why a tourist state and not something more? you think they are incapable of anything or something?I mean, they're basically an Atlantic Hawaii. Difference being, Puerto Rico actually used to be a big coffee exporter until a hurricane came through in the late 1800s or so and knocked all the trees down. Coffee doesn't grow on trees, but the plants require the shade of them so that pretty well killed the industry since trees by and large aren't fast growers. --- let's lubricate friction material! ~nickels, Cars & Trucks |

There are not enough humans born into the world to justify the continuous recycle of the McRib. Everyone tries it once hates it and never eats it againI mean, that goes in with what I was saying. No one actually wants the McRib back, but they tell everyone that they wanted the McRib back and therefore it's back. And for some reason it keeps working. Beyond that, it's really just a basic "FOMO" or "Fear Of Missing Out" marketing campaign. And the way I figure it, they time this so everyone who bought it before forgets they didn't like it, sort of like how I don't like eating Butterfingers because the end effect is like cement on my teeth, but after a while I'll be in line to check out and go "oh hey, Butterfingers, those are good" because I've forgotten the immense displeasure I get from eating them even though the taste isn't terrible. --- let's lubricate friction material! ~nickels, Cars & Trucks |

Tbh though, I'd love to see an honest survey of what people who buy expensive workboots actually use them for. The aesthetic and marketing surrounding it suggests "Taking a 10 mile hike through eugged wilderness while on vacation from my job as a logger", but I expect its a whole lot more "light stroll around the city towards a coffee shop, might drizzle slightly".That's a fair point. Nicks are overkill for me working in retail honestly, but one big factor in their favor was I could get them made to my width.
