For the love of satan who runs this fine establishment and how can we get more.


You must be enjoying your new camera.


That camera is the second-best twenty bucks I've ever spent.


You see a need, you fill it. Easy as that.


alright...

so, what was the first-best $20 you ever spent?


Two-thousand sticks of Fortune Bubble.


By the way, according to www.oldtimecandy.com, Fortune Bubble Gum was discontinued -- which means "that it is gone, we do not have any and we don't know where to find it."

For the record, I never actually bought 2,000 sticks. But I remember Dave Felver buying at least several hundred once and passing them out on the playground at Laura MacArthur Elementary School in about 1982. He made a lot of friends that day. I think he told me he stole the money from his dad.

For those who don't know, Fortune Bubble Gum was sold by the individual stick for one penny. Along with the gum in the package was ... you guessed it, a fortune.


Now do it again to a hip-hop beat!


FOR THE LOVE OF P-FUNK AND PEZ, WILL THEY HIRE ME?!?!


Coincidentally, that is also one of the busier late-night crack corners in the city.
