Fievel Getcha Ten - Episode 102

Easy Money magazine cover. Painting of a smiling blond woman in a slinky red dress, bald man with a visor examining a dollar bill, a shady looking man in a bowler hat with a cigarette in his mouth and a slip of paper in his hat band. All of them inside the shape of a dollar sign with dice and cards around them, on a black background.

A boy stumbles into the world of vice, from pennies to billiards to pinball. Will Falk rescue him in time? Why couldn't you become a jazz singer? Listen to find out!

Fievel Getcha Ten, episode 102 of This Gun in My Hand, was diced and pinned by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Little Heist in the Big Woods and Other Revisionist Atrocities. What are my stakes when I’m betting? This Gun in My Hand!

Show Notes:
1. Toon: The Cartoon Role-Playing Game by Greg Costikyan and Warren Spector includes “Chutzpah” as a character attribute.

2. The text for the fake commercial for Benzedrine Sulfate, not counting the disclaimer at the end, is taken almost verbatim from a print ad in California Western Medicine, Volume 62 (April 1945).
