Someone check on Abbi from Broad City! Within the next couple of months, they will close all 360 BB&B stores and begin liquidating their shit. And starting this Wednesday, they will no longer accept their iconic coupons. So April 26th will be a new, confusing day in America. That’s the day when BB&B coupons, which really never expired, will expire for good – NPR

But I am sure that John Leguizamo will never ever have to open a door for himself again. Tricks are going to fight each other to open the door for him, hoping that he’ll toss a Benjamin their way – People
