You can get yours FREE from GoVeg.com, but believe me -- they're not kidding when they say it'll be a 4-6 week wait! I'd almost forgotten about ordering this bloody thing. It was advertised in the local paper and mentioned that it came with a DVD, so of course I had to go for it, given my unnatural lust for DVDs and my pseudo-interest in vegetarianism (seeing as how I don't eat beef or pork or any mammals at all these days, really -- though I do intend to sample these White Castle burgers from the dollar store for Scary-Crayon review purposes). Looking over the the reasons to go vegetarian printed on the DVD sleeve, though, already I'm expecting this thing to be hilarious. Mind you, a good number of them are valid points and make a lot of sense, but then you've got reasons like "Animals value their lives as much as humans do" -- really? how the fuck can you prove that?! -- and "Because you wouldn't eat your dog." No, that's true, but I wouldn't eat my beloved fish (R.I.P. Duncan) or my nonexistent pet pig either (I really think I'd like having a pet pig!) -- but I'd certainly eat some other fish! I could and have easily given up beef and pork, and the primary reason I eat poultry is convenience ('cause when one doesn't eat beef or pork, one's options are limited -- though that's beginning to change), but fish? Oh ho NO -- seafood is like the one thing I actually take pleasure in eating.

Yes, I know that "eating fish doesn't make [me] a vegetarian," but sooooo what? Fish... delicious. I know a girl who became a vegetarian, and it truly saddens me that the two of us will never be able to partake of another all you can eat sushi buffet together. SUSHI! I don't think about sex very much, but three of my four ideal erotic fantasies begin with all you can eat sushi buffets. The other involves milkshakes and peanut butter banana burritos. Don't ask.

Wait, I think there's one with oysters too! But we're getting sidetracked here.

And obviously I'm kinda drunk right now, so I'm willing to bet there's another one involving copious amounts of liquor. So I will watch a few more anime episodes and then pop in this DVD in order to achieve the maximum hilarity. Yes. Ja ne, minna-san!

OH, one more thing -- I never told y'all the mystery ingredient in the dish introduced in this post, did I? It's a chocolate cupcake. Aaaand we're out!
