Behold these two keychain bottle openers.
The foreground example, well-weathered and well-used, bears the name and logo of the local gay communist atheist satanist alternative newspaper. (Needless to say, City Weekly features The Straight Dope each week.) It resides in my nasssty little pocketeses. (Specifically, the right front one, where it has been for a few years.)
The farther example, shiny and new, is a gift from my best friend, who recently got his Master’s degree from the Chicago-area institute of higher learning whose name is emblazoned thereon. (I doubt I’ll actually put it on my keychain, because: (a) it looks too nice; and (b) it would make me a colossal poser, since I didn’t go to NU.)
The two devices are nearly alike in form, dignity, and function, but for this one difference: the Northwestern University bottle opener has an…extra…thingamabob on the back. What’s that for?
