May 2014

It's actually no brown M&M's and that was in the contract to check if the contract was being followed

“When Roth would arrive at a new venue, he’d immediately walk backstage and glance at the M&M bowl. If he saw a brown M&M, he’d demand a line check of the entire production. “Guaranteed you’re going to arrive at a technical error,” he said. “They didn’t read the contract… Sometimes it would threaten to just destroy the whole show.”

What do you see as the real issue? gollygee May 2014 #33

I would like to hear what you think the 'real issue' is. n/t bloom May 2014 #57

Every last person in society is misogynist to some degree. Gravitycollapse May 2014 #28

Hmm gollygee May 2014 #31

It doesn't necessarily need to be a conscious act or thought. Gravitycollapse May 2014 #35

For the fully literate, I'm pretty sure it does Major Nikon May 2014 #46

Are you telling me that a significant percentage of men don't think women are inferior? Spider Jerusalem May 2014 #71

Interesting how you articulated that question Major Nikon May 2014 #73

I'm quite sure I know what I'm saying Major Nikon May 2014 #75

I see that you're a bit obtuse. Spider Jerusalem May 2014 #76
