This is a case of an idea coming out EXACTLY how I wanted it onto paper...and me being frightened with the results. Tell me what you think of the Colonel Sanders and his WEE, BEADY EYES!!!!

I formally apologize to the mental scarring this image may cause.

We can't access that.

Grrr! How does a girl just attatch an image to this thing?? I tried, but it doesn't seem to wanna work.

Example:




If it doesn't end in .gif, .jpg, or .png, it won't show.

Also provides free, easy, throw-away image hosting. It's where all my avater's end up being u/l'd.

Thanks, Mista B! That'll do JUST fine....now, then....*ahem*.....dear god....I'm fucked up....

Ha! I say again: Ha! LOL even, ROFL just to be safe.

cool, but you forgot that KFC chickens are geneticaly altered to grow 6 legs instead of two- whcih is why they can't legaly call themselves Kentucky Fried Chicken anymore. its true, and I should know- I read about it on the internet ^_^

(Tricon owns KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut)

Aren't they made without beaks too?

Oh, I'm fully aware. Which is why I'm vegan.

They are born with beaks, but they cut them off to try and curtail fighting. They don't have multiple legs. Believe it or not, we haven't genejacked any animals yet, only plants. Even then, the ones you consume have no animal DNA in them.

Hooze, you don't use silk?

Hooze...you rock more than 2.

::blinks:: Woah... The Colonel tripped on acid....

Personally, I think the acid won. :+P

... did you eat too mcuh chiecken perhaps?.. or perhaps dreamed of chicken protestors?

Nice pic, Hooze. Freaky, but really cool.

IIMA, when did you become a vegan?

I became vegan as of this past Wednesday. I had gone vegetarian as kind of a way of weening myself off of animal products, but by the time I went full on vegan, I was barely even touching any dairy either. It's something I've contemplated for a little over a year.

Neat, huh?

I couldn't give up regular soap. That and I like down pillows and leather boots will always keep me from being a vegan.

i'm thin and sickly-looking as is. if i gave up thick steaks i'd probably wither into nothingness and DIE.
anyone raised on alberta beef will especially understand my position.

The best ginger beef i ever had was a vegan substitute, and that was like over a year ago. *shrug* I don't think of it as "giving up" meat. I think of it as gaining health and awarness.

But, to each their own. I got the idea of that drawing before my veganism as well. The Colonel has always been spooky to me.

Hey, if that's what you believe, good for you. Myself, I'm more of the opinion that human beings are natural omnivores, and have developed as such over millions of years, but I respect that a person might not want to eat animal products, especially these days. With all the preservatives/etc., that might not be a bad idea.

Boy, we sure got off the original topic but good, didn't we?

Getting "thin and sickly" from a vegetarian or vegan diet does not happen as long as you are aware of the vitamins/minerals that need to be replenished by other means. I've met enough "thin and sickly" people who get it from sitting in front of a computer all day or not being active to know that having meat in one's diet won't change that. Beans, lentels, and spinich, my friends. That takes care of protein and iron. Vegetables like brocoli contain calcium, and unlike milk, contain the enzymes to help you actually absorb calcium. Fruits and veggies are high in dietary fibre, easier to digest, and in this day and age there are so many substitutes for various products that I don't have to go completely without.

All in all, I became vegan FIRST in a self-preservation type fashion. I eat out less since there are select restaurants that cater to veganism (and I save money!), and am much more aware of what I'm actually puting in my mouth. The fact that the average vegetarian saves 95 animal lives a year is also very rewarding in a way I've never felt.

Remember: You AREN'T what you eat...you ARE what you don't shit out.

Okay. I'm done. I have nothing against meat-eaters and am not a pretentious "higher lifeform" vegan. If any of you want to know more or discuss it more, maybe we should take it to a different forum?

Love,
HOOZEY BABY!!!!!

Cool. I mean, I'd be happy to host something about vegetarianism/veganism on the R&P forum, for instance.

Hope I didn't offend you there, Hooze.

Anyway, back to the appreciation of this wonderful pic, already in progress!

Those are some really vivid colours that you used, Hooze. Are those pastels and charcoal?

I like meat too much to go Veg. I like my chicken and beef. Seafood is okay. However I'm not too much of a pork fan, I've gotten tired of the same old pork... I prefer just bacon and ham, and that's about it. I'm not into sausage, or porkchops (Blech... I'm trying to AVOID eating porkchops)
I find my stomach actually doesn't agree with me when it comes to eating too much pork. (too much doesn't refer to stuffing myself... it refers to more than just a tiny bit.)

I HATE onions... Mainly white onions, I get sick to my stomach... Might have something to do with Liver and Onions WAY BACK WHEN that engraved itself to my subconcious. Blech... NASTY combination.
