just feeling crafty tonight...and too lazy to get a beer opener..I used a philips screwdriver and it was more perfect than I thought it would be.  Anyone care to share some accidental inventions for fun?

My two would definitely have to be a bic lighter (since the cheap lighters usually chip), and a counter top edge is always great when available ;D

what about other inventions for opening wine bottles that have corks? cause that's a real bitch to do without a corkscrew.

My roomate and friend, Mike, uses random instruments frequently as bottle openers. I've seen him use the back flat end of a hammer, every screwdriver in the apartment, the corner of his blackberry phone (used quite frequently), counters or table corners, of course lighters. He has used more things, but I'm drawing blanks. His biggest challenge was to open a bottle with a tomato. This was his only fail, so far.

loving the sound of the words Church Key tonight....seriously no other inventions that don't include opening a beer bottle?

my cellphone

the edge of a counter tops always works in a pinch.... and yes I invented counter tops.

Are you completely insane!? Jon said:

hammer

I have one of them bottle opener belt buckles... it's a mess though because you have to turn the bottle sideways to open it! i always end up getting beer all over my junk!

hammer

Bic lighter makes the best church key.

Reminds me of the time I got on a 4 hour bus ride from Kaohsiung to Taipei with a big ol' bottle of Taiwan Beer (the local brew) with no opener or lighter. I actually tried using my real keys and ended up bloodying my hand.

Hmmm...never thought about that. Mina a.k.a. psycho -a said:

So what about keys then? Ordinary keys...

Well....I no longer have teeth....and they never seem to have devices designed to take off beer caps at parties. ; ) Mina a.k.a. psycho -a said:

I like twist off caps myself.

:O That's like for kiddos! ;-)

Man.... Y'all have a pretty loose definition of "Invention."

You really have to open beers before drinking them ???
I used to swallow the whole bottle and chew it 'til the beer flows...when I had some teeth left !!!

I just give the cap a real mean, dirty look. Scare em open, ya know.

We have a saying that goes 'the most popular guy at the party is the one with the lighter'

the side of a table works too.

I like twist off caps myself.

I usually use a bic lighter,but I saw no-smoker people use his eyebrow arch!! :-P

anybody invent something besides a beer opener?

A belt buckle, house keys, or the little square brass thing on a door frame that the door knob latch fits into have all worked for me.

Door latch plate ( you usually loose some beer)

Pliers

I also have an opener made from a piece of bicycle crank sprocket, works well.
