The Exorcist Puking Regan Bottle Pourer: For Demonic Drinks

Posted on by

Inspired by the scene from The Exorcist that kept me up countless nights when I was a child because I watched the movie entirely too young at a sleepover, this pewter bottle pourer features the likeness of Regan MacNeil projectile vomiting. The $45 pourer is handmade and sold by Crimson Hands FX on Etsy and fits most liquor bottles. Thankfully for the wives of husbands like me, it does not fit baby bottles.

Obviously, this is a must-have for any serious Halloween-themed party. I mean, if you’re not decorating all the way down to the bottle pourers, do you even take the holiday seriously?

Fun fact: did you know in the scene from the movie Regan was originally supposed to puke on Father Karras’s chest, but the tubing carrying the fake vomit misfired, hitting him in the face instead? His look of surprise and disgust was real. And, honestly, I’m still not convinced Regan’s demonic possession wasn’t real, either.

Glass Chicken Wine and Whiskey Decanter Set: Cock-A-Doodle-Drink

Posted on by

Because what better way to let guests know you take Thanksgiving far more seriously than anyone ever should, The Wine Savant has crafted the Rooster Glass Decanter Set. Available on Amazon (affiliate link), the set features a headless rooster decanter, along with two tasting glasses. Obviously, it’s perfect for sipping turkey gravy at the dinner table while your family watches in horror.

The cock-a-doodle-decanter holds 500ml of your favorite wine or spirit and has received 5 out of 5 stars according to nine reviews on Amazon. Clearly, there’s something I’m missing here. Per one verified buyer: “This cock will be proudly displayed for every party we have moving forward.” Well, the thing I’m missing definitely isn’t maturity.

Personally, I don’t drink anything that warrants decanting, but that’s just me, and I’m old-fashioned. And by old fashioned, I mean drink cheap domestic beer out of a beer helmet. My wife hates it, especially when I insist on wearing it at the fancy dinner parties her friends throw.

Ice Monster D20 Whiskey Rocks: Roll to See How Many Sips You Take

Posted on by

Tabletop gaming campaigns: I’ve found they’re best enjoyed with a drink in hand. And what better way to combine your love of tabletop gaming and fine spirits than with these Ice Monster D20 Whiskey Rocks? I can’t think of any. Granted, I didn’t try very hard, but thinking gives me headaches.

Currently an already funded Kickstarter campaign, $52 will get you a single D20 stone with either an Ice Dragon or Lich King theme, and $92 will get you one of each. The stones measure approximately 1.6″ wide and 1.9″ tall and are constructed from laser-etched volcanic obsidian. They’re rated as food safe, which is an important attribute as far as things you’re going to put in a drink go.

Am I going to pull my lucky whiskey stone D20s out of my glass to roll whenever it’s my turn? Yes. Will it be the last time I’m invited to game night? Also yes. Whatever, who needs friends to play role-playing games with when I just bought a whole stack of Choose Your Own Adventure books from the thrift store?

Glass Ship in a Bottle Liquor Decanter: Grog Me!

Posted on by

Because fancy liquor demands a fancy decanter, retailer of things you didn’t know you needed Firebox is selling this very nautical $70 Ship In A Bottle Decanter. It features a borosilicate glass ship in a 750ml bottle, complete with cork stopper (ignore the glass one in the photos) for a satisfying ‘pop’ whenever it’s rum time. It’s five o’clock somewhere, right? Which means it’s also one o’clock somewhere else and time for my nap.

Obviously, any pirate captain would be remiss to not have a ship in a bottle decanter in his cabin. I mean without one how could his crew take him seriously and not mutiny? Just like the song goes, “Yo, ho, ho, and a ship in a bottle of rum.” It’s practically a requisite for not having to walk the plank.

I really want one, but I’m torn. On the one hand, my nautical/tiki themed office pretty much demands this ship in a bottle decanter be on display. But on the other hand, a hook. Get it? Pirate joke! Yarrrrrr!

Grenade-shaped Whiskey Stones: Bombs Away!

Posted on by

Whiskey: for optimal tasting, it’s best served around 60 – 65°F (15-18°C), but adding ice can actually dilute some of the flavor notes. So how can you chill your whiskey without diluting it? With whiskey stones, of course. Or, in this case, whiskey grenades. Fire in the hole!

Created by The Wine Savant and available on Amazon (affiliate link), the 1.8″ grenades are constructed from 304-grade stainless steel and are ready for use in less than an hour in the freezer. They come in a four-pack and include a storage bag and tongs so you can place the grenades in your drink instead of lobbing them in like actual grenades and breaking all your glassware.

Of course, wanting to make sure your whiskey is at optimal tasting temperature to express all the intended flavors is assuming you’re drinking a whiskey you actually want to taste, and not the back-alley swill I drink. The stuff I drink is best poured directly past your taste buds, where you hope it goes down and stays down.

Hip Flask Nunchucks: For a Drunken Master

Posted on by

Weapons and booze: as a general rule, they don’t mix well together. But did that stop Anvirtue from producing these hip flask nunchucks? No, it did not. I can already feel the welt on my leg swelling because I tried showing off my amateur nunchuck skills after emptying both flasks down my gullet.

Available on Amazon (affiliate link), the flaskchucks are constructed from stainless steel and feature leak-proof screw-top seals. Unfortunately for anybody looking for a flask with decent carrying capacity, each individual tube only holds 40mL (~1.35oz), for a total of about two shots of liquor. That is not very much liquor. That is more than enough blood for a magic potion though.

When reached for comment about the nunchucks, famed Ninja Turtle and party animal Michelangelo informed me he doesn’t drink, but he doubts these would be much use against the Foot Clan. He also smacked my hand with a real nunchuck when I reached for a slice of his pizza.

Make Your Own Moonshine With This Copper Still Starter Kit

Posted on by

You know, I was just thinking the other day maybe I should start making my own liquor. I was just going to use the bathtub, but then I saw this 5 Gallon Pure Copper Alembic Still built by Copperholic and available for sale on Amazon (affiliate link). The traditional still costs $400 and comes with everything needed to get you up and bootlegging in no time. I can already close my eyes and imagine I’ve gone blind after drinking a bad batch.

Liquor not your cup of tea? You can also use the still for hydro or steam distillation of essential oils. Those are all the rage right now, you know. I’m going to set up a booth at the farmer’s market and make a fortune selling my own home-distilled essential oils above the table, and rotgut liquor beneath the table. Cha-ching!

I don’t really understand the process of moonshining, but I’m sure the internet can point me in the right direction. Or, as is the case more often than not, the very wrong direction. Either way, come over in about ten days because I am going to need a taste-tester.

AT-AT Liquor Cabinet Perfect for Serving Up Your Johnnie (Imperial) Walker Black

Posted on by

I’ve always wanted one of those fancy liquor cabinets in my house. I’m not talking about the type that look like an old globe either. I want a really cool one. Perhaps something really original, like one that looks like an AT-AT Imperial Walker. Oh, what’s that you say? Somebody already beat me to the punch? Damn.

Yep, what you’re looking at here is the most awesome bar for serving up your finest booze – all in the shape of an AT-AT. Luckily, it has yet to be brought down by a snow speeder’s tow cables, as that would be a horrible tragedy. The cabinet appears to be handcrafted from wood and brass, and stands at least 4 or 5 feet tall – unless those guys in the photo are Ewoks disguised as humans.

I know not from whence this tasty morsel of awesome comes, other than the fact that these photos were posted up on imgur back in 2011. If you happen to have been involved in the construction of this monument to geeky greatness, speak up and take credit where credit is due. I’ll be over here in the corner, keeping warm with a Hoth Toddy.
