Champagne Dudes

That right there, my friends, is a cowboy made out of a champagne cork. Inspired by a contest my mom is a big fan of where people make chairs out of champagne corks, I decided at dinner the other night to make a cowboy dude out of our champagne cork. He was also accompanied by a second creation of mine which was far less successful. I think by that time the champagne itself had actually taken effect, and so the second creation had little to no resemblance to anything. In light of that, I've chosen to only highlight what I consider to be my cork de resistance.

We were celebrating two moments that night - my roommate, an accomplished scholar on insurgencies and counterinsurgencies, will soon be pursuing his PhD at Kings College of London, and as previously mentioned, Tiger and I will be moving to Denver.
