- Triple H - 05-09-2005 I received this as part of the package for a larger prize during an auction at my sons school. Now the question is...what do I do with it? any creative ideas out there? - Bucko - 05-09-2005 Launch a ship? - Kcwhippet - 05-09-2005 I don't have any good suggestions at all. - Thomas - 05-09-2005 Clear out the septic system. - TheEngineer - 05-09-2005 Trade it for a magnum of sherry? - winoweenie - 05-09-2005 One of my creative daughters made a lovely bulletin board for the kitchen with corks from my wine adventures. She simply glued them to a pice of plywood and finished the edges with some cute fabric. The notes are thumb-tacked on and help remind one of what we forgits!WW [This message has been edited by winoweenie (edited 05-09-2005).] - Drew - 05-10-2005 Glasses, Glasses Verne....Cooks not Corks. I like the ship suggestion but the wine would probably eat thru the hull [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img] DRew - winoweenie - 05-10-2005 How in thre blazes did they manage to get them out of the kitchen and into a magnum? An' how meeny did they squeeze in? WW - Kcwhippet - 05-10-2005 Huh? - Georgie - 05-10-2005 It's a little known variation of the see how many people will fit in a phone booth challenge. - Triple H - 05-10-2005 I should never have asked the question... - Kcwhippet - 05-10-2005 Oh no, keep asking. How else could you get such wonderful advice. Seriously, Cook's is so bad, we won't even carry it in our shop. - Drew - 05-10-2005 We're all having a little fun at your expense Triple H, no harm intended. Cooks is a very low quality domestic sparkling wine. The magnum (1.5L) retails for less than $10. Invite some friends and make Mimmosas. 6 ounces Brut Champagne 3 ounces fresh Orange Juice Chill orange juice and champagne and mix together in a chilled goblet to individual taste. Add ice if needed. Drew - Thomas - 05-10-2005 WARNING: you'll ruin the orange juice! - Triple H - 05-10-2005 So far I like Bucko's idea best. Except now I have to find a boat. - Kcwhippet - 05-10-2005 You're kidding, of course. There must be a million boats in the Seattle area. - Triple H - 05-10-2005 True, but sneaking up and smacking the bow with large format plonk may be a problem [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/eek.gif[/img] [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/eek.gif[/img] - Kcwhippet - 05-10-2005 Nah, just do it in the auto hold of one of the ferries, then say "Ooops." Someone in the crew will probably yell out "Clean up in aisle two" and you'll be done. |
