popping the cork

As you may be aware, tomorrow is New Year's Eve and people every where will be celebrating with a bit of bubbly.  A number of years ago I saw an episode of Three Sheets where a bottle of champagne was opened with a saber.  You can watch the episode here on Hulu.  Oddly enough I do not have a saber hanging around the house, so never even thought about trying to replicate the opening.  That is until the New York times ran a story about How to Saber Champagne and it turns out you do not need a saber at all, only an icy bottle and a chef's knife.  Will you give it a try?

Hm. Prolly not. I think just the old-fashioned attempt to shoot one's eye out with the cork will suffice for us this evening. :)
