Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I have to say, I can't say I've ever encountered one of these "forcing the world to accomodate their choices" vegans.

I have, she was a nightmare. A sister of a friend of mine. She was invited over for dinner, my friend made a special vegan entree and made sure that the nibbles and dessert were vegan as well. The sister had the nerve to complain that my friend offered whipped cream (separately) with dessert.

Art Crawl!!!

Cats are obligate carnivores and cannot live vegan.

If you're going to be that way you should have a herbivorous pet. Rabbits can make v. nice housepets and are also herbivorous.

Except the evil one my brother's ex-girlfriend had who tried to take a chunk out of my ankle.

Why? Why did I look at photos of myself from the reading? WHY? WHY?

I think that the photo of paperdol behind the podium is great. She looks like the sexy librarian in a Playboy cartoon: intellectual and bookish, but also cute, curvy and bursting with, um, potential.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Basically, it's a vile thing that only people who are drink off their asses eat.

AND darn tasty.

So do I! I wish I could have attended the reading.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Thank goodness that donair pizza was explained! (Even if it's yet one more thing that I can't have.) I especially like the part about the pita being more ceremonial than anything else....

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Seattle has it every other week (alternate weeks are recycling). It's yard waste plus non-meat food waste and food-soiled paper products like empty pizza boxes and used paper towels.

This is what we have in SF, but it's every week with garbage and recycling. Depending on my cooking energy/laziness, it can take awhile for me to fill up the little undersink can. Of late, the cleaners have taken to empyting this into the big can in the garage for me. Just one of the things that makes me think they are worth every penny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Donair is to gyros as meatloaf is to real meat.

Suffice it to say, no fan. I can't imagine what it could be good for on a pizza.

Paperdol, a) he's looking for something to sneak your monkey away in and b) won't he be terribly embarassed everyone can look at his picture. But when one chants "Facebook!" as the shutter clicks, expectation of privacy slides to nil. Such is the downside of hanging with people who hang with each other online.

However, the really important lesson to be learnt from those pictures is that a) I need longer skirts or b) I need to pay more attention to how my legs are arranged.
