Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I remain sloth-like and dopey-brained. I mean, I feel pretty good, but if I don't dredge up some actual give-a-fuck in the next 12 hours, I might need to look into taking some sick time.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh, hey, I recommend the absinthe service at, um, I'd have to look up the restaurant but it was in Vegas.

Heh. That right there is a recommendation.

Good point!

Oh, hey, I recommend the absinthe service at, um, I'd have to look up the restaurant but it was in Vegas. Lee might remember. There were a lot of flaming vapors involved, pretty spectacular.

Ooooh.

But I have to be That Guy for a second: setting absinthe on fire isn't a traditional way of serving it AT ALL, and people who are Serious Absinthe Snobs get really cranky and elitist about it.

I am not a Serious Absinthe Snob. I have opinions about what I like, and approve of setting things on fire.

As I recall, the fire was an optional bit that I could have declined for Serious Snobby or general anti-fire reasons. But I did not, because I am all about setting things on fire (in a safe and controlled manner, of course).

Flaming absinthe always takes me back to the bar/club/restaurant/gallery Radost in Prague and a flaming bar when a drunken newbie expat would inevitably freak a bit and drop the spoon...man, 18 years ago.

My cats are curled up on the couch with me, actually touching, and one of them is farting. Jesus. I'm guessing Pumpkin because she nabbed some chicken empanada this morning. She loooves chicken empanadas, the pastry and the filling. She likes the pastry on the chorizo one, but isn't so interested in the chorizo. And it isn't the spice level as they're about the same.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I spilled flaming absinthe on my brother's dining room table. sloshed it a bit, you know, after having a drink or two myself.

Oh my god, I have beef jerky! How could I forget that? Grass-fed organic gluten-free beef jerky of the gods. Yum.
