No, but I'd like to sometime soon. They have it at BevMo! The rumors about it having hallucinogenic elements have pretty much been squashed. It's said to have a more "lucid drunkness" though.

Oh and I've heard from just about everyone that it tastes horrible.

It isn't the good ole stuff Oscar Wilde drowned himself with (illegal even in France now), possibly leading to one of the best death bed quotes of all time. "This wall paper is killing me, one of us has got to go."

There's a cool episode of "No Reservations" on the travel channel to France where Anthony Bourdain talks about the history of Absinthe.

I had a shot of it from someone who brought it back from an overseas trip. From what I remember, it tastes like really intense licorice but not in a good way. I doubt it would taste much better even if it was prepared correctly.

Actually, tastes similar to Pernod and enjoyed??? in a similar manner mixed with a little water which turns it cloudy. As with most herb based liqours, tastes like crap

Have you looked at KNOL, the newish Google wiki-like site? Sparse due to newness but the authorship rights, etc. seem interesting. I'm going to post some obscure tax related articles (COD income ,etc.) and see what happens.
