Well, you keep reminding me that we suffer through vast amounts of snow out in the central, important, province of Canada

@Aegis: How did we all become so pc? In the original version of this one, it ended with making arrangements for "overwheight, pregnant moslems," and "SUV-owning soccer moms on Prozac, with parking problems."

Well, the chef at my chosen restaurant takes it as a challenge to create his first Vegan meal, and claims he's going to the beach to collect certifiably self-dead seaweed and pebbles. As for the union guy, he can stay home.

Bah, it may be wet, but it's not cold.

Well, that's just it. I've seen people attempt to boycott restaurants simply because they did not offer vegetarian and vegan meals. Wishing someone a merry Christmas has become a religious assualt. The use of certain words (of which I won't go into because of forum policy) have been socially banned in order for more subtle ones.

As George Carlin wrote in his book 'When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops", everything is becoming euphamisms and politically Correct, and in the process, it is changing the very meaning and understanding of so many things. It's ridiculous.

Now, I'm not about to go out and curse someone to high-heaven, oops, swear a blue street. Can't be saying heaven now, can we. But, really, do we need to be changing so many means, and insinuations?

You are remarkably like a girl guide Hill, always prepared
Please don't tell me you have a cute little blue skirt and blouse hanging in your wardrobe alongside the c0cktail dresses!

Oh, the bottle has not been tampered with at all. Consider it an early Christmas present

Well yes, but that's different You don't "suffer" through vast amounts of snow out in that insignificant province, you enjoy it

*snorts* Yeah, pretty much sums it up, doesn't it?

I think it's all media-related. The media decides what's pc at the moment, and what isn't. It was far worse in the 90s, but it created a fertile market for conflict. Back in -93 I couldn't order a medium rare steak in a good LA restaurant because in 2 minutes the waiter would be there with a message from some broccoli-eating guest taking objection to my choice of meal and demanding that I order something else.
Luckily, I live in a country where the term "pc" is still something reserved for people with too much time on their hands. I employ 21 people in two different companies, and I make a point out of catering to most of their wishes and needs, as long as it's using common sense. I've taken the time to look up "Vegan" on the Nowherenet, and found out that there's more types of these people out there than there's insects on the planet. And they all disagree with each other... So, suicidal seaweeed it is, and if the pebbles got "soul" and "feelings" then send them to a shrink.

Well, a shrink or American Idol...

Vegans... are those the ones with the deathgrip in your neck?

No, they're the ones wearing the buttons saying 'Save the Planet, Kill Yourself"

Well, if you want, I can go and get the naughty boy scout outfit just for you...

Well, how else am I going to show off my legs without that silky black number?

Christmas present? From you? *pokes with stick to make sure it isn't a bomb*

Funny, really, when people hear that my spouse is a vet, they think she is a vegan too. She's more likely to stab a pig for bacon if she was hungry enough.

I'm still attempting to wrap my head around the allure of vegetarianism. I don't know how someone may live without a good steak from time to time...

What is all this holiday cheer rubbish? Bah humbug! And hell with you vegans, how is it that you expect to be healthy, oh lettuce lovers?

Kilt?

Vegans usually re-define the term "death warmed up." That is, if you want to go looking for them. They're also known for having their children's teeth fall out for lack of nutrition (yes, they reproduce) firebombing pig farms because they don't want people to kill animals and, on one memorable occasion, starving a whole community close to death because they couldn't find anything "pc" enough to eat. They're also known for their rather vigilant presence on the Nowhernet, so we'd better stop discussing this subject right now, or someone will show up to teach us the error of our ways.

What? Is someone going to bomb holiday cheer in protest of of consuming meat?

Well, in our defense, when they say we shouldn't eat living things, I firmly state that I eat nothing that's alive! That cow's been dead for a good couple days, at least, when I eat
