Pinback's Stomach 2K6!

It was the special over at Border Grill, the restaurant put together by the "Too Hot Tamales". It was braised chicken, marinated in coriander and served with a rojo mole sauce and a mushroom corn cake.

I could not resist the description, no, but I am not going to Border Grill and not ordering meat. It's just a thing with me. Border Grill is an experience, which I will not temper for any spiritual quest.

Yes! Was there something special about it, or did you feel an actual, physical craving for flesh? Because if it's the latter, well, we've all been there and experienced that ourselves.

We can contribute to this thread.

Please tell us more about this chicken lunch that brought you back into the meat-eating fold after 25 days.

illuminating the fact that the less you get, the less you realize you need to be happy.

Then how come all those starving peoples in Eastern Africa aren't the happiest motherfuckers on the planet?

I thought an exercise in restraint would be good for illuminating the fact that the less you get, the less you realize you need to be happy. I think it was a success. I still continue it, but there's a difference between "restraint" and "giving something up... forever!"

(Specifically, this is a trap known all-too-well to dieters. "Eh, I had one bite of ice cream. I broke my diet! It's a failure! Might as well eat the entire rest of the tub now, and become one again.")

Why did you bother to give stuff up, then?

I'm resisting my urge to write messages on this BBS that don't have jokes or riddles in them. Funnily enough, this message is exactly one of those posts. A time waster. Something I should have aborted three lines ago.

I'm not engaging in any "willpower strengthening".

How's that willpower strengthening thing going?

I had chicken for lunch today, so that's the end of the meat thing. What was the final tally, then?

Booze: 7 days.
Meat: 25 days.

Thank you all for playing: PINBACK'S STOMACH 2K6!

I also gave up smoking. But as I was averaging about three packs a month, I'm not sure that really counts as climbing Mt. Everest either.

Guest makes a good point. Some people are genuinely addicted to caffeine (perhaps coffee-specific caffeine), and it was inappropriate for me to say that it's "easy" to give up.

For me it was easy, just because, when I had coffee in the morning, it was never because "DAMN I NEED COFFEE! Gotta get GOIN'! Gotta be a MOVER AND A SHAKER!! AUGHGHH COFFEE!!!"

It was just, you know... because it was there. I never felt addicted to caffeine, and since I haven't hardly thought about it since I changed my routine, I guess it's true.

I also gave up soda. Same deal. Wasn't in love with it, just had it cuz it was there. Now water is there instead.

Yes, I had a few beers tonight. And I ate too much hummus. So, you know what they say. "Everything in moderation, including moderation." BAM. Moderation story.

No, seriously, man, what's your secret?

Right! The correct answer was:

ALCOHOL!

(Anchor Steam Beer, to be specific!)

Thank you for playing, and God bless.

I think you're all gonna have your answer in about three, four hours, if you catch my drift.

I always looked at it like there was a great race to eliminate species. I've always mainted the faster we consumed them, the sooner better, funner and more tasty animals/species would come along. I think once all the fish are eaten we are really in store for a treat. And hopefully we won't need boats to catch them.
