but I find myself wondering... How many of you have done what I do? While walking through the mall, I look for the SRU store. Not seriously, mind you... well, sort of not seriously. I actually wouldn't know what to do if I actually found one. I know it's just fiction, but... you know?

Your not by yourself on that one. I've read so many stories with that store and the wizard I would probably run if I ever saw the store in a mall. And that is not running to the store either.

Reality check.
Cathy, I have a very tenuous hold on reality at the best of times. I'm not going to tempt fate by entering the realms of virtual lunacy by deliberately seeking out a real indication of insanity such as a door in some dark corner leading to a shop run by an old individual in a tatty bath-robe. Thanks but no thanks Cathy.

Bevs.
Fictional?
Nope. That's just what The Wizard wants you to think.
"In this universe there are many strange interesting things. I like to think I am one of those Strange interesting things. "
I Believe ...
... that shop was in the mall that's very close to me. In fact, in another universe my wife and I met The Wizard there. See Portia and the Double Whammy for details. I'm still looking in this universe. Who knows?

Looking for the hiding places
When on the train, bus or riding in the car, I look for places to hide.

Since truth
is often stranger than fiction, yes I do look. After all Cathy did find Bikini Beach, but unfortunately Grandmother and Anya weren't running the place. Besides like a commenter said, that Old Man had a reputation for being a heck of a trickster. You may think you're getting what you want, but as he points out as you walk though the door he has a real good idea of how the future is going to turn out. With the Wizard, yes, the deck is stacked, loaded, and armed!
Would I go in? I don't think I could help myself. Buy what's he's offering? That's a tough one. Refer to what I said about the deck of cards being stacked against you. Being respectful and not a smart arse would be difficult because I would be trying to get a treat without getting a trick.
It's the old genie wish question again, but in this case it's a blind grab-bag with whatever he offers you.
Important safety tip! If he tells you to read all the directions, pull out the magnifying glass and read every line ... twice!
