3. the green fairie drink - holy cow!!! cool, enjoy. I've heard of it but
never had the pleasure. Be sure to let me know how it goes. I have a friend who recently educated me about this drink and it's colorful history. He is actually considering importing some of the real good stuff from Switzerland. How do you come by yours?

4. Google Absynthe
Theres tons of info, a review site somewhere out there, as well as European distributors.

It's illegal to buy in the US, but you are legally allowed to buy from Europe, and posess - just can't sell it.

5. My brother had some in Hong Kong
when he was in the navy in the 1960s. He doesn't remember exactly what happened, but he ended up in the brig.

6. I could very well see that happening
After three shots I have to stop, or things get a little too "brightly lit"
