Ten dollars from thinkgeek, as opposed to fifteen from bottlebuddy? That settles it. I'm buying a dozen of them for my freakish hands.

Oh Lew, have I told you recently how evil you are?
(I'm assuming you're kidding, and if not, la la la la la I'm not listening la la la... :-).
No, tell me, tell me!
I'm kidding, I'm KIDDING! Yeesh, the very thought...
No. And I don't want to.
If I need a bottle opener to make me look cool, I'm so far beyond redemption that a bottle opener is going to be the least of my wories.
See above.
I'm sorry. It must be a sad, sad little life you lead. But, hey, everyone needs a little something to make them not want to slash their wrists every morning. If a bottle opener does that for you, more power to ya.
It is. Commericial advertisements that are not clearly marked as such tend to get in the way of the conversation.
If you do want to advertise, and do it properly, proper Usenet convention is to preface your subject line with ADV: . So, if you had gone with ADV: Save yer teeth!, you'd at least be avoiding the spammer comments. I make no guarantees about comments for a silly product.

I agree. Big and brass is cool. A brewer friend of mine gave me one of his taps from his brewpub when I moved away...and he added on an opener on the bottom end.
Coolest opener I had...until the Bottle Buddy, of course.
:)
That's fifteen Canadian from
Fair enough.
Lol. Fair enough.

Yikes. Can you say 'needs more Dr. Phil!'
Thanks for the input Steve. Speaking of philosophical discussions:
ADV: Everything on the web is an Advert. You're all selling something!
In this case, it's opinion.

Self-justifying bullshit is what you're peddling. If you can't get the idea of putting ADV: before a purely commercial message, Go Home.
I was kidding here. I wouldn't buy one of those things and if one were given to me, I wouldn't wear it.
I'm happy with my church key.

TMFI. HTH. HAND.
I've had one on my key ring for the better part of a decade. a bottle opener that is, not one of your pieces of crap!
For one substitute church key? Good grief, I can get a combo unit with a bottle opener, built-in corkscrew and a can opener for under $5.00
Garden variety church keys can be had for under a buck or if you are lucky for free at the liquor store. I'll keep using my old Asahi key with more years on it than I can count.
Sorry Lew. Next time I'll put it in my sig, as per 'your opinion' circa '99:
Lew Bryson Freelance writer and fulltime father. My opinions are my own: the good ones I sell. Author of Pennsylvania Breweries, now available at
Like I said: we're all selling something...
How'd they ever get to be known as Church keys, one wonders.
Could be worse... Could be a guiche.

I use to have one that was shaped like an old fashion key. Maybe they were used to open bottles.

To sell = to provide goods or services in exchange for money.
Last I checked, I'm not getting one cent for my opinions here, nor am I expecting it.
I'm not selling anything. You are. That's why your post needed and ADV: and mine don't. As soon as I start asking for money, I'll do the same.

Hey, assbrain: note the words "purely commercial message." If you just want to be willfully ignorant, that's your lookout. Don't expect the rest of us to cooperate.
BTW, I've got a new edition of PA Breweries coming out next week...but it doesn't fit on your finger, and it won't open bottles.
