I might be slow, but I eventually figure out what everybody else already knew: the paint can opener that I get free with every can of Behr paint at Home depot doubles as a bottle opener. Oof. What else have I been missing?
Home Depot really wants me to drink bottled beer while I'm painting

About 10 years ago I was at home watching PBS Saturday morning cooking shows, specifically Jacques Pepin Fast Food My Way.
He opened up a crown cap bottle with a spoon, simple lever. Kinda blew my mind, so I immediately started trying it out.
Ever since then I've found I can open any crown cap with flatware, wrenches, screwdrivers and especially BIC lighters!

I did learn to do that with a lighter in Mexico 10 yrs ago. Very handy. Don’t smoke anymore though.
[edit] maybe longer than 10 yrs. where did the time go?

My cousin showed me that when I was newly 21 and frantically looking for a bottle opener for my beer. I do it all the time now, if of course I don’t have my keychain bottle opener. People tend to be amazed at simple mechanics. Good party trickAbout 10 years ago I was at home watching PBS Saturday morning cooking shows, specifically Jacques Pepin Fast Food My Way.

Bottom line, any 90° corner will suffice - even if it leaves a gouge
Add to the can opener the beer items available. Even homebrewing.

Bottle Roulette: use one bottle to open another. Usually works out...

Unsure about mixing use of a nail gun with beer...
Next up. Ladders with beer warning stickers on the ladder.

Lmao! Who would ever think Home Depot would cater so well to beer
Perhaps, just perhaps, HD will become our LHBS. Santa, I've been good...
We should all email HD as HD promotes themselves as DIY. Well, we're surly DIY and whom knows, if HD gets enough requests...
There's a place of sight and sound, somewhere over the horizon, neither night or day, but with full bags of malt. The next stop HD.

Solid Rod Serling. Nice.

Don't make me do it! Haha, I'm a massive fan, and I can quote verbatim a lot of the opening monologue of Rod's. I used to get the Twilight Zone Magazine, it had scripts, and my brother and I used to enact each one when we got the mag. Haha.
(have you guys checked out Black Mirror on Netflix? No Rod, but wow some awesome episodes, and every bit as good as Twilight Zone or Night Gallery).
"Welcome to a private showing of 3 paintings..."
I miss Night Gallery, but haven't seen it since its original run. I heard it pops up in syndication on some of the oldies TV networks once in a while, like MeTV.

If you’re of a certain age you might remember a program which began with a bald, rotund, gentleman solemnly intoning “Goood eve-a-ning…”

Anyone checking out Black Mirror, I HIGHLY recommend watching the episone USS Callister first. Boom. If you don't like that, the show is not for you.

Man, you're old. AH Presents. I also remember the radio shows (EG Marshall, et al.). My ADHD doesn't allow me to watch a lot of TV, but I've seen enough.

Haha, remember when the broadcast day actually ended with the national anthem, then a test pattern and and awful tone, and then snow? haha, that would wake me up.

I always get strange looks when I tell people that we should take the warning labels off everything and just let natural selection and survival of the fittest run its course.
I remember listening to The Shadow/Lamont Cranston radio show while my dad drove us up north to go skiing, though tbh I usually fell asleep by the time the first episode ended...

check, check, check, check plus chef's knife which is my favorite way and most dangerous-ish.

HD is now also selling large conical fermenters. I didn't know. I'm not sure how beer fermenters fit with HD but they've been selling turkey fryers and that became usual.

The nostalgia is suddenly high in the thread...
oh the days when AM radio and those 3, maybe 4 channels you could get on the telly actually had something interesting to consume...
also when AM radios in cars could pick up Guam. <sigh>
My AM radio just picks up pork.
Crackling.
