Sorry Jive, I just had to pick up on this even if I'm late to the party. Normally I don't give a shit what people eat, but I frankly don't understand pescetarianism. Besides all the various inconsistencies it immediately raises between fish and any other meat (and of which you are evidently aware), the commercial fishing industry is easily the most destructive meat industry on the planet. Now if you're just eating fish you caught or that have been otherwise harvested in some sort of sustainable way, then I'll return to my usual habit of giving zero shits, but ask any marine biologist and they'll tell you how commercial fishing fleets are raping the oceans in the most horrendous manner.

My girlfriend the marine biologist almost goes into a blind rage about pescetarianism, so that might have rubbed off on me a bit over the last few years. :wink:

Incidentally, much as I love meat and in particular would struggle to live without bacon, 'roo, or chicken in my life, I'd probably go vegetarian in a second if I had to actually kill the animal myself. I'm aware of the hypocrisy there.

No, I get it man. It's something I struggle with a bit and I'm always open to more sustainable sources. We're painfully aware in canada of the shitty job fisheries do in not shooting themselves in the foot and collapsing entire fish populations. I try to stay away from the big offenders as far as species go. But it's not like they can be selective with the way they fish. Any suggestions?

It's a bit unfair to hate on pescetarianism in particular though, as all the meat eaters would be equal offenders
 
I did a long distance transfer one time at work, we had to bring some crazy guy to a psych facility in Boston. The first thing he said when he got into the truck was "yo you got a sangwich, mang? What kind of ambulance is this you ain't got no sangwiches?" He also called another time (as a 911 call not a transfer), his complaint being he wanted to go to the ER cos some hooker gave him crabs.

Peef isn't in Florida. I found him here in the wal-mart parking lot, driving around real slow in a jeep. He was shouting all kinds of shit out the window with a megaphone.

He definitely reached the thousand beer threshold, you guys.

Sometimes they have the local top 40 station on where my mom works, and according to her, they STILL play that song on regular rotation. Even though it's well over ten years old.

Absolutely. I've experienced that situation far more times than I care to count.

As for the meat/vegetarian debate, I don't eat a lot of meat, but I do still like eating it. And I love me some fish and chicken. I don't think I could be a vegetarian because I don't care for a lot of vegetables to begin with-that's something I need to work on changing.

But I definitely agree with everyone's sentiments about the douchey holier than thou attitudes. I don't care what one prefers to eat, more power to them either way. Just shut up and eat it in peace.

Spin doctors two princes. That song will still be the most baffling to me, as to how it still gets such frequent airplay. After the nuclear apocalypse, the remaining cockroaches and twinkies (well, I guess not the twinkies, but you know...) will be forced to listen to it on an endless loop as it will be the only song that survives.

Twinkies have been replaced with Dreamies at my local grocer. They appear to be identical, not that I've actually tried one.

No apparent replacement for Zingers as of yet. :sad:

Also, I expect Meatloaf to survive the apocalypse somehow.
 
How about snowballs? Or were they another company? I usually stick to pop tarts if I'm going to eat that crap. But I think snowballs could survive, too.
 
Since getting a smart phone, I haven't actually said "wow, how did I function without this thing?" Because I used to read a lot more when I didn't have things like Star Wars angry birds to distract me from books. But life is a lot better with shazaam to tell me whose godawful song I just heard on the radio was so I can avoid them in the future. And playing stump shazaam and sound hound from my iPod is a fun game.
 
I wish there was more on the magnetic fields' i album I really liked, outside of "I wish I had an evil twin," the first three tracks are really all I want to listen to. Although I could put "I don't believe you" and "I don't really love you any more" on a loop for the rest of my shift and be quite happy. Fucking love those two songs.


Edit: ok, add "if there's such a thing as love" to the list of awesomeness. Kind of forgot about that one.

Will Keith Richards play it as he will be the only living being outside of cockroaches to survive?

Picturing Keef sitting by a fire, eating Twinkies in between takes of "Two Princes" on his guitar surrounded by a horde of cockroaches, most of who say "I can't understand a damn word that dude is singing."

I decided today that my two favorite songs by them are Swinging London and All the Umbrellas in London. Dude needs to make a concept album.

Just out of interest, isn't it extremely difficult to be a vegan? From what I know about it, that's not much I admit, it seems you can barely eat anything as a vegan.

It depends where you live, of course, but vegan alternatives are becoming much more readily available beyond the abundance of vegetables, beans, legumes and grains. I honestly eat better now than I ever did when I ate meat or when I was a vegetarian for that matter.

Yes
 
Some fucking yahoos just moved into the apartment directly below mine. Before now, noise was never an issue; it's an 80 year old apartment, so it's built like a brick shithouse. But these doonknobs are playing the sound to their movies so fucking loud. My only option was to put my speakers on the ground and play Radiohead's National Anthem at half volume (it's fucking loud). Think they'll get the hint? The Rat is next
