Best of the Ouest

Maybe Sheena should have called this "Stupid Bar Tricks - Part 4", but it's not "her" stupid bar trick. Why the hell every decent hotel room in Ottawa is full this week is beyond me. But here I am. In the Best Western in the armpit of the Outaouais watching guys in Tip Top suits from the '90s try to impress the barmaid with some undetermined thing with a napkin and a wine bottle. She's trying to one-up him by turning a napkin into a rubber chicken shape. So far she's winning.

I wish I knew exactly what he's trying to do. Break it? Get the cork out? He's awfully determined, to the point where I think he's forgotten about the fact that Colorado is beating Toronto on the above-bar-mounted flat screen TV.

But, the Pinot Grigio is only $6 a glass, it's not too gross, the glasses are surprisingly good quality, and well, as per SheenaVision's passim: Free Wireless Fills the Empty Soul.

Update: Well holy shit. This was the trick, and after a painful production in front of the crowd of a dozen, he finally pulled it off.

Fuck. Now here come the card tricks. Where's one of Jan Wong's oppressed when we need him.
