You to be verbally accosting regularly in public parking lots by men selling steaks out of their car trunks.

“ It’s Omaha steak, man, you look like a good dude, I’ll sell you 10 prime filets for 28 bucks man. “

WTF was that all about? Anybody else remember that ?

No but I bought some Gulf shrimp from a boy from Ol Miss up in Colorado. 90s.
I think he lost money in gas bills.

Remember the $1500 home stereo speakers that the dude "accidentally" received an extra pair of and he was willing to sell them to you for $200 right here in the Lowe's parking lot?

Speaker guy definitely got around in parking lots, too. Household cleaner guy would also make an appearance, but he’d knock on your door at home.

It seems like this happened every year. There was always a dude coming around selling steaks and a dude who sold shrimp. And they were always dirty looking dudes.

I have never seen this at all. I do remember people selling them, but never in a parking lot.

They never claimed to be brilliant, only to have never lost a party.

I never bought steak out of a trunk, but if I have bought many pounds of shrimp and bushels of crabs off the side of the road.

15 or so years ago a methy looking guy pulled into my driveway at 9:30 at night and tried to sell me steaks. He got really angry when I wouldn’t even come look at what he had.
