I just stepped out onto my veranda. I just opened my
one-of-a-kind, platinum G4 PowerBook. I just had Derwood mix me a fantastic gin
and tonic, with a gin so good that the bottle promises at least three Croatian
juniper farmers died in the production process, per bottle, while
safeguarding their crops from Slobodan Milosevic's ethnic cleansers. And I'll
tell you, it might have been borne of bloodshed, but you spritz that shit up
with a squirt of lime, and you will instantly be swept into the easy, breezy,
summer spirit of sailing and self-indulgence.
