Is that anything like the Michigan bottle deposit scam? |

| I'm not sure. I think it's because he is paying by card he said his bank changes the Canadian dollar into the US before charging the Sterling rate on that. |

I dont know what that is.
Double Bubble is 5 cents. So get 4 more pennies.
I dont even know if penny candies still exist.

You know, it really drives me crazy when I make cultural references and you youngsters don't understand them. Max Headroom, Monchichi, and now Pal Bubble Gum.
Pal Bubble Gum was a popular gum to give away at Halloween in the 70's because it was a penny per piece. Yes, I realize this was before you were born. Huhhhhhhhhhhh. |

I'm sorry. Clearly I had all the control in the world over when I was born and just screwed it up.
I will work on being older. Excuse me now as I put away my teddy bear and break out my cane and bingo dabber. |

Amen Ric. Clearly you understand the madness that ensues here.
Though if they are touring America in March and if Texas is in the middle of the tour (as it has been in the past) then they would be here during SXSW. Maybe even on purpose. |

Really? I remember my mom talking about having one of those when she was little. But you are like half her age.
And milk deliveries. But in a bottle, not a bag. Sadly.
I may be an ignorant youngster but I know what SXSW is! Kayte, let us share our knowledge with each other! |
