liquor tricks
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007thanks to those who responded to the NY housing issue, Laura & I now have places to stay! we will pay in comics and monopoly money.
you can no longer buy Fart Party mini comics online right now, but if you have ordered them in the past, I will still mail them to you. Issues 4.5-7 will be available again in a few months, but issues 1-4 will only be available at the following two conventions:
MoCCA, June 23rd-24th in New York and the Portland Zine Symposium August 11th-13th in Portland OR. Issues 1-4 are being collected in a book due out this October. But worry not, DIY fans! I will keep releasing self published mini comics until the day they pry my long armed stapler from my cold, ink stained & callous ridden hands.
In the mean time, thanks to Josh from Comics Curmudgeon who sent many readers my way and, while I haven’t listened to it yet, I’m 10 kinds of curious to see what Lonely Planet has to say about their trip to “the axis of evil” at

can you really push a cork in to open a wine bottle? that’s… crazy but ingenious.
June 5th, 2007 at 1:15 pm
I’ve often used the poor man’s way. (In Austria that’s quite a common way if you forgot the opener. But you may use some kind of stick to push the cork in.)
Years ago me and my best pal did it the desperate way - without the coffee filter, and drinking directly from the bottle: miraculously we didn’t hurt ourselves.

there is another way, it involves a solid wall, a folded towel and a thirsty person

You can stay at my house if you want. Just let me know ahead of time! I have one couch and one futon in the living room so there’s enough room for two people. But I have two other guests coming to stay on Sunday night so my couches are only open for Friday and Saturday. Get in touch if you’re interested!

I used the desperate way back in high school. Very dangerous.

Hey I was just talking with Liz B. If you need a place for Sunday and beyond you can use my house, I’ve got the guest room available plus 2 futon couches. But you’ve been there so you know the deal. Let me know.

I’ve don the ‘push cork into bottle’ trick.
But then I know people who drink rubbing alcohol.
June 6th, 2007 at 6:05 pm
Jesus, are they alright? That’s not the same kind of alcohol at all, and it’s quite poisonous.

That’d be def.

Tonight, I was having a party with wine but without a corkscrew, and luckily I remembered this comic. I showed my friends Sally and Aaron, who proceeded to successfully remove a cork with a pair of scissors
