Houstonist Bartender: Gimme Some Paper & I'll Open Your Brew

Rainy days suck. They suck the life right out of Houstonist when it comes to mixing drinks. Who is motivated to mix drinks when all you want to do is nap and watch movies? When the rain comes we reach for the suds; they're relatively no fuss. We tend to drink beer on the back porch, throw the empties into the yard and watch them float all the way to the fence.

Unfortunately, we had become sufficiently bored with that since it has been raining for weeks now. That is we were bored until we started trying to open our bottles, twist-offs included, with a sheet of paper.

Lifehacker.com, fellow inhabitant of the blogiverse, found a gem on YouTube in which an idiot savant of origami demonstrates the proper technique for popping open your brews using only some 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper and some brain power. It would be criminal for us not to share this with you.

Grab a TPS Report, watch this movie and crack open a beer.

Didn't work the first time? Don't worry. It'll probably be raining for a few more weeks, which means you'll have lots of time to practice.

Have a drink we should spread to the masses? Send it along [jason at houstonist dot com], and we just may post it after some extensive testing.

Don't be a dumbass. Drink responsibly or take a cab.
