Liquor Balance

There are more oddities to the Cirque du soleil story. First, my roommate, we'll call her R, has actually lived in an apartment complex with Cirque du soleil performers before. They actually lived right below her at one point. Apparently they would do acrobatic moves on the balcony, and it was actually a bit frightening. R was also invited to play poker with them on more than one occasion. Second, she was at the grocery store the other day, and one of the Cirque du soleil guys was in front of her at the check out. He was buying a mammoth bottle of Canadian Mist. Who knew that Cirque du soleil and Canadian whisky went together? The man also tried to pay with a Canadian nickel, and then explained the entire charade by saying that he was "with Cirque du soleil," and that they were based in Quebec. I think it is most likely that there is some sort of cosmic connection between R and Cirque du soleil. What else could it be, when she's lived in the same complex with them more than once, and also runs into them at the grocery store?

I visualized these pisskeyed canadian acrobats doing flips off balconies, parked volvos, mail boxes, etc. I smell sitcom.
