Box Sake / N.'s Eyebrow
Posted by erin at May 2, 2004 11:06 PMThose of you unfamiliar with the finer points of low-brow American culture may not be familiar with box wine. Box wine is wine on the cheap. It comes in a silver bag inside of a cardboard box, which you put in the fridge and access via a plastic spigot thing. One of my friend's parent's in high school often had box wine in the fridge - at one infamous party an univited guest took the silver bag out of the box and went around offering people "space wine."
Today I went to the Cherry Blossom festival in the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Most of you were there, so I don't feel a need to write at great length about the expirience, but suffice to say, they were serving box sake, and I did not drink any of it.
Perhaps more importantly, on Saturday N. had a nightmare. "One of my eyebrows fell off," quoth he. "It kind of rolled away, and I lost it." He shuddered with terror.

did you put on a leash? i hear that's the best way of making sure your eyebrow doesn't run away. also, maybe if you stopped beating it with your forehead.

This (N.'s eyebrow terror) reminds me of when The Tick lost his antennae (in the cartoon). This makes me laugh, because I am a jerk.

That's interesting, because when I woke up I was actually reminded of another episode of the Tick - the one where the mustache is on the loose.
