Blood suckers.

Nah, if China wants Japan they will simply buy it.

They have nukes, but I'm not too sure just how strong China's military is at the moment. One thing about it, they won't run out of cannon fodder anytime soon.

Actually, I'm a big fan of China. Should they fall, where will I find vacuum actuators for my Blazer that only last for three weeks?

Not exactly beer money, is it?

Chas, perhaps Uganda can pick up the slack.

If not, maybe we can get the left over there to subsidize it

Where have you had Tusker, Chas? The only place I've had it was in Kenya when I went on photo-safari about 25 years ago (from Germany - it was a pretty cheap trip back then). Tusker was the only beer around - nice label, IIRC.

I just know of it, I've never drank it.

I figure it has to be better than Lone Star or Grain Belt.
