When it comes to plug, gimme a Brown's Mule any day of the week. 'Course, I no longer chew, so it's academic.

I remember when i could get the stuff for under a buck. Guess part of it goes to nanny's "sin tax" which is probably not the worst thing in the world.Quote:

Last thing you want is to swallow that nicotine plug.
No...never could take it. That experimentation with Day's Work and Apple 'way back when was enough!Quote:

Yea...that's why it's sometimes disturbing to watch a ball player with a big wad. Always afraid that there'll be a freak play that causes that to happen. Guess, tho', they're all pros & it can't happen.
