Bottle Opener Fridge Magnet

An open letter to my patrons, Since opening my pub years ago, I have tried my best to stick with tradition. I have not added big screen televisions nor have I changed my beer selection with all those new fancy-foofy bottles of rubbish. And if anyone's noticed, I still even have a jukebox that plays actual CDs that were suggested by you the customer! Not the soulless digital music systems the new sports bar has. And up until now, I have offered traditional camel hair dartboards with real darts.

Unfortunately, during the last tournament, a couple of our better-known regulars (I'll not name names – Goddard) had a few too many pints and just about pinned another customer's head to the wall with a few wayward darts. To remedy this situation and to add a bit more excitement to our tourneys, I have purchased two Arachnid Commercial Dartboards. These machines use the soft tip darts, but are extremely accurate and are actually fun to play. This may also eliminate some of the fisticuffs over hand scoring as it also keeps track of scores, missed darts, handicaps, and every other tournament statistic.

So the camel hair dartboard now has a 3-pint maximum and is not to be used for tournaments. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I think everyone will appreciate the advantages of the new Arachnid dartboards and feel safer knowing they are no longer subject to beer-soaked projectiles. Though I'm sure someone will still stand a chance of losing an eye if not careful.

Cheers.

And here I thought I'd seen it all when it came to novelty golf gifts! The golf club drink dispenser beats out the competition, though, because it's actually really practical and useful as well as being golf-related! This turned out to be the perfect gift for my godfather, who is attached to his golf clubs (and likes a good cold drink now and then too, if you know what I mean).

I found this gift pretty randomly, while doing an online search for "fun golf gifts." Most of the other things I was finding were things he already has, like personalized golf bags, little figurines, and things like that. He's not a figurine type of guy. But cold drink dispensing? He likes that almost as much as he likes golf.

I went ahead and ordered this product, and when it got here it was much cooler than I'd thought it would be. It fits right into a golf bag, and the dispensing head looks like a golf club, sticking out alongside your actual clubs. You just pull down on the head to fill your cup. It really is practical, because it's probably a huge pain to carry coolers and bottles while you're walking on a golf course. This is easy to carry and keeps your drinks cold.

My godfather, of course, laughed when I gave this to him, because his first thought was that now he could sneak drinks onto the course without anyone knowing. I just keep telling myself I bought it so he could carry Vitamin Water with him. Sometimes I believe it.

My husband is one of those guys who has a fascination with duct tape. It's cute; he can't help it. He's been known to duct tape everything from the bumper on his car (it got cracked) to the bathroom shower curtain (it got torn). It's become sort of a joke between us, so of course when his birthday came around this year I figured duct tape had to be affiliated to the gift somehow. At first I was going to wrap the gift in duct tape and attach a bow; but then I found something even better.

The website ThinkGeek.com offers Duct Tape Walllets . Seriously. I knew that you could make wallets out of duct tape, but these REALLY look like the real thing; they're very well made and sturdy, and it takes a second of looking at them before you realize what the material actually is. Technically, they are made out of Super Duct Tape, which is softer and more durable and isn't as sticky and messy as the household stuff. But they have the same look and feel. This was the perfect idea. My husband needed a new wallet, and this was probably the most "personalized" way of giving him one!

It might not be for everyone, but if you have a guy in your life who's stuck on the gray stuff, this is a pretty funny idea. It's also practical, and he'll think of you every time you use it. But be prepared to put up with a little bit of smugness, especially if, like me, you've told him before that he relies on duct tape too much. My husband opened his gift and the first words out of his mouth were "I TOLD you you can use duct tape for anything!" Okay, fine, whatever.
