May I note the profusion of gayboi Dopers who live in Montreal.
You could pick and choose amongst our variety of types for maximum embarrasment value.
Just let me know what you need.

Kung Fu Lola, I am glad to hear that you and UDA have a plan.
It is also illegal here, in Ohio, to discriminate against someone due to thair sexual orientation. It just seems that people, especially men, feel it’s OK to make these kind of comments. With any luck you can rectify this situation.
Upside Down Amber, you sound like you have the makings of a good Store Manager. Anyone who is that open with people, and who enjoys her job should be great to work for.

_ **UPDATE! UPDATE!** _\*\*\*\*
Well I spoke to the asswipe’s ex-manager tonight and got some good feedback. For one, the manager (lets call him “C”) said he wasnt surprised by the duckfart’s actions. Then “C” went on to say that me placing a complaint with the district manager would not be viewed as being a trouble maker but more as in trying to make everyones working environment more possitive and healthy. He also liked the idea involving Lola as long as I keep it tasteful and low key. So in the end I plan of taking the “professional route” as **Davebear** mentioned but I’m still going to have a little fun.
**Barbarian** , congrats! Montreal is a beautiful city; very culturaly diverse and open to many walks of life. I am sure you wont regret your choice.
**Davebear** , well its nice to finally meet the man who flirts with my girlfriend. (Sits in rocking chair shinning shot gun) I dont mind it a bit (supressed nervous twitch.) Just kidding, Lola talks about you all the time. I dont mind the playfulness you both share at all. Oh and to go along with that “panty” thread you posted, Lola has the sexiest panties I have ever seen. (And she is the sexiest in them… she is gonna kill me!)
**Matt\_mcl** , I’dd like to rent 2 bitchy gays, 1 macho gay and 4 “making out” gays, oh yeah and a large order of fries, maximizedsized… LOL. You have to love Montreal and all us gay Dopers.
Well I am off to bed all (at 5:30 am), it was a crazy day and I need some sleep. I promise an update of Lola’s arrival this weekend… Night all

Well, **Upside\_Down\_Amber** , how about a semi-butch-depnding-on-the-day bi chick? I’d love to make duckfart suffer. 🙂

I doubt she’s gonna kill you, over that. She posted in the Souvenir thread about leaving a pair with you, so I don’t see why she’d object to you mentioning them. Besides, you’ve got the shotgun.
Well, I’m certainly happy to meet you, as well. But, I don’t see how (or why!) Lola could be talking about me, all the time. Seems like she’s always talking about _you_, here! Not that that’s a bad thing, because you obviously make her happy. 🙂
Hmmm. That’s the second time since I’ve been on this board that a young lady has become associated with the word shotgun, in my mind. I wonder if there’s an ominous pattern forming, here.

Do you ship internationally? And if I order more than one can you combine shipping?

Speaking of duckfarts…
Does anyone know if they echo?

I guess I don’t get it. How is making out in front of a guy who dislikes gays going to improve things?
People can think whatever they want. However, he did cross the line by making that comment to you. There’s got to be a better way of dealing with it, though, than rubbing his face in that which he dislikes.

Whenever I talk about what happened at SDMB today, I mention you, **Davebear**. You make this place so fun!
Not much to add to Cory’s update, other than she is filing a formal complaint and will probably squeeze my bum while we’re visiting her workplace on Friday.

It’s our pure northern air and almost-legal gay marriage. Er. I mean, our almost-decriminalized marijuana. Um. Er. Our bountiful flowing _waters_. Yeah. That’s it…

Well guys, not much new on this front. I spoke to my GM today and she said she would talk to Duckfart (I think thats his new name.) So I dont know whats going to happen and I am debating the choice to go higher in the Wendy’s ranks. We’ll see. She was also pissed that I didnt got to her first so I tried to explain it was a “gay thing.”
I was blessed with a highlight to my rather busy day. Our own **Matt\_mcl** payed me a visit this evening. He was nice enough to come back after he tried finding me during the day. Such a sweet guy. I was so shocked to see him and it was a definate pleasure to meet him. And I am happy to say that we’ll be getting together again this Friday, only this time with Lola and also (totally unconected fact) on the Duckfarts shift… Before I forget, Matt killed me when he asked who the “asshole” was… Thanks for brightening my day Matt.
Well its 4am and I have to finish the last minute cleaning because my darling Lola will be here Tomorrow night. Night all…
