Yup!... It got so bad that a fellow that liked to, you know, smoke a little grass or drink a little ripple. Crow like a rooster! Maybe challenge the mayor's son to a gentlemen's duel, is uncouth, "Against God!" and bad for real estate values. STUMPY HAD TO GOOOO!

I was there. Yeah, it was called the 80s. Ford was president, Nixon was in the White House, and FDR was running this country into the ground. I was bummin' in a hole-in-the-wall town in what is now called Utah. Some fella from Colorado shows up, starts making so-called "improvements", right? Before we knew what hit us, the streets are runnin' with late. It got so bad that a fella that like to, ya know...smoke a little grass, drink a little ripple...crow like a rooster, maybe challenge the mayor's son to a gentleman's duel, was "uncouth, against god." More like bad real estate values. So we had to go!

I was talking to my buddy at Canadian Tire, I said: "you know what would be cool?" "what" "a one piece hockey gear set, like knee pads, elbow pads, shoulder pads, socks, thermals, and neck protector all on one big one-zie" "wow thats an amazing idea" "I know! it would make everything so fast and easy to get on."

3 months later, my buddy made a shit ton of money for the idea, sold it to canadian tire, they were produced in under 6 months, and now I'm left with shit all and everyone has them.
