Need Rose's Lime Juice, STAT!

He had an okay point. So I waited a minute to call Dealer Dan back. Turned out it was a minute too long. Cause no sooner did I snatch up the blower than the F-15’d begun a dive straight towards Dealer Dan’s brig.

“Kamikaze!” shouted Duq.

“Cool,” came the voice of Moses over the radio, “My favorite drink.” - Moses, Putative Employee of the Week Elect


Dear saints preserve Moses, he appears to be on course to divide the seas in the immediate vicinity of Dealer Dan's brig, but only for a split second before exploding in an heroic blaze of glory. Oh, if only Gus can relay him the missile-firing sequence so helpfully uploaded by ED R.

Drat, that would be far too easy.

While there are many stories of how the Gimlet got its start, they all agree that it began in the British Royal Navy as a means of preventing scurvy. Over the years, the Gimlet traveled to the United States and enjoyed - along with other classic cocktails such as the martini - great popularity in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s when its fame peaked. Its popularity never really completely faded, however. In the 1980s, the Gimlet transformed into the Kamikaze, the ultra popular cocktail made with vodka, Rose's Lime Juice and Triple Sec -- Mott's, mfr.of Rose's Lime Juice


Moses is making his potentially suicidal move on Dealer Dan's boat; he has stated that Kamikazes are his favorite drinks. That being said, we're going to need a lot of Rose's and ALL of the Stoli in stock, because all and sundry will be raising a glass (or canning jar) in Moses' honor (and preferably not in his memory).

It pleases me greatly that there is a Royal Navy connection to Kamikazes, as they are actually good old British-fashion Gimlets. I never knew that - it's amazing the things one can learn from this Whole Whale Web thingy.

I shall be printing off copies of Gus' "Wanted" poster to post down on the docks - I do hope I don't encounter any rent-boys whilst there, they can be such cheeky buggers (pardon, particularly apt language).



Note to Self: Post down by the Docks. Make copies at that Kinkys place. Avoid rent-Boys. Posted by Hello
