You missed #274

Ah, so I did. And IIRC, I used to get on my Columbia sting-ray with the tiger stripe seat and cheater slick, and ride a mile to the five and dime (what's a five and dime???), to pay a nickel for a stick of Bub's Daddy. My $1 allowance went a long way back then.

Once on a family camping trip as a kid a relative offered me something like a nickle a stick to gather kindling for a campfire. I made about $1.80, all of which I spent on penny candy and gumballs at the giftshop. Wow was I a happy camper, but when I got back with my filled-to-the-top sack of goodies my Dad was mad and took it away.
I saw where he put it tho, and it was mostly gone by the end of the weekend.
