And that's the main thing that bugs me about all of the "health nuts" here in California--they all seem to be of the opinion that they'll live forever if they can somehow manage to stay away from all of the things they've deemed "harmful". I'd much rather eat cheeseburgers and pizza and die at the age of 70 than live to be 99 years old by eating wicker and seaweed.
Will you let me off with the 'L' thing too? In Brit speak it's spelt with double 'L.' You see, I was told at school, that when the founding fathers set off for the new world, they left their dictionary behind.I'll let you off with the L thing but you are still wrong.
Now you know that's not true.And we were told in school here that the dictionary made the crossing but the very first thing they did upon landing was to rewrite the darned thing so that it made some sense.
How about the one from Alexander Comfort: "Chastity is no more a virtue than malnutrition?"
And I'm going to have one of those.
I really don't care with their opinion is. It is just that they think I am entitled to it! I wish a heavy wind would blow them all away!
lol lol
Smoking or steaming.It's best to post no smoking signs in that situation.
And I'm going to have one of those.
I look at 2 friends of mine that are vegans, and they look a lot older than I do.
Plus they need an anchor on windy days, otherwise they'll relocate to the next town.
One of them asks me every so often, "see if you eat veggies only you'll feel better, don't you want that?"
"If I drink a glass of wine I feel better too, what's your point?"
For 2yrs I was a vegetarian, not because I was trying to save anything, but because I wanted to shed 15-20 pounds.
It never came off, and I got bored eating "steam veggie plate" off every menu where my friends and I would go before bar hopping.
Wait, was the 4-5 Guinness Extra Stouts a night keeping me from losing weight?
Oh well, I enjoyed those times.
BTW I've threatened to hold my friend down (since I outweigh him by 60 pounds and have a lot more muscle) and force feed him a steak.
Numerous times....
I've also asked him if his wife runs him over with their Prius (because he made her mad), is that some kind of irony? Especially since you'd never hear her coming.
I'll keep this going with the Green movement.
I'm not into renewable anything, or sustainable anything.
If you want to do that, fine, knock yourself out.
No really, I'd like to see you do it.
As a friend of mine said (at a McDonalds in 1990) "this napkin is made with recycled paper. Oh great, I'm wiping my mouth with something someone wiped their a** with at one time. Lovely..."
And since reading this thread, I have a strong desire for some lettuce. Don't know why....
Those evil PETA activists.
Ah yes, People Eating Tasty Animals. My favorite organization.When a PETA type gets on my case, I tell them that I do belong to PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals. That usually shuts 'em right up.
Absolutely right. How many times have we read stories about someone who ate six eggs and half a pound of bacon for breakfast every morning, drank whiskey and smoked three packs of cigarettes daily, worked on a farm rooting around in manure and other agricultural chemicals, and lived to be 98 years old? And these stories are usually followed by one about someone who exercised daily, ate nothing but healthy foods, then got an insect bite that went septic and killed them at the age of 27. [huh]...My grandmother lived to be 93 here without worrying about eating leaves and twigs. In fact, the doctor told her to eat whatever she wanted even at 93...I do know for sure that eating vegetables does not compensate for lousy genes.
One of those would be good old Pearl Cantrell:105 and still eating bacon every day for breakfast.
