Sounds interesting, I'd like to know why that is, but first, I need to finish an article on how easy the kindle is to operate one-handed.

You doing your own research? Perhaps you need help since you are writing your other book on why Kindle Books Are So Expensive? Don't want you exhausting yourself and not having time for your Kindle.

Are you volunteering? I've got room for a researcher on the staff.

Are you volunteering? I've got room for a researcher on the staff.

Since you said volunteer I'm guessing it isn't a paid position, so are there any perks? Free dinners, balloon rides, tax deductions, trips? I work for a non-profit so I ask up front.

I'll be happy to mix the drinks, Mai Tais to start? And I don't know any South American Generals on Maui so you are safe. Count me in.

 

[Encender Vaquero]

Okey-doke, you're in.  Just stay away from the cabana boys, half of 'em are ex South American Generals.

 

[TM]

Umm... if mai tais are involved... i want in.

Indeed. Encender Sunscreeno Vaquero, at your service. But just the same, we'll take TM along as a decoy in the event there's any lagging cabana generals...

 

[TM]

As long as I have mai tais, i can deal with the generals...

Perhaps we've never met?

Actually, it's damn hard to get a proper Mai Tai anymore, as few bars carry apricot brandy. When you find one, it's either 1) made from a powdered mix, or 2) actually a Hurricane... likely also made from a powdered mix.

Mai Tai's were my first legal drink. My mother took me out on my 18th b-day and got me hammered on them.

Went without sayin', Beej, knew we've got each other's back 'n wouldn't hesitate to take a mai-tai for one another

 

[Bacardi Jim]

If somebody tries to stick a Mai-Tai in your back... they're a really, really crappy bartender.

I eat crappy bartenders for breakfast.

(Thus my ongoing breath problem.)

Apricot Brandy in a Mai Tai, Jim you are rapidly losing your status with me as a rum cocktail drinker. I use the original Trader Vic's recipe the way my Daddy taught me.

The Original Trader Vic Formula - 1944

* 2 oz of 17-year old rum over shaved ice
* Add juice from one fresh lime
* 1/2 oz Holland DeKuyper Orange Curacao
* 1/4 oz Rock Candy Syrup
* 1/2 oz French Garnier Orgeat Syrup
* Shake vigorously.
* Add a sprig of fresh mint

That sounds good, GG. I'll bring the mint when the snow melts in my garden. Can you whip me up one or three?
