A funny site about 1000 ways opening a beer (bottle) without a 'correct' opener.

http://stuff.twoday.net/

Below I give the version using a China (soup) bowl:

It's a German site and the English translation link only uses machine translation. But the pix are
clear enough to see

Personally I've seen a friend of mine opening a beer bottle only with his teeth, knife or spoon.

Did you create this thread just for me? Fascinating site, thanks for sharing. I actually have a
bottle opener belt buckle. It's a great conversation piece.

Gotta love U.S. domestic beers; they're twist-offs.

Yeah, someone mentioned it too, but there is not yet pix for that method in the 'Gästebeiträge'
(suggestions from guests) there.

To open using chopsticks:

Interesting website. So is it true that anything hard enough with a brim can be used to open
beers? I just saw people open beers with their eye sockets in movies, could be a little dramatic
to me though......

They even succeeded using newspaper which was folded hard enough.

Undrinkable? Hmmmmm, surely there are more prosaic ways of description .......

American beer is like making love in a canoe.
It's f*ckin' close to water.

Why is American beer served cold? So you can tell it from urine.

Beer: Helping ugly people have sex since 1862!

Everyone needs to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.

I swear to drunk I'm not God!

I killed a six-pack just to watch it die.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy. -Tom Waits

If you like my Bushes, you'll love my Mountains (On the front of a T-Shirt with bush beer)

Many people die of thirst - but the Irish are born with one.

One more and I'll be under the host - Dorothy Parker

Remember I before E, except in Budweiser.

Some people have six pack abdomens. I have a keg.

The best days to drink beer are days that end in the letter "Y".

There's too much blood in my alcohol system

To be intoxicated is to feel sophisticated but not be able to say it.

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. - Henny Youngman

You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on. - Dean Martin

BTW, whoever said "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy" first, it
certainly wasn't Tom Waits.

He said it during an scripted interview on May 25, 1978. I first came across the expression in the
sleeve notes of "New Boots and Panties" by Ian Dury which was released the previous year.

The expression has been attributed to Dorothy Parker and W.C. Fields, among others.
