File Under: Who Cares?

The Great Vegan Honey Debate
I can’t believe people get paid to write about this crap. Who really cares if you eat meat!? Who really cares if you take honey from bees for crying out loud!? Stop drinking the crazy punch, you flaming liberals!
There is no more contentious question in the world of veganism than the one posed by honey. A fierce doctrinal debate over its status has raged for decades; it turns up on almost every community FAQ and remains so ubiquitous and unresolved that radio host Rachel Maddow proposed to ask celebrity vegan Dennis Kucinich about it during last year’s CNN/YouTube presidential debate. Does honey qualify as a forbidden animal product since it’s made by bees? Or is it OK since the bees don’t seem too put out by making it?

Do Vegetarians eat fruit? Since vegetarians are kind of “fruity” people, I think we should just call them “fruitarians” anyway.

Why Running in the Dark is a Dumb Thing to Do
July 22, 2008
I was in my backyard last night, attempting to fill tiki torches with… tiki(?) fluid. My goal was to accomplish this while it was still light outside and without spilling the fluid all over my arms, making myself a human torch.
Unfortunately, it started to rain so I ran toward the garage at the front of the house when all of a sudden–it was very sudden mind you–something jumped out at me. It was like being behind the wheel of a speeding car that you just can’t stop…CRASH!
I have never been so surprised by my own stupidity. Or scared, for that matter.
A few weeks ago, I put up a 4-foot galvanized metal dog fence on the side of the house. I just ran into the 4-foot fence and let me tell you, if you have never ran into a metal fence in the dark, you have no idea how freightening it can be. My left arm was covered in blood and a day later, still pains me to think about it. I’ll tell you more about why I have a 4-foot dog fence a little bit later. Perhaps when typing doesn’t feel so much like ripping a Band-Aid off a hairy arm.

So much for the statement about “There is no such thing as a stupid question.”

I’m a week late and a few hundred dollars short but this I just have to share.
About a Cat
July 10, 2008
I was recently having some behavioral issues with one of our cats that my wife and I have owned since we got married back in 2002. Delilah has always been a great cat, but I must say I was pondering eviction via a number of methods–fortunately for the cat, I couldn’t decide on one that was not cruel and/or unusual. A very good friend of mine suggested I place an ad on craigslist to see if anyone in the area happens to be in the market for a new furry friend. In the midst of all this, we came across the following ad:
I certainly value this person’s honesty, that’s for sure. On a separate but related note, Delilah is still living under our roof–for now.

When puns just aren’t enough… there’s schwetty balls. I hear they’re in stock, too.
This idiot is just asking to go to jail

While this is kind of cool, I wouldn’t recommend doing it. Check out “How to get yourself 8-10 years of free time–in jail” HERE
