[H.G.Crosby]

"red Bull"......like a red Heifer?...get it?



eh....



you philistines have no clue, do you....

[TT120]

BACK to cocaine??? When did we quit? I missed that memo.

[Aurelia]

they gave out "Monster" in big cans on earth day in the city and so I did drink them

and did not feel hungry or tired (I had been volunteering for some time)

is that evil?

[remi]

I'll just stick to beer, water and absinthe.

[theCryptofishist]

My favorite line: I'm blowing the chauffeur.

Wait, somebody sait Absinthe...

[FIGJAM]

The Green Fairy lives at BDV!!!

[Fidget]

Man, I'm of a mind that you don't drink that shit ever, let alone on the playa!

[Dr. Pyro]

The Green Fairy lives at BDV!!!

Ain't that the truth!

[*Kat*]

Well, actually I got to be honest. I *do* love absinthe but I don't drink any that contains thujone. I love the whole procedure of popping out an absinthe spoon and cubed sugar and having a miniature fire before I drink it.

I brought this to the playa last year, all the way from Germany. But nobody would have any with me. Couldn't find cubed sugar either - well, we did not go to the right supermarkets to get any.



It sort of reminds me of cough syrup. I blame my mother.

[Simon of the Playa]

there is a special place in hell for those who absinthe.

The party never stops?

there is a special place in hell for those who abstain.

Several years ago (Oh God it's been nearly a decade!) my college theatre group had forums eerily similar to these ones and we would often stay up late writing assignments and posting about our progress. One member regularly pulled epic all nighters with the help of energy drinks. Over the course of months he compiled notes on the various effects they had. From memory Red Bull was better for just getting shit done and for doing technical work whereas V and Mother were better for retaining knowledge or being creative.

It makes me all nostalgic to again be on a BBcode forum discussing energy drinks at 4am

The Bergius process was extensively used by Brabag, a cartel firm of Nazi Germany. Plants that used the process were targeted for bombing during the Oil Campaign of World War II. At present there are no plants operating the Bergius Process or its derivatives commercially. The largest demonstration plant was the 200 ton per day plant at Bottrop, Germany, operated by Ruhrkohle, which ceased operation in 1993. There are reports [5] of the Chinese company constructing a plant with a capacity of 4 000 ton per day. It was expected to become operational in 2007,[6] but there has been no confirmation that this was achieved.

During WWII the United States conducted secret research in converting coal to gasoline at a facility in Louisiana, Missouri. Located along the Mississippi river, this plant was producing gasoline in commercial quantities by 1948. The Louisiana process method produced automobile gasoline at a price slightly higher than, but comparable to, petroleum based gasoline[7] but of a higher quality.[citation needed] The facility was shut down in 1953 by the Eisenhower administration allegedly after intense lobbying by the oil industry.[7] The Louisiana MO operation began about 1946 using captured German technology. The alleged objection to it by "Big Oil" in Houston was that the cost estimates for commercial production were so low that the corporations' oilfield resources would be rendered worthless. Conspiracy theorists further alleged that the program, therefore, had to be terminated to protect the profits of "Big Oil."

Oh god, please tell me you aren't lighting it on fire and ruining good absinthe? I don't know where people got the idea that the cube is to be lit on fire buy it really does ruin it. traditionally you would place the spoon over the cup already filled with absinthe, then with the use of an absinthe fountain filled with ice water, slowly pour a stream of water over the sugar into the glass turning the liquor a milky green.

Of course you don't set the absinthe on fire! You just want the caramelized sugar...

[gaminwench]

followed by Misa's slivovizc;

makes for a great time.
