timouse Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 deb, you need a screwdriver and a small hammer. knock the cork in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Make sure that one thing doesn't lead to another I usually like it when one thing leads to another, but I don't get what you're implying. Do I not get it because I'm not drunk yet? (go ahead, rub it in!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questcequecest? Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 he's kinda right. have a few screwdrivers and forget the wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rawk Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 a screw in the cork and a pair of pliers works, if it isn't a sh!tty cork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Cork? I figured you to be a Kressman, L'Ambiance screw-top kind of wine gal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 [color:"purple"]based on what dick-wad? you wanna play rough, put on the gloves!!! play nice Dave -- i met you like once a bajillion years ago -- and I doubt I was drinking Kressman. Baby Duck, maybe, Kressman, never! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Dave Waddell's dad always provided the Kressman wine for holiday family dinners... and he's a freakin' millionare. Cheap man! " dick-wad " is a little harsh. How many glasses of Adelweiss have you downed? Oh yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Damned if I remember where the corkscrew is - I think wine was the second thing I was drinking last time around. Sorry! Hope the screwdriver and hammer thing worked out. There's also some method of wrapping a towel around the bottle and whamming the end against the wall repeatedly, but I don't think I'd trust myself with that one.

timouse Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 [color:"purple"]okay, maybe you guys should be drinking screw-top wine. even better, Box of Wine (With Free Pool Toy!) this talk of smashing bottles and then drinking their contents makes me nervous. i can see this all ending badly.and jaimoe, you know dave waddell? this is a seriously small world...

Paan Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hey... three of my favourite things... baths, red wine, and naked women... I second the screw and plyers thing... I was in at a hotel once without a corkscrew... we took a screw from the wall and had some plyers, and that worked fine. Don't have too much to drink, and accidently rince yourself with the wine and sip the bath water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokonon Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 definitely put a screw in to the cork and pull it out with pliers, pushing it in is a pain in the ass and the other thing sounds dangerous. hey, why don't you bring that bottle over here and i'll show you how to do it!

\/\/illy Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I second the screw and plyers thing... I was in at a hotel once without a corkscrew... we took a screw from the wall and had some plyers, and that worked fine. Let's be entirely clear about a couple of things here. First of all, I was there so I know what went down. "We" didn't do anything. "We" stood around like a bunch of morons until your genius wife calmly removed a picture from a wall, then the screw that it was hanging on, then used a dime to screw it into the cork. What a fantastic woman. You're just lucky that you married her before I could. One more thing: We didn't have pliers, we used a bent coat hanger to wrap around the head of the screw and then pulled like crazy. Damn, that was a great bottle of wine.

bradm Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 paan, you're married to mcgyver! Not quite. MacGyver would have just pulled out his Swiss Army knife and used the corkscrew attached to it. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the same dilemma when our fancy shmancy easy cork screw thing broke. We were stuck with some cheap 30 cent thing which didn't work and then I remembered my brother had one of these (pictured below) in his car that I left in Montreal when we went to the Slip. The story ends well, we got drunk. The moral of the story is have at least 3 different types of corkscrew technologies on hand at all times.
