MetaFilter Comment Win
The following was copied from a discussion on Metafilter about the newly passed gay marriage bill in NH. If you’re from any of the New England states you’ll appreciate this:
In the family that is the New England states, you can think of NH as the crazy possibly-drunk uncle who has some Theories regarding The Fucking Government.This is a theme worth expanding upon:
Connecticut is the self-absorbed sister who married into money and only acknowledges the family grudgingly and when it’s convenient for her.
Maine is the dirtball cousin who still wears metal t-shirts and sells dime bags of ditch weed out of his rotted-out sedan, but occasionally shocks you with an astute observation.
Massachusetts is the pretentious, liberal brother-in-law who keeps issues of Wine Spectator on the toilet cistern and is secretly ashamed of his working-class parents.
Rhode Island is the interesting aunt who’s done a million things, but everyone’s worried about her because she’s in early middle-age and still doesn’t have a plan for herself.
Vermont is the hippy brother whom everyone thinks is just great in theory, but nobody’s really that close with him because if you spend too much time together his schtick gets on your nerves.

Twilight Sequel Found In Trash
Sounds about right to me:
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A St. Louis beauty salon owner accidentally happened upon one of the hottest Hollywood scripts — the pages from an upcoming “Twilight” sequel — in a trash bin.
Casey Ray found two scripts, one for the vampire sequel “New Moon” and one for a different movie titled “Memoirs.” She decided to return them to the studio making the films. In return, she was invited to attend the movies’ premieres, her lawyer said.
Wow thanks. In return for not “leaking” these I get to attend your crappy movies for free on the first night? Hot Dog!!
HEADLINE – Bacon Prices Plummet
Good news for bacon lovers.
CAIRO – Egypt began slaughtering the roughly 300,000 pigs in the country Wednesday as a precaution against swine flu even though no cases have been reported here, infuriating farmers who resisted the move and demanded compensation.
Hope you like BLT’s. We’ll be swimming in them soon.
