Hell In A Handbasket

Cincinnati's Only Subculture Zine

I'm officially going to patent/"coin" this phrase!

I'm sure I've done it in the past, but I make it a very serious point to no longer do it. I'm not calling anyone out directly by this. I'm just giving it a definition and putting it out there.

Here's my official El Rey definition of the Internet Sigh.....

Internet Sigh – A comment written in one’s status box or other publically visible area to generate conversation or sympathy from one’s internet friends. The statement must be vague and full of emotion in order to generate a barrage of responses.
i.e. “Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth it?”, “That’s it, I give up!!!”, “Does (s)he think I’m stupid???”, “I hate (wo)men”
-note the use of three exclamation points or question marks indicates the need for an immediate response. Repeating similar comments will continue until one gets the desired response.

Please also note that Internet Sighs are not to be confused with Internet Weather Reports (such as “Rain, rain go away”), or State of the Week Addresses (such as “I hate Mondays”, "Happy Humpday!" or “TGIF!” )

Rather than to sigh, use the interwebs to hone your brain power.

Try the SAT test question of the day.

If you can't be happier, at least be smarter.

well said... someone was talking about this on the radio this morning. The interwebs has SO much information.... it's like a huge genie that can answer ANYTHING. You can learn anything, get any question answered, you could fill your brain with knowledge.

But what do people use the internet for? This.

" we have done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us. "

That never made sense until NOW!

You're welcome.

Sorry about the reference to the Book of Common Prayer, it was an involuntary reaction after clicking that link you provided.
Despite my pious unbringing, I become uncomfortably warm while in houses of worship or even on consecrated ground these days.

Good thing my great-aunt the nun fixed things for me with the Blessed Virgin.
I've got a get out of Hell free card.

heh heh

Pretty much. the wormwood is what gives the "opiate" effect. Otherwise its just really bad tasting alcohol. Absinthe in the U.S. must be Thujone Free to be approved by the FDA. Thujone is the chemical that comes from wormwood.

Is the fake absinthe just alcohol? I had the real stuff years ago. It was made by the friend of a girlfriend. He was a kind of wizard alchemist. It was kind of opiate like.
