At that point, just eat meat.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I never understood that either. I always thought that maybe I had to be a vegetarian to see it differently.

Maybe the food companies are working on the assumption that, like dogs, vegans don't know it's not bacon.

Is that a shot at the companies or the vegans? Or both?

Beef fry aka fake bacon is seriously good. My in laws who keep kosher eat it.

What kills me is that I can't get fake cheese products that don't trigger my gag reflex. They taste awful and don't melt like the real thing. Vegans need to figure that out so I can eat pizza again.

Dang virgins ruining the thread with their weird sexual appetites!

He could have sex with worse things than food...

I just did a Pork Shoulder Chop in the oven along with some chips ... if that's the last thing I eat I'll die satisfied.

Chances are though I'll just wake up tomorrow morning with gout. Oh well, TOTALLY WORTH IT!

That sounds like a karate move, as performed by pigs.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Porkers! Yet another way bacon can kill you.

On a somewhat related note, I just recently evacuated my bowels, and in the process had an epiphany: when the toilet becomes too small to do this procedure comfortably, it's time to either get a bigger toilet or a smaller ass. ("Arse," to those continentally displaced. ) I'm not good at plumbing, so it looks like I'm gonna have to start watching what I eat, or worse, exercise. Becoming a vegetarian could be an option, but sooner or later I'd probably kill myself.

I've never tried fake bacon. It's weird that vegetarian/vegan products are made to look and taste like meat. I tend to stay away from products like that, it's a hollow shell of what it mainly is not. Luckily more and more stuff tastes like something completely different, their own flavors.

If you follow a vegan diet, you have both my respect and sympathies. Not eating pizza? Oh god, the horror.

Hasbro done stuffed up.

OMG, how did that ever make it past QC?

Unless they did it on purpose. As the saying goes, "bad publicity is better than no publicity."

YA DUN GOOFED HASBRO!

Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Yes, it's one part of a two part set, the other part being the plunger, but they still would have been designed differently.

But the whole thing ... even if you took the "veins" off it still has the head. Whoever designed it had to know what they were doing, no one could be that oblivious.

Maybe this is Hasbro's way of side-stepping over into the adult toys market...?

Move it on over, Nexus Prime. Play-Dohng is on the looses!

You know, if that were to backfire on the girl ...

Drugs are bad mmm'kay.

Well I suppose that's what you get when you smoke something made from battery acid and drain cleaners.

I wonder if duragrip's ever been stuck in a closet.
