@Son-of-Jor-El When I was a kid, I knew several adults who legitimately believed in that BS. Because rock n roll is the DEBBUL!!!!
It was just "common knowledge" that this stuff was real when I was a kid.
That and Dungeons and Dragons.
I knew adults who were mortified at the very existence of D&D, and were convinced that a Ouija board was a literal gate to Hell. Not joking. But then again, the south is pretty far behind the curve.
I knew a guy (Scott Howard) who wrote a few D&D Dungeons for the board game. Guess he didn't get very popular -- I can't find him any more. He was pretty much shunned by the churches in my area (deep South), but I grew up better than that, and he was a really cool guy -- met him on a BBS, and then face to face later on.
I also knew another person who had a Ouija board and couldn't get rid of it... So I still lean towards Ouija boards being a gateway to Hell, lol.
I blame TV preachers... they were the chief fear mongers of my childhood, and around here people intrinsically trust anyone with a bible or a jesus fish.
This wasn't TV preachers in my area... It was the local folks too... Quite sad really... This guy was more honest than many of the locals.
Oh, our local folks were gung ho on the removal of rock albums and devilish board games, but I know for a fact that TV preachers (looking at you, 700 Club) planted those seeds of idiocy. Sad to say that I actually share some DNA with some of the people I'm talking about (not my parents, they're awesome, but some of my aunts/uncles/cousins are easily led automatons...)

I went to his house a few times, and on my first visit, I saw a giant sword hanging on a wall, with a skull nailed above it. That told me everything I needed to know about the guy: Awesome!
Same here.

Isn't a storefront the dream of every food truck owner???

Maybe a truck is the dream of every restaurant owner?

Especially since I generally get better food at the food truck then I do at most restaurants.

Well maths teachers cure constipation by working it out with a pencil, so chefs turn it once or twice before it fully cooked?
