I've been known to go on an absinth bender from time to time, never tried a kit, sounds like it my not be the way to go. as buzzs (buzzis, buzes, buzzzess?) go its not a bad lot at all. kind of a very lucid drunk if ya ask me. I would suggest spliting a bottle wit a friend, and finish the damn thing too. what makes it fun for me is the ritual of the thing more than the buzz. it is a bit on the spendy side but a good buzz don't come cheap, and a cheap buzz has a mean sence of revenge. so drink up ya little green monsters, I think I'm gonna order up my own self seeing as how the topic came up. Personaly I don't use a special spoon just a teaspoon. I get a TSP of grainulated sugar and wick a bit of green into it and light the bad boy up. as it starts to carmelize I stir it onto the glass, (this flames the absinth)and qiuck like a bunny I dump a short water into it and it goes out. then I slam it and move on to the next fix. I use about 2 jiggers each time. this works out fine for me even if it is a bit off from tradition, but hey I'm from Cali and tradition is not my strong suite.

is this what they mean by the Green Party?
Wooooo Whooo, I'm joining!
