Random Music Talk LXXVIII: Crashing Miley's Toluca Lake Pad

[bono_212]

Are you a vegetarian, Jive? I don't think I caught that before...

 

[Jive Turkey]

I don't like to call myself anything in particular because all the other people in the world who eat in the same fashion that I do have ruined it with their douchiness.
I suppose, if I had to label it, it would be pescetarian.

 

[Danny Boy]

Jive eats religious zealots for breakfast.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I'm always hungry a half hour later. Must be the monotheism glutamate

 

[Danny Boy]

Ha.

I didn't realize there was a word for that.

Can I ask, why fish? Why are they an acceptable exception?

I've thought long and hard in the last year about becoming a vegetarian, but I really do like fish and chicken too much to do it, I think. I don't know, it's something I have to think about, for starters why I want to do it, besides it feeling like the right thing to do.

You're right, that does sound douchey.

Well, i started off not eating any meat whatsoever, but felt like I was getting a bit scrawny, so I made an exception. I do it for ....blaaaaah... ethical (fuck, I'm a douche) reasons. And (relatively speaking) fish don't have an advanced central nervous system. Just a line I felt comfortable drawing (I never kill insects though.. I put them outside or let them go on their merry way in my home).
I stay away from the more intelligent sea creatures. No octopus or squid.
But if someone came to my house for dinner and wanted steak, I'd make it for them. I'm not about forcing it on anyone and don't judge

 

[Jive Turkey]

You're right, that does sound douchey.

I know... I feel like I was forced to say it

 

[u2popmofo]

More than once, I heard people in Japan say they didn't eat meat. Just rice, fruit, vegetables, and fish.

 

[PhilsFan]

While I have no intention of posting during my vacation, I need to pass some time during this awful car ride. Somewhere in the area of southern Virginia right now. Like a third of the way there, if not less? Ugh.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I've heard people say that too.
Actually, just yesterday, a friend tried to tell me she was a vegetarian and only ate fish, chicken, and turkey. I was like, what the fuck?

 

[Jive Turkey]

Oh, so get this. My gf is on some yoga retreat thingy in Nicaragua. She just sent me a message saying she was going 'volcano surfing' tomorrow. I was like, what's volcano surfing? Apparently it's tobogganing down the side of a volcano. Had I known, I would've sent her with some Mumford and Sons CDs

Stop somewhere in North Carolina for barbecue. I'm serious. Unless you're opposed to eating the flesh of a pig, of course.

Where U at? I used to live in Suffolk, near Norfolk/Virginia Beach.

They're pronounced "Suh-fuck" and "Naah-fuck", BTW

If you post even once, I'm going to declare you to be a liar and a cheat.

Have fun, man.

Had I known, I would've sent her with some Mumford and Sons CDs

Lolz.

I try to only eat meat one meal a day. You could say I'm vegetarian except I eat beef, pork, chicken, turkey, fish, deer, elk, duck, shrimp, clams, mutton, bison, etc.

Didn't you leave hours and hours ago? I feel like you should be further than that by now.

 

[Jive Turkey]

They're pronounced "Suh-fuck" and "Naah-fuck", BTW

I was there just over a year ago. Both of them

 

[IWasBored]

I didn't eat chicken/beef/pork for about six years, and the only thing you'd be able to call fish that I consumed during that time frame was some manner of fried white fish or fish sticks. But I only did that because vasculature and creepy gristle chunks freaked me the fuck out as a kid, and I really haven't met much seafood I found tasty. It was too much of a hassle when i was in college, so i went back to eating the most processed of meats (i ate plenty of fake meats while i wasnt eating the real stuff), and now really just dont care that much. Weird non-flesh cartilage and skins and stuff in wings doesn't even bother me much anymore.

 

[u2popmofo]

I was in Haymarket, Virginia last year. They pronounced it "hay-market".

 

[IWasBored]

If you post even once, I'm going to declare you to be a liar and a cheat.

And don't you dare think of stealing my titles. Card cheat and hippie liar belong to me! Or maybe The Clash and me, but either way. No room for peef.

I have done about nine hours total at this point. I stopped at home in Philly.

About to cross into North Carolina. Do you know any places open at this hour?

 

[bono_212]

That makes more sense.

Are you driving alone? I've made the haul from Texas to Indiana alone more times than I can remember. There are some parts about it that are truly wonderful, but mostly it can be a real drag.

 

[PhilsFan]

No, There are four of us. I don't use my phone while driving. I am in the backseat trying and failing miserably to sleep. My driving shift starts around 8 am.

 

[bono_212]

That's good. I don't like to text and drive, and I hate when I catch myself doing it, but especially tired and at night, I'd hope you weren't while driving

 

[the tourist]

Finally bought Innerspeaker, which I'd heard many times before. The bonus disc is pretty swell.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I laughed so hard at this. How glorious that would have been!


Also, I feel your pain re: the douchebaggery associated with vegetarianism. When I tell people that I am one, I usually follow it quickly with "but I don't care what other people eat. No, seriously." I'm also glad to know I'm not the only one who gently escorts insects out of the house/makes students gently escort them out of the classroom.

 

[cobl04]

You're right, that does sound douchey.

Ha.

I find it a little interesting that you'll eat fish because they don't have an advanced central nervous system but you'll escore tiny useless insects outside, JT.

I will never be a vegetarian because I enjoy meat too much and I'm really fucking lazy. Cooking meat is so easy and if I had to take that out of my life I think I'd have to hire a cook, which I can't afford.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Right now the whole world could call me ugly.
So what?
To you I'm not.
You don't love me because I'm beautiful.
I'm beautiful because you love me.

 

[PhilsFan]

Florida is quite flat.
