But we didn’t listen… We never do.
Finally, after months of work we’ve succeeded in building a prototype of world’s first USB Absinthe Spoon.
We’d like to share this formidable instrument with a few select testers, but we can’t hand these babies out to just anyone.
You’ll have to tell us why you deserve one of the first USB Absinthe Spoons:
Update 3/2: Wow, the response to our chef d’oeuvre was much bigger than we expected. This is going to take a little bit of time, but rest assured, testers are being chosen (which is an incredibly difficult task) and the design of the spoon is being re-worked to allow for a larger production run.
PS If you’re curious who we are, who said we couldn’t and why we did, check out the history of the spoon.
We made a store where you can buy USB Absinthe fairy t shirts and stickers and stuff.
Are you wondering what absinthe is? If not, let us refresh your memory of the gloriously history of absinthe art to give some context for our masterpiece.
Have you ever had absinthe (or any hard alcohol) with grainy sugar in it? I have. And that’s why I need a USB absinthe spoon.. so that this never happens again.
I propose p2p romanticism. Add a drop of laudanum, and have a visit from the green fairy, now with 2 gigabytes of flash memory.
Also, alcohol is several times better when it is USB 2.0 compliant.
It works one of two ways, either you’ve not had enough absinthe and your programming hard and fast, or you’ve had enough absinthe and you can no longer find the USB to programmer hard fast and Imaginatively.I need this spoon I need to be able to code and mix I need that wonderful mix of hallucinogenic creativity that 4am absinthe driven coding brings.
How else could I wean my PC off the methadone?
Because “there is no spoon”
I deserve an Absinthe Spoon so that I can have daily visits from the Green Fairy!
i want one cause i need to prove to my girlfriend that internet is a beautiful place where you can find usb spoon. girls don’t understand why i need so many usb keys/devices/toys… please help me make a point.. and fight the power…
I’ll need one so I can show more computer users the awesomeness that is Absinthe, do I need any other reason? Didn’t think so.
Because an absinthe-tini will fuck you up!
my wife, who has never done a single drug, is willing to drink Absinthe with me… i will need this spoon for an Absinthe virgin.
Personally I don’t need one, but I have a friend who would love one. This guy makes his own Absinthe all the time. But he isn’t a huge computer user. I propose that you give it to me so I can get together with my friend. We make some Absinthe and I will use the USB part of the spoon to help blog about the experience. With my friend we can tell you how well the spoon stacks up against his collection of Absinthe spoons. I think that sounds like a fun project.
I need an Absinthe spoon so that I can hack it and produce a viable method of running computers solely off alcoholic beverages. It will also be used to recharge iPod’s.
This is, of course, step one of subsection A of part I of phase alpha in my master plan to take over the world!
Because I was of those naysayers who declared it couldn’t be done. I wish to stare upon the faults of mine own presumptuousness and to then randily knock back sips of a necessary coping mechanism, having utilized aforementioned naysaid device.
It seems like the perfect accessory for late-night readings of e-text Hemingway and Poe, thus avoiding unnecessary trips to the wet bar.
..Because alcohol is much more fun when electricity is involved.
Because @ my last house party, 3 people succeeded in lighting my coffee table on fire trying to use a regular spoon.
Because with the USB Absinthe spoon it clearly is bringing two great items together, The beautiful ability to have absinthe anywhere you go, with the ability to keep your USB Drive with you to store your data… In doing so it would also be a great way to show people that you too, enjoy Absinthe.
Why do I deserve one?
Quite simple.
Why not?
Because I really really really want it!
WTF is absinthe???
Absinthe has been proven time and time again to be non-hallucinogenic. What is the big deal with this rubbish? How about a usb crack spoon?
I love Absinthe, the sabor, the logan, which is really good, i still have the bottle. very delicious, with the flaming sugar and water to a nice milky white glow. (specially in a black light). Yes, Absinthe is the miracle wonder.
Long Live the Green Fairy.
*cheers
Because It would look cool to see one of these spoons protruding from my computer while its plugged in. And, of course, I’m a good tester of things.
because I deserve it for all the freaking data entry I have to do all day long even though I have a freaking BS in Computer Science. The Absinthe takes the pain away.
I don’t need an Absinthe Spoon?
Because I have half a bottle of absinthe in my cupboard right now
I have a bar/drink review website, for one. The other reason, though, is that I recently found a bar in Raleigh, NC that actually sells absinthe - they have their own little club every Wednesday. I think allowing them to have a look at it, seeing their opinions, and trying it out with them would probably be one of the best promotions, well, ever.
I first started an affair with the green fairy when I was 16. She came to me after my first bottle of Absinthe and has stayed with me ever since. She thinks its wise you pass me the first USB Absinthe spoon to help create more blogs, programs and fucked up paintings whilst I cut my ear off.
This is so weird! I was just telling my friend I needed a new spoon as my current one is bent and annoying. We were also discussing the crazy amount of USB ports on my machine and lack of anything to plug in! Even if I don’t get one from this, I will someday buy one. Spooky!
I spend too much time in a coffee shop that serves many kinds of absinthe/absinth.
I can put this under heavy load =P
I deserve one because I actually have some absinthe.
As an absinthe drinker and programmer, i believe that i could be able to enjoy both of my hobbies, with one tool. I could seal deals by sliding over the information on a USB drive, and a glass of delicious Wormwood spirit.
1. Wormwood
2. 19th Century French recipe
3. USB 2.0
4. ????
5. PROFIT!
Because I got trashed on black absinthe at £3.50 a shot.
suave.
Why do I deserve a USB absinthe spoon? I deserve one because of all of the other injustices in the world, homeless puppies, unseen rainbows and out of work hookers. I deserve one because America deserves to know that it is free and beautiful. Finally, I deserve one because, well I guess I don’t have a real reason that I deserve it over anyone else, but at least I can admit that!
-Bob
This would be the perfect compliment for my new bar. Service device and mixology directions all in one!
I deserve one because I see the beauty, and the dual nature of this piece of hardware.
There’s no better way to complete my USB pub than with an absinthe spoon.
Only with a completely insane and utterly near pointless USB Absinthe spoon could I completely demonstrate my geekiness to my co-workers. Such things as hacking protocol stacks and writing incredible applications just don’t cut it anymore. You have to demonstrate something geeky related with something everyone else understands, alcohol.
Because my USB, Spoon and I all need to be loaded with good stuff!
Ummm… Because it’s cool.
So I can figure out what it does.
absinthe is green
your usb plastic is blue
for the fairy to be seen
put absinthe in you
I need one to make Windows Vista tolerable.
I am a true tech geek, i have everything from dart shooter to humping dog USB connections.I love to go out and enjoy some sweet “La Bleue” Absinthe with my friends. Nothing would make me happier than to combine these two things .
john depp wishes that he had one of these in the movie from hell and frankly so do i.
As a student it goes without saying that you’d be getting a lot of testing out of it.
If I can break wget in regular use.. I can break that thing..
Because Oscar Wilde would have loved one; although he would have taunted Toulouse-Lautrec for not having one far more eloquently than I ever could.
i carry a flash of absinthe with me on trips and vacations. i also carry flash drives, to me this only makes sense for the enthusiast absinthe drinking computer nerd on-the-go, and i am exactly that!
Because the other guy from Pittsburgh above never drank Absinthe while reading letters from his Czech girlfriend as if they were beatnik poetry.
I need one because my other USB absinthe spoon broke, and despite my best efforts with Best Buy simply won’t replace it.
Why? My USB teaball is tired of serving two functions.
Were I allowed by the gods to possess a USB absinthe spoon, I could vanquish Evil and bestow Honor and Glory to my homeland. I could also partake in a fancy drink.
I need it to get my schwerve on. Ladies love to spoon, ya know. Sniff some blow and I’m good to go…
My USB 2.0 ports on the front of my PC caught on fire. Though the back ports still work my PC has basically been caught on fire and had an appendage amputated. This spoon isn’t for me. Think of my poor PC.
I need it because I brew my own absinthe with a friend. And it would look just plain sexy on my MacBook.
I deserve a spoon so that the green fairy can guide all of my computer needs. From programing, to turning it on. (Depending on the amount the of time I had already spent with the fairy)
I deserve a USB enabled Absinthe spoon. More importantly, my PC deserves a USB enabled Absinthe spoon. We need to overcome the pain that is Vista. Together..
Why carry around a usb stick AND an Absinthe spoon? I don’t know why, but I’ll tell you why NOT. It’s a little secret that will change your tune. Let’s bring the Green Fairy to the 21st century with the usb Absinthe spoon!
Like pondering the writings of Nietzsche, this is a wonderful juxtaposition of elements. A favorite quote of mine is: “Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. “
I have never tasted absinthe, and as the alchoholic nerd i am, i NEED a absinthe spoon to try out absinthe, while still being a nerd..
I smuggled two bottles of absinthe into the U.S., I bought the first bottle in Barcelona from a French restaurant called “the four cats”, I was very excited, but a little scared to bring it into the United States. I put the bottle in my checked bags and hoped for the best. My flight had a stopover in Zurich where absinthe became legal again, I said fuck it and bought another bottle to carry on the plane. I figured it wasn’t worth it to smuggle one bottle, but it was worth it for two. I risked having the Department of Homeland Security search my ass… isn’t that worth a USB spoon?
I deserve to try this out because I’m traveling to Prague in a few months to visit my ancestors homeland, and to partake in the drink that has turned many a formidable mind crazier than a fox. I can use the spoon with my laptop to keep me busy while I travel through the country side by train…
I love both my technology and my drinking (been Irish)…,
But after I found “real” Absinthe I loved it, I have bought about 20+ different versions, which I alway have to dig out joining the weekly parties at Fort Satanus MKII.
I lost my one and only Absinthe Soon and I’m unable to get another one in Ireland.
Blessings of Trogdor upon ye.
I have recently given up alcohol for twenty days for comic relief/red nose day (www.rednoseday.com)
And I love my alcohol, and it really is quite hard for me not drinking. I have so far raised £60 for charity and the amount is still rising with more people adding their names to my sponsorship form every day.
I plan to get drunk on absinthe when I pass this ordeal. Therefore I feel I deserve one.
That is why I feel I deserve one. Please consider me for one.
Kris Ball - Blackpool, UK
I deserve one because I didn’t know what an Absinthe spoon was until I saw this site and then went and looked it up.
How letting someone try it out that has a large collection of czech, spanish, and russian abinthes. Also someone who also brews there own according to medieval recipes. Oh wait…That someone is ME!!!
If I ever finish restoring Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s consciousness into a MK-III android body, I’ll need something to keep him interested in today’s events.
I need one because I can’t eat the Flying Spaghetti Monster with a fork.
because when i’m behind my computer and i desire a nice glass of absinthe i don’t want to have to stop what i’m doing to make myself a glass.. in a perfect world i should be able to attach all my peripherals and pour a nice glass of absinthe at the same time.. alas, my dreams have come true
I need a USB absinthe spoon so that I can use it demonstrate the exact moment that the final drop of anise-flavoured authenticity disappeared from the world.
In a market where distillers can rely on the Hot Topic 18-24 market salivating giddily over any bright green pseudo-psychotropic alcopop that’s packaged accordingly, and where discussions contrasting pre-Temperance movement thujone levels with the watered-down modern equivalents are as rare as my bottle of 1996 Boveresse, I think it’s safe to say that a USB Absinthe spoon will feel right at home.
I am a connoissieur of authentic wood grained alcohols from around the world, and no collection of related paraphernalia would be complete without something like this. Geeky goodness, alcohol goodness all rolled into one. Yes, I deserve one.
Because I am a famous photoshop artist and want to get rid of one my ears, but can’t unless I drink Absinthe properly. Thats with a USB Absinthe SPOON!!!
Because
(I’m a poet and an artist)
Tech
Without one I’ll never complete my next work!
I deserve one because I believe that not only would it be a great conversation piece, but would also be very useful for absinthe and computing.
“I’m a Mac.”
“I’m a PC.”
“I’m a drunken French poet.”
Data is Life, The Spoon is Life, Life IS the Data Spoon. I must become as one with the Spoon.
Because after a long hard day of work, I go to a bar in my building called Absinthe.
Yes. I would use this USB Absinthe spoon for a drink at the bar I frequent called Absinthe! (South Side on Lamar, not joking)
(Oh, and I could post comments/pictures on the site as I’m sitting at the bar on my laptop.)
I need one because I have absolutely no idea what it is or what it does. Oh, and I really like indie folk music.
Because this would give me a perfect excuse to go back to Prague and drink some Absinthe. I’ve been wanting to go back anyway, but this might be the extra push.
Because I already own the matching USB crackpipe
Hello my name s Dimitri and i’m an Alcoholic.
i need this
a: ebcause i am a ghue geek
b: becuase as any self respecting geek, i am a drinker, and i love absinthe!!!!!!
stuff is truly a gift from gates/jobs (take ur pick)
please my good sirs,
bless me with this wonderful creation,
i shall cherish it,
i will invite u all over to my place for the first bottle we use it with,
you can have my first child,
anything,
just give me the spoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do I deserve one? I don’t. I just want to wear it around my neck with all the other drives I usually have there when running around the office.
The thought of streaming midget porn off of it while in use had also occurred to me.
Because if I have one, everyone will want one- so you’ll make a fortune in sales!! Win-win!
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder!
There is a milky eye that appears
in the middle of a field of green.
Immense wings beating at my brow as
I drink of bitter dreams and I
Realize, that my lady is in waiting
I take a drink.
I dont exactly know what to think about this here. I suppose the creator used to jam spoons into outlets when he was a kid, and now he has plotted his revenge against a spoon. So as to never transmit electrical volts while being shoved into a port where electrical currency resides!
Because I’m cute and I like getting other’s drunk and I could put naked pictures of myself on the USB and see how much absinthe it takes for them to see it without a PC!
Because THEY say you can’t send me one. THEY are positive you will not be able to send me that USB Absinthe Spoon.
If I had an USB absinthe spoon then I could persuade my girlfriend to try absinthe as it’s my new toy!
I could definitely use one of those. So that friends don’t ignite the glass of absinthe, freak out, and nearly burn the apartment down again.
I’m a heavy computer user and a heavy drug/alcohol user. Need I say more?
Also,
DIBS NO COUNTER DIBS BLACKBALL BEATS IT ALL!!!
I work in a hellish place. A loud test lab with no windows to see freedom on the other side of the wall. A place full of computer systems that never do quite what they are supposed to do, with operating systems that never do anything they are supposed to do. I am constantly attacked by the stupidity of others who fail to grasp even the simplest of instructions and the egos of Open Source developers who can’t seem to understand that “Yes, your software does not work on a Real Big Machine[tm]”. Please send me the spoon. Please oh please! I need the Absinthe to dull the maddening pain. I need it and all it’s shiney USB glory to ease my stress. I need the green fairy of lore to take me to my happy place.
Unless the USB port powers some kind of ohmic heating element to gently melt crushed ice to dissolve the sugar cube — a country gentleman, I drink mine Paris-style, eschewing the bawdy pyrotechnics of the gypsy Bohemians — then I believe, good sirs, you have phoned this one in. Therefore, it is to the rest of your easily bemused cyber yes-men I leave the testing of this false widget.
looks like an electricution waitin to happen
Just get home from work…Have a few minutes to relax before you have to remote back into the work PC to help try and get ahead on that pile of projects you have sitting there…First thing you do is head to the kitchen, grab the bottle of Absinthe, a glass, some sugar cubes and head to the computer. Mindlessly you forgot the spoon…Good to know its right there, sitting right by the PC. Poor me a nice glass, pop the spoon into the USB port, pull some of those projects off onto my PC and its off to work with a little help from the green fairy. Work has never been as much fun.
That is why I need the USB Absinthe Spoon!
I don’t know if I could ever drink the Absinthe with out the right Music to chill with the fairy. This would ensure that i could have the correct tunes already loaded up in the drinking kit and have my tunes ready to chill after the goodness is enjoyed!!
I’m not an absinthe connoisseur, but I do love to combine old and new technologies so that I can poison myself with the highest level of effectiveness. I feel that, given to me, I’ll be able to use the iSpoon to further the worlds oldest and nobelist hobby - drinking heavily - and to bring it boldly into the 21st century.
>(+ me spoon)
>happieness
I deserve one of these because my USB crack pipe is on the fritz.
I need this spoon so that I can rightfully reenact an 18th century Victorian cyberpunk for my halloween costume
I really don’t deserve one but I would really like one and would use it to confuse my workmates - I will tell them that it increases my WiFi signal, or something.
If this is not a joke…Why? Because i always have a bottle of real absinthe on hand. When I get low i get friends who are coming into the states to bring me a bottle or two. How annoying is it that the good stuff is illegal in the states!
Besides that, i’m an engineering nerd that
overclocks and runs linux among other things.
The latest addition to my collection.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/7172436@N06/406088119/
why the hell would i want this? yea its freekin neat as hell but those extra few inches onto the side of my laptop would ensure breakage within days.
Because it is fucking awesome, and I deserve all things in the awesome category. Yay me!
Did I win?
Why do I need one?
Because it would go nicely with my set firewire forks and Lazer-disc plates.
As a game developer and avid absinthe distiller, the USB absinthe spoon alleviates two problems that I face on a daily basis: (1)reliable transfer and storage of sensitive data and (2)an attractable way to test my newest batches of “Mean Greenie”. This would be the ultimate way to combine my two passions.
I deserve it because its the best spoon in the entire world.
oh…my…god. This is amazing! Thank you.
My fingers are wisps of greeness. As I type, the keyboard disolves into a pleasant melody reminiscent of 1880’s Paris. The sweetness on my tongue and the faint taste of licorce is fading now as I fall. Fall. Fall.
Because I have to write the tests for the software these people write.
Because code is always incomplete and it requires great imagination to figure out how to break things in ways sane people would never attempt.
Because absinthe is hellaciously effective at decreasing stress levels and increasing cognitive creativity.
Because I can carry it with my laptop and write/drink/show off all at the same time.
Because God knows I’ll get fired if I don’t have a backup of these friggin test cases.
Because I am a poor college student living on a boring campus. And because my friends are also poor college students living on a boring campus. Ease our pain, give us something to do.
P.S. Because I love you?
I deserve this spoon because I’m the only person I know to have actually downed an entire bottle of Absinthe in one sitting.
Cuz unlike 95% of you, I own a Mac and I can stick the USB into the Mac and make sure things are peachy.
USB Absinthe will make all those pirated movies I watch all the more exciting!
I don’t think i live a sober day. This absinthe spoon would be very helpful in getting me up and running everyday. It would be like the coffee mixer for a person who much perfers hard liquor in the morning.
well, the reason why I need one? I just do, simply put.
I am an afficianido of all things weird obscure or out there i have had fresh saki and seen lolitas in there natural enviroment. as i am typing this i am drinking soda that no one has ever heard of in a one of a kind glass on a macbook running windows
save us from ourselves and just make this available for purchase somewhere.
Because I’ve spent the last couple of years cultivating wormwood.
I deserve one because I have no idea what it is and need to find out after all of the hype.
I crunch number all day long,now if I had the absinthe usb spoon my day would be much much much more pleasant
Because there’s nothing like pouring liquids through something attached to your pc while intoxicated.
Because if you don’t I will cut off my ear and give it to a hooker!
I deserve this usb absinthe spoon for a very simple reason: I need it because I do drink absinthe often, I’d actually use it a lot, and it would be unique!
I live in Portugal, where this beverage isn’t illegal, and I love to indulge my self with this magical drink.
Can’t wait to use your absinthe spoon with it!
Because my old USB Absinthe spoon won’t run Vista.
A USB Absinthe spoon containing recipes and where to get ingredients is the best way to tell someone you really care, and am sorry for making them drink the swill Burning Man recipe produced.
I need this because then I can sell it on ebay and make some cash.
O mighty spoon I don’t deserve you, you deserve me!
with my doubling as a graphic designer and koala enthusiast / trainer, ive come to the realization that even as violent and unpredictable, koalas are terribly patient when eating or being administered medicine. one of the most effective ways to give the oral medicine is with mixing sugar through the liquid medicine…which leads me to my point. im not entirely sure what absinthe is, but for the koala trainer on the go, (living in the information age), the ability to prepare the medicine via said spoon, all the while uploading my newest layout or postscript font file, would certainly increase productivity as well as eliminate some of the hassle and blood loss of some of the more frequent attacks from the admired and adorable creatures. thank you for your consideration.
Because this is just one of those things you simply have to have…
If I don’t get an absinthe spoon…..I’ll die.
The vaulted USB Absinthe Spoon. A treasure amongst treasures. I would simply claim material desire, but the truth is shocking. I deserve the USB Absinthe Spoon because…I lost one in the flooding of Hurricane Katrina. My city has never been the same since. Heartbroken, I’ve been, without a USB Absinthe Spoon in my life. Many nights, cries of “Spoooooooooooon!” could be heard echoing through the French Quarter, mingling with the sad clang of the streetcar named Desire.
With this USB Absinthe Spoon, my life will once again be complete. Rejoice, I shall, with family and friends, as we hoist the mighty USB Absinthe Spoon above us and sing, “All hail the USB Absinthe Spoon! We are whole again!” There will be much celebration, and likely shrines will be built in your honor. New Orleans will dance into the night, brandishing the USB Absinthe Spoon on our laptops, quaffing copious amounts of the Green Fairy, and the world will be right. All for the granting of a single USB Absinthe Spoon.
I deserve the absinthe spoon because my co worker’s computer was born with a silver spoon in its port and my computer is jealous.
I deserve this for having once given a 30 min lecture on the marks left by a tile saw on a human skull while hallucinating from a twelve hour long absinthe binge with one of my lab mates to complete the lecture notes.
It is very hard not to laugh while the baby chimp skeleton in the back of the room is waving at you.
Because you WANT to give me a USB absinthe spoon!
…and because it would also make me feel a little bit better about my $300/bottle Absinthe King Gold addiction!!
Because “Euro Trip” was freaking hilarious and the geek in me needs one.
I need it because I need to save my work repeatedly as I drink more and more absinthe. It would allow me to retain me electronic memory as I lose my physical memory.
Ummm, My USB slots are verticle. And are you going to provide the illegal Absinthe for me in America? lol
This is the most useless thing I have ever seen, and for that reason alone I WANT ONE.
I deserve a USB Absinthe spoon because my USB Teddy Bear is a green sticky mess…
I will mix about half an ounce green colored Absinthe with 8 ounces of water with the USB absinthe spoon and put four sugar cubes in it.
Within minutes my tongue will feel really swollen and everything will seem to be moving in slow motion. Then I will be able to understand Alfred Jarry, the french dramatist and satirist, who wrote the widly grotesque satirical farce “Ubu Roi” written in 1896 (also “King Ubu”) which was a precursor to the Theatre of the Absurd. He used to drink 5-10 glass of absinthe a day.
During one night of visits from the green goblin (whatever is in that bottle ain’t no fairy) the spoon was lost, I don’t know where it went or how it got there but it is no longer available. Addtionally, I’m a geek and appreciate all geek things.
I deserve this USB absinthe spoon for one simple reason: I (and a friend of mine) once drank an entire bottle of absinthe while watching the movie Gigli.
Because I have a bottle en route from Prague,my girlfriend recently dumped me for a guy in a rock band,and this will most definitely help me impress the new ladies!
Because i have a nurse that has to cum round mine every fortnight and give me a injection to keep me calm, maybe this will help!!!!!! keep the little green pixies from drinking all my absinthe!
I need one to go with my USB lighter, my USB sugar cube dispenser, and my USB powered Absinthe tap. I also have a USB hangover detector.
I don’t deserve this spoon in any traditional sense. You deserve to present to me the spoon with a moderate degree of pomp. I will take the spoon and hide the spoon. I will occasionally reveal the spoon, only to use the spoon as a means to scold and berate those who romanticize narcotic poisons and indulgent excesses. I will install the spoon on a public computer, possibly at a library or tax office. I will hope and pray, but never investigate or verify, that the spoon is riddled with malware and trojan attacks. I will possibly try scooping up ice cream with the spoon, to see if the extrusions live up to their reputation. Other than that, yeah, I will take the spoon and hide the spoon.
One word: “Wifey”, no seriously, I just finished off my bottle of Absinthe, (w/o a spoon) and need an excuse to buy another over-taxed-by-Canadian government bottle. I don’t buy the French Absinthe either, its all Czech recipe consumption here. When my bro’s visit, the absinthe always kept them warm, but until then, they will have to shoot the old Everclear. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everclear_(alcohol)
If I win, you will receive pictures of a alcohol fueled fiasco.
Never seen the Green Fairy, I’ve seen five red ones, and five blue ones, but never one Green one!
I need the spoon so I can see the Green Fairy
I need one because that is the way to be the new van gogh… a little Absinthe and Photoshop. Isnt that what he’d want?
Plus quite a nice idea, I always have my computer, but not always fire.
Who doesn’t need one anyway?
absinthe spoon are you ridiculous who would create such a device. I was just thinking to myself what would be the most incredulous electronic device ever created and have no fear I found it. The answer appeared while perusing digg, the absinthe usb spoon. Kudos for making it. Kudos for combining drink and electronics. After the initial laughing and humor faded I thought what utility does this have .. ah never mind screw utility your combining drink with circuitry. That in and off itself is good enough for me
I need it to complete the set! You see, kind sirs, that I already have an Absinthe Fork and Absinthe Knife. I’ve been searching high and low for a genuine Absinthe Spoon that wasn’t a cheaply made Chinese knock-off without success. So your Absinthe Spoon would make my set whole again.
Additionally, the protruding USB plug would greatly aid (when necessary) with removing the Absynth Spoon from my rectum, which is a feature that’s sorely lacking in the Absinthe Fork and Absinthe Knife that I currently own!
Thank you for your consideration.
because theres no way you would send a spoon to new zealand, and if you did I would throw an absinthe party, and record it , and put it on the spoon, to be stored forever as a tribute to your genius.
You have to test it with Linux too…
In Liverpool, a friend had no money, but a pair of die. We started playing a made-up roll-playing game called “Forbin’s Quest.” Then, we noticed there was Absenthe.
So, what better to use the dice for that gamble with the pub owner for the half-bottle remaining. You don’t want to know what we were willing to give up if we lost.
Because if I don’t get one the terrorists win!
plug in, turn on, drop sugar
Kinda bored would give me something to do in my spare time.
What a great product! I am in the process of building an absinthe site and would be very interested in trying on of these out as well as promoting it!
I want a usb absinthe spoon because a rocket-zool is threatening me with a heavy crossbow and swears she’s shooting unless i get that amazing piece of innovation.
She cant read english (all rocket-zools are originally from macedonia) so if you read this call 911.
I need one to keep my data backed-up when the green fairy pays a visit
And because I’m already drunk at 2:30 in the afternoon…
As one of the few people with US legal access to absinthe, and as a hardware integrator/tester I would supply accurate feedback on the device.
Because I’ll use it to get good and trashed and then blog about it. I get wasted, you get free publicity, everyone wins!!!!! whee capitalism
ONE WORD:
Macsinthe.
Need I say more?
I deserve the spoon becuase it will end my quest to be the “coolest kid on the block”
Yes folks geeks can be the cool kids!
Because I’m not drunk right now and I need an excuse
I deserve an absinthe spoon USB drive for three reasons, one because my current USB drive has NOTHING to do with Absinthe, and two because I smile every time someone sends me mail containing original and groundbreaking technology. And three because my current drive holds a measly 1gb.
I am lucky to have a girlfriend as geek as me. I like to surprise her every now and then with a little something to remind her I love her. Last time I bought her plushies in form of microbes (from thinkgeek.com) because she is very afraid of diseases (she gets something at least twice a week being fragile as she is).
She is going through a stressful time these days being back to school after a long time. She likes to drink half a glass of wine in the evening to calm her down.. Stress hits hard for her.
I’d love to support her a bit more and this would be an awesome gift with that “La Bleu Clandestine” I bought not long ago.
thank you!
Feh, I’m waiting for the scsii hypodermic needle ….
I deserve a USB absinthe spoon because I not only actually *like* the taste of absinthe, but because I usually indulge in a small glass of it while I’m writing the lessons for Gothic Charm School. Surely, someone who’s been writing an advice and etiquette site for Goths for almost 10 years is deserving of a USB absinthe spoon?
For the sake of literature! As a James Joyce scholar, I can see to it, through rigorous and repetitive experimentation, that the true meaning of the violent, absinthe-fueled climax of Joyce’s Ulysses [page 567: Nothung! (He lifts his ashplant high with both hands and smashes the chandelier. Time’s livid final flame leaps and, in the following darkness, …] can be transcribed by DIRECT COMPUTER INTERFACE!
Because I work on La Clandestine absinthe and it’s the second anniversary of La Clandestine official legalisation and launch on March 1st. And I’ll publicise it on our absinthe web sites!
I brought back 4 bottles of absinthe from Prague last year but I lost my spoon. I need a new one and what would be better than a USB absinthe spoon?
…because it would finally be the perfect place for my USugerB cubes!
I’ll make my own absinthe-usb freak of nature with some hockey tape. That is, if I get that desperate.
