William Shatner on Vegetarianism
circa 1982. Direct link to .mpg (300Mb).
via growabrain
"What's a vegetarian?"
Then I stopped downloading; I have better things to do with 300MB bandwidth.
There are lower bandwidth versions, that's just the recommended one.
C'maaaaan - it's the Shat!
300 mb? That link needs to go on a vegetarian diet!
*crickets*
Oh yeah? Well the jerk store called...
Okay okay - 33Mb, 75Mb, 99Mb, 143Mb.
Whatamibid, whatamibid??
)((! Thanks, petebest - amusingly dated in parts, but quite powerful. I especially enjoyed the attempted kidnapping by Isaac Bashevis Singer towards the end.
Shatner needs to cut back on the eggplant parmesan these days.
As a vegetarian myself, I loved the movie. Thanks petebest!
Anyone remember Lee Majors bizarre speech in the middle of 'Killer Fish' in defence of bisexuality?
Me neither.

Mr Spork (glacial): The third stanza is the work of a bigot, Jim.
The Logical Vegetarian
You will find me drinking rum,
Like a sailor in a slum,
You will find me drinking beer like a Bavarian,
You will find me drinking gin
In the lowest kind of inn,
Because I am a rigid Vegetarian.
So I cleared the inn of wine,
And I tried to climb the sign,
And I tried to hail the constable as 'Marion'
But he said I couldn't speak
And he bowled me to the Beak
Because I was a happy Vegetarian.
Oh, I knew a Doctor Gluck,
And his nose it had a hook,
And his attitudes were anything but Aryan;
So I gave him all the pork
That I had, upon a fork;
Because I am myself a Vegetarian.
I am silent in the club,
I am silent in the pub,
I am silent on a bloody peak in Darien;
For I stuff away for life
Shoving peas in with a knife,
Because I am at heart a Vegetarian.
No more the milk of cows
Shall pollute my private house
Than the milk of the wild mares of the Barbarian;
I will stick to port and sherry,
For they are so very, very,
So very, very, very Vegetarian.
-- G.K. Chesterton
If we're not suppossed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?
Think a more fruitful (;]) inquiry might be: Why do people have teeth, plus intestinal fauna/flora enabling us to ingest/digest meat as well as plants?
Because there's considerable advantage in being an omnivore rather than a herbivore. Possible to ingest more calories faster/with less effort/time than a cow, for example.
Conclusion: Versatility counts for much in dining.
Eat healthy, eat cat, the other white meat.
Nnnnnnnnno?
Yyyyyyyyyyeeeeessssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!
My cat lives on a diet of dry cat kibbles and my ankles.
What's the riboflavin content of your ankles TUM?
It depends on wether his underpants are up or down.
ingest!
in jest
'tis for
the best
that cats

Kids With High IQs Grow Up to Be Vegetarians
As a child's IQ rises, his taste for meat in adulthood declines, a new study suggests.
British researchers have found that children's IQ predicts their likelihood of becoming vegetarians as young adults -- lowering their risk for cardiovascular disease in the process. The finding could explain the link between smarts and better health, the investigators say.
Primo roryk! Smoochas Grassyass!
and well H-dogged, I might say.
The finding could explain the link between smarts and better health, the investigators say.
It may also explain the connection between smarts and adolescent contrarian disaffection.
I mean, really, how lame is that?
It's totally lame. I bet those investigators are all grown ups too. Never trust anyone over thirty.
Meat's good for your evolution. Probably.
Well yeah if there aren't any plants. ??? What kind of messed up theory is that. Rocks just didn't make the cut. Thank goodness.
well, every year
(the old folks say)
we all swallow
a peck of dirt
the wind lays
grains of grit
on my dry lips
dry columns
of air lift
the marble fragments
rubbed loose by
ridged fingers
I gaze into the deeps
where motherlode lurks
in secret crannies
of spinach and celery
small nuggets tucked
between clenched stems
abrade our teeth
I've often thought about that "pound of dirt" (the way I was always told it). Bravo!
