How does it work? Vacuum? Needle and pressure? Corkscrew?

I'm positive you have analysed it by now.

Electric corkscrew, plain and simple.

If it was exotic it would cost more....

Here's a FINE review:

Well, I hope you all had a great weekend. I know I did. Got surprised by the girl I've been seeing with a visit this weekend. I've gone back home the last 6 weekends in a row to see her and was totally bummed because I had an event up here Friday night that was going to keep me up here this weekend. She could tell I was bummed so she drove up this weekend to hang out with me. To top it all off, we are now officially a couple! God has been amazing to me lately and I thank him for it everyday.

This starts out as a lovely scene, but it doesn't take long for the carnage to begin

Sitting here in warm So Cal, that is a hoot!

The guy could have put the camera down, and went up to the top of the hill to warn drivers. But where is the fun in that?

About the only thing similar here is yea-hoos hydroplaning in the rain at higher speeds and greater carnage.

'Mornin' all!

Well, he did holler a couple of times

And this is in a place where snow isn't unusual...I can only imagine what would happen here with just a fraction of that amount of snow/ice.

True enough Marv...I got held up for 20 minutes on Ca91 Saturday morning while the emergency crews scraped a couple of those yea-hoo's vehicles off of the road.

Goodmorning guys,

Hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Well now that we know who's going to play in the Superbowl, I'm kinda glad that the 49ers lost yesterday. What happened to good sportsmanship? Atleast they got beat by a good team!

On a different note...We got about 4-6" of snow! WOOHOO!!!! And it's still snowing off & on. The kids already asked if they could go snowboarding when they get home from school today. LOL!

Looks like the tow companies make good money in the winter season. That video needed some music to accompany it, like the Nutcracker suite or something LOL
