Isn't he the one that cut off his ear, or was that Pablo Picasso?

I guess van Gogh didn't need any drug, he had some screws loose up in his skull... in the and he was mad enough to do anything without any drug;-) Hence his brilliant off the scale paintings!

Apparently he went nuts, threatened Paul Gaugin with a razor blade, then ran to a brothel, cut off his ear, wrapped it in newspaper, and handed the package to a prostitute named Rachel saying to "keep this object carefully".
What a case.

I have tried absinthe from both the US and from Europe (friend brought some back from a trip), using the full water/sugar/spoon method... then eventually just taking shots. After diluting it so much, you have to drink quite a bit to even get intoxicated. I think the thujone "trip" is over hyped, but it is pretty fun to go through the whole ritual.

I got caught up in the Absinthe hype a few years ago and decided to try it and did a little research. Ended up buying a pair of crystal mixing glases and the spoon. Bought some Absinthe that had great reviews and was not cheap. The bottle reads EXTRAIT D'ABSINTHE, 68*,QUALITE' SUPERIEURE, NOUVELLE-ORLEANS, L'ESPRIT du VIEUX CARRE. The set was about 200 bucks. Ya know what, I can't stand the stuff <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> . Now it's a party favor that I try to pawn off on friends when they have allready had too much to know better <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />. I don't think it goes bad, sitting there, but then you couldn't tell anyway. ![[Linked Image from i947.photobucket.com]](http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad312/DHOOKER2/019-1.jpg)
