I was stumped too KL but I found a solution.

It's a coffeeshop. See here:
http://williamgibsonboard.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2866012481/m/4146021563/p/165


So, Corteshester: A coffee shop having approximately two stories.

Funes the Memorious has a name for numbers ranging into the many thousands. A name is not a definition.

Kenmeer, the name, means, uh, me. Kenmeer the etymology means sea view.

Alright:

Corteshester: synecdoche for stovetop coffeemaker manufactured by the Corteshest Coffee Company of Ireland in the late 19th century. Coffee being something of a dsirty word in the UK, afficiandos of the bean referred to coffee by brand name: Corteshest. "Strike up the Corteshester, William? It's looking to be a long night."

No right to complain? Cmon Aisha, we WGBers don't need a right to complain. I certainly don't.

Plus you take all the fun out of it when I don't get to lord it over you. She's found my Achilles Heel! Indifference.

Hmmm, I think I'll go with Aisha. I know, I know, it goes against my principles, but I like her laptop wallpaper. Enjoy!

I know. I know.

You are just, and won't let your love of White Russians alter your judgement.

ML laugh only

good old-fashioned stirring, but clearing up the mess and taking credit. Why didn't I think of that?
