yeah intern_90120, you talk a big game, don't you? but are you willing to throw down and represent? say for example i challenged you to a breakdancing contest, and the loser had to either become a vegetarian (me) or become a carnivore, not omnivore, but carnivore (you), would you step up and represent?

:doing the robot:

I worked at a Greek restuarant for about three years. After cutting Gyros for the umpteenth time, I went veg for about two, but I'm back on the meat wagon and couldn't be happier.

I've got some friends who are veg and we get along fine.

I was cooking some sausage patties one day and my veg roommate asked me:
Him: "What is that? It smells good."
Me: "Falafel."
Him: "Awesome, really? Can I have some?"
Me: "Just kidding, it's sausage patties."
Him: "Man, why the hell would you say Falafel?"
Me: "Hey, if you can call your soycakes "Hamburgers," I can call my meat patties "Falafel."

Oh yeah and the Bible says in Romans: "And those that would not eat meat, they are weak."

WWJD? He'd eat some steak.

But really, as long as I don't have to put up with some diatribe about my decision to feast on flesh, NOT CRAP.

Otherwise, get bent. What're you gonna do? Kick my ass with the awesome power of carrots?

And now, a far side:

In sudden disgust, the three lionesses realized they had killed a tofudebeest--one of the Serengeti's obnoxious health antelopes.

All the love,

I decided to continue eating meat to accelerate the destruction of the planet. I want something done in my lifetime.

no worries there (re : "in my lifetime"). bush is back for four more. it's a lock at this point. a few weeks ago there was that leak, the story leaking out, that the US admin had told pakistan "you will catch us a high-value target during one of the three days of the dem convention". and then they fucking DID. they got the guy who looks 15, who had a $25 million bounty on him. and they got his laptop, which said that al qaeda was going to attack a handful of places in NYC and DC. and now we put up some security. and guess what? bush caught a high-value target. he got the laptop, he foiled their evil plot. he also today in a press conference stated that he wants to follow the 9/11 comission's idea and create ANOTHER SECTION OF GOVERNMENT! this guy, this worst president in forever, he creates the department of homeland security, now he creates this new department to oversee it and the other intel branches. BUSH IS PROPOSING OUR NEW INTEL SCHEME! AAAARRRGHHH!

he's so re-elected at this point. it's sad. but i don't doubt it. i'm like 75% sure at this point, that he's back for four more years of mayhem and long-term fucking.

eat your meat. eat your pudding, too, but eat your meat. smoke your cigarettes. stop exercising. don't get out of bed. stop breathing. give me all your stuff before you do all this, okay? this is the joke paragraph. the rest is for serious.

also, please ignore this post as it is miserably off-topic.

I've been a vegetarian for the past eight years. So I vote not crap. There are a lot of things I feel I can live without and meat is one of them. Simple as that. I don't think I'll ever need a huge SUV, cable TV, $300 shoes, shopping for the sake of owning more things, etc, and then put meat on that list somewhere.

And just like everyone, there are of course the things I can't live without. Beer, records, guitars.

You look horrible. Maybe it's your diet.

Not crap, although I'm not a vegetarian

I have, however, dabbled, and still frequent many veg eateries as my roommate is a vegetarian. It's a healthy way of living, and a lot of the food is delicious, plus you don't get the bloated/gaseous/heartburn etc etc feeling you do when gorging on a steak/hamburger/etc.

Trader Joe's has these vegan trail mix/chocolate chip cookies that are da bomb...

My main reason for not 'following the light' has to do with some of the Carne Asada's that you can get here in Tucson. And well-cooked pork.

For a small time, yes, but that's because the meat industry is breeding animals like cows, chickens etc at a rate suitable for consumers. If the demand dropped then so would the breeding. I can't tell you how many people have said that the country would be "overrun by cows" if everyone turned vegetarian.

Funny you should mention carrots:

Not Crap, but I can't make it work for me.

I've gone vegetarian off and on, but the longest period was two weeks. I'm not really a fan of vegetables, and I don't think that eating nothing but Mac&Cheese, falafel, and potatoes can be good for you. Plus, it's hard when you're unemployed.

I recommend a can of 69 cent goya black beans with some Cholula hot sauce and chips (el Ranchero for quality and value, of course). Microwaved and chomped.

mmmm.
