Struck a nerve?
This isn't the bike that is right now on its way to me, the aforementioned "Coolest Bike Ever" (CBE). It is, however, made by the same company as the CBE - Swobo. I'd never buy a Folsom, I'm not a BMX kind of guy, but jeez, I don't think I'd threaten to shoot anyone in the face over it either.

It looks like your CBE comes with the bottle-opener, is that right?
Is it the design/appearance that make the CBE the CBE or is there something about the function?
The CBE does come with a bottle-opener on the seat, but the seat may be swapped out rather quickly if it is as squishy as it looks. The CBE has several cool things going for it:
1. galvanized steel. I don't know of any other bike that is gavanized. It shouldn't rust (although I'm not sure if the tubeset is sealed or galvanized on the inside as well, so the possibilty of rust does still exist)
2. stripped down to nothing. This bike is make to move you from one place to another with a minimum of hassle and an absolute minimum of maintenance
3. industrial good looks. OK a matter of taste here, but I think it looks great
