    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.

    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.
