Logan, vegetarians, etc.

Feb 06, 2007 11:52

I'm thinking that sooner or later I'm gonna have to do a story in which Logan confronts vegetarians and goes apeshit. ("Just what the *&^% is the matter with you people? You know how I know we're supposed to eat animals? Because they're made of *&^%ing meat.") I'll consider it therapy. And revenge against a vegan who recently gave me shit for ( Read more... )

I've always wondered what Logan would have made of that weird cult in that X-Files episode who bought beef cattle and raised them as pets.

I like meat. But vegetarians can stay healthy if they eat right - lots of people don't put the research in to find ways to stay healthy. There seems to be the faddish ones who are vegetarian in a faddish way, they drop like flies when winter comes. But the serious, hummus-eating, mushroom-hunting ones? Hale and hearty, if a little gassy.

Yep, I suspect they're not careful about their vitamins or some such. Oy. I can't say anything to them about it, hence the anonymous Internet bitching. Though I'm thinking that tomorrow at work I may start loudly proclaiming how I owe my iron constitution to vitamins, my peasant heritage and my handknitted wool socks.

Now, I'm young and entitled, therefore, to being foolish and stupid - but I was pretty sure, and this could just be me, that our canine teeth were purposefully evolved/created so that we could TEAR MEAT OFF OF BONES IN LARGE, HEARTY CHUNKS?

Maybe it's just me.

I'm also rather curious as to what the sheep would be doing with the excess wool it would save if you didn't knit.

Yep, our teeth say "omnivore," no doubt about it. Mine also say "Needed braces and didn't get them" and "Start saving for dentures now, chickie." I wouldn't care about the staff vegs so much if they weren't all dropping like flies, thereby creating more work for me, and/or bringing some hideous bran/black bean/carob concoction to office parties and calling it "brownies." Some things are just unforgivable.

As I repetitively told the people behind the counter in the student center yesterday: "Carob is not chocolate! You tard."

Eww. Why would your coworkers do that to you? That's just mean, really.

You crack me up.

You definitely need to write a "Logan vs the Vegetarians" story.

Does no one in your office associate the constant calling-in-sick with, oh, anything?

God only knows what the others think. I get the feeling they're just happy to be alive and ambulatory. From our sick day stats, you'd think we worked for the CDC handling vials of plague. Jesus. I can only imagine what the office would be like if we hadn't all had flu shots. Me, I feel great, if a tad crabby. I just want to go into the office and not have to immediately ask, "So who's out tonight?"

I have a good vegan story. I took some of my college students out on a field trip, which ended up being quite possibly the worst trip I've ever been on. We spent about a week working near a river in Colorado. Since we were camping, I cooked for the kids every night. Me, I'm carnivorous. Give me rare meat and a beer and I'll be thrilled. Throw in whiskey and a cigar or my pipe for dessert and I'll think life can't get any better. But... since one of the students was a vegan, I made special meals for her. It's hard enough cooking over an open fire, but even I can be nice sometimes, so I made her special rabbit food. She wasn't happy with that. She had to lecture the rest of the group about the evils of meat. We ignored her. She glared at us angrily. We didn't care ( ... )
