Aren't you making a plug for outlets for plugs? Plugs have a purpose other than outlet plugs.ORIGINAL: witpqs
I would like to put in a plug for outlets. Without them, plugs would have no purpose.ORIGINAL: geofflambert
Let me put in a plug for the Museum of Transportation here. See it. Nearby is Laumeier Sculpture Park which is worth a walk for the exercise.

Reminds me of a story of my maternal grandmother. When I was a toddler my sister told me a story of when we went on a winery tour on vacation with my maternal grandmother. My father liked good wines (he infected me with a fondness for first growth French wines, but alas I don't have the budget for them) and was talking wine with the tour guide. My grandmother, not quite following the conversation and wanting to bring it back to familiar territory, chipped in with "my favorite wine is Thunderbird!" My sister said both the winery tour guide and my father visibly winced.
My grandmother kind of fit the Irish stereotype. She liked her drink a bit too much and her tastes were not exactly high brow.

My dad and mom went on a tour of one of the Napa Valley wineries. They were taught the proper etiquette in wine tasting. Apparently it does not involve announcing "The only way to tell a good wine from a bad one is how well it mixes with pepsi".ORIGINAL: wdolson

Takes me back to a saying of my youth.
"What's the word? Thunderbird! What's the price? Thirty thrice.
Drank some in my early days but the adult beverage of choice (albeit was my teenage choice also) was the old Oly (Olympia). With my $2/week high school allowance I could buy a 16oz "sixer" and still have 50 cents left to buy 2 plus gallons of gas.
No wonder I'm not worth a $hit now at 74.

That's a look that says: You've put the plug into the wrong socket! While the bloke feigns shock and makes out it was an accident......
...or so I'm told.....
