two buck chuck

Charles Shaw -- a dirt-cheap (but better than you'd expect) wine you can get at Trader Joe's for $2 a bottle in Cali. A little more expensive elsewhere.

Heavy Lourde

A Canadian 16-ton -- sorry, 14515kg -- weight.

You load sixteen tons, what do you get? Another day older and Homsar getting smashed. Again.

One of the coolest grocery stores in existence -- home of two buck chuck, the Pound Plus chocolate bar, and some of the most creative TV dinners in the known universe.
