Making a weapon out of a beer bottle?


I would like to see this one tested. In movies you always see someone just smack the end of the bottle on a table and get a nice jagged crown which is good for stabbing, but I suspect that it's not that easy in real life.

Unless Alpert's covered in bacon grease, I don't think Hugo can track anything.

They did do a bar brawl episode but it was more about breaking the bottle over someone's head. It turned out to be rather hard to get them to break if I remember right.

Back in high school, I smacked a bottle on the edge of a 50 gallon drum type garbage can and cut my hand.

No desire to try that again.

Pffft, my suspension of disbelief has higher standards than that.

I am sorry, but that just made me laugh pretty hard. Did you get a scar?

reply

No scar, but we were filming with a super 8 camera at the time,
so its been documented for posterity!
