View Full Version : Been absent so long from Lit. Network that I feel like a newbie.

I've been wandering in the cyber wilderness for more than three years before finding my way back to the Literature Network posting portal. Which by my way of thinking (and someday I will try and explain exactly how that process works) is the Baskin Robbins 31 forum flavors of internet interaction.

So here are my 'name, rank, and serial number' bonafides and a sampling of my peevish dislikes, as well as a politically incorrect cause that is close to my heart. (burn)
************************************

My name is Glen Michael Wilson. My username is wordwaymike. Some people think that my username should be wordwayglenn, or wordwaywilson, and I suppose that it could be. If I wanted a user name that projected an image of my persona as being a sallow faced, anemic Vegan.

Now, let me say at this time that I refrain from episodes of self loathing for the most part, so I have no negative issues with people that are named Glen. But I do feel that it is pretentious to add a second n to the name. What's that all about?

Now all of you two n Glens out there just count to 10, and focus your impotent "two n" rage on some one else. OK? I'm just mad that I got painted with the same dang name brush! (Was the previous statement a joke? Or a desperate cry for help? Could it be both? Is there a fourth answer?)

Nor am I down on pasty-faced individuals as a general rule of thumb. To be honest, I must come clean and admit that I am, in fact uhhhmmm.... lacking a tan. I stated that I didn't want to be envisioned as a sallow-face, ultra-violet rays deprived type of individual. I said nothing about whether or not I resembled that remark.

And I want to make it perfectly clear that I am not so blatantly stupid as to openly, and publicly trash talk someone who has a serious blood disorder such as anemia. Which is why I have done so anonymously, by hiding behind my fictitious username. I mean, just because some one's blood has an iron deficiency doesn't mean that he or she won't beat you like a rented mule with a pick ax handle until you're unconscious, and bleeding out faster than a Hemophiliac that's been hog-tied with razor sharp concertina wire.

As for Vegans... Personally, I feel that these lactose intolerant, meatless wonders should merely be pitied and not scorned. I have nothing at all against vegetarians, or vegetables for that matter. In fact, I love vegetables. So much so that if them leaf eaters would just let me add a little meat to the vegi mix each week I would happily join their ranks. But No!

Why can't these photo-synthesis dependent, green tea intoxicated malcontents and their sprout and tofu addicted cohorts let me incorporate and ounce or two of meat, or even some tasty meat by-product each week? I would be like a Jack Vegetarian. Which is a lot like how a whiskey drinking, cigarette smoking, female chasing Mormon is referred to as a Jack Mormon. Except that I'm without whiskey, smokes, and female hotties. Dang! Even those trouble making, bad boy fanatical Mormons are living a better life than me!

But hey! No shame to my game! I'm a flesh eating, bone gnawing, carcass loving meatie as I will call my gastro-intestinal kind, for lack of a better word springing to mind. And us meaties partake of animal protein with the same dignity and decorum that is displayed by a pack of wild Hyenas divvying up some antelope, that they just strong arm robbed from some dumbass lion. But that's nothing compared to the ferocity exhibited by veggers fighting over the last slice of quiche. Talk about take no prisoners for god's sake! So whether you're a meatie, or a vegger, in the final analysis a feeding frenzy is a feeding frenzy. It's all good! Errr... except for them folks that have developed a taste for meat that is considerably past its sell date. But let ye that has never eaten an old, green slice of bologna a time or two in your life cast the first bone! (And if there's any tasty meat left on it, you know that it's gonna be gone before you get it back!)

We (meaties) need to own our bone. And beat our aggravatingly noisy spirit drums with them! We can also make weapons with some of the bones. Then use them to bring down other animals that we can barbecue, fry, bake, broil, steam, sauté, baste, skewer, sear, etc. Us meaties also need an organization that is similar to P.E.T.A that would represent those among us that are carnivorously inclined. We need an advocacy group to highlight any, and all beneficial rewards that are offshoots of eating flesh.

Maybe I should have worded that last sentence in a less visually descriptive manner... But wake up and smell the beef tallow people! That's what's going on! And we shouldn't be made to feel ashamed of our meat loving ways. We are direct descendents of those cave dwelling, flea picking, Woolly Mammoth masticating knuckle draggers. Men who never met a four-legged beast that they didn't want to part out, and then pig out on. Which is why that every Thanksgiving since Fred and Wilma Flintstone left the cave and bought a pre-fab slab cave in Bedrock, the ancient carnivorous clan has united in small clusters nation wide to "have at it" as it were, until the Turkey's carcass is picked clean. And make no mistake, we love the symbology inherent in anything that we can eat that's correctly classified as a carcass.

So... You can have your leeks, and watercress my animal protein challenged brothers and sisters. And if I am not stoned to death by the Veggie Nazis for having some roast beef on my breath, I will even join you in a reverent prayer of thanks that praises the wonders of a baked potato, with butter, sour cream, and chives.

For it is good. Yea verily so.

Amen, and pass the Baco Bits!

Firstly, I'm not challenged for protein in any way. Vegetables have more protein than people realize. The biggest animals on the planet are vegetarians, so the stunted growth thing is a myth as well.

I have never been anemic in my life.

Lastly, I would never eat quiche. That sh*t's full of eggs.

hum.... baked potatoes very nice although a baked Alaska does not hit a miss either haha ;)
I eat from a wide variety of food but draw the lines when it comes to wild animals seas or air.
welcome back to the forum wordwaymike :)


P.S. about quiches Varenne I agree eggs can be a put off I do not like them either however a freshlymade quiche with one fresh egg or two I could just about get away with it. ;)

Yes, but only to make room for the enormous digestive tract and produce all that greenhouse making methane. ;) Oh and whales aren't actually vegetarians - sorry :D

Their digestive tracts aren't quite relevant to what I was saying, but that's cool information. As for the whale thing, I clearly wasn't thinking clearly. I was probably at least somewhat intoxicated.

Anyway, manatees, hippos, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, kangaroos, water buffalo, cows, horses, moose, and more do fine without meat. I do fine without meat. I'm not malnourished. I certainly don't obsess over a person's meat-lust the way they might obsess over someone else's choice to not eat meat.

Well actually I kind of think they are. If you were designed to eat only vegetation, you'd have an enormous midriff the size of the dome of St. Pauls' containing five stomachs, and you'd be personally responsible for the destruction of the ozone layer because you'd fart all the time. :devil:

There's a word for all those animals... now what is it? Ah yes, now I remember; it's "FOOD" :D

Not being privy to the contents of your personal pharmacy, I can't say honestly whether your nourishment is assisted by dietary supplements, but it's certainly not unusual for vegetarians to require them. Being on the slim willowy side can certainly make people attractive to each other, if that's their taste of course, but subsisting on leaves, berries and tubers does tend to keep a person thin. I don't think I've ever met a fat vegetarian. ;) This would seem to indicate that a vegetarian's diet is barely adequate to keep them alive :D

As for obsessing over a person's personal choice not to eat meat: this is less an obsession over the choice, but more to do with irritation at the self-righteous, holier-than-thou, messianic declarations of vegetarians, who, in defiance of evolution and in rejection of their own biology, go on and on about being a vegetarian, and what's more, usually without any provocation! ;)

Go on, eat a steak, you know you want to! :devil:
