what would you do ? gaysso I'm watching what would you do? the show where they like see if people will step in in different situations. they always tape in ny or nj but today they were in Texas . one of the scenarios was a gay couple with kids and the waitress either refused to serve them or was really rude and telling them they were horrible people.
so a couple of surprising things...
1. in 29 states businesses can refuse to serve gays ...astonishing
2. only 6 states restrict gay adoption
anywho back to the show. in Texas like 60 % or something of the people stepped up to support the gay couple but when they did it in ny only like15 % did. i know its totally not a scientific experiment but I was still surprised.
I love this show

I wonder were in Texas.... To Be honest % doesn't mean anything in this case the sampling for this show is way to small.... Now if you toss that out I think more people in "The South" if you count Texas in that are more curteious (spell checker can't find the right smelling argh)... What I mean is that they have a history of kids growing up with slaves, black Maids and thinking that these people are not equal but you still treat them with respect... Think of it this way you love your dog or your cat but it isn't equal to you.... Is that history sometime and Generations away yeah sure... But it isn't really being polite but everyone gets talked to the same.... Or maybe they knew there was a camera crew who knows.....

maybe people in NY dislike confrontation more than they dislike discrimination?

Movie Theaters and BridesmaidsMe and (e:mk) went to see Bridesmaids tonight at the MapleRidge AMC theater. I have not been to that theater in years I think and wow it is way cheaper than Regal. It is only 6.75 versus 10 at Regal. But it is not stadium seating and thus is much less comfortable for someone of my height. I think the 10 is prolly worth it for the comfort but still I was shocked it was so much cheaper. I don't like that there is not bucket size popcorn at AMC either. It is insane. Why not? Who doesn't prefer to eat out of a bucket? I swear popcorn does not taste even half as good out of a bag as out of a troughlike bucket! I guess it is back to Regal or Dipson for me and their huge size buckets!
Despite the lack of a bucket, Bridesmaids was hilarious. I seriously loved it! I love Kristen Wiig though but honestly I laughed a lot. Like a lot lot. I would totally see it again! It was so funny!

I think the real question is what do you do with the bucket later? I think you should return it to the counter for a refund of 10.00 - 6.75 = $3.25 I am surprised you didn't know about this.

LOL @ (e:matthew)'s gaffe below.
I didn't realize who Kirsten Wiig was till I saw the trailer. I like her as well! I thought you were talking about that singer, Whigfield.

the graveyardwow walking around the river today with hollandaise I come across a stuffed animal graveyard
tinypliny - 05/26/11 21:53
Whoa, (e:strip) was full of pictures of rotting stuffed animals by the river, last week. Still, it doesn't come close to "the weekly roadkill (tm)" series.

It is where the boy drowned last summer. I blogged about it at the time. There are signs now warning people of the dangerous current in the pond.

odd wonder what the story behind that is... It doesn't look like a memorial where someone died and they left stuff.....
