like to roam
In that t-bird hall.

Get hi-hi-high.
Really makes you feel so fine,
Really goes down so smooth,
Really puts you in the groove.
Have you heard? What's the word?
It's thunderbird.

Juice, juice, juice
Really makes you loose loose, loose,
Really goes down so smooth,
Really puts you in the groove.
Have you heard? What's the word?
It's thunderbird.

Get hi-hi-high,
Way up in the sky.
Gonna get, yes sirree,
If ya come and rock with me.
Have you heard? What's the word?
It's thunderbird.




Yeah, that Thunderbird goes down soo smmmooooth....but comes back up so very rough.:p

[Art-Florida]

Holy shit! I haven't tasted Pop wines since the 60s. My favorite was Ripple Pagan Pink. Mmmmmm. It was nuclear fruit punch.

Anyone remember "Twister" from the same era? Its main taste was... you ready? Menthol!

Worst idea for a beverage flavor since Giant elk piss in the Pleistocene.

[crowdog89]

Ripple and Boones Farm were family favorites back in the day....any wine that came in a box was the hippest.

[crowdog89]

Holy crap Fan!

That stuff is worse than battery acid...

# Absinthe may eat through some types of plastic. Store Absinthe in an air-tight glass container.
# Absinthe is usually over 150 proof. Always dilute it with a non-alcoholic mixer
# Absinthe is flammable. Use with care.
# Homemade Absinthe can be extremely nasty. Always dilute it with a non-alcoholic mixer
# Absinthe may be nasty, but you'll find that the more you drink the less you'll care!
# The effects of Absinthe's "other" ingredients do not last as long as the effects of alcohol. So if you drink your # absinthe too slowly, you're not going to feel anything but the Alcohol.
# Try to get through your first glass within 10 minutes. The longer you let it sit, the warmer (and nastier) it gets. Plus, as I stated above - You'll get a better buzz if you drink it quickly.
# Homemade Absinthe can be pretty bitter, so ignore your taste buds. They are your worst enemy.

[Denver John]

Night Train brings back some very bad memories from college. I feel like puking just looking at it!

[The Fanatic]

Holy crap Fan!

Hehehehehe

Here's some more info for you Crow

Dancing With The Green Fairy (http://www.absinthebuyersguide.com/)

Apparently this stuff is outlawed in the US.

It can be obtained overseas somewhere, but getting it to here is another story.

You can get it here, but it doesn't have the "good stuff" in it which is the part that is outlawed. Wormwood

My understanding is that there are bars in New Orleans that sell this stuff although I have no clarification how authentic the stuff is.

Fanatic is curious to see what this stuff is about!!:D

[Sephy]

Boone's Farm is something special alright, Crow.

[crowdog89]

Fanatic is curious to see what this stuff is about!!

Drink some Absorbine Jr. or Vicks vaporub......good God.....:crazy:


Real absinthe is made using wormwood, which contains thujone.
Q/A
What is thujone?

Thujone is a chemical compound. It is a colourless liquid with a distinctive menthol odour. It is a ketone and a monoterpene, and is found in two stereoisomeric forms. It is found in a number plants including sage, thyme, rosemary, caraway, sassafras, and yarrow. Thujone is used in several modern products including Absorbine Jr.®, Vicks Vaporub, Absinthe, Vermouth, Gammel Dansk, and many more. It can be extracted from wormwood, and it is an active component in absinthe.

[The Fanatic]

Yeah, I figured you'd get a kick out of that site.

Some serious stuff right there dude!!

[crowdog89]

Wow, ain't that the truth. At least you won't get any fungus infections in your digestive system....and you can pour it on your toes to prevent athletes feet...and get wasted at the same time...damn good stuff. Dr. Johns Magic Elixer.

[FellsPointRaven]

Absinthe rocks. It's legal in some areas of Europe. Gotta have the real stuff, with wormwood, otherwise it isn't absinthe. My cousin used to work at a bar that served it, but you were only allowed two per person, per night, as it has a propensity to cause hallucinations.

Van Gogh cut his ear off after tripping on that stuff, but he used to drink, like, a bottle a day, so a few shots at a tailgate, complete with melted sugar dropped in, might set up the game nicely.

UK crew - get on it!

[Drkraven]

I have some Boones Farm Strawberry Hill! Bought it foe 1.95 in a Fl Keys K-Mart!

[RAVENOUS52]

I remember when Cisco was the gut-rot of choice during the magical decade of the 80s...Now dudes like Crowdog drink Zima and mess it up for all of us...LOL :grbac:

[UKRavenStockers]

Absinthe = death, you can buy ridiculously big bottles of it Spain and believe me it ain't good, you won't find me ever touching that stuff.

[The Fanatic]

"as it has a propensity to cause hallucinations."
I can pretty much assure you that the wonderful taste of the stuff is not what peeked my curiosity.
:D :D :D :D

"UK crew - get on it!"

Ya Ya, you still have a couple days to make this happen prior to jumping on that plane to cross the pond.

[RopeRaven]

A deadly duo of cheap, popular wines from the late 60's: Pineapple Wine and Bali Hai

[UKRavenStockers]

I know you can get Absinthe somewhere in London, not sure where though and I'm pretty sure it's the weaker version not the carry you out on a stretcher vomiting fluourescent green bile version they sell on the continent.

[BaltimoreRon]

How about a 'Golden Arch'? This is a drink we renamed after a tailgate buddy who we lost this offseason. It's a mixture of Malibu, Pineapple and Tuaca. It hits the spot on a warm football Sunday.

[highwater]

I'm pretty sure it's the weaker version not the carry you out on a stretcher vomiting fluourescent green bile version they sell on the continent.

Hmmm. . . . . yes, that does sound appealing. :179421:

[Mobtown]

My wife and I brought a few bottles of Absinthe back from Switzerland a few years ago. We purchased it from what was supposedly the original maker.

Nasty, nasty, nasty stuff.

If I could only find a few extra tickets to the game I may be able to contribute ;)

[Rochardrik]

Booker's!

[Raven31]

You people going to the home opener on Sunday make me sick (yes I'm bitter). :(

[Greg]

Raven31, I am sorry you can't make it, but here is what makes me jealous.


I have some Boones Farm Strawberry Hill! Bought it foe 1.95 in a Fl Keys K-Mart!
The Keys! Damn, I could use a few days relaxing in Key West.

[BaltimoreRon]

R31 - why can't you go?

[Bez513]

Wild Turkey was my 1st taste of the hard stuff....I think I was 15. I think my car can run on that stuff.:eck15:

[WxKevin]

I have always wanted to try Absinthe ever since watching "Moulin Rouge" a couple of years ago. Don & Mike do an absinthe show at least once a year. You can get it into the U.S. but it is definitely illegale. Not that anybody on this thread would not takign "illegal substances".

I will be willing to drink whaever on Sunday. The wife will be attending the game for her only time this year. She is looking forward to the tailgate, primarily the food :)

[Drkraven]

Raven31, I am sorry you can't make it, but here is what makes me jealous.


The Keys! Damn, I could use a few days relaxing in Key West.I like this resort we found in Islamorada, I may just bring my Boones Farm:laugh:

[Admin Steve]

The Keys! Damn, I could use a few days relaxing in Key West.

Ditto. Spent my honeymoon there back in the dark ages.

[cajmax]

Try "Purple Jesus"

1pt. ginger ale
1pt. grape juice
1pt. vodka
1pt. grain alcohol 188 proof :thumbup:

Lots of sliced fresh fruit, to soak up the alcohol

[Ravens0587]

Is that green stuff the same stuff they had on Euro-trip?

And whats wrong with Jack Daniels

[RAVENOUS52]

Warm Saki on the outskirts of Yokohama was always a favorite back in 1998...

Ahh, the memories!

[crowdog89]

Ahh, the memories!

Yeah, I know what kind of Saki that was too Rav....Habu Saki!

Yum! If the saki don't get ya, the snake venom will!

Yes. Although at the tailgate I doubt you will see any guys making out with their sister.

[GreenWave52]

Come one now Kevin, we're not Steeler fans.

[GreenWave52]

As far as drinks go, the only special one I know how to make is Vat and I don't think anyone wants to be blacked out before kickoff. Our domination of the Raiders won't be any fun if you can't remember it. It's great at parties though.

[braven98]

Stop by poes lot to say hi, My little girl is going to the game with me

[CrowMST3k]

Or you could be special like me and crack a 12 pack of this:
