Apparently I lack most people's aversion to anise-flavored foodstuffs. I love licorice, and even absinthe doesn't give me a shudder reaction unless it's undiluted by water or sugar.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.

I've got an urge to go buy gumdrops from a convenience store right now.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Please allow me to state that at no time did I wish to do bodily harm to either Raq or Matt, no matter what this picture might suggest to the contrary. Man, the flattering pics are few and far between. (Not fishing, just coming to a place of...acceptance).

It's not just Pernod in Italian clothes, but if you can't stand anise, don't go near the Frenet.
I kinda liked the Fernet, and I hate ouzo or anise in general. A little dab'll do ya, however.
I'm all confused now. I despise anything licoricey, but the rest of the descriptions sound, well, if not good then at least interesting. Perhaps I shall give up on it here, since there doesn't seem to be much point looking here anyway, and count on trying it at the next F2F.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I remember somebody trying to persuade me that Shrift's real name is not Shrift. This is clearly crazytalk. She is the very incarnation of Shriftishness, and could not possibly wear any cheerful wee festive-sounding diminutive of a name. She is SHRIFT.

the licoreness of Fernet is way exaggerated her - there are like 30 herbs inthis drink. It is a cacophany of flavors. the end note for me is a little mint. bitter pepper ( harsh green ) is the front end.
If I could actually taste more I would go get a shot and break it down more.
stoooopid ick.
