Georgia Straight Watch

Our regular Georgia Straight watch feature is back! This week we give the best, er, and, worst of Vancouver's supposed alt-weekly.

5. Let's talk about the city single of the week. No longer sponsored by the embarassing Ginch Gonch, this feature is now powered by the G&F Financial Group. Nothing says sexy singles like a financial company right? And Micheal this week? Wow, ladies, this is a real catch. He's 41 and 1/2. What are you 7? He would have dinner with Lance Armstrong, Chip Foose, Shania Twain and Sandra Bullock if he could and thinks everyone should watch Pirates of the Caribbean. Yep a real catch. Can't believe he's still single actually.

4. Give me a break. Marc Mital, a Roxy bartender thinks a little too much of his bar tricked out "Steath Bomb":

“It’s presented in a domino drop shot. You take one ounce of Stealth vodka in a one-ounce jigger glass and then, in a tall 14-ounce Collins glass, put Red Bull, soda water, and a splash of cranberry. We set up all the Collins glasses in a straight line, and then the shooters sit on the two rims of the glasses. Say you’ve got 10 in a row—when you hit the one at the end, it hits the next one and the next one and they all fall like dominos into the glasses. It looks really, really cool—every time you do it, people end up clapping.”

3. Okay, this is good. On February 27th $12 bucks will get you a ticket to Douglas Coupland and Chuck Palahniuk at UBC. For tickets call 604-822-2678.

2. I'm not sure I've ever read the payback time area. But follow along if you can. Guy writes in and tells writer Lucas Aykroyd he, "can’t write a good review." Aykroyd responds by googling the guy, finding out he's a 16 drummer, then mocking him and his music. "Speaking of opinions, Sevendust is seven times the band yours is—all you are is dust in the wind. Yep, there’s my opinion of your mockable missive. Are you feeling it?" Obviously we're torn. We like the snark, but it's kind of like shooting fish in a barrel.

1. Lastly, the article about the newish lingerie store, Scarlet on Granville. Don't care about the article actually, but is the model described as, "Jenny from Richard’s International Model Management" (photo by Fiona Garden) actually the infamous Jennifer Good? Well at least infamous in the sense that other more smutty blogs like "Drunken Stepfather" are begining to take notice of her, ahem, assets.

If it's not it's her lingerie modeling twin. Which is totally cool too. Jenny is that you?
