Kraftwork

The definite hierachy of disgusting drinks is one of society's unspoken agreements. Everyone knows that root beer is to secret bane of all human existence. Soda water & nesquik comes a close second (that fateful experiment 13 years ago still haunts my dreams). What's 3rd?

So much seems to have changed in the world... I think it's time to re-envisage my "idealistic family day out" happy place.

"... and this is how I outmanouvered the Soviet Navy in the Black Sea back in my submarine captain days", "oh, Dad, I'm so proud of you."
