So would YOU drink this from a can?
 

I have the same Rabbit, but the instructions say to avoid the fake corks or risk damage to the screw mechanism. For the fake corks I use the Henckles.

Bonny Doon is among the wineries putting more than half of their inventory in screw caps.

Am I the only person who waited tables long enough, or drank enough, to find the standard waiters screwpull simple and easy to use?

Yes. Those things are crap. The most likely to bust a cork or give you floaties.

I find it simple as well. That is because we are superior beings.

I was handing out condoms. I even tested a few of them to makesure they worked. You can ask the teenage runaways.

No device is idiot-proof.

You worked in the service industry? Hah! You're like Brendan Frasier in "School Ties" -- prole!

Nope. I much prefer a good waiters' screwpull to anything else (especially the rabbit deals). The bar-mounted lever deals are nice, but kind of hard to carry in your pocket.

I've got no problem with the new screwtops. I also like that some mid-level Australian and S. American producers (think $5-10 per bottle) are producing 3-liter wine boxes. Decent table wine (not the crap that Bob Packwood drank while harassing his female staff), and you can drink a glass a night if you want without the wine going bad.

Too, too easy.

I'll go with Penthouse Pet and adult film star Hannah Harper. It's the accent that does it for me. Well that, and the great tits.

Huh? Go ahead and swing for the fences, then. You may have to spell it out for me. W-A-...

This is actually a current issue for me. Historically, I really haven't had a problem with wine being left in a bottle. However, Mrs. Ramone has recently come down with a bad case of pregnancy, and she is not expected to recover any time soon. So, unless I want to turn into an even bigger drunk than I already am, I risk wasting a lot of wine when I open a bottle (although, at the risk of beating on a long-dead horse, Mrs. Ramone is enjoying the occasional glass of wine; my drinking is far from occasional).

I'm thinking this is kind of a raw deal
 

Calif. Lesbian Mom Has No Parental Rights

SAN FRANCISCO - A woman has no parental rights over the twins she was raising with her lesbian partner — even though she is the children's genetic mother, an appeals court ruled.

Upholding a lower court ruling, the 1st District Court of Appeal decided only the woman's partner — who gave birth to the twins after artificial insemination with eggs provided by her lover — has full parental rights.


The court said though the genetic mother was a loving, at-home parent, "functioning as a parent does not bestow legal status as a parent."


"An adoption decree would provide objective, formalized proof of the parties' parentage intentions," the court said.


The case is expected to be appealed to the California Supreme Court, but underscores that laws dealing with parental rights for gay or lesbian couples are largely unmapped territory.


The woman suing for parental rights — identified in court papers as K.M. — never sought to adopt the now-8-year-old twins, who live with their birth mother in Massachusetts. Her attorney, Jill Hersh, said her client "didn't adopt because she was the biological mother. She didn't think she had to.


"The legal system hasn't caught up with the modern-day facts of this case," Hersch said.


Diana Richmond, the attorney for the birth mother, praised the decision, saying it "beautifully upholds the freedom of choice of same-sex partners on whether both partners will or will not be the parents."


She said the women "had agreed that only one of them will be the parent."


"They never agreed to an adoption and no adoption proceedings were initiated," Richmond said.


Shannon Minter, an attorney for the National Center for Lesbian Rights, said if the genetic mother was a man, she would have been awarded rights to the children, pointing to a 2002 California Supreme Court decision granting a non-biological father rights to a child he helped rear.


"These children are going to be just as hurt as anybody else would by losing a parent," Minter said. "Regardless of being married or not, if K.M. was a man, she would have been automatically, without question, a legal parent."
