It's the equivalent of winning the lottery. If you find something that fits, or that you like, then it's your lucky day because you know that it only exists in that one place in that particular moment and it's for sale for dirt cheap! (if you know how to bargain)." --Ha Tran Best Place to Get a Psychic Reading "Berkeley Psychic Institute of Mountain View. Where else can you have a bunch of people sit around a room and talk only about you for two hours? Plus they're accurate enough to upset your whole family." --David Corcoran Best Toothpick "Gombei. A toothpick is a toothpick-or is it? Minted, wrapped in cellophane, curly topped, press-a-dispense or straight up. Whatever your experience, you'll forget about all the rest when you feast your teeth upon the ornate hardwood splendor of the Gombei pick. Intricate grooves adorn the crown of this gracile dental instrument. For me, I've made my choice, but you must take your pick."
