        Way to completely remove the funny from the word 'butt' : large street in town used to have the archery butts on it so you grow up using 'butt' as an everyday word. All the kids used to eyeroll at that simpsons joke.

        Oddly, for beer they're slightly different: 4.5/9/18/36 gallons for a barrel etc, wonder why?

        This is why Twitter is essential. Now, where would you find a cooper to craft a decent rundlet these days?

        They tend to have coopers in places like Plimoth Plantation and Mystic Seaport, where they do early modern (there's a proper grownup word for cosplay but damn if I can -- ah!) re-enactments.

    Loading seems to be taking a while.

    Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
