Wally
Droop, owner of the Pink Kitty, a pub for Wuxi Expats in the Nanchang
Jie District, has denied, in no uncertain terms, allegations that he
is purchasing arms from North Korea.
Allegations
had arisen after reports that a squabble, dubbed the Ding Dong Droop
Squabble by the Wuxi media, had arisen between Droop and the owner of
Juan's Mexican Bar, Juan Ding Dong.
The
squabble has divided Wuxi Expats pub patrons into two camps: the
Droop and the Ding Dong. The two sides who first began glaring at
each other and then exchanging punches, kicks, and hair-pulls, are
now reported to be stockpiling arms and munitions for an all-out
civil war of Wuxi expats.
A
recent post on a Wuxi Expat blog has reported that Droop has
purchased ten thousand Type 97 light machine guns, twenty thousand
RGD-33 fragmentation hand grenades, thirty thousand Type 51 90mm
rocket launchers, forty thousand 152 mm M1937 (ML-20) howitzer-guns,
fifteen thousand T-34/85 Tanks, and four hundred Ilyushin Il-10
Shturmovik fighter aircraft from the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea.
Droop
denies he has been purchasing any arms from anybody. “It is all
the crazed imaginings of some bitter blogger trying to satirize me.”
said Droop to reporters who had come to his pub on Sunday to sample
his all-day buffet.
Asked
his thoughts about Juan Ding Dong, Droop said he hadn't meet the guy
and didn't know there was a Ding Dong pub in Wuxi. “If you ask me,
this Ding Dong is the further crazed imaginings of that crazed bitter
blogger I mentioned before. This blogger's attempts to syncretize
elements of Chinese and Mexican names in his satirizing are totally
lame. He is insulting the Chinese with this Ding Dong thingie, and
there are no Mexicans named Ding Dong.”
Asked
about the tanks and missile launchers that could be seen parked in
the compound of the back of his Pink Kitty Pub, Droop said that they
were all for non-military uses. “The tanks and missile launchers
only shot glitter and confetti for celebrations like New Year's and
the Golden Week Celebration.” insisted Droop.
