You know what, youre just jealous that Im going into the Navy and Im gonna travel all over the world for free and help people while Im doing it, plus Im gonna meet lots of new people and have lots of fun all while being a nurse, which is what i want to do too, so bite me!

Bonnie, if you don't mind me asking, what was the motivation for going vegan, and what was the reason for going back?

I wasn't vegan, I went vegetarian. I could never go vegan, not worth the effort in my opinion.

Well, basically I was eating a lot of vegetarian foods anyway (my brother's been vegetarian for 10 years and I live with him) and at one point I realised I hadn't eaten meat for a week, and I thought, hey let's see how far I can go. So that's six or seven months, and I didn't really have any problems with keeping it up. If anything, it was really difficult to get in a mindset to eat meat again.

Oh come on, it was a given.

 

[The Sad Punk]

That sounds like an oxymoron.

I know! I think they just up the ante on ginseng, guarana and taurine to amounts that could render a man impotent.

 

[Axver]

Have we gone to Tillicum road yet in Victoria BC? Have we.. this is like the gazillionith time I've asked I know

Nope, still haven't been there yet.

Ah, right.

Did you find it changed your psychological mindset in any way? I remember wearing an interview with Mad Bob where he mentioned going vegetarian made him a different person.

 

[RavenBlue]

If you have any other suggestions, throw 'em out there

 

[Varitek]

i am gonna be a vegetarian cause i'm too poor to buy meat, i think. except i'll eat meat whenever someone else buys it or if i can get it on sale. but a friend of mine who's veg became one because meat was expensive and he used to get lunch every day at a burrito place and the veggie one came with free guac but the meat ones you had to pay extra for guac.

Ooh, are you home now?

2009 has been fairly dull, so far... just like 2008.

 

[Axver]

Haha, even better, it's Tillicum Lodge Road: Tillicum Road, Vancouver - Google Maps

Sounds like a really cheap brothel.

That doesn't sound healthy.

How about women?

Taurine in drinks scares me.

Mad Bob went vegetarian? I thought he just lived on cream puffs anyway.

No, not in anyway I recognise, do you know what he could have been referring to in particular?

Buy meat on its expiry date and it should be heavily discounted, then just stuff it in the freezer.

I don't even know what taurine is. I don't want to. I imagine it as being something that can power helicopters.

During his drug years, yeah. Hahaha.

Um. I think he was somewhat calmer and less aggressive? I'll try and find the interview.

All I know is that they fed it to US soldiers in Viet Nam to keep them awake and it fucked them up. Admittedly, they probably got a much higher dose, but still.

Hey, you fuckers.

How many beers did it take? A full six pack this time?

 

[Axver]

Haha, Serena, I see my card invaded your sig.

I couldn't resist. Your card cracked me up. Especially the drawings!

Apparently it comes from bull testicles. I guess the last line has some counseling ability, though.

Taurine in the pharmaceutical and lab setting is synthesized through a combination of cysteine, methionine and vitamin E. It is naturally produced in testicles of many mammals. Urban legends surrounding the source of taurine have included bull urine extract and bull semen. While it's true that taurine is found in both sources, it is not the source of taurine in the pharmaceutical or food industry. And while taurine is sometimes extracted from the intestines of cattle, many food industry sources, including the popular energy drink Red Bull,[9] make efforts to use synthesized sources that are vegetarian friendly.

Oh, and it's really important to cats, or something. And it hasn't even been proven to give energy to humans. What the hell? Why is it even in there?

[has another sip of Rockstar anyway]

Hey Serena!

Hey Ali!
How goes it?
