The Sweetest Little Candy in the Whole Dirty South · 9 June 05
[DISCLAIMER: The following occurred in my imagination.]
THE SCENE: A 7-11 IN Kumamoto, Japan.
[USHER AND LIL’ JOHN, TIRED AFTER A LONG DAY OF TOURING THE LOCAL CASTLES AND ART MUSEUMS, ARE LOOKING FOR CANDY.]
LIL JOHN: [SORTING THROUGH BRIGHTLY PACKAGED CANDY] See, what we lack is better branding… some kind of umbrella name for this whole Dirty South meets Top 40 good-times vibe we got goin’ on, ya know?
[USHER RAISES ONE EYEBROW WHILE TILTING HAT]
LJ: Yeah, I knew you’d agree with me on that. What the…? No Pixie Stix™? How you gonna call yourself a civilized nation and not have Pixie Stix™?
[USHER DOES THE HUSTLE FOR A SECOND, SWITCHES TO THE PERCOLATOR, AND SHRUGS HIS SHOULDERS]
LJ: I know, right? Anyway, what I’m saying is we need a na- [GRABS CANDY BAG OFF RACK AND HOLDS IT IN HAND] Holy crap. It’s perfect!
[USHER DOES SOME KIND OF MOONWALK THING, PIROUETTES, JUMPS IN THE AIR AND CLICKS HIS HEELS LIKE PETER PAN. SOMEHOW MANAGES TO STILL LOOK SUAVE.]
LJ: That’s what I’m sayin’!
( The above candy was in fact purchased in a Kumamoto 7-11. It was delicious. )* * *
