Brotherly Love?


Libby Mae Brown: "I been workin' here at the D.Q. for about, um... eight months? Seven? I don't know, somethin' like that, it's fun. Just do the cones... make sundaes, make Blizzards, 'n... put stuff on 'em, 'n... see a lot of people come in, a lot of people come to the D.Q... burgers... ice cream... anything, you know? Cokes... just drive in and get a Coke, if you're thirsty."

My brother called and woke me up at 8am on a Saturday to tell me that he got me a job for when I arrive in Winnipeg. At the Dairy Queen. As awesome as this is of my brother, I really hope I don't have to take it. I haven't worked fast food since I was 15 and that was only for 3 months. I was really hoping I'd never have to do that again. I don't even eat fast food. Or meat. And I'm definitely not the Queen of Dairy. I prefer vanilla soy milk on my cereal.

If I do have to take it, I'll be wearing the pictured expression throughout every shift and quoting Libby Mae Brown whenever asked how I like working at the DQ.

I'm also going to make sure my name tag says Libby Mae.

Who is Libby Mae?

Libby Mae is a character from the film, Waiting for Guffman, played by Parker Posey.

Waiting for Guffman is an hilarious mockumentary about community theatre by the same guys who brought us This is Spinal Tap, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind.
