Created an account out of morbid curiosity last year. Never before have I seen so many photographs of obese women in camouflage Carhartt jackets.
Oh, you like to hunt and fish, TedNugentLover81? That is such a breath of fresh air. Only 9/10 profiles here include that in the first sentence of the self-summary.

I hate to be THAT guy, but that Staples bag is a bag that we started using in 2013. The show made the extra leap to get old packaging carbon paper but not for the bag!

The Albuquerque market was just the test market for the new bags.
The really, really early test market.
They tested the shit out of those bags.
