1. I wonder if they ship the brick to you...
or merely throw it at you.

16. Or let people rent Blues Brothers painted old cop cars and drive
them through the mall.

Tickets start at a thousand dollars a couple, and decline in price from there, as it's really just a grand version of Jenga - with you underneath.

8. I've been there, when it was open.
I grew up about 2 miles north and remember eating breakfast there on Saturday mornings and shopping with my Mom at Penney's.

I still drive past every now and then on my way to the interstate.
