	I at last have had the opportunity to try the drug Absinthe, 
and thought of reporting my experience on the net.
	I was offered to try Absinthe when visiting a cousin last week-
end.  Interestingly, while Absinthe is illegal about everywhere in the
world, it is still legal in the small country of Andorra situated in
the mountains between France and Spain.  When bringing it back to
Canada my cousin got searched, but Absinthe is so little known in
Canada that the custom officers thought it was an ordinary bottle of
liquor, although it was clearly labelled Absinthe.  I am told that it
is another story if you get caught with it in Europe...
	For anyone familiar with late nineteenth century French
literature Absinthe possesses a very special mystique, since it looks
like just every French writer of the time was hooked on it.  I had
always been wondering if the effects of Absinthe were due mainly to
the high alcohol content, of if there was anything specific. The fact
that the main active ingredient, Thujone, is listed a toxic convulsant
made me somewhat apprehensive.
	I drank a total of 3 ounces of Absinthe that night.  The taste is
strongly aromatic and the mouth gets completely numb when drinking it.
The procedure for drinking is to mix the Absinthe with water.  It then
turns milky white.
	After a few minutes of the first glass I could feel a
distinct feeling of warmth and a rather pleasant buzz.  The two more
glasses that I drank afterwards completely convinced me that the
effect of Absinthe has little to do with alcohol.  After 3 ounces I was
experiencing a strong buzz, somewhat similar to a long lasting nitrous
oxide experience, minus the auditory disturbances.  Duration was about
an hour, with a 30 minutes peak.  The effect was extremely pleasant,
although I would not list Absinthe as a psychedelic.  It definitely
belongs in terms of subjective effects to the solvent/nitrous oxide
category, although pharmacologically very different.  The following day
I felt very lethargic, but it is hard to say if it was due to the
Absinthe since we stayed up pretty late that night.
	My conclusion: I give it two thumbs up, but would not drink it
more than occasionally since it is reported as neurotoxic.  Try it out
if ever you go to Andorra.

Orville Redenbacher is the incarnation of the Second Coming??

The Body of Christ is popped kernel.  The Blood of Christ is butter.
The Holy Spirit is the microwave radiation that changes the Body
of Christ from is its corporeal form to is holy form.

It is a SIGN!!!!   Repent now!!!!!   The END is NEAR!!!!!!!

Yeah, but I also miss the hydraulic press (the "pillar o' canned goods was
classic).  I think he ditched that when somebody suggesting doing a human
head.  I also miss Biff Henderson's "Golf Cart of Death".  And who could
ever forget the Alka-Seltzer suit or the velcro suit (which became a fairly
popular bar sport)?  Of course, he had some failures, like the Rice
Krispies suit in a bowl of milk.

Maybe with any luck, you will be involved in a fatal traffic accident while 
on your vacation.  I will be looking forward to your vacation as well.  
Enjoy yourself, because I know I will.  :-)

Steve Franklin, the brand NEW t.b mental disadvantaged poster child, muses:

> Am I the only one that...

> a) Doesn't think Dan Quayle is that bad?

     Probably the only one here who has to look up to him, yes.

> e) Wonders what the average I.Q. of the talk.bizarre crowd is?

     Can't speak for the "crowd", but the folks who attend BOBS
     are so bright the light of their conversation will put ypur
     eyes out.  I've fathered two measured genius offspring, and
     I drag down the average IQ at a BOB.

> f) Wonders who all these people are who post to talk.bizarre, ...
     when everyone knows they don't give USENET access to
     psychiatric patients?

     Ahem.  Speaking as a representative member of the psychiatric
     patients with USENet accounts for eight years now, "Hello,
     newbie!"

> q) Thinks Clinton is a money-grubbing baby-booming dweeb?

     Perhaps so, and sad that the two major political parties of
     the US can find no better to put forward than their current
     offerings [and the minor parties seem uniformly to present us
     nutcases of the "broad" category], but compared to the
     competition, Clinton has a record on which to stand and policies
     to offer that make sense and have worked once already.  That
     doesn't make him less the politician, but does at least make
     him a politician that might reverse the ruin of America at which
     the incumbants have been engaged for the last twelve years, rather
     than spending four more years completing the task.

> t) Thinks the new WKRP sucks rocks?

     Oh.  You sacrifice your day to the brain vacuum.  Explains a lot.
     Losers do.  Winners have lives too full for such nonsense.
