QuoteNext thing I know he forced me to ride on the back of his motorcycle all day, and would not let me off, because his girl friend was out of town and I was almost a woman.
Aw, he was just lonely.

i was at thunder in the valley this year in J-town. Didn't happen, but i wish it did :)
I was once accosted by a militant vegan friend of a friend for wearing a leather jacket. Word for word:
Him: "Do you have any idea how many cattle had to die so that you could wear that jacket?"
Me: "None. They died to be my dinner. The jacket is just me using the leftovers."
Him: <stunned silence>
Historically, the meat industry made profits on the byproducts (leather, bones, hair, etc). Now the profits come through the heavy subsidies in the bipartisan farm bills. Regardless, the typical synthetic (p)leather is inferior and too often made in sweatshops. There's no way to be completely consistent in a pro-animal, anti-leather way (assuming you consider human suffering to matter at all). I don't eat animals, but I do wear their chemically treated skins and am totally fine with that.

Also acceptable: "less than one - cows are big"

Don't worry about it. I'll eat your share of those cows.

No, at this point, my gloves are still moo skin. Mostly. I think the palm is goat.
My blazing red boots, however, used to hop across the outback.

FWIW, mine are actually Bambi on the palms, and Wapiti on the backs.
I know I can always come to the DMF for a good cheering up! ;D
Great story, some video footage would be priceless.
Mine are worn out...
Anyone slaughtering a cow soon?

Thank You [laugh]

Errr..no, culling of roos is strictly regulated.

However if one was to get in the way when you're shooting a rabbit, or when you're driving your SUV, you may as well make the most of it.

Just remember that Andy Kaufman was considered a comedic genius and it was mostly for his own amusement. ;)
If God didn't want man to eat animals He wouldn't have made them taste like meat.
Some guy asked me to sign some sort of anti-Global Warming bill outside a grocery store.
"No" I said.
"But the polar bears are dying!" he cried.
I said, "Those bastards eat baby harp seals."
He was silent after that.
