When it comes to Darwinism, what the hell does fairness have to do with it. Evolution is inherently unfair.
-- Johnnie Royale
JRoyale
Johnny ROYALE, however, is the King of the High Rollers! He's Elvis,
Dean Martin, Dennis Farina and Joe Pesce all wrapped up into one! He
drinks top shelf liquor and pays rock-bottom prices. He brunches in
Atlantic City, does cocktail hour in Beverly Hills and then jets to
the other coast to prowl the streets of Manhattan after midnight. He
can mix a Perl-Java Web site with one hand and a pearl-onion gimlet
with the other and still not break a sweat.
If there's just one thing I know in this mixed-up, crazy world, Mister
Turkish for Bent or Curved, it's that if there's an UNHOLY PLOT going
on somewhere, JOHNNY ROYALE is the man behind it.

While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
