2. I'd Go In, Order, And Then Find Some Way To Embarrass Him Publicly
Tough questions, Snide Remark, Sarcastic Comment - Anything that would make the nightly news and reflect poorly on him.

4. Oh, I would too!
My husband would be smacking me for making snotty remarks very loudly so as to be heard by all around. Who could resist if such an opportunity presented itself??

6. I'm such an obnoxious dork
I'd go in and try to talk some sense into him.

8. I'm pretty sure...
the "obnoxious dork" in that scenario would NOT be you.

7. Worry that the world has stopped spinning on its axis...my favorite
restaurant is notoriously filled with a GLBT crowd...patrons and staff.

10. I'd find a new favorite restaurant.
Having Bush eat at my favorite restaurant would be like stepping in fresh dogshit from the biggest dog in the world wearing a brand new pair of suede Fabiano hiking/climbing boots: you might as well pitch them, since they will never truly be "clean" again.

11. I'd never go back to that restaurant again.
The big question for me would be would I bother to let the owner know why I'm never coming back.

In no uncertain terms, and LOUDLY, before I left.

15. Not Fair
Might not be the restaurant's fault - they might not want him there either...

12. Like that's gonna happen.
Edited on Mon Jan-31-05 11:30 PM by neebob
But if it did, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't let me in because I'd have to pass security AND pretend to worship him, and I'm told I'm not very good at concealing my true feelings.

14. My favorite local restaurant is Vietnamese
Knowing Shrubya, he'd probably have his dad pull some strings to get him out of going.

16. Am I already at the restaurant?
Depends. If I was so desperate for food at that place, I'd get carry out, but I'd go back and sit in the car and wait...Most likely I'd leave and get food elsewhere.

If I were already sitting there eating, I'd ask the waiter/waitress for a box and try to get the hell out of there as soon as possible.

17. No, you've just arrived and spot him as you go in
So you go in, or you turn around and leave.

I remember his little "y'see, if y'all buy some FOOD from this here restaurant, y'all are helpin' the ECONOMY" speeches that were shown on TV, and I'd have to be in the final stages of starvation before I'd walk into the middle of THAT.

28. I'd order three dozen and pay people to throw them at his face.

19. I would know it was a dream, because ** never goes
anywhere except when campaigning.

29. Even then, he never appears in public without being surrounded by an army
of bodyguards. And even those appearances are rare.

20. I would go in & order as usual
I would request a table out of his view & voice range though. Wouldn't want to spoil my dinner.

My favorite restaurant is owned by Dems. They would probably be repulsed that he was there too. Why should I punish them further by eating elsewhere & losing my business?

23. I think my favorite restaurant is the last place you'd find Dubya
However, if he were indeed there, I'd be very pleased. I'd walk over, grab his arm, and ask him whether he still thought that ignoring and rejecting Scott Ritter, millions of protestors, and the U.N. weapons inspectors was worth the lives of 1500 American men and women, and would he like to offer a fucking apology?

24. I'd drop dead of shock.
There's no meat at my favorite resuraunt. Somehow I doubt the faux-cowboy is big into veg*n food.

I think I'd ask him for an autograph, and present my "wanted" sticker with his ugly mug on it (it's taped to my car, so I could pull it off.) I'd be curious to see if he could read well enough to percieve the insult.

25. I'd stay
to see how the staff felt about him. Their combined responses would determine whether or not it'd remain my favorite restaurant.

27. I'd pay the bartender to send the Shrub a pitcher of beer. And a bowl-ful
of pretzels for the Pretzel-boy.

30. These are all nice little fantasies,
but if Bush were at your favorite restaurant, there's no way ordinary people would be allowed close to him. Any supposed patrons who were there participating in the photo op would have been well-vetted ahead of time. All of us with anti-Bush bumper stickers on our cars wouldn't be allowed in the parking lot in the first place.
