For those of you swooning over Nicole's recent post about kitchen bling,
maybe you can do a bit of penance here with this Pope John Paul II bottle opener ... a.k.a. "The
Popener."
When my old roommate came back from a bit of work in Rome, she brought me a John Paul II bottle opener, straight from the Vatican. At the time, I was not happy. What kind of girlfriend brings a bottle opener back from Italy?
While I would have preferred something I could wear or eat or sell at a vast profit on eBay, I came to love this bottle opener with time. Every Sierra Nevada I cracked after a long day at the office became holy. Every Brooklyn Brown Ale became the equivalent of 20 "Hail Marys."
If you want one, you had better get cracking. While they're currently on sale at romegiftshop.com for $14.99 (free St. Peter postcard included!), can a Pope Benedict XVI bottle opener be that far off?

So on that rome gift shop sight, there's a link that says "spartacus"? It seems he's a gladiator with a cooking show!!! I'm gonna have to look into that further.
And yeah, popener...gotta get one.
