Homo / Chow Cookies and Ice Cream

Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 3:21 PM

Ben & Jerry's celebrates gay marriage in Vermont, with Chubby Hubby flavor changed to Hubby Hubby.

And here at home, the (awesome) Columbia City Bakery is selling “Equality Cookies” (big, heart-shaped, shortbread) to raise money to support the approval of Referendum 71. They say, "The staff and ownership of our little bakery feel strongly that Washington’s Domestic Partnership Law needs to be preserved, and after putting our heads together we came up with this sweet idea." From now until November, get your Equality Cookies for $1.50 each, with $1 from each one going directly to Washington Families Standing Together.

How sweet is that! Essentially, Columbia City Bakery is donating the labor to make each cookie and their profit.

Yeah! You won't find any of those fancy cupcake bakeries doing that. ;-)

C'mon Cupcake Royale, that was clearly a double dare at #2

This is becoming borderline ridiculous. Another place to avoid. On the positive side of things, less visits to the dentist.

@5 Just think of it as a new diet. You'll be the skinniest, stupid Republican in the whole country!

I hope your gay kid grows up, gets married, and has his wedding catered by Columbia City Bakery.

Oh, that Loveschild. What a kidder. She doesn't need to go to the dentist: She had all her teeth pulled and got a full set of dentures years ago.

You would not believe what a baby she was at the dentist's office: Biting, screaming, crying, swearing - and that was just in the waiting room. She took the LORD's name in vain so many times they finally just put her under (it was a Christian dentist that she found in her Christian phone book, and I think she bought him to the brink of atheism with her carrying on)

Of course, she was too cheap for good dentures, and just got some of those welfare ones. They don't fit, and they make her sound weird. That, combined with her obesity and her strange odor (I've bought her cases of FDS, but she simply won't use it) cause people to avoid her, even at church.

It's unfair, I know, but people are funny that way, aren't they? I think that her social isolation - and they fact her husband turned out gay - are what make her so irrational and bitter.

But still, it's a shame: Clean up up, get her in a fresh caftan and put her good wig on, and she's not a bad-looking woman. I've tried hooking her up with Lord Basil - believe me, they'd be great together, and doesn't care about odor - but she won't budge. Probably because he's not a Christian.
