saber tooth sword

did you know that napolean's cavalry men were big champagne drinkers? apparently they developed the very dramatic way of slicing off the top of the bottles with their swords. kapow! it leaves a clean break in the glass, and provides some crazy entertainment for those who are watching. it's quite cool. trust me. i know. i had a personal demonstration yesterday while conor and i made brunch (who knew he could do party tricks, too? i'm totally the winner here).

hopefully c(m)at(t) won't chug from the bottle that we left in the fridge and slice open their lips. be careful my dear roommates!

so i think this gives me one more reason to acquire a samurai sword. i really want one (ever since watching kill bill, i feel like it's my destiny). if getting a sword means that conor can open our champagne with even more flair and at the same time i can use the sword to become a samurai, well heck, it's a necessity! hiiiiyah!
