Didn't Limp, Kid Rock and Rob Zombie all become relevant about that time? I was older'ish 25-26 ish, but the younger guys at the fire house got me into listening to them.

I was the Training Captain at the time and I used to use Rob Zombie sound tracks, BLASSSSSSTED (140 dcb level) during live close quarter training exercises to mimic removing the sense of hearing, teaching to focus on other sense, like one would experience in a true fire or rescue situation. I loved the jams, it made rookies curl up in the fetal position. But the stronger ones over came it and lived through the real shit.

Rob doesn't usually get credit for stuff like that. .... hmm I think I know my sound track tonight after I take my Delta 8 anti-stimulant. GOD the good old days where fukcing great.     

My outdoor audio setup can be heard from a block away, and you're really tempting me to go crank it all the way up and put on Dragula or Never Gonna Stop. 😂

Limp, Kid Rock, Korn, Orgy, Staind, White Zombie/Rob Zombie, Linkin Park were all in that 97-02 range of rock/NuMetal.  A lot of crossover with hip hop artists that hit it big at the same time: Eminem, DMX, 50 Cent, Ludacris, Outkast.....

New study suggests the reusable cotton grocery bags that have been shoved down our throats require 7100 uses to make it equivalent to a single use bag in terms of “environmentally friendly”.

How soon they forget the single use plastic bags were introduced as the environmentally friendly alternative to the paper bags! Kinda pi$$es me off when I’m asked if I want paper or plastic!!

You can’t hardly go wrong when both the owners and customers are talking Spanish at the food truck!😋

Honestly, some of the best food trucks I've ever been to are the ones that I had to point at what I wanted.  And the way some of the food comes out....I don't care what it was, it was damn good.  "Oh, that's smoked and reconstituted sasquach testicles fried in pure whale blubber? Damn....well, give me another order to go."

Wasn't that the worst estimate in the entire article? Some of the other estimates were for much fewer uses.

I have a couple re-usable bags that I make a point of taking with me whenever I go to town. Very handy and can hold a lot. I always use the self-checkout lines at grocery stores and get some interesting looks from people when I pull these out.

DUDE !! Up until 3 yrs ago, our offices in Tucson were kinda close to down town'ish. I'd have customers in, go to $300-$400 lunches for 3-5 of us.

3 yrs ago we moved out by the airport, and their aint' SQUAT out there to eat but food trucks, with picnic tables outside under the Palo Verda trees. Paper plates and off label mexican soda pop in the 16 oz glass bottles like I was back in 1978.

Sonoran hot dogs and mini tacos... FROM A EFFING TRUCK..Outside, on a picnic table under a shedding Palo Verda tree..while in a suit coat and tye.  That is always the first 2 things mentioned of what the customer loved about the visit. $23.50 for 4 ppl. 

 

I'm going back to bib overalls when I visit my Boston Customers.
