   Yes! Arabian-zafari! I think I'll try and sell that to the tourists! ;)

   Yes! And the more they thin out, the better we'll do! =)

   Boo! Please make my day job easier and become a slave to marketing.

   For me it's red wine. For some reason I find it disgusting. The best red   
   wine I ever tasted was "ok". Sparkling, sure, white wine, sure, port wine,   
   why not, but regular red wine is the invention of the devil!

   That's a disadvantage with the weird whiskey I drink every 5 years or so.   
   They are not hangover proof! Vodka and beer, that I can drink plenty of   
   and not even smell a hangover.

   Well, I guess it must be the nostalgic feeling of having been brought up   
   on Pabst when you were a child, right? ;)   
      
   What about Busch light? When I was a student in Chicago, we bought Busch   
   light by the bucket, since it was so cheap _and_ it also contained   
   alcohol! ;)
