From the amount of shit you get from the DMs and RDOs when you miss goal, you'd think that monkeys already knew how to do this....

Oh right, that was right around the time of that unexplained outbreak of Ebola.

Buy a bundle, or the monkey will fling feces at you.

The intersection has been known as "Monkey Junction" for almost seventy years thanks to a gas station that was located there from the late 1930s through the mid 1940's. The station, run by Dina and Jack Spindle, kept live monkeys in order to attract customers from a bus that passed by on the way to and from Carolina Beach, which lies several miles south of the junction. The bus driver would stop near the station and announce "Monkey Junction". Soldiers stationed at nearby Fort Fisher were also regular customers who enjoyed being entertained by the monkeys."
I hope they sold condoms there then........

Soon enough, Chris. Soon enough

There are entire swarths of the country without a BBI.... and that is good. And most of the stores I have had the pleasure of dealing with are gone.

Didn't Tony Soprano already say that BBI had monkeys for managers?

it's not in inventory

by that standard it doesnt exist in the store in the first place

they just want to make money off of it, sure, just to give blockbuster money

but we all know how foolish that would be

well, not all of us, davidnewly, bbsm123456, and the millions of bbv 4-lifers that reside here still
