Where they all are now

A Faberge egg is included in the James Bond film Octopussy.

I met Joey Chestnut in 2019

I thought about Joey Chestnut when I read this Washington Post Instragram post. I met him in 2019 when he was touring Hooters promoting their all-you-can eat wings. He ate 230 wing pieces in an hour which was a personal record for him.

He was very friendly and unpretentious. He even stayed around after the wing-eating was over.

Divine eats poop in Pink Flamingos

I was reminded about the scene in Pink Flamingos where Divine eats dog poop by this tweet from David Simon.

I live in Baltimore and always enjoy recognizing local places in films. As many responses to the tweet said, there ought to be a plaque there.
