An Architectural Flourish

Restaurants, bars, and the dining room table dishware on Thanksgiving all provide excellent building blocks for constructing towers.  They've got coasters, straws, chopsticks, cups, napkins, utensils, etc that lend themselves perfectly to creating magical structures that display great feats of gravity, balance, and symmetry.  This is what I do to keep my hands busy at food and drink functions.
