The rice trick works well with water, but with something sticky like a rum and coke, you really need to wash it off, then let it dry completely before applying power.
Yeah work will take care of it, just a pain since I already had one laptop die on me. I didn't really shake it, more just tilted it a few ways to get the liquid out.

I have the keyboard out and the battery, DVD drive, memory etc. There has been very little evidence of the spill, so I may luck out after all.
