What does one do with 6 bottles of "sparkling wine"?

[Mischka]

I had the unfortunate luck of having six bottles of Andres sparkling wine pushed upon me this weekend. It's not enough for a bath, and I'm certainly not drinking the stuff. Any suggestions?

Put them in a gift basket with a few other goodies
as a present for someone?
I do this if I find bargains or get given things I can't use. (Like
perfumes etc as I have allergies)
I pop them away in the closet and bring them out if I have
forgotten a friends birthday, am short of cash or for a special treat for someone.

Ewww. I don't blame you. Ummm...I dunno. Tough one.

 

[TWB]

Invite us all over
Get us drunk with some good stuff
Sneak us that when we are good and drunk.

And assign a room for an orgy, of course.

Drink 3-4 vodka tonics. You won't mind drinking it after that.

You and Martha Stewart make me sick

Actually.. this is a great idea.. *writes note to self* do not give Mischka your mailing address..

 

[Mischka]

TWB wins for best suggestion. I'll get back to you on that whole orgy thing, though.

Navarre, I'm not drinking anything after 3-4 vodka tonics. School has made me such a lightweight.

Debbiexxx, your suggestion would have won, but if I like someone enough to give them a gift, I want it to be something I wouldn't be embarassed to give. No matter how cool the rest of the basket would be, a bottle of Andres would stick out like a sore thumb.

Todd, I'm not wasting the postage to send this stuff anywhere. If I ever get inspired to send you something, it'll be something nice. (See comments to Debbie above.)

Freakygurl, if you think Debbie sounds Martha Stewart-ish, then you are banned from talking to lavender about me.

So...does the Salvation Army accept donations of sparkling wine?

Pour it in a big cooler, add lots of ice, a couple bottles of orange juice, some cranberry juice if you like as well some fresh fruit.......Ummmmmm maybe some tequila......Invite some pals over and have a BBQ.............

Failed joke. It sounded better in my head.

The frat idea is good.

Mischka...... you could drive up I35 to Lake Lewisville and find a marina...... Set up a little booth near the boat ramp and offer to "christen" boats for a nominal fee....

 

[Mischka]

Leave it at the front door of your nearest frat. Ring the bell, and run away.

Move over TWB - we have a new winner. I seriously think I'm doing this one. I pass by a row of frat houses on the way to school every morning.

Don't tell me.. you own a glue gun.. don't you?

 

[Mischka]

Hey, Texan's idea isn't half bad either. Quite the creative bunch we have here.

 

[Mischka]

Don't tell me.. you own a glue gun.. don't you?

I own two glue guns. One large, and one small with a dual heat setting.

How does one get SIX bottles "pushed upon" them?!


Oh, and welcome back, 'partner'!

they have some with dual heat settings?

I need to get out more often..

 

[Sillyman]

Why drive to the Marina? Just "christen" things at random: buildings, statues, people you don't like...

Left over from a wedding. Gee, I wonder why. Blech.

And welcome back to you, too. How were finals? I see you survived - always a good sign.

Floral foam melts under the heat of a regular glue gun, so hence the necessity of a low heat glue gun setting. My attempts to make a window cornice out of wood failed, so I jerry-rigged one out of a shell of floral styrofoam, batting, upholstery fabric, and dressmaker pins. Hung it up on L brackets. Whole thing cost me less than 7 bucks, and it looks pretty damn good, if I say so myself.

Mischka, whack ABBA on the stereo, pour us all a couple of drinks and we'd all be flying in no time.

Darling, if you ever make it up this way, I would spare no expense on the entertainment expenses. We could definitely do ABBA, but shots of aquavit would get us flying sooner.

Mischka, you are clearly drinking this stuff to get out of having to share it. Your drunkenness is clear in your posts.

Where do you live? Freakygurl32 and I are coming over. (Just because I want to meet her).
The rest of you guys are welcome, too.
