There was a quiet line of dots on the screen.
"..." typed I.
"What?" asked Krissa.
"Absinthe is ILLEGAL in the States?" I said, disbelieving.
"Yes."
"We might have a problem here," I said.
It is true.
For the most part, my green lady is illegal in the United States of America.
Well.
Okay.
It seems that there might be some but it's not common. Which is all the excuse I need to arrange for a bottle of the half-decent Spanish, 70% A.B.V. stuff to be brought into the country over the weekend.
There may not be enough time for me to drink it all and remain alive before leaving the UK. I shall take it to my Stag Night preliminary drinks and have none myself, as pre-emptive strike against all those who will be trying to get me drunk and disorderly.
Whenever that may be.
Yes, but why would you want to drink the stuff.
If you want I can just club you over the head with a spade.
okay, now i'm worried about this stag night. i'm starting to think "stag night" actually means "someone will find stuart drunk in a canoe in the caspian sea sometime in september".
I've always wanted to go there.
Dearest Stuart...just get yourself here, become a full fledged citizen and help us VOTE OUT all these stupid drug laws that cost us a fortune and don't help anyone at all...not to mention they F-Up the partying.
I confess, Miss Bliss, that whilst a staunch believer in the Deomcratic process and ideal, that I have not yet given much thought to becoming a full American Citizen...in fact, I'm not sure it won't happen automatically...I'll check.
It is only just legal in the UK - thank the EU. It is the finest contribution that France has made to the wonderful world.
You do realise, of course, that's it's *woodworm* (treatment) not wormwood that's used in absinthe...
you do also realize, i hope, that it's not very hard to bring these sorts of things over with... just have krissa bring it in her luggage next tuesday. ce n'est pas tres difficile.
