Extra sports channels on the flat-screen digital TV I made for you from half-dozen cookie sheets and left-over tin foil? Definitely stopping by the bar. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by beagledave \* > > I’m serving Bloody Marys in the Love Shack this morning…come and get 'em > > …I could go for some steel drum music right now… \*\* Mmm… Bloody Marys. I figure I have time for two before my post-mid-afternoon-but-not-quite-time-for-my-evening-nap nap. Oh and as Minister of Naps my first official proclamation is that two naps a day are mandatory (but only if you feel like it). People found exceeding this limit will be rewarded. Most likely with a combination of wine, (wo)men, and/or song, depending on your personal preference. Now if you’ll excuse me all this policy making has made me thirsty. ---

To Her Majesty Kellibelli the First: I hereby present myself as candidate for the position of Minister of Information Infrastructure. This position would be in charge of the Island web pages, domain registration, and local-area network (said network being the well-known “jungle telegraph”). It would of course have to liase with the Ministry of Finance, for the proper disposal of rhe revenue from offshore domain registrations in the .kb top-level domain to be set up. And we could set up a thriving industry of hand-carved coconut-and-palm-leaf webservers and other trinkets for the tourist market, through a liaison with the Ministry of Tourism. Respectfully, Sunspace (possibly soon ex-) Canadian ---

Say [these things](http://www.tropical-islands.com/) are more affordable than I thought. [this one](http://www.tropical-islands.com/crawl_cay_2.htm) is only $400K!!! I’m not sure we could fit everyone on it, though… [This one](http://www.vladi-private-islands.de/sales_islands/sites/09_tetar.html) is a bit more expensive, but it’s bigger and has the added advantage of a Polynesian location… Start shopping, islanders! ---
