Things meat eaters say and do

[Roxy]

Seriously? LOL - don't get me started on religion and man made rules.

Why can't they just take a day off their meat eating?
It will kill them, you see. I'm dreading organising my birthday in a few months - if I make plans for an evening at a vegematarian restaurant, I just know someone will give me that "wounded puppy" stare!:rolleyes:

[Roxy]

Too fuckin bad! It's YOUR birthday. If they don't want to come along and help you celebrate your special day in a way that you choose, then they can get stuffed.

Well that's just my opinion.

[pat sommer]

Get sneaky! Feed 'em fakes in your home explaining that the meat was from a 'humane farm' where they were euthanized.... or try an ethnic restaurant with a pre-planned menu. Chinese does good fakes and middle-eastern doesn't need fakes.
Vegans are not required to play fair ;)

[bradders]

Yep they seriously do.

Being sneaky can backfire if you're going to do it then do anything but lie. Present food by it's title rather than content etc.
Regards the restaurant if they don't like it they can jolly well lump it.

I bumped into an old friend last night who asked, 'Are you still vegetarian? Hitler was a vegetarian you know.' I grinned at him and said,'Oh no, I'm much worse than Hitler, I'm vegan now.'

LOLOL. Did you say you were level 5? :p ;)

I got asked if I can eat yams. :p

[Zero]

I just had one of those classic misinformed lines "You can't have chocolate, it's all got cocoa butter in it"

My response "Oh thats right damn, does cocoa butter come from the brown cows then?"

(Then I proceeded to explain properly)

I got asked if I can eat yams. :p
the rare love child of a yak and a ram perhaps, I've heard they're real cute.

[Gorilla]

^ haha :lol:

[bradders]

oh man that's too funny, sounds cute though

pedant here points out that yaks and rams are both male

[harpy]

Not all yaks can be male surely? :confused:

[bradders]

the yak is the male and the dri is the female from what I can remember

[harpy]

Well I never! :)

[bradders]

so if someone says they've been drinking yak milk.......

[Zero]

In Tibetan, the word gyag refers only to the male of the species; a female is a dri or nak. In most languages which borrowed the word, including English, yak is usually used for both sexes.

[bradders]

might I say that's a little cruel to the first three yaks who could have been spared the pain had you warned them!

[Zero]

I wasn't there squire.

[bradders]

a likely story, you should have been there to protect them
