Extrapolation


Many Tex-Mex meals are considered heartplugs. The original heartplug concocted at informal Second Advance get-togethers consisted of refried beans, ground beef, cheddar cheese and perhaps a few slices of tomato cooked together in a single pan and washed down with a quaff or two of beer.

In France, the reigning heartplug comes from the south. Known as a cassoulet, it is a weighty kind of white-bean stew which contains pork sausage and pieces of duck that have been cooked in lard. Aside from it's hearty punch of cholesterol and raw lipids, an emptied cassoulet bowl can be worn on the head as a hat.

William Flintrock invented a psychotropic drug which he attempted to market to the atrabilious, the truly bummed-out, the lonely and the love-lorn. Briefly marketed from his garage as "The Heartplug", it was eventually known as "an absurd boondoggle" when it failed to garner FDA approval.
