Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tales

Meet Gary James. Mr. James owns a restaurant in Oklahoma. He's openly stated that he doesn't want gay people coming to his business. He's also banned disabled people from his restaurant. You don't want to know what he thinks of anyone on welfare.

"The restaurant’s official t-shirt makes it clear that a “f*ggot” isn’t welcome in James’s establishment. It features that word, the N-word, and threatens violence against Muslims, Democrats, and members of many minority groups."

But this is the Internet, and sometimes bad people get at least a little payback. People have taken to Yelp to give "positive" reviews of all the gay-friendly activities there. It's pretty amusing to read through:

The Urinal cameras are a bit surprising but over all a fun idea. The best part is seeing your junk broadcast on the big screen. I was lucky enough to "Meat" (pun intended) the owner after a quick toe tap in the stall. He must be a boxer, great head movement!

And:

I'm a little concerned about the size of the glory holes in the men's room. Most black men can't fit. Will you please fix this?

In totally unrelated news, I got three Graze boxes while sick. So many snacks to try!

New things:
Apple Cosmo (lime infused raisins, cranberries, and apple)
Mango Chutney (fruity mango chutney with black pepper dippers)
Chocolate Orange (roasted hazels, orange infused raisins, and dark chocolate buttons)
Cherry Fudge Sundae (chocolate fudge, blanched almonds, cherry infused raisins, and cherries)
Boston Baguettes (BBQ relish with tomato breadsticks)
Dark Rocky Road (pecan nuts, dark chocolate buttons, and cranberries)
Cinnamon Pretzel (poppyseed pretzels and cinnamon and honey almonds)
Tropical Sundae (pineapple, mango, and banana coins) -- repeat?
Scandinavian Forest (blueberries, lingonberries, cherry infused raisins and apple) -- repeat?

Repeats:
Apple Cinnamon Flapjack (MMMM, shared with my mother)
Tropical Daiquiri
BBQ Corn

For all those snacks, I paid a total of $18 ($6 x 3), postage included. I hate feeling like I'm trying to sell something, but I love this service so much. Interested in trying it yourself? Use this code and your first (and fifth, if you continue) box is free!

Disclaimer: I get a dollar to use or donate for everyone who uses that code. Use the code! I shall get rich one dollar at a time! Bwahahaha!

Perhaps the show is more fittingly named than anyone knew. Duck DyNASTY.

GQ did an interview with Phil Robertson, star of the show. In it he compared being gay to bestiality and made other such comments.

“Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”

“It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.”

“We never, ever judge someone on who’s going to heaven, hell. That’s the Almighty’s job. We just love ‘em, give ‘em the good news about Jesus—whether they’re homosexuals, drunks, terrorists. We let God sort ‘em out later, you see what I’m saying?”

Sigh. "homosexuals, drunks, terrorists".

The one bright point of this is that A&E has placed him on “indefinite hiatus” because of this.

In semi-related news, I'm still lacking in a copy of The Hunger Gays, so I started something else. It's mighty spiffy and I'm 20% through it already, so if/when I get a copy of it, I'll be able to start it soon. I'm starting to think I won't get it though -- it's gotten the most awful reviews, so I think maybe the publisher has been burned enough and isn't seeking out more. Sad!
