Popping Champagne
Want to make drinking fun again? Pop champagne with a freakin' sword!
Just The Facts
- The sword method seperates the men from the boys, also sometimes the fingers from the hands.
- Make sure to slice away from any people, in many countries it's considered rude to kill your party guests.
- Swords and alcohol go together like guns and alcohol.
Popping a Champgane Cork With A Sword
You hardly ever see anyone pop champagne with a sword these days, mostly due to the shortage of swords. If we had swords we'd never use our hands for anything again! There are a few simple steps to impressing people with this method:
1. Get a bottle of champagne and a sword (or a large knife will do in a pinch). Any type of champagne will do because, trust us, when you start drunkenly waving a large, sharp object around people won't even glance at the bottle you're holding.
2. Hold the bottle tightly in your non-sword hand and vice versa.
3. (optional) Jump onto the table and scream "Hey, watch this!" This lets people know you're about to do something awesome and/or stupid. Either way they'll want to record it for later upload/lawsuits.
4. Place the sword blade side up against the near end of the bottle neck and slice towards the cork. If you do it right the cork end willl pop right off and people will scream in amazement. If you do it wrong something else may pop off but people will still scream.
5. When pouring, beware of getting any shards of glass in your champagne flute. On second thought, you just sliced open a champagn bottle with a sword! Eating glass shouldn't pose much of a problem for you.
