    Well me and some friends went to a century ride (100 mile bike ride) in Claxton GA…That’s right the Fruit Cake Capital of the World…and after the ride we went to a really crappy buffet…The one and only girl that was with us was walking down the trough and I was right behind her…as she reached for the corn bread I said “Man those are some mighty hot tongs!”…Everyone thought I was talking to her…and the name stuck.
    Now we call her Hot Tongs and Mon (the French way) because her real name is Cherie.

    MarcT: Please explain about the Hot Tongs, include diagrams, dioramas and pictures if necessary.

    For episode 200 I expect to see Gary use port tongs to open a bottle and for 300 I’d like to see him try his hand at sabering a bottle of Champagne.

    Lurker:

    Favorite estate bottled, estate grown Champagne – Jean Laurent. The Blanc de Blancs is incredible! And the vintage Champagnes are utterly amazing, if you can find them…

    Its great to see you on WineLibrary TV now, since I no longer live near NJ.

    TimF…I think people in the stupid kingdom (Me and Kahuna) might get confused at first but then all would work out…
    BTW anyone wanting to join the Stupid Kingdom my ask my permission!

    I deem BrandonM head Pillager and director of voting…He must always wear his Viking Hat!!!

    Port Tongs…formally known as TimF is now deemed Bishop of Norwich.

    I wonder if people would get confused if I changed my screen name to Port Tongs?

    MarcT

    I have seen them used (Port Tongs) and made some informal ones (that did not work) but do not own any REAL Port Tongs.
    Though I do have a friend with the nickname “Hot Tongs”

    I want to take an informal poll: How many of you use port tongs?

  20. October 25, 2006

    MarcT

    I deem Kahuna…Prince and High Priest of Stupid Kingdom.
    Now…Kahuna…Do YOU know the Bishop of Norwich?
