"kept the loot in an empty Cheetos bag"
That is simply impossible. How can you keep anything in an empty bag?
That picture is worth an essay all by itself.
Re: the picture... let me guess: L train station, somewhere near Williamsburg, fuckin' hipsters with too much time.
What? Brangelina took Xanax, Paxil, Midol and Prilosec to see The Little Mermaid on Brodaway?
...and the Prilosec/Midol combo gave her diarrhea for more than just the intermission. And hence, Branagelina begat their next child.
