Actually, around here drink is popular, but usually within the comfort of 
ones' own home.

Well, more than a couple.  There are pictures of Saddam and Rumsfeld 
shaking hands....

It's a very nice sharp pointy thing - but not something that we want to, 
um, *stain* if we can avoid it - it is something of an antique.  WWII 
Japanese NCO Saber. :-)

A serious Toasting Iron and all I've got is a Swiss Army knife with an inch and
a half blade. It also has a nail file and a pair of scissors so I can give a
vicious manicure :)
Have at you!

I bet Gail has one too or Ken, do
