I'd be really impressed if you found a way to use the 968 to open a twist-top or a typical can. Get to work sir!

As for me, I've been secretly training my cat to go to our fridge, get a beer, open it and bring it to me... So far, I have been incredibly unsuccessful. But I have been to the fridge many times - I feel it is necessary to train my cat visually and to show him, first off, where the beer is located. Then, of course, I must show him how to open said beer. At that point, it's wasteful not to drink it and he has not acquired a taste for beer... yet... Will work on the transport of the open bottle to my locale next.

BTW- this is what I tell my wife. Luckily, my cat cannot speak so he cannot refute my claims. Perfect partner in crime.

Rock solid plan, baby!

hahaha ive been putting off training my dog for quite some time. i think this is the catalyst to start. he could get the beer out of the fridge in the garage and bring it to me while im under the car where i can easily access the control arms. but lord help him if he forgets the lime/salt or other drinking acoutrements. first step is some kind of tassle on the fridge door...

I think if your dog forgets the lime/salt/etc., you need to rub his nose in some you-know-what.... That sort of oversight just can't be tolerated when you have work to do and are counting on your sidekick to come through.

Thanks for the heads-up on the cat-aholics. I have noticed that the supply in my fridge dwindles on a regular basis. Perhaps he is actually fully trained and smarter than I... drinking my beer while I slave away mowing the lawn or doing some other mundane task.

Now if only I could clean myself like a ca... wait, did I just cross the line?!

aaaaand 9 posts til someone mentioned catnipinis. i believe thats a new record. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif[/img]

and thats why i don't have cats. my beer supply is consumed by yours truly. and besides, my emotionally shallow animal wouldn't dare do a thing without my express permission. thats why dogs are better, there's no confusion about who's in charge. now of course he'll mess in the house or eat my shoes if hes angry with me. but other than that, im the boss! that reminds me ive got to feed him and give him his meds and if i don't massage his hind legs (hes got some arthritis) just right, he'll be angered. ahh its good to be the master of the house... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

i also despise drunk cats, always have. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif[/img]

but i believe we are all OT so i'll bring it back with a new discovery. castor blocks are ideal for popping tops as well. i opened my box of new blocks from sunset in the kitchen... the rest was history.

"I think if your dog forgets the lime/salt/etc., you need to rub his nose in some you-know-what.... That sort of oversight just can't be tolerated when you have work to do and are counting on your sidekick to come through."

couldn't agree more. thats why i know he likes wet and dry food mixed 60/40. we take care of each other like that. ...because if i didn't there'd be you-know-what everywhere and only me to blame.

Yeah, drunk cats can be vicious... But an angry dog and new pair of kicks is pure bad mojo! Better keep that K9 happy.

An observation: so far, you have found numerous ways to use various Porsche parts as pop-top beer bottle openers with little to no information on the intended function of said parts - Are you really working on your 968 or are you conducting some top secret government research trying to finger Porcshe for manufacturing what most people think are Porsche parts but which are, in fact, black market beer bottle openers? Are my tax dollars subsidising (sp?) this? Boy, I'll be seriously miffed if so!

I've said too much...

Four Leaf Tayback (Nick Nolte) once said, "i don't know what its called, i just know the sound it makes when it kills a man."

well, "i don't know what its called, i just know the sound it makes when it opens my beer." and you can write that down.

and i have "no comment" on your observation [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif[/img]

Tom-

I like to think I run the house, but I am last in line for sure-

The heirarchy:

Youngest daugther
Oldest daugther
Wife
My cat
Wife's cat
Daughter's fish
My milk snake
Me

I like the quote Sydneyman!

Just for your information,

in Germany the instrument to open beer bottles is sometimes called "Siebzehner" which stands for a 17 mm wrench. Not specified if open or closed.

Prost,
Jörg
