Posted by Shelley Batts on February 28, 2007 Ohhh this picture makes me crack up. I took it outside “The Sink,” a bar in Boulder, Colorado when I was there a bit ago for a science conference. Yes, it says “STD Happy Hour.” I forget what it was suppost to stand for, but it did have some other meaning.
uhh… you were there for happy hour?
No, later than that. I’m not sure whether to be sad or grateful.
If you go to India, you will find a lot of shops carrying the sign ‘STD Booth or STD facility inside’ or variations thereof!

(STD stands for Subscribers Trunk Dialing which means long-distance calling within the country. Not everyone has long-distance calling activated on their home/cell phones and hence such booths are quite popular)
Sao Tome Dobra.
When I was young, STDs were called VD, for venereal disease.
STD is a Linux-based Security Tool.
Severe Tire Damage – House band of the Internet.
Solar Terrestrial Dispatch Space Weather Specialists.

Only in Boulder… Gotta love the hippies.
It should be translated as Socially Transmitted Diseases, in that the Sink is where I learned to waste most of my mind from the 50s to the 80s.
