How to Flirt With a Handkerchief
The handkerchief, among lovers, is used in a different manner than its legitimate purpose. The most delicate hints can be given without danger of misunderstanding, and in “flirtations” it becomes a most useful instrument… The following rules are the law on the subject:
Drawing it across the lips Desiring an acquaintance
Drawing it across the cheek I love you
Drawing it across the forehead Look, we are watched
Drawing it through the hands I hate you
Dropping it We will be friends
Folding it I wish to speak with you
Letting it rest on the right cheek Yes
Letting it rest on the left cheek No
Letting it remain on the eyes You are so cruel
Opposite corners in both hands Do wait for me
Over the shoulder Follow me
Placing it over the right ear How you have changed
Putting it in the pocket No more love at present"
Daniel R. Shafer, Secrets of Life Unveiled (1877)

Oh what a day. We should go home. We’re drunk…”
Star Drunk is a short sci-fi action film that was both written and acted by a group of drunk people. It is a hilarious five minutes full of alcohol, word slurring and uncoordinated battles. This mashup of Star Trek, Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica was directed by Chris R. Wilson and Zach Persson. All of the booze consumed by cast and crew members was provided by the New Deal Distillery.
