He's not really Bond movie material - more like a prime-time TV knock-off. I was thinking of the old Hawaii Five-O villain, Wo Fat (Whoa, Fat!!)

Sorry about that FRiend. Seems I took it a little too literally. Prost! That must be some tasty well water!
Here in Indiana we sit on limestone so our water is pretty hard.

You can’t get much further away from the eastern shore than NM. Will be nearby - Tucson - in a few weeks.

Having a taste of an eastern shore corn based corn whiskey as we speak.

-—Why don’t these fools plant taters and raise chickens and rabbits or something!?——

You would very likely get sent to re-education prison if you did that...or the military would confiscate it...

free enterprise does not exist at all in NK...
