Get a pen. Push the cork down into the bottle. It's a tad declasse, but it works in a pinch.

And, for the record, I feel bad about participating in the steve threads. But not /that/ bad because they really were so, so funny.

Dude, can’t you just push the cork in?

Sorryeverybody is quite lovely. It’s sweet of them all to try. I just don’t want them to feel they have to. Has any other election ever provoked such a response?

Bed Head

Ooh, no, don’t use a pen. Use your fingers. It’s a delicate job that requires sensitivity. It may help to wear a blindfold, and let yourself feel. You have to probe the cork’s weak spots, you have to detect the flaws in its structure.

Just smash the damn bottleneck against the table top! Sheesh!

Unfortunately, the only decent bottle among them has a synthetic cork, and as such is resistant to pushy antics. Kegger's plan has merit, but I fear my coworkers might look askance. Instead, I propose... to wait the fuckers out. Glass has to decay at some point...

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

yoyoyyoyoyo!

That's right people.

PS. BH, I will reply to your message proper soon enough (it is big!) - OH YES - because I LOVE IT. But I have to say. I am not teh emo! Really. I battle against this. I'm cooler than that, aren't I?

I hate synthetic corks. They’re clearly the invention of a shadowy cabal of evil corkscrew manufacturers. Who probably donate money to the Republican Party.

Do you have a drill in the house, Tann?

And Suedey - hurrah!

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

01:17 / 11.11.04

PPS. I cried a little. Maybe I am emo!

I dunno. I'm a little drunk, but I'm happy for a change. I feel good, and I feel like I want to ask a bar maid out. Even though I know it will be a mistake. Why not, eh?

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

01:19 / 11.11.04

Fuck yeah hurrah BH! You worry about nothing, you crazy goon.

We had some kind of weird cork screw in the house once, but I can't find it now. I take this as permission to drink all the wine through principle.

Totally lost in this conversation as I have spent the past 15 minutes bouncing on my big yellow exercise ball with my little guy.

YAY! Bouncy balls are funtastic!

Sometimes I suspect that Due South lied to us about the Canadian way of life.

Saint Keggers

01:24 / 11.11.04

Actually it was creppily acurate. except we drink more

I think if you just get up on your desk right now, Haus, and scream, like you mean it " Expense account wine par-tay right now, muthafuckers ! " then before you know it, the office'll be very much like one of those Bacadi Breezer ads.

Saint Keggers

Damn, I want garlic bread.

Papess

drink more...and BOUNCE more! Keggers, save some magic pizza rock for me, please. I need it to feed the meese grazing 'bout my igloo.

Wait.....I think I hear something. I think, I think, I think I can hear Sting's career calling from the beyond!

Wow, I am a medium.

Imagine, all this time I thought I was just below average.

Saint Keggers

01:47 / 11.11.04

my pizza rock should be cooked on medium!

Bed Head

01:50 / 11.11.04

Oooh, ooh. I have garlic bread! And I don’t even want it right now. It’s just sitting there, waiting for me to want it.

I’d happily share, but I feel pretty sure my throwing arm isn’t up to it.

Saint Keggers

01:52 / 11.11.04

the thought is appreciated.

Papess

Have magic pizza rock on head and the cheese is dripping into my eyes, burning them. Now I am the "lucky lucky wounded by a pizza rock".

Life doesn't get any better than this. At least not in Canada. Now, I am the envy of two nations!

Re your I Have No Corkscrew But I Must Drink dilemma, Tann - this is why I always carry a Swiss Army Knife, or cheap knockoff thereof.

For the first time in two weeks, I have some work tomorrow. Unfortunately, I've got into the habit of waking in the early afternoon and going to bed at about dawn. In an attempt to break this cycle, I went to bed tonight at 1.30. Result? 2 1/2 hours of tossing and turning next to the most contentedly sleeping man in history, and little niggles stampeding through my head like miniature buffalo.

Which is why I am here. Worst thing is, I have two corkscrews, but no wine.
