I grew up in a hunting fishing out-doorsy every thing family. My hubby not so much but his family has farmland so they had land owner preference tags. The first few years we were married that tag helped feed us thru the winter. Few more years they put a corn field circle on the land , could not keep the deer out of it. Come hunting season my hubby goes out to hunt ......in the corn circle.

My hubby comes back from the hunt all disturbed. I figured he had no luck. So I ask. He says "Yes I got a deer., but I am not proud of it. It was just like shooting Bambi, it was so tame and it looked right at me with those big brown eyes . I will never shoot another deer."

And he hasn't

Oh no!

I just had a thought...

I hope it's not....

......

Chicken-flu !!!!!!!!!

Get well soon mate. :)

Me and a mate of mine were heading down the coast. And we stopped at KFC.

He's a fairly strict vegan, but got some fries.

Anyway, I'm chowing down on everything and a said "do you want some of my potato and gravy with your chips?

He said naaah, it contains animal stuff. And picks up the container to read the label..

A few seconds later he shouts "woohoo" it's all chemicals! And starts dipping his fries in and eating them.

Never seen anyone so happy that they could eat the food cause it was completely artificial... Lol!

Don't know if they changed the formula... Errr... Recipe since then, but he enjoyed potato and gravy for a number of years since then.

He was always such a nice, well mannered, thin guitarist... But tall and mainly into metallica.

This hasn't gotten much press yet, but TV writer David Lloyd died today.

I know him mostly from Cheers and Frasier, but he also did a lot of work for Taxi, the Mary Tyler Moore show, and the Tonight Show.

And in other television news today, Dollhouse was cancelled. Argh...

Awww Joe, hope u feel better very soon... I don't like it one little bit when yer sick!!

Wonder if it's hard to be vegan when you've been an omnivore for so long....I do love my fruits, and most veggies and always thought if I ended up on a tropical island I could still be happy if there was fruit there, LOL.....but I wonder if a person misses meat and dairy......OMG I could NEVER give up coffee!!!

How does 6 shots of espresso fit into the vegan lifestyle....can u use cream at ALL? Cuz if not....GEEEEEEZ! Coffee THAT strong and THAT black would put hairs on my chest!! LOL!

hairy chickenbreastage *shiver*

btw if it has a face, its not on my plate.Eating animal meat is unnecessary, its not meant for human consumption, the human body cant properly digest it, any decent qualified doc will tell you that

Tofu is as good protein replacement, shaolin monks favor this over meat Tofu recipes

or Nut protein & i,m not talkin from yer sack lads b4 y start lol

just b4 the goody goody police come along and decide to adopt me into their veggy fam, have a think on this "meat is responsible for 50% of greenhouse gas emissions but soy production is a leading cause of deforestation, responsible for a quarter of GHG emissions"

Hi all from fab Port Douglas, hope my DVD has arrived when I get home.

Joe, honey, any word on an Aussie tour yet?

For Chickenfoot in Australia say "aye"!

Anybody watch Oprah yesterday. Holy f**king shit! A 250 lb chimp ripped off a woman's face and her hands back in Feb. - and she lived. Her face before the tragedy was so lovely, but now...the only thing I can think of that she resembles is a teenage mutant ninja turtle - but worse - and I don't me that to be funny. It's horrific, and very hard to look at - but she's alive and trying to be strong. She was a single mom. Her daughter is getting ready for college. God bless them both. Their life has been changed drastically forever. Just seeing it kinda effed me up a bit...

Such a shame.

cheese...If your stuck on an island with nothing but fruit and water you better build yourself a nice outhouse...lol.

couple of good ones there Zinc.

my stepdad and brother used to hunt every season. i went once when i was about 12. saw 4 bucks run by me about 4 to 5 feet away doing about 25 mph up the side of a mountain. thats about as close as i ever got to hunting. have seen alot of hunters that do it for the jollies. most of them hunted with trucks and snowmobiles at night with bright lights. shitheads in my opinion. my brother still hunts but gave up his guns for bow & arrow. i think he's a nut because he hunts black bear with a bow. i still love my meat on the grill and can't imagine going vegan. i do have to say though that in nature, just about everything eats some other form of life to live. so what constitutes "life" plants grow from seeds so are they "born" do they "live". i've read science articles suggesting plants and trees can communicate with each other via chemical reactions. are they alive? if so then even vegans are consuming a living entity. just "food for thought"

okguitar; exactly what is it you are doing?

slans: they are now saying that soy protien is not as good as they first thought, especially for women. they blame the increased use of soy as a reason for the increasing onset of early puberty in girls in developed countries. something to do with the way it reacts with estrogen.

cappy: i say to the ones who do it for fun, too bad the animals can't shoot back! ha!
