WEY - HEY ! An article which i wrote and submitted recently, about Respect, has been published in the recent copy of Vegan Views. So, yay for me ! (^0^)^ Whoooo ! Whoooo! It's in this issue, on page 12 - http://www.ibiblio.org/veganviews/vv110.pdf __________________________________ This is what i have said -

indeed so. I bought myself a copy through curiosity, and it contains helpful phrase/s for people who are vegetarian/vegan, in a whole variety of different languages. Of course, bear in mind that simply saying "I am vegan" or "I am vegetarian" in a coherent way linguistically, doesn;t mean that anyone will necessarily know what you mean. As is demonstrated regularly when saying this in our own languages, hehe. If in doubt, simply carry a carrot, a head of broccoli and a knife at all times. This has two purposes... Firstly, if you ever cannot find food, you have a carrot and some broccolli. Which is all that vegans eat anyway, apart from twigs and sticks I guess, so that should be thoroughly adequate for your needs. Also, if you start to shriek and stab the vegetables with a wild look in your eyes, it is like a universal way of expressing "I am vegan". The locals are guaranteed to love your quirky foreign ways and be amused and jovial with you, if you follow this approach.

I've never understood that piddly one-button official-mouse thing, either. I've been using an entirely non-Apple-standard Microsoft mouse , complete with 3 buttons and a rather snazzy infrared receiver and red light-up effect, ever since I got my Mac.... The most bizarre quote in favour of the one-button mice was one i saw recently on a Mac forum while trying (and failing) to figure out which keyboards might be a good move for Mac compatability, since likesay my official wireless Apple one is bumtastic... the quote was written, in all sincerity, by one of the hardcore pointy-head crew, and was as follows - "There's nothing wrong with the official Apple mice, if you aren't going to press Control and click, what's the point of even having a keyboard in the first place ?" .... which perhaps says something about their communication capabilities (I mean, whyever would you want to actually TYPE with a keyboard, eh ? Communication is for LOSERS ) , and seems to say incredibly little about the actual functionality (or sanity) of producing one-button mice for a 3-button system. OK, 2 buttons i could understand.... the 3rd one is used mainly for scrolling, after all, I could live without it but it would be a needless pain in the bum to have to.... but only having one is just.... well.... why ? Why only ONE ? It takes minimalism to extremes, to say the least !

? They are ? I wireless networked up my iBook and G4 on account of neither of them having floppy drives, and for simplicity purposes. It was pretty straightforward because it can be done via Networking, using Airport. I'm like, a tech person though, and don;t know what it's like to try that on PCs for comparison. haw haw.... you should see mine, it's fucking ridiculous ! I love it ! It's a fluorescent green iBook, with the overall result that it looks and feels like a kids' Speak 'n' Spell to use. I find it ridiculous that something which irrefutably looks designed to be used by preschoolers can do all of the neat things which it does I really enjoy my Maccy goodness which i have already...but...... my ex worked for Apple in Silicone Valley as part of the Quality Assessment crew, and had plenty to say about their (lack of) Q/A , so much so that that (combined with my tragic experiences of my pitiful and lifelong heavily bugged 40 Gb iPod (RIP after only 4 months of good care, I'm told by said ex that they know they're dodgy and that's precisely why they have only a 3 month long warranty.... they have board meetings to decide that sort of thing, so i gather) ) I wouldn;t want to buy anything new manufactured by Apple..... I would also advise anyone against getting the official fancy shmancy super expensive Apple wireless keyboard .... trust me on this one, you value your sanity too much to buy into the good reviews. Luckily for me, mine was a gift from aforementioned ex, so i don;t feel ripped off to have it.... just frustrated by its debatable functionality. Of course, i don;t know whether they're all this dodgy or whether mine was from an especially poor batch. I wouldn;t want to get another one, though. Ultimately, i adore my Mac stuff though..... I'm really happy that i have it, I despise the G4 case with a passion because it makes replacing components an absolute bitch, and my ex got so pissed off with his G4's case that he gutted it out and stuffed everything into a mini-cube PC case, with the result that it's now half the size with an extra small motherboard to replace the original one. It's very cute ! I wish mine had one of those ! hehe. It's also nice to be able to use an OS for 2 years running and not feel obligated to reinstall it every month or so. nice, that is. I always did my own PC teching due to not being loaded, so it didn;t save me money there to now use a Mac.... but it does make for an easier life overall tech-wise. Also, the eject button on the keyboard is very....very.... cute. It wins my heart !

I.. I... well, shucks ! (Astrocat walks along the red carpet and ascends onto a podium, signing autographs along the way, Astrocat waves to the adoring crowd while blowing kisses happily) Thanks, both of you...

Once Florsh takes off, Astrocorp should have enough profit-income to fund this.

I, too, had houmous at Christmastime. I have just finished the last of it now, along with peeled cucumber-sticks - which was quite odd, but rather enjoyable. Mine was gently spiced up, with mainly flavourful rather than heavy-chilli spices... so it had a warm sort of spiciness to it, and looked excellent. I've made myself some garish green houmous before though, because i made it with parsley - it was wonderful !

Your transparent efforts to confuse and discombobulate are trivial and meaningless against my superior earthling mental defences. Ha ! I suppose that you imagine that I am unaware that your master race of alien-beings is both raw-eating and vegan-lederhosen wearing , with the leaders wearing lederhosen made out of raw food. I suppose you imagine that my earthling brain can not comprehend that this is why they picked you both as embassadors of their species..... With one of you eating raw food, and the other wearing vegan-lederhosen, in order to each uniquely get a different alien perspective of the planet which your species has merited worthy of an invasion. Well ! I must tell you now that I have seen right through your plans, and that i remain resolutely unphased by your cunning, sneaky, alien vegan-beer-fuelled denials !

Hello, no. There's considerable evidence suggesting that when women wear bras their breasts go really droopy if they stop. I compare this to growing a plant inside and not jiggling the stem.... if the plant is then taken outside it will be saggy to the max.... but if it gets diligent jiggling or is put out in the wind to begin with, it won;t have an issue with that. Similarly, when breasts get extra support that bit at the top gets all feeble and unsupportive, if people just wear bras to do sports etc then that's excellent, as of course they can get quite a bouncing during sports otherwise which would lead to saggification i would think, but for everyday life then ... no, I don;t think it's necessarily a good idea to wear a bra unless you have REALLY huge breasts. In which case you're probably destined to have then down by your ankles by the age of 40 whatever you try to do with them, short of strapping them down industrially every day. And even that might not work, once you get them out of there. At any rate, if it's a choice of (A) be comfy for decades then have slightly sagging breasts, or (B) Have breasts which might sag a bit more, or might a bit less, but at any rate you have to wear phenomenally annoying and expensive bras all the time for decades Then, for me there's no dilemma. Every woman;s breasts will become saggy eventually anyway, unless they have exceptionally tiny ones, it's just a matter of time. Also, i think that daywalker and potter are secretly clones, sent here to confuse and disorientate the feeble human race in preparation for an invasion for the raw-eating vegan-lederhosen-wearing aliens from planet Sensational. This is backed up by the way that in the first picture, Alex is casting an evil spell in order to create a levatating post-apocalyptic world (the one shown in the picture). I imagine that later on, he cast an equally evil size-expansion spell, as the final step in the first part of what is clearly an elaborated method of matter transportation to assist his evil invasion plans.

I don't know which inflamed my appetite more - the delicious-looking vegan food, or that astonishing crotch-shot. I sucked virtual humbugs and did grinch impressions all Christmas, so i have no family photos to share.

how... bizarre. my eyesssss my eyessssssss

What's a moonraker plan ?

I still believe that Florsh is the Future .... I encourage people to consider it sincerely, as a very viable and sustainable solution to the present human population / select human selfishness / humans continuing to breed especially in dumbassed areas issues.

If the human race became extinct..... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/TGD/picture/0,,351113,00.jpg Of course, since humans aren;t going to become extinct in the long-term forseeable future (unless America blows everyone up, which is entirely within the realms of possibility considering the American government's history of aggression and the way things are going) , then i suppose the environment will continue to decay in the way which is so well publicised in modern times. That's how great the human race is for the planet. It seems to me that the only two options are : (1) voluntary partial human race non-expansion and recognition that the planet would be better off without humanity skanking it up , or (2) non-voluntary eventual partial human extinction due to the lack of environmental sustainability of the ever-expanding human race. This includes massive environmental destruction and the extinction of countless other species, in the process.

I think it's a good idea for everyone who wishes to refrain from having children, and who have no desire to increase the already heavily overpopulated human race, to do exactly that.... by choosing not to have children.

I wouldn;t touch AOL with a barge-pole. Even if it were the barge-pole of someone who I didn;t like very much. I certainly wouldn;t touch them with MY barge-pole, anyway. They have cooties.

Well.... given how offended you've managed to be already, I'm sure you would be only more offended if i were to say that you're a slacker and a quitter, taking the easy option in life, doing nothing to try and create a world without suffering, are irresponsibly making no effort to change things..... without bothering to ask you about what you're actually doing ? That would be considered to be belligerent of me, yes ? I suppose you imagine that would be different since I would be saying it, rather than you. Deriding people as a group rather than individually, doesn't make it all okay. Oh, and saying "this isn't a VHEMT appreciation topic" .. ? Very condescending. Nice. Very constructive. It is easy to dismiss something as "nuts" because you find it unusual, and easy to dismiss it without solid reasoning. But it is more progressive and constructive to explain why you disagree , than to just be derisive of those with different views. I am fed up of people in general trying to make out that the sun shines out of humanity's collective ass just because they happen to be human, and making out that it's amazingly unselfish to produce children in an overpopulated world, and selfish not to do so, and making out that people who don't choose to generate offspring are just some kind of irresponsible drain on the rest of fine, upstanding, responsible wonderful unselfish society .... it's incredibly biased to have such an approach. Not that anybody here necessarily feels that way - I'm just saying....

Aw....... http://media.funsmileys.com/smileys/big_hug.gif Man, that's a tricky situation if simply mentioning something like hen menses or bodily fluid extract incites Google to enthusiastically pimp such nonsense in our general direction I think you've been doing really well, I've noticed a big difference from when i first noticed the adverts. I now have one for weight loss products, one for the Thor raw vegan organic powder, one advert promoting the vegetarian meals on campus at a university, and the last one is for uhhhh.... maybe it's like..... um.... some sort of stuff you can get sent to a PDA... Anyway, I'm not sure what the last one is for.... but whatever it is reckons that it "Includes 700+ exercise videos and pre-planned workouts for your PDA" .... so once again, there are no irrelevant ones and even at least one particularly relevant one. You also achieved more in the last 24 hours than some people make the effort to achieve in their entire lives ! Doin' well, my friend, doin' well....

I think that adopting a child, or children, and raising them as ethically guided people is a wonderful idea for those who wish to raise a child or children. It improves life for those who have been abandoned, or whose parents are unable to look after them (for example orphans or those from very deprived areas of the world) On the other hand humans generating more children when the world already has many 'unwanted' children in need of a good home does considerably less, if anything, to counteract human overpopulation and the general decay of human society, in my opinion.

There is nothing wrong with recognising that the world was in a better environmental and ecological state before it became infested with humans, and nothing wrong with having the return to that less destroyed and exploited state of planet as an ideal. I am sure that we could say the same to you. Although probably, we would do so in a less condescending way.... It is hardly as if voluntary non-reproduction with the above aim is irresponsible. I think that it's belligerent to come into this topic and express that it is. How does producing a child or children help a human person to create a world without suffering ? Got any better ideas ?

I didn't lose weight, but lost a fair bit of toxic flab. I eat more now also, and I haven't been gaining more flab.

I think you're doing very well, and hope that Google gets the message and stops spamming your board with guff which isn't remotely appropriate. I haven;t seen any inappropriate adverts during the last couple of days. Just now I have the same Tescos vegan diet plan that i seem to get very often, a flab-loss thing involving drinking green tea, someone selling 'delicious vegetarian meals', and someone devising fitness workout plans for people. It's all good !

curtseys (applause surrounds Astrocat on all sides) (Astrocat steps up to a podium and accepts a bouquet of flowers graciously) (Astrocat waves to the clamouring crows) Thankyou, thankyou all, I feel so happy to win this award. It means so much to me, I ... I.... (bursts into delighted tears and descends from stage) ? I'm not sure what you mean by random though, as I have been doing my utmost best to sincerely endeavour to advise this young lady in her quest to pick up a buff young stud.

Just now, I have 2 adverts for free (thus no doubt sketchy) dating websites, another one for the same vegan diet which i clicked on before to find out what it was about, and one which i find bizarrely incoherent : only the actual URL gave me the faintest idea what is trying to be advertised by this - www.gymworld.co.uk I will make a hazarded guess that Bullworker might be some type of bodybuilding equipment ? I found the phrasing of the advert to be unusually "japlish"-style, so I could be entirely wrong about that though. At any rate, there aren't any more unveganly ones for me, just now.

ah, yes , yes, that's a good idea. Then you should say something captivating, unique and witty which will leave you memorable even if he just says hello and amicably strolls away absent-mindedly. For example, you could say : You : (seductive smile) Hi Hot bit of stuff : Hello You : I am heRE tO DEStroY yoU ALL, yOU puny EARThlinG... I shaLL deVOUr your SPECIes PUNY MINds onE by ONE mwaHAHAHAHAHAaaaa If he's even slightly interested in dating to begin with, then he is sure to be charmed by this fascinating and zany introduction, and will be sure to ask you out on a *hot date*
