It also claims to be jenever, I think.
This cannot be. Every Dutch person I've ever seen (2) drink Ketel One has been surprised that it did not taste like "totayl shit, man". My guess is jenever is something way, way more different.

Jenever was sort of the precursor to Gin. It's more strongly flavored though. I don't remember the exact difference.
But the Ketel One people make Vodka, Citroen Vodka, and Jenever. Three separate products.

I'm dutch and the first time I drank gin was on a party when I was already oretty wasted. I filled half a cup and tasted. It was the most disgustin shit I ever drank. So naturally I ad-fundumed the rest. Jenever tastes totally different in my experience, for instance, it doesn't taste like shit.
But I'm more of a whisky man really.

Ray is sort of the knucklehead Bertie Wooster of the strip, isn't he? So rich and such a fool. Lacks only Bertie's knack for falling in and out of love and his pair of controlling aunts, really.

Damn you're right.
And now, trying to imagine other intersections of Achewood and the Woosterverse is hurting my brains. Beef == Gussie Fink-Nottle? No; unfair to Beef.

The interesting thing is, this is probably the longest Ray has gone without smiling in years. Looks like he's not bullshitting.

The idea of this necklace has always bothered me. It's just a damn literary device to put a final nail into this storyline. Cornelius makes it worthwhile though.

And although I do believe in the necklace, you do have to give Cornelius's account a lot of credit. Ray's positivity is over-determined.

Strangely enough, things REALLY get to me when my brain is suspended in Dutch ethanol.
I have been using Mr. Bear's line in the real life for awhile now.

Mr. Bear really is a dick in this one
Nah dude. He just layin it down straight.
Think of how you would react if you had a friend inches from suicide and someone suggests wearing a magical incan gold necklace to make him happy. Riiiiight.
he is. if you believe in the magic of the volvo of despair why shouldn't you believe in chochacho?
Same reason it's easier to believe in Hell than Heaven.
Experience
That and, well, look at the source. What's more likely? That Ray happened to have a holy relic of the Incan Fun God, or that Ray's talking out of his ass/been seriously misled about his necklace's origins?
More people need friends like Mr. Bear, always willing to give it to you straight, slicing through all 48 brands of bullshit you are trying to throw at them.
Mr. Bear is just speaking in the heat of a moment.
