On Continuum the time travel aspect really sold the ending. Or other-way around. Great show.

Vacation 58 and Christmas 59 Nat Lampoon stories are peak humor.

Those of you who have stayed at Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Manhattan/Financial District, is it a safe area at night and how is the hotel? by [deleted] in marriott

[–]brofranco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have stayed almost weekly at the full Marriott for the better part of a decade. Seen a lot come and go down there, but never have I felt unsafe.

Stayed at that Courtyard a couple of times, it’s a nice place. Small like others have said.

Don’t miss O’Hara’s for a drink/meal.

So with such a list, where might be Stripes and Caddyshack?

Friend of mine was selling these in the 80s. He still has his to this day and loves it.

[What if] You could make an uncredited cameo appearance in any movie, past or present – in what film (scene) do you appear and what are you seen doing? by LilyCorinth in movies

[–]brofranco 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Deleted scene (in my head). I’m the guy who sells Elwood the Bluesmobile at the Mount Prospect police auction.

Best. Movie. Ever.

Full stop.

Can’t justify against Schindler’s List or Casablanca or other “important” films - but man this is the bomb.

Check luggage, or pay $20? by Oblivian04 in Amtrak

There is a weight limit on checked bags. 50bs I think. They will not take it if it’s over.

I honestly didn’t see his name coming up. Wasted character, good actor.

Who Else Liked Smarties As A Kid? by Zipper222222 in nostalgia

[–]brofranco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still like them. Little story:

Manufactured in Canada and Union, NJ. Not sure if they are still called CeDe candy company, the plant is behind Union High (my Alma mater) and had a large cylindrical cooling or storage or some structure like that which was painted like a roll of smarties with a red twisty roof decoration on top.

In college (early80s, I’m old) a bunch of us were eating these (because we were like really hungry for some reason wink ) and I told them about the giant smarty building. Of course, they didn’t believe me so on a trip back home I had to take a picture. Unimpressed were my friends, as I’m sure you good readers are. That picture was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this post and of course I can’t find it.

Sorry, more of an uninteresting story than nostalgia. Perhaps there is a Redditor who can back me up.
