I just finished entering a contest held by Southwest Airlines here in Albuquerque. The idea is to build an airplane out of tortillas and the best plane wins a free trip to Las Vegas, NV.

----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Bliss" (...) Doh! I think you are right. When I first read it, it sounded like the author was revelling at having spotted a spelling mistake. But having now read it again, I think I was too hasty, especially (...) (23 years ago, 23-Apr-01, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) No, I think the author got the joke just fine, and added a couple of other bits to the gag. Steve (23 years ago, 23-Apr-01, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) Actually, its more of a technical term. In the toy industry, plush is pretty much anything soft on the surface and squishy. My family used to run a couple of games at carnivals. That's where I ran into the term. Later, Gino A... (23 years ago, 22-Apr-01, to lugnet.mediawatch)

So they were using a Slizer throwing arm as a prop? Pretty cool! As far as not posting it to mediawatch, even if you don't subscribe to it, others (including myself) do. It's nice for these types of posts to end up there so that in the future people (...) (23 years ago, 21-Apr-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.ny.bin, lugnet.technic.slizer, lugnet.mediawatch)

I don't think that it would be a 'UKism' on such an American show. One of the same players later questions was regarding which countries the Bering Straight separates.

(...) This must be a UKism, as we don't use that phrase much. Beanie Babies are "stuffed animals" I think. Of course, stuffed doesn't carry quite the negative connotation in the US. ++Lar (23 years ago, 21-Apr-01, to lugnet.mediawatch)
