And that is why to this day I always carry a stick of butter in my purse. Also, that is why I always enable WP SuperCache and nginx proxy_cache when running a WordPress site. Or just use a static site generator.

That sounds a like a reference, but I don't know it. Could you explain?


Sorry, probably a bit of stupid humor on my part. American Dad! season 6 episode 10. Francine and Stan have been married for a really long time and Francine always tell Stan the same story: she got her head stuck in the staircase banister and her mother got her out using a stick of butter, so now she also always carries a stick of butter in her purse in case of emergencies.

This is mildly like the situation where you should always slashdot-proof your web servers if it's easy to do, just in case some piece of content you have on there gets slashdotted. I feel like I say this so much that it's become my "stick of butter" story.
