Technology has truly taken over. How many times have you or a loved one tried to open a bottle of wine and even with the best of intentions the cork has drowned in its own bottle. Consider the number of corks that were separated and then drowned. There have been several wine openers or corkscrews that left plenty to be desired and the person using it feeling the agony of being defeated by an inanimate object in front of thirst friends and family.

Built NY has come up with the most clever and handsome of all corkscrews. It boasts

• Includes ratcheting handle, foil hook, 2 screwbits storage container
• Ergonomic cast zinc handle
• Stainless steel foil hook nests in handle
• 2 interchangeable stainless steel screwbits for pulling any cork
• 1-78 inch wire screwbit for older, longer corks

The corkscrew comes in attractive Fire Engine Red chrome or a Black Chrome. If you are a wine lover or you need the perfect gift for the wine lover in your life, you need The Ratchet Magnum.

Here are the top Five reasons not to buy the corkscrew:

You don’t think there is a cork under the twist off cap
Jug wine has an easy grip cork already in the bottle
Wine Coolers require a can opener

Women generally shop based on what they would like to receive and tend to be thoughtful and personal in choosing gifts.

Although men can be romantic and thoughtful there is a good chance that at some point in your married life you will receive an appliance as a gift. When you receive the said appliance and give your husband “the look” he will immediately tell you he meant nothing by it and thought he was buying you something you would like.

With Father’s Day right around the corner, if you did not receive jewelry, an expensive luxury item, a gift you requested, or at least personal bath items, and a lovely meal then we may have just the training tool you need. Men often mean well but after wandering through the mall for hours clueless, they often give up and opt for the gift certificate, flowers, or appliance. Cheer up girls it doesn’t happen out of apathy but necessity. Here is the ticket to make it stop.

Men seem to love gadgets and tools that enhance their ability to show off their masculinity. They tend to shy away from gadgets and gizmos that “do the work for them” or somehow seem less manly. Here is a gift that serves a purpose and renders the screaming for your husband obsolete. The Mouse Mover Ultrasonic Rodent Deterent.

The highpitched sounds are heard only by rodents and therefore they stay as far aways as possible. The rodent deterrent also offers:

Another era has ended! This year Yankee Stadium will be a thing of the past. Of course, the Yankees themselves will still be in tact but the stadium is going the way of all things. The House that Ruth built will be no more. The saying goes that you can’t take it with you, but the demolition team at the Stadium are among the luckiest guys ever. I am certain some of them grew up there, going to games with their dads and granddads. The season ticket holders that looked forward to seeing their favorite peanut seller yelling down the aisles, the smell of hot dogs and beer, and the roar of the crowd will all be moving elsewhere.

Yankees fans are a special breed, their memories will not easily extinguished or their loyalty shaken. As Father’s Day fast approaches in particular on the East coast isn’t it time to give Dad or any other Yankees fan a piece of history.

Two guys walk into a bar and what is the first thing they ask for… a woman to get them a drink! Those days are long gone at least when those guys are at the BBQ or by the pool.
