I’d think that a beer bottle opener would be more appropriate for Homer… but I imagine that he drinks wine as well. I actually had a talking Homer bottle opener, but this is what I stumbled on today, so this is what you get. At least it’s not something boring like barcode scanners . Speaking of barcode scanners, I found myself wondering just how those things work while sitting in the line at the grocery store. I found a nifty link about them here, but my attention span is too short to actually read it right now.

What is it with old men and building unnecessarily complicated machines to accomplish everyday tasks? What we have here is a machine that turns opening a wine bottle into an event unto itself.

As if I needed an excuse to open just one more bottle…

If that guy in those Christian books had wine running through his veins, then they shouldn’t mind me showing up all wine-veined on Sunday morning. Hey, I’m just trying to keep up with the Christs.

A Dizzying Selection Of Wines!

This is one seriously well stocked wine cellar. What makes it interesting? It’s actually located under someone’s kitchen floor. That, and I’m a sucker for alcoholic beverages. I’m also a sucker of alcoholic beverages. This kitchen is like crouching Riesling, hidden Zinfandel, because there’s enough wine there to kick anyone’s ass and make them feel all floaty.

Four more pics and an explanation of the technical side of this $30,000 wine cellar at the source:
