Profile: Your "to do" list for the day includes changing the oil in the car, re-staining the deck chairs out back, and turning over your compost pile. All of this is hard, dirty, thirsty work, so you fix yourself a beverage to take with you. Do you take one of the fine cut crystal wine goblets with you? No, of course not, you take that beat up oddball glass that doesn't go with anything, and you go get the jobs done. That glass is a grubbycup.
