Isn’t it supposed to make the heart grow fonder?

Turtles know how to party.

A green drink for a green critter…

Drink enough of it and anything can happen.

Or go to Las Vegas

Run for it, John, TERMITES!

John was always a barrel of laughs.

Abstinence and Absinthe are not the same thing.

it’s a strong spirit that is rumoured to give hallucinations, though the minute quantities of hallucigen found in one of it’s ingredients is less likely to be the cause, than the high alcohol content, between 90-148 proof (for those in the US.). in otherwords, john got plastered and found himself missing a shell, and had to use a replacement.

Nopes. What is that?

Drinking liquor can help some people to come out of their shells.

Drinking liquor can help some turtles to not only come out of their shells, but can cause them to lose their shells completely.

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.

Or something like that…

There’s something about green liquor……( I don’t drink beer in a green bottle either ! )

took an ambien and slept at a motel 6

I once new a pilot who tried Absinthe…..once.

One of Edgar Allan Poe’s favorite drinking buddies was a fellow poet (His epitaph reads “Here Sleeps a Poet”),named Henry Beck Hirst (1813-74). His favorite libation was absinthe.Apart from his association with Poe, Hirst is best known for his epic poem “The Coming of the Mammoth”. It’s about an ancient Native American tribe that hunts down a man eating (!) mammoth across the North American continent. Even Poe called it “preposterous”.Do you think that absinthe might have had something to do with it?

My first thought was John was making a reference to getting ‘pickled’, but I don’t think that’s quite right.

The actual answer to the question is that John doesn’t know what happened to his shell. The night is a mystery to him.

Absent has been absinthe . . . er . . . um . . . uh . . . forget it.

Yes, yes I have. The rocks in my inner ear took a month to recover and I had just half a thimble. Loved the taste, had to pause before moving my head so objects wouldn’t move for a month.

Couldn’t remember where he parked?

No, I never have, and I don’t intend to!

A potent green aniseed-flavored alcoholic spirit, made with the shrub wormwood……..must be some “strong stuff”!!!!!

Tried it in Czech. It tasted like green rubbing alcohol

I find it quite tasty, although I eschew the sugar cube ritual

Yes I have. Just half a shot and it was 1, 2, 3, floor.

It’s only good for gunshot wounds. Turtle is too literal about the Beer Barrel Polka, and Ski’s south side Milwaukee tavern down by Schuster’s, or Saz’s where the train turns the corner around.

Oh, dazamn, I want to hear John’s story now.

I want to try the Absinthe Drip Cocktail.

Try water, but be careful of source.

“Dancing with the Green Fairy.” The hallucinogenic properties of wormwood are vastly overrated.

Good heavens, did John drink an entire barrel of the stuff?

Now John is really a barrel of fun!

Is there absinthe in a “Strip and Go Naked?”

Tequila makes clothes come off so I guess Absinthe makes shells come off?

IRS got his shell..

I haven’t had absinthe in a while. I have a few different kinds.

Stuff’s expensive.
