just curious as to why you are a vegetarian? everone's got their reasons it seems? what's yours?

they usually put pork in beans.

I grew up on a farm/around animals and my dad's a hunter/fisher. hell, I was into fishing until my teen years. when I was younger, my mom got me off veal after talking about it and in 1987 we drove through where they house veal calfs mid-west.
then around 13-14, my bestfriend and I made a bet to see who could go the longest without eating red meat (about 10 years later, I won when he got stuck in europe). after that, things just fell away. for the last 4 years of "meat eating" I would only eat chicken twice a year.
that stopped one day on my dad's farm where I bare-hands broke the neck of a retarded turkey. right then I realized that I couldn't kill animals anymore and eat them. it's like "dude, Im out"

now, my philosophy is if you are unable to kill animals yourself, you don't deserve to eat them.

That's why I only eat the skin of women.

you and your bud were only 13 or 14 when you made that bet? wow.

i once killed a turkey with a samurai sword. put it's head between two nails on a tree trunk. i found it amusing but everyone's different. the turkey wasn't retarded but i might have been a bit retarded. never the less we ate the fucker. the turkey looked like a blood squirting draddle that didn't stop spinning for what seemed to be at least 5 minutes.

I'm off next week. This g4y week can't end soon enough.

the label says "season with bacon and brown sugar." I'm guessing its not vegetarian beans. But I did however hide a scratch ticket underneath the label so that when i got stuck with the "shitty present" after swapping...i will win. i'm debating as to wether i'm gonna even tell the person who ends up with them that the scratch ticket is hidden there. bahahahaha.

me and this other alcoholic at my work always buy nips for the grab. we devise a plan to get each others gift every year.

mess: kudos to you.. not for kiling the turkey, but standing the stomach wrentching smell when you are plucking a turkey. that is one of the worst smells ever.

My supervisor is on vacation and that's good enough for me.

seriously. they were everywhere. i remember it being cold, steam still coming off of them. it reeeeeeked of death. nam didn't even compare.

Plucking is a pain in the ass. When I harvest (murder) a wild bird, normally I just pluck the breast, and then filet off the boneless breast meat. Wildfowl are normally much leaner and it's not worth the extra work to clean the entire thing, since you don't get that much meat. I like the smell -- it smells like, well, Victory!

*barfs*
that is a smell of my youth I want to forget.
the last time my family killed a turkey, my dad just brought it to the butcher to do. they had to cut the bird in half and one half was 17lbs cleaned.the other 1/2 was 19lbs.
domestic (white) turkeys are freaking beasts.

hahaha

from this saturday through march i will be on vacation. fuck yeah.

aaron and i went to see Charlotte's Web last night-that enough reinforced my vegetarian self.
My family also killed their own animals and as a kid it didn't really bug me until i got older...i would be vegetarian but then i'd "cheat"..off and on...then i met aaron and, well him being one made it easier for me.

Ah, but are you working on the eve?

I thought I wouldn't have to because I had a feeling the place would be closed. I am kind of agitated about it because I'm planning on going to that show on the 23rd at the AS220, now I gotta worry about work the next day in addition to all sorts of other stuff.
