Kind of a weird thing to show up in Achewood since there are no locations on the west coast (Though that could be a relatively recent development, they went through bankruptcy and contraction to focus on their core northeast markets a few years ago.)

There's a Friendly's gas station along I-29 on my way to work. Would that be the same chain?

Nah, it's similar to Denny's

When they passed out body parts in the comics today, I got Cathy's nose and Dick Tracy's private parts.
It’s sort of like Denny’s, but focused on ice cream and desserts rather than breakfast food. Sort of the place where you can take your kids and grandparents together and they can all find something they like. The food’s mostly mediocre, with some good items here and there (New England clam chowder, turkey melt).

And of course the ice cream is the highlight; I mentioned black raspberry earlier. Some cool sundaes too; my favs were a kids sundae where you had ice cream in a dish with a “hat” make of a waffle cone and a face made of M&M, so it looked like eating a wizard. I also liked the Jim Dandy, a banana split served in one of those gigantic daiquiri glasses.

Good times from small times.

The Conehead sundae was the best. There were always a few Reese's Pieces at the bottom of the dish, too, which was exactly the kind of secret thing that kids love. I haven't been to Friendly's in years. There's one near my doctor's office and sometimes I think about going in after an appointment, but I'm kinda worried it'd end up like Philippe and the pork chops.

I met one of the founders of Friendly’s about... oh god, a little over 20 years ago. He complimented my friend at the time and told him that he seemed like a very nice young woman. That friend is now a Member of Parliament in Canada. Life is really weird sometimes.

Thanks for reminding me how awful the high school van arch was.

What the gently caress is even going on here? He has a dream of throwing a molotov cocktail in the back of the van or something? It's bad: http://achewood.com/index.php?date=06282010

Not as bad as the two after that one though. Cringy homophobia trying to pass as bad surreal comedy.

I haven't updated FF in awhile, is that why that page looks almost devoid of content, or is it "clever" design of creating five screens high page of maybe a dozen words worth of content with no pictures? Not gonna lie, I kept expecting to see a portrait of Ray as I scrolled down.
