Aloha!

Boo Loo just came up with a funny idea the other night that I thought I'd throw out there: Most of you are familiar with the NATO phonetic alphabet from the 50s:

Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta Echo Foxtrot Golf Hotel India Juliet Kilo Lima Mike November Oscar Papa Quebec Romeo Sierra Tango Uniform Victor Whiskey Xray Yankee Zulu

For use in sending messages at sea and what not. Well, anyway, now we have our own to use, thanks to Josh:

Alligator Birds Cats Devil Elephant Frenchy Grim Reaper Hipsters Idol Jetsetter Kapu Liquor Minotaur Nightlife Oku (Ohana Oonu) Purgatory Queen Rum Shriners Tiki Undertaker Venus Wolf X Yawner Zombies

Try sending a message with it. Anyway, it sounded funny at midnight. Have a good one.

(maybe we could modify it to make it "tiki-er")

My version, alchol stylee:

Alcohol, Bitters, Curacao, Drambuie, Eggs, Falernum, Galliano, Hennesy, Imbibe, JD, Kahlua, Libation, Mai Tai, Nectar, O'douls, Pusser's, Quinine, Rum, Shark Bite, Tequila, Underage, Vodka, Whiskey, Dos Equis, Jaeger, Zombie

ok, not quite up to code. The NATO code was made for ease of use, with all but Golf, Mike, Novmber, Uniform, and Romeo consisting of 2 syllables... and then, it has to be said ins ome strange shorthand speech that sounds like a southern accent. Well, not really.

I like beans.

nice work, monkeyboy.

But we certainly can't have O'Douls on there, can we? How about Ouzo?

And creative thinking on the Jaeger, but how about Yellow Bird? or something?

Very slick Al! I still love your suggestion for a name for the Brit's tiki festival - The UK-Lau!
