Las
Vegas – Dec. 10, 2013 – In what is being called a senseless domestic tragedy, Winged
Corkscrew, or “Corker” as he was known to his family, lost his life in the
kitchen of his adopted mother, MF, on Saturday evening.
Through
her attorney, MF provided this statement: “My heart is breaking at the loss of
Corker, but I take comfort in the fact that he died doing what he loved –
opening my regular Saturday night bottle of wine.”
In
a Blog, MF, Blog exclusive, MF spoke to us about the night in question: “It was
just a regular Saturday night,” MF said, her voice breaking. “As always, I had nowhere
to go and nothing to do, so, being the borderline alcoholic that I am, I
decided to open a bottle of wine. My leftover Chinese food from the evening before
was reheating in the microwave, an episode of Monk was playing on the TV, Corker’s
brother, Sammy, was licking himself and the next thing I know, Corker is in
pieces on my kitchen counter. Good thing I had a spare bottle of vodka in the
back of the freezer, otherwise it would have been a very boring Saturday
night.”
It
is this insensitive attitude that has some suspecting foul play, but a source
close to the investigation who wished to remain anonymous said, “He was
overworked, simple as that. (MF) may be a cold-hearted lush, but in her own
way, she loved Corker.”
And
in another Blog, MF, Blog exclusive, an official scene-of-crime photo has been
obtained. Warning: more sensitive readers may be disturbed by the image
presented below.
Born
on an unknown date in China, Corker was brought to the US by an adoption agency
known as “Walmart” where he ended up in one of their Las Vegas homes. He was
adopted by MF sometime in the spring of 2011. He spent many happy hours in a
silverware drawer but his true joy, his raison d’etre, was opening the many (oh
so many) bottles of wine enjoyed by MF. As MF’s attorney remarked: “Corker led
an extraordinary life, filled to the brim with frequent bottle opening.”
Sammy
was too disinterested distraught to provide a comment.
Come to NZ (or buy NZ wine) as almost all our bottles are screwtops for easy access & now some quality vinyards are doing box wine again :-) Poor Corker, though!
