How to piss PeTA off.

[gridlore]

Some days, being a scary truck driver with few remaining teeth has its advantages.

As you can imagine, eating, which was already a chore, has become an ordeal since the most recent round of extractions. I'm doing my best to keep food in my system, but it's difficult. Today at work hunger made it clear that I was going to need food now. So I stopped at a little center in Livermore that has (clockwise from top left) a Waffle House, KFC/A&W, McDonalds, and an Arco station with a pretty good snack shop.

I wanted chicken, but past bad experiences made me steer away from the KFC to McFood. But what's this? Protesters? In Livermore? WTF, over? These guys were only a few scant miles from Lawrence Livermore and Sandia National Labs! Go there!

Closer approach showed that these were militant vegans (no, fellow Traveller geeks, Ronald McDonald was not under K'kree assault) who evidently decided to waste a beautiful sunny day by protesting at what amounts to a mini-truck stop.

One of them tried to give me their spiel. "Oh, I'm a vegetarian." I assured him. "I just prefer to process my veggies through cows, pigs, and chickens first." I then gave him the scary 12-teeth-left smile.

Do not get between me and my chicken nuggets.

The sad, sad thing is that most K'kree would out think and have more individuality than most militant vegans.

Oh, well.

Speaking of Trav, have you ordered your T5 CD-Rom (http://www.farfuture.net/cdroms.html) yet? Supposedly to ship by "end of February" -- mere days away. Yay!

I always say I'm a "vegetarianarian". I only eat vegetarians.

It's made with people!!

LoL What are those idiots doing protesting a McDonalds? It's not even real beef in the first place...(but oh so tasty)...Why don't they go out to the processing plants and raise a stink? Oh yeah...it's because it smells -horrible- out there and they'd probably find themselves mixed into the ground beef. (MMMMmmmmm, PETA people...)

Actually, it's 'cause no one ELSE would be out there - no consumers they could guilt into changing their diet, just jaded factory workers who want to finish their shift and go wash off all the blood and crap they work in all day.
