    The real question is, how many drink stirers will fit down there?

    Ah, an engineering question. If we look at this analytically, the real question is the volume of each drink stirrer and the available volume for receiving the stirrers. It is difficult to reach a hard answer because of the...um..."soft" nature of the confining material. As drink stirrers are inserted, the confining material will be displaced in an upward fashion. I will postulate that a nearly unlimited number of stirrers could be inserted if you are willing to risk upward exposure of the confining material and eventual failure of the support system.

    :D

    Of course, the softly yielding "structure" would obviously have to give permission first

    That's why alcohol was invented.

    Permission?
    Is that the same as passive non-resistance?

    Hmmm speaking of Medieval Renaissance fairs, I wonder how I'd look in tights? Or has that mental image frightened everybody? Tom??

    The next Ren Faire we are going to is in August.
    I have a new, better fitting vest this year.

    Just something to look forward to! ;)

    Sigh. Well, it wasn't meant to be. I guess they were TOO skimpy, they split when I tried them on.

    Why did the Hulk's shirt always split, but never his pants?

    Hey, Jay, what kinda cheap tights did you buy? Try some high quality lycra cycling tights. MEC at 303 Portage should have some in stock. Get the right size this time. :p

    Did I mention I was cheap? Yes, got them at a thrift store.

    Mountain Equipment? I like that store, lot of neat stuff inside. Perhaps not as exciting as the old S.I.R. store, now Cabela's

    Cabelas Canada - Home

    I could spend hours in Cabela's just playing with the camping gear.

    Yes, Mountain Equipment Co-op. They've got some great camping equipment, too. I can't vouch for the Winnipeg store, not having been there, but I could spend hours in the Vancouver one, just looking. Check out the website at Outdoor Gear - Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) - quipement d'activits de grande nature. The mailorder's pretty good, too, or you could always have something delivered to your local store for even less in shipping. Probably even a canoe. Or some tights. :)

    Trying to impress the neighbors? (The ones previously discussed) Sounds dangerous.

    It's ok, but the Cabela's on Ellice is *much* nicer.

    Good point. Just hanging out skimpy briefs gave them an all day heat-on. Skimpy tights would probably send them completely off the rails

    Speaking of which, so much for *this* thread. I wonder if Tom realized I'd inevitably derail his thread with something *completely* unrelated?
