Aw, that's nice. Also the early Gloomcookie comics (with Ted Naifeh doing the art) are the best!
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
Why would a person have rancor toward vegans? Maybe I don't want to know.
I just found out that my BIL has only consumed raw foods for the last 6 months or so. We have had a couple family dinner things during that time and both times he claimed he wasn't hungry. The next time I see him I'm going to yell at him for not letting me know. It is not a big deal to assure that my loved ones have food to eat when they visit me! He had been a vegetarian for many years, the only raw thing is new. He said after a couple months he couldn't believe how different food tasted. Of course, SIL could have told me too. They are gonna hear about it!

After two weeks with my head in a dark theater, I was trying to catch up, and see what the delegate count is. Um. Aside from SuperDelegate pledges, why is each major website have a completely different count?
Also, save digging into Minearverse, whats the word on the WGA strike?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It's essentially over unless they say it's not.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
There's a ridiculous amount of rancor toward vegans there that I really don't need to waste my time trying to understand.
no you don't. actually, I'm not sure why anyone gets hyper over what anyone else eats. I mean, you want your kids to eat well, and you want them to understand food, but that is about it. Maybe you are concern about what an SO eats, but it is for health reasons- and really you aren't going to say anything

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

One quote:
I have no love for vegan self-righteousness, and too many Salonistas have drunk deeply of that Kool-Aid. Your dietary preference is arbitrary, capricious, and nutritionally unsound; it is sublimated anorexia in a very thin disguise. Your ideas are bad and you should feel bad.
Several others in similar veins. Also variations of "vegans are all skinny and malnourished," "vegans are crazy new-age crystal-wearers," and "vegans are all fat."

It's in the letters for a review of Skinny Bitch, which is a rather mockable book. It advertises itself as a diet book, then about five chapters in, you realize that the diet it's advocating is vegan. Also, it gives a list of "vegan junk food" that it's OK to eat, much of which is just as fattening as the non-vegan equivalent (I sometimes buy Newman-O's, which are like vegan Oreos, but I'm under no illusion that they're even vaguely healthy). Plus, if you bother to work out the calorie counts of the sample menus they give, it generally works out to less than 1000 calories a day. As a diet book, it's awful, and as a vegan book, it's also pretty awful.
