Jolt Country

I've put a lot in my mouth since the ball dropped to ring in 2006, nobody denying that. However, two things I haven't put in my mouth, are BOOZE and the FLESH of DEAD ANIMALS!

Which one will I put into my mouth first?? PLAY GAME OF PINBACK OF EAT!!

i'll say meat, probably that homeless guy Tyrones big black cock.

You are slipping. Ben isn't gay. He isn't anything right now. But gay and bi-racial? Come on now, Holmes. You're better than that.

Oh. I put the check for your car in the mail. I could tell you this over Yahoo IM, but that program just likes getting its tendrils into everything once I start it up, so.

So.

This is wonderfully put.

I am voting "Alcohol" for five reasons:

1. I prepare most of my own meals, so the ingredient list is fairly easy to control.

2. My cousin comes into town for a visit this weekend.

3. I go to visit my grandparents the following weekend.

4. My mother comes into town two weekends later.

5. I have not endured a lifelong struggle with meat.

You haven't tried. I'd love to be a vegetarian, but the laziness factor, and the fact that I hate 50% of the available vegetables put rather a damper on things. I was a vegetarian once for 1.5 years, and it went ok, but was diagnosed as severely anemic, and that was all the excuse I needed to fall off the wagon. The next time I tried, the laziness twisted things so that every meal every day was a can of SpaghettiOs and a bag of chips (kettle fried). I actually cook now, but the laziness isn't going to deal with this 2 person/2 meals bullshit. I really just try and cut down ehere I can. Veggie entrees at Asian restaurants, spilitting meat with Robb and taking 1/4 of the cut. It's doable, I'd rather give up meat than alcohol, but not easy.

Why give it up, it's so tasty and good for you? Why deprive yourself of something for no good reason. drikning I can understand giving up. But meat... why?

Because, although I really don't have a problem with animals being raised for food, they are slaughtered very inhumanely. That's the biggest one for me, although others will quote to you how the land needed to raise grains or veggies for a family is paltry to the land needed to raise beef for a family, To me, the cattle are still grazing on range, which was there anyway, the land is not tilled, and there are not constant rounds of insecticides applied. A range is much easier transformed back into a more natural state than a veggie field, unless the soil is severely compacted by overgrazing. For every cattle field taking up rain forest area in Costa Rica, I saw bananas, and more likely, coffee. I think it would be easier, and more healthy, to give up coffee than meat.

The big one for me is seafood, because there isn't enough info on sea communities, and we tend to learn to late when we have taken too much. Just going into a natural ecosystem and taking whatever you find seems unwise, and, although fish farms have their own problems, it's not on the same scale.

Here's a link that explains alot, and that nobody will read.

I read that link, and it was very informative.

I am trying the vegetarian lifestyle just for an adventure. Why not, right? Also, there is some lingering guilt about killing things what don't need to be killed.

I have also given up coffee, but failed to add that to the list, because, I mean, that's pretty easy to give up.

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.

Whoa, somebody catch me! I've been positively knocked backwards with shock!

Veal is considered a box lunch.

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

Okay!

Right! The correct answer was:

ALCOHOL!

(Anchor Steam Beer, to be specific!)

Thank you for playing, and God bless.

HA HA HA HA HA HA

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

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.
