I miss stubbies.... We have just started getting SCTV on late night tv
here and one of the Great White North segments was about putting a baby
mouse into the stubby and letting it grow. The first thing that hit me
was seeing the stubby bottles. My girlfriend, a southern belle, didn't
know what those bottle were. Think I might have a 50 stubby packed away
somewhere.
