#16  Why, thank you, tw - I love strawberries, and they go so well with the bubbly.

The cork is great (it's not actually made of cork, but is metal with a neoprene-like covering for the bottle opening) - it's hinged so it hooks under the "ring" or "lip" just below the bottle opening, which is what keeps it on the bottle under pressure. I got mine from a catalog years ago, but I've since seen them in places like Bed, Bath & Beyond and Total Wine.

#14  When the quagmire meets the anti-quagmire, what do you get? An NPR transmitter melting down? Or maybe Harry Reid's head asplodes.

#13  Yeah, Frank, I saw that. Anti-quamire, though, reveals powers I choose not to reveal. Expect a black helicopter overhead shortly.

#12  Have some strawberries to go with that, Barbara. Presumably they were picked before the illegals went home for the holidays. ;-) Where did you get that champagne cork?

#9  I'm converting to Mormonism just so I can marry Seafarious. Wife number two, of course.

#8  I've got a bottle of good champagne chilling in the fridge for New Year's - AND I've got a good champagne bottle cork (works great for keeping in the fizz without blowing off the cork in the fridge in the middle of the night).

Think I'll drink a celebratory glass tonight - to commemorate the bastards' sudden, well-deserved descent into HELL in memory of the dead, of course.

#7  But y'all can commemorate that grim milestone a bit early if you wish.

#6  Tea all around! (Those who wish will find the hard stuff on the sideboard, as usual, with the appropriate small and large glasses. Y'all needn't pour it into teacups.) Trailing daughter #1 will bring out the chocolate-dipped biscuits in a moment.

#4  It's a grim milestone, Chuck./

Let's celebrate! :-D

#1  Lessee...Iranian Special Forces per Bill Roggio or Mahdi Army "splinter group" per Associated Press?

We report, you decide.
