- Well, none of us <admit> to it anyway.... Thunderbird was part of the
- pantheon of rotgut wines that included Gypsy Rose (drink a bottle and
- take off your clothes) and Night Train. The best way to appreciate
- them was to smoke some weed first, and only then drink the wine.

- could make Mogen David Extra Heavy Malaga taste drinkable by
- comparison.
