Had at least one customer livid that we had lost their photos ... only to realize they were at the wrong drugstore on that corner.

Ah, there it is! Thought I had fully expanded the thread.

I used to work at the CVS in Henrietta that was across from an Eckerd's/Rite-Aid, a Walgreen's and the East Henrietta Wegmans ... before it moved down the street a bit.

Even further back, several Eckerd's were once Fay's!

Set Review: I still can’t believe there’s a β€˜Project Hail Mary’ Lego set | Popculturology If you love Andy Weir’s book and can’t wait to see the movie, you need to check out Ryan Gosling in minifigure form.

I also can’t believe it took this long to get a Ryan Gosling Lego minifig.

Where were the Blue Valentine sets?!

We’ll keep fighting for the Choco Taco, but these are a fun new Taco Bell dessert.

That Red Roof! Those Tiffany Lamps! It’s a Pizza Hut From the Past.

"There is no official directory of Pizza Hut Classics. Yum Brands does not promote or even acknowledge their existence on its website. They are like wormholes in the chain restaurant galaxy, portals to the past found by serendipity."

I'm still looking for investors in my plan to buy Pizza Hut ...

Just learned that the main character in the CBS series Tracker is not actually named Tracker.

It's much closer to an elevated Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese β€” which has always been my go-to McDonald's burger over the Big Mac.

She’s hoping for a recurring SNL character Γ  la Domingo or Lisa from Temecula (β€œThat’s the dream”) and took a step toward that goal in February, when she made her second β€œWeekend Update” appearance as one-half of the breathless, awkward β€œCouple Who Just Hooked Up.”

And as one of the "comedy fans [who] discuss Saturday Night Live like it’s the NFL," I gotta once again point out how impressive it is that Padilla has become SNL's star without a breakout recurring character.

Ashley Padilla Is Escalating Things β€œYou want me to be a mom in your sketch?” asks SNL’s star sophomore. β€œI will beg you to let me.”

"I get to make money doing comedy. I’m surrounded by the funniest fucking people you can imagine. There’s an office for us to go to, to write our comedy. We get to be funny on television and then do it again the week after."

Thanks to @ralter.bsky.social, we finally have an Ashley Padilla profile.

Gotta commit on the ascender on that first letter. It's somehow too short to be an "h" and too long to be an "n."
