WTF, Dave?  He's talking about buying cookies, not looking to hook up 
with children.

Brownies are based in Scottish culture.  The term relates to fairies and 
there is nothing racial about it.  And no, the term fairies (aka 
"faeries") does not in any way relate to people who are gay.  There's 
nothing derogatory.  Don't know why you jumped to racist blather.  Ed is 
talking about buying cookies.
