How do I open the champagne cold? My saber won't fit in the fridge.

"Don't do it warm unless you want to have an orgasmic spray," he said. "The colder the better"
I prefer it warm BECAUSE of the orgasmic spray. Is that so wrong???
hehehe, I'm leaving in 20 minutes to go to a champagne tasting. I'm gonna practice my sabering! WoooHoooo!

Here's to you Annie! CHEERS!

Will that work with a bottle if Diet Mtn. Dew?

Hey, casey! Have a wonderful new year! I just rescued my neighbor's ADHD (registered!) pug dog, who was loose (again). Now she's running amok in my house with my 2 maniacs. I'm sitting here waiting for the sound of broken glass....
2 things to remember -
1. champagne - cold
2. whip cream - body temperature
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 30, 2006 at 03:26 PM
3. lots of batteries
Posted by: Siouxie | December 30, 2006 at 03:28 PM
um..for the Christmas toys, of course. for kids. really.

oh and my dogs too.
Posted by: Siouxie | December 30, 2006 at 03:47 PM
Random observations...
-The people in the 3rd vid are watching Jeopardy but I can't read the question.
-I'm tired of this anti-American, French attitude of superiority. (Note subtle placement of frog in the 6th vid).
-The guy in the last vid looks like he's about to self-circumcize. Definitely NOT poifect.
-I must be the only dork who actually watched them all.
Posted by: stevie w | December 30, 2006 at 03:50 PM
OT - Omigosh, that dog! She's insane - running thru the house, over the sofa, thru chairs, into our scottie dog....since she's a pug, she'd then keel over and hyperventilate because her nose is too small, so I thought she was gonna flatline right there.
Siouxie, I'll pass on your generous, 'kind-hearted' offer.

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 30, 2006 at 03:53 PM
Nope, Stevie, I watched all of them, too. Looks fun but I don't think I'll try it. On second thought, I wonder if this would work on an Arrogant Bastard.
Posted by: ScottMGS | December 30, 2006 at 03:54 PM
After reading that I feel tingly all over.

Medical Advice:
In case of swallowing glass, eat asparagus.
Fibers will wrap around sharp edges & facilitate a smooth transition....
(I personally think they just tell you this to keep you distracted while your intestines are ripped to shreds. Still better than Barry Manilow)

Notice they're all guys? I wanna meet a chick who can open a potent potable like THIS.
Posted by: stevie w | December 30, 2006 at 04:06 PM
very funny Jazzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Posted by: Siouxie | December 30, 2006 at 04:07 PM
stevie - your potables are a bit too potent today - "The people in the 3rd vid are watching Jeopardy but I can't read the question."
you can't read the question or the answer?
regarding your Toohey's vid - I can do that, but only with the twist-off ones. The REALLY hard part is making mixed drinks.... ;)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 30, 2006 at 04:12 PM
Has anyone seen those Korbel commercials? I'm find them to be inexplicably mesmorizing.
Punkin-Is that a true fact? About the asparagus? Good to know.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | December 30, 2006 at 04:14 PM
stevie w.......do you have her name?
Posted by: Jazzzz | December 30, 2006 at 04:16 PM
"Orgasmic Spray" WBAGNF one of my college girlfriends.
Oops, did I type that out loud?
Posted by: WriterDude | December 30, 2006 at 04:17 PM
"I can do that, but only with the twist-off ones."
Oh reeeeeeeaaaaaaally, annie?
"The REALLY hard part is making mixed drinks.... ;)"
That's what you need a man around for.

AWBH.....shaken or stirred?
Posted by: Jazzzz | December 30, 2006 at 04:21 PM
Lisa, True fact! (Only suggested for tiny slivers. If you bite off a chunk, better get help) Also works for dogs who may have swallowed glass. (Cats don't eat the asparagus too good)
This has been a pubic service announcement.

It's all a blur, jazzzz, btu what keeps coming to mind is Orgasmic Spray.

Punkin, it s stevie and that hot video - im still woozy!
Posted by: Siouxie | December 30, 2006 at 04:42 PM
stevie - all I can say is, where the he!! are my batteries?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 30, 2006 at 04:44 PM
Annie, that is why I mentioned earlier, the need for batteries.
Posted by: Siouxie | December 30, 2006 at 04:47 PM
Lol, annie. just play me on a repeating loop and I'll go all night long for you.
Posted by: Stevie W | December 30, 2006 at 04:47 PM
Then you tube, uh, too, sxi! I missed your battery reference.
Posted by: Stevie W | December 30, 2006 at 04:48 PM
Siouxie - I know the only attractive guys in Miami are married or gay (or geeks), but HANG ON! I'm sending you a LUMBERJACK straight from the Maine woods!
('Course, he's blazing his own path down the appalachian trail, so you may just wanna get fresh batteries til he gets there)
Posted by: Punkin Poo | December 30, 2006 at 04:52 PM
wooohoooo a manly man! in one of those hot plaid shirts?? You ARE my BFF, Punkin!!
about the batteries...not to worry. Got plenty.

A brief break from cooking duties, to post this shot of ShyJan, Cousin Sue, and CJ. ShyJan [blonde] is in bug trouble because Sue has been on vacation, alone, for 4 days. That means Jan has been surfing too often and Sue about threw something at me when I pulled out the laptop. More later, when it's safe!
Posted by: CJrun | December 30, 2006 at 05:07 PM
CJ, I see you guys are making \\\"Pink Elephants\\\" (from the HUGE Pepto Bismol bottle in the corner).
1 part Pepto
6 parts vodka
you will be seeing those pink elephants after that.
GREAT picture! *waves to ShyJan & Cousin Sue*
Posted by: Siouxie | December 30, 2006 at 05:12 PM
In reference to the belly button bottle opener, some of us can do that well. That is why Mr. wxgurl asked me to marry him all those years ago! Of course, he can tie a cherry stem in a knot with his teeth.
Posted by: wxgurl | December 30, 2006 at 05:12 PM
*waves to ShyJan, CJ and Cousin Sue*
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | December 30, 2006 at 05:12 PM
Pass me a Pink Elephant! I have a long evening of weather watching at work ahead!
Posted by: wxgurl | December 30, 2006 at 05:14 PM
"he can tie a cherry stem in a knot with his teeth."
Oh, sure, but does he know anything about Japanese anime?
Posted by: Stevie W | December 30, 2006 at 05:15 PM
CJ, how is it that you keep finding yourself as the only man in the company of multiple female bloglits? Kudos, and drink up, all!
Posted by: KDF | December 30, 2006 at 05:17 PM
Not sure he knows much about the anime, but he does do windows!
Posted by: wxgurl | December 30, 2006 at 05:19 PM
wxgurl, I cant do the belly button/opener but I knot the stem.
Posted by: Siouxie | December 30, 2006 at 05:21 PM
*Mixes up Pink Elephants for all*
Posted by: Siouxie | December 30, 2006 at 05:25 PM
I figure we must all have one talent or another, mine just all involve my drinking days of college!
Posted by: wxgurl | December 30, 2006 at 05:27 PM
I would love to try the champagne opening trick, but my family doesn't trust me with sharp objects anymore...
Posted by: wxgurl | December 30, 2006 at 05:28 PM
*sigh* i dedicated a greater part of my 20's to trying to tie a cherry stem. i never managed it. probably why i'm still single.
Posted by: crossgirl | December 30, 2006 at 05:33 PM
wxgurl - square knot or slipknot?
(If it's a double-loop bowline, I may have known him years ago.)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 30, 2006 at 05:34 PM
I KNEW I shoulda gone on to Eagle scout.
Posted by: Stevie W | December 30, 2006 at 05:35 PM
crossgirl: try the bottle opening trick instead!
Annie, just a simple square knot, I didn't set my sights too high on that one!
Stevie: he never made it to Eagle scout...just had a lot of free time on his hands!
Posted by: wxgurl | December 30, 2006 at 05:43 PM
Thanks for the pink elephants Siouxie...May I have another!
Posted by: wxgurl | December 30, 2006 at 05:43 PM
Forget scouting. it just takes practice.
Posted by: Siouxie | December 30, 2006 at 05:45 PM
OK just saw the shoes, and the comments on the shoes, and I've decided to get Mr. Wxgurl a pair of those for our anniversary...Now he can do more than just windows!
Posted by: wxgurl | December 30, 2006 at 05:53 PM
*mixes up another batch of Pink Elephants*
Cherry on top??
Posted by: Siouxie | December 30, 2006 at 05:55 PM
Perfect practice makes perfect. I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the good of the blog. Just the kind of guy I am.
Posted by: Jazzzz | December 30, 2006 at 06:04 PM
You go Jazzzz....We're rooting for ya!
Posted by: wxgurl | December 30, 2006 at 06:07 PM
Wow! That reminds me of the time that Dave, Michelle, Beth, Jeff, and I were smuggling gelding chipmunks out of Des Moines in an RV when all of a sudden...*looks at "Over 25 hours without pissing off Dave's wife" sign*
Never mind.

*posts 'snork' @ c-bol sign*
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | December 30, 2006 at 06:30 PM
Here's a question. If you could find a way to put a mentos in a bottle of champaigne, would that become a WMD? Would you have automatic membership on the UN Security Council?
Posted by: Christobol | December 30, 2006 at 06:39 PM
Here's another question. Why do I always want to throw an extraneous "i" in the word champagne? As if the silent "g" isn't enough?
Posted by: Christobol | December 30, 2006 at 06:41 PM
C-bol You mean like the mento would become a projectile? mebbe so(credit to OtU)
On a similar thought...One thing I know for sure is you should never, EVER just pop one of those Airborne(tm) cold-prevention tabs into your mouth before reading the instructions on the package.
just sayin'
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | December 30, 2006 at 06:48 PM
I was thinking, if you invert the bottle, you could use the propulsion to send an average yak to the moon. Which, if I'm not mistaken, is the minimum requirements for a WMD. Or maybe that's a WYM. Either way, I think you should get free soup for life.
Posted by: Christobol | December 30, 2006 at 06:53 PM
Lisa - is there a good science fair project story involved with the Airborne (tm)?
Posted by: wxgurl | December 30, 2006 at 06:54 PM
c-bol - a silent 'g' is never enough. A loud 'o'...now you're talkin'.
On your way outta Des Moines, you were headed for Champaign, Illinois to start your own gelded chipmunk pictorial a la the famous French artiste. Unfortunately, you were baroque.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 30, 2006 at 06:54 PM
OMG Christobol - I snorked so hard, Champagne came out my nose!
Posted by: wxgurl | December 30, 2006 at 06:55 PM
wxgurl-ah, yeah that's right...it was a science fair project. uh huh.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | December 30, 2006 at 06:57 PM
omg - Urbana just came out my nose!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 30, 2006 at 07:00 PM
annie-that sounds painful
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | December 30, 2006 at 07:05 PM
it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't tied in a slipknot.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 30, 2006 at 07:06 PM
OT Booger Meet-up Update
We feasted on shrimp, crab claws, and asparagus with sesame seeds sprinkled over it [very good!]. The crab claws weren't because we couldn't afford the more expensive crab breast meat; heah abouts, we has large crab claws. ShyJan's cousin Sue didn't always know when I was messing with her. During this story, all I had to do was ask her "Just how big was that bee swarm? and she would do this.
Full bellies and sunset. And now, to wander off and see what you folks did today.
Posted by: CJrun | December 30, 2006 at 07:46 PM
So iffin' I get the crabs, they have claws? Man, that'l keep you honest.
Posted by: Jazzzz | December 30, 2006 at 08:04 PM
Ooooooh HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
AnnieAnnieAnnie!!!
I have a cousin who lives there ... I wuz thinkin' it, but you posted it!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Many *snorks* to all, whereas Annie just made me giggle all the way into the kitchen with 'twist-off only.'

thanks CJ. Please note that if you want to attempt the non-twist-off type, or even the pull-tab type, your belly button must be an outie.

Happy New Year to all and when I get back I want to see a totally burned out Bocken. (Blurk -- are you listening???) That's all I want for the New Year. Oh, and maybe hit a jackpot on the booze/gambling boat out of St. Pete.
Best wishes to all for a fabulous 2007.

Posted by: PirateBoy | December 30, 2006 at 08:50 PM
Why not slip a few Mentos into the drain on the soda machine at the local eatery? Every time someone overfills, it'll foam up like Bush with a multi-syllable verb.
