Two things:

1. I don't see a real def among that list. Was the real def combined with a
submission and that just failed to get noted?

2. I was awarded two points. I garnered no votes. Were the points for a
correct guess. My selection of #2 has asterisks around it, but that
definition appears to have been submitted by Mike Shefler. It looks as
though everyone who voted for #2 got two points, as if it were a correct
vote.

[Efrem Mallach]

Since Mike Shefler was the dealer, that's the real definition. He didn't say what dictionary he found it in, but there's a Wikipedia entry for "sabrage" that confirms it.

Mike Shefler was the dealer. #2 was the real def. I guess the cited
dictionary is ³Shefler¹s unabridged.² :-)

Good morning Mike
I don't think it alters the Dealer for 2481, but seems to me Paul voted 2 and 14, not 1 and 11

Best wishes,
Millie

Aha! I didn't even think of that. I had been so prepared for a goose egg
score, this round, that the two points surprised me. Sorry Mike. Good word.

His definition matches the ³Wiktionary² at
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sabrage

I like the def in Collins, which gives a history lesson as well: The art of
opening a champagne bottle with a saber that Napoleon Bonaparte started.

Some history here: http://www.champagnesabering.com/home.php?id=9

Since Mike Shefler was the dealer, that's the real definition. He didn't say
what dictionary he found it in, but there's a Wikipedia entry for "sabrage"
that confirms it.

I got really messed up in this round. I didn't send a definition because I thought I had more time. Then I thought I was a DQ because in looking up the definition of sabra during a side conversation with Johnny, "prickly pear" was mentioned ("The term alludes to a tenacious, thorny desert plant, known in English as Prickly Pear, with a thick skin that conceals a sweet, softer interior"), I saw the prickly-pear definition (from Johnny!), and I thought I was a DQ! In the future I'd be better off if I mind my own business. LOL!

Thanks, Millie. It seemed that way to me, too.

Indeed. In fact, a number of online dictionaries confirm the def. That's
really wild.

I, on the other hand, have attended enough wine tastings where the technique
has been demonstrated (and actually attempted it myself once using my
ceremonial Navy sword!) that I didn¹t DQ initially but immediately
recognized it in the list.

Well, his troops did.

Maybe.

There are lots of French legends regarding champagne. Like the first
balloon ride. Who knows if they¹re true? They are good excuses to
drink champagne. :)

[Christopher Carson]

One of my favorite restaurants has always been The Fort just outside Denver.. The proprietor, the late Sam Arnold, would use the sabre technique to open a bottle of champagne with a tomahawk. It was quite an event and in keeping with the theme of the place which was a replica of Bent’s Old Fort in Southeastern Colorado. Their buffalo steaks were superb and they always had an assortment of game dishes on the menu. It was also the only place that I’ve ever had a proper Sazerac cocktail outside of New Orleans.

Ah yes. We ate there many times when we lived in Colorado many years ago.



The Rocky Mountain oysters <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Mountain_oysters> were quite good.

One of my favorite restaurants has always been The Fort just outside Denver.. The proprietor, the late Sam Arnold, would use the sabre technique to open a bottle of champagne with a tomahawk. It was quite an event and in keeping with the theme of the place which was a replica of Bent’s Old Fort in Southeastern Colorado. Their buffalo steaks were superb and they always had an assortment of game dishes on the menu. It was also the only place that I’ve ever had a proper Sazerac cocktail outside of New Orleans.

It's supposed to work perfectly if you strike the bottle right below the
cork. I've never tried it, though.

[Christopher Carson]

The Fort was one of the first restaurants I visited when I moved to Colorado circa 1973. It was a classic ‘date’ place and had amazing atmosphere as well as food. Sam Arnold was a scholar of early western cooking and took some of his recipes from old diaries and cookbooks dating back to the Spanish missionaries. It’s a fascinating place and a spectacular setting on a ridge overlooking the Denver metro area. Walking into the courtyard on a winter’s night and seeing the open fire on the way to the entrance was always a treat.


I’m sure the Rocky Moutain Oysters were first rate although I confess to not being a fan. If you ever have a chance to hear cowboy poet and veterinarian Baxter Black recite his poem ‘Oysters�, I’d highly recommend it. It’s one of his most hilarious compositions.

There is a specific "weak spot" where the neck starts and there is a seam
at the back -- the glass strength there is minimal and you do not have to
hit all that hard, but use the blunt side of the blade -- aiming at about a
20 degree angle up at the weak part. Or so the Internet says.
