Wohoo! I’m in! \ \ I’ll have to see about setting up the jungle-area network for the Libations Ordering System immediately, your Majesty.

Hey, Angkins - care for a midnight snack? Sorry I missed you earlier, I was, uh, out looking for tapioca. Yeah, that’s it. Anyway, I’ve got a nice sirloin right here, or would you prefer something with the bone in? OHHHHHH! Sorry, sirloin it is 😉 :: sizzzzzzzzzzzz :: Coming right up! I think you might need the protein for extra energy. Hey Sunspace - there’s a big Cypress tree over there. It might make a nice _rooter_ for your network. (groan) ---

Ministry of Information Infrastructure update: Since long Latinate words are too much effort for the lifestyle and indolence of this island, as per this executive order #2000Q, the Ministry of Information Infrastructure is hereby renamed to be the Ministry of Things That Go Beep in the Night. Thank you. Now where’s that line-up? ---

I think you should bring some goats along for milk, cheese, and general pets. I volunteer to be the **Resident Goat Herder** if you’ll have me. We could even make a sacrifice and cook one for special occasions, as long as there’s enough. ---
