Okay, it's official. This ain't right...

[flvegan]

So I'm cooking for the last 3 hours. I've cooked up quite the spread:

Certified humane hardboiled eggs (don't ask);
Broc, steamed w/garlic;
Yellow squash, diced and fried quite nicely in an oil/soy sauce mixture;
Green beans, also in oil, dash of garlic, dash of ginger;
Carrots, in a buttery sauce with a pinch of nutritional yeast;
Tofu, fried in an olive oil/grapeseed oil mixture, tossed with peanut sauce;
Green peppers, steamed and then sauteed in a marinade that I can only describe as divine;

It's all organic and fresh. It's all for my dog. It'll last 3 days, 2 meals a day.

Me? I'm having a couple Boca-esque burgers and faux mac 'n cheeze, which, btw, I haven't started "cooking" yet.

:wtf:

He's not getting sip number one of my beer, though.

I'm SO glad that I'm the boss...

[RevolutionaryActs]

1. I was just about to post:

"Dude, can I be your dog?"



But then I thought that sounded kind of weird, so I changed my mind. :crazy:

[Haole Girl]

4. lol

:rofl:

[flvegan]

6. Probably best that way.

You, um, know how I am. I'd have read WAY too far into that, suggested some sort of debauchery, made lewd remarks. You know, that old chestnut.

[RevolutionaryActs]

7. You? NEVER!

;)

[ET Awful]

57. If it was good enough for Iggy Pop

:P

Now I wanna be your dog . . . :evilgrin:

[HCE SuiGeneris]

2. Just make sure you have the poopy scoop

at the ready after dinner...:hide:

[Shine]

3. Wow, that's some beloved dog!!

I knew somebody once who used to do something similar, cooking up a big ole batch of food for his ancient dog. It was really quite sweet, albeit time-consuming.

I hope your dog appreciates all your efforts! :D

:hi:

His food sounds delicious, btw! Did you make enough for you, too?

[Dangerously Amused]

5. No kidding dude, you're doing it all wrong.

Haven't you heard? "Cook for a dog, and you feed him for three days. But teach a dog to cook, and you feed him for a lifetime."

[flvegan]

8. With only one hind leg...

he's not going to be stove-worthy.

Besides, he could cook like Yan and I'd STILL have to drain his tofu for him.

[RetroLounge]

9. I wanna be your dog...

10. I love Joan.

She's the coolest. She's P!ink before P!nk knew she wanted to be P!nk.

I love P!nk, too.

Call me, Joan...P!nk...

[Generic Brad]

11. I want to eat at your house

That menu sounds totally delicious! If I ever get reincarnated as a dog, will you be my owner?

[flvegan]

13. No dog should ever want to be mine.

Before you enter my rescue, you have to be severly mistreated. Severely.

[rug]

12. That egg got better treatment than the prisoners at Guantanamo.

[flvegan]

14. Come again?

An egg is a thing. Prisoners at Guantanamo are people.

[rug]

16. And the egg was treated humanely.

[flvegan]

17. When you want to make sense, let me know, k?

Sort of like treating a Ford Escort humanely, eh?

mark

[astral]

35. So, now you're attacking Ford Escorts, eh?

flvegan says:

mark

Hey, I have a Ford Escort which I treat very humanely, and it'll be 18 years old this year.

Oh, my secret? I don't feed it steamed broccoli & garlic. So it's no threat to third world nations.

[flvegan]

38. Is that a "free range" Ford Escort?

The third world nations hate your Escorts for their freedoms.

27. What the hell are you talking about?

You post about a certified humane egg, whatever the hell that is. It strikes me that more care was given to that chicken than the government's prisoners in Cuba. And you make obtuse remarks about Ford Escorts.

Yeah, kinda, well, stupid.

32. Okay, seriously, did I step into the Twilight Zone?

How was his remark rude?

[rug]

34. Pitt, before i correct your spelling, I'll ask you a question.

Do you objectively believe that post is an attack?

Now, as to your spelling: it's non sequitur and transcendent.

As to "deranged", "nonsensical" and "scattershot", I defer to your greater output and intimacy with the subject.

I suspect your appearance here has little to do with the post.

Now, don't you have anything more important to do in the next 24 business hours?

[Zhade]

37. That last line, now THAT'S an attack.

Your initial post wasn't even CLOSE to an attack, which is why the anger it aroused makes so little sense.

18. Yer vet tole ya to feed yer dog this way?

OK -- next time ya goes to the vet, explain the problem yer havin and ask the vet to prescribe yer dinner, too.

[flvegan]

20. My vet doesn't "get" my dinner

All too many vets think vegans are, well...kookoo.

Sort of goes hand in hand with doctors, though. Most wouldn't know nutrition if it bit them on the ass...

[wildhorses]

19. this lady i know that rescues greyhounds from the racetracks

feeds her dogs a concotion of dry food, wet food chopped in small pieces, dogfood gravy, yogurt, mountain spring water. this has to be warmed in the microwave. dogs can not eat cold food says she

[flvegan]

21. Crazy is as crazy does....

I'm not going to say that the diet isn't proper without knowing ingredientes, but to say a dog can't eat cold food...???

Microwave...yeah, okay. Whatever.

[wildhorses]

44. the meals are prepared in the dog's kitchen....this is a small

kitchen room right off from the people's kitchen...this is the truth, i swear it

[BarenakedLady]

22. And that...

is why you are my hero.

31. Oh my god.

I can not believe this thread.

:rofl:

[Zhade]

33. Yeah - The OP attacking someone for NOT attacking the OP is something.

I truly don't understand how the point about dogs in the U.S. eating better than some third-world people can be even REMOTELY considered an insult, if the words "you suck for feeding your dog so well" or similar appears nowhere in the 'attack'.

It's... bizarre.

[LeftyMom]

36. I addressed why it's inappropriate in post 81.

:shrug:

[Zhade]

39. I responded.

The situation you describe is not in the OP; we had NO IDEA it would be inappropriate.

[u4ic]

40. In my next life

I want to come back as one of your dogs. :D




(I used to do similar for my parrot...)

[Dastard Stepchild]

41. drool.....

except for the eggs. You can leave those for the poochie. :)

We're currently running the gamut on meal preparation ideas for our delightful little pal, Crooks. He has one of the most awful cases of IBD I have ever seen in a cat. Poor thing is skin and bones. Our vet has suggested we try boiling lamb for him.

Me... cooking lamb? I might have to outsource this one. :)

My wonder baby:

[Zhade]

42. Now that we know, I'm sorry about your dog.

It's a sad situation, and I understand the worry. It doesn't justify the lashing out at an innocent poster, BUT! I completely understand how you feel.

(And if it matters, the dog is eating better than YOU are, from the looks of things!)

There. Now go apologize to the poster, give your dog a nice petting, and relax with that beer! No one here means you harm. Go in peace and enjoy your evening.

:)

[Danger Mouse]

43. In the end...

I'm sorry to hear about your dog. I had this one dog from when I was a toddler to age 14...we were babies together. It was hard losing her, and 11 years later, I still miss her a lot. Our dog got attacked by a pit bull last night, and though she was unharmed, it gave us a hell of a scare...
However, I still don't think the way you've acted towards me was warranted. Oh well.
Your dog seems to be in good hands. It's touching that you go to such trouble to ease its pain.

[billyskank]

45. I got a message coming in for flvegan...

...he wants your beer too. :P

[PVnRT]

46. I think we can add to our list of stoopid flame wars

Arguments over the humane treatment of eggs and Guantanamo prisoners. Because EVERYTHING is about politics. Taking a break from thinking about politics is like enabling Bush.

[Little Wing]

47. There were 107 replies to this, 39 are still alive

Are humane eggs the new Olive Garden?

[LeftyMom]

48. They might be.

We (the OP and I) were discussing this last night on the phone as we watched this thread lose about 60 posts, and we thought it might be. I'm pretty proud of him, he inadvertently started his very own nonsensical lounge flame war. :)

[Left Is Write]

50. I'm just seeing this thread for the first time this morning.

Upon seeing all the deleted posts and sub-threads, all I could think was, WTF happened here??

[LeftyMom]

51. Let's see

Somebody told flvegan his dog eats better than humans in poor countries. Somebody else said the eggs were better treated than people at Gitmo. Sniping ensued. WillPitt showed up, so of course somebody tried to start a fight about the Rove indictment story. There was a long argument about what comments were offensive and which weren't. Apologies were demanded, but not given.

It was stoooooooooooopid. Olive Garden stupid, even. :eyes:

[Midlodemocrat]

53. But was it Cracker Barrel

stupid? I missed the whole thing, but boy, it sure looked like a pretty silly flame war.

[Left Is Write]

54. Even if the eggs (and chickens) are treated better than the people

at Guantanamo, what does that have to do with flvegan's food for his dog? Good grief - HE'S not responsible for what happens at Gitmo!

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

55. now this folks, this is a way to start ur week.

:eyes:
:rofl:

[Danger Mouse]

63. Someone started a fight about the rove indictment thing?

That part I do not remember.

[LeftyMom]

66. Somebody made a snotty comment to WillPitt about it

Something about 48 business hours. Without context on that whole mess and the poo flinging in GD about it, one might not know that was meant as a dig.

[Danger Mouse]

85. Ah, so that's what he meant!

Actually, when Zhade commented that it was 'an attack' I had no idea what he was referring to...
but now I do.
Thanks for clarifying.

[sniffa]

59. my bad

[In_The_Wind]

49. but it all sounds good to me.

When will the boca-burgers be ready?

[Midlodemocrat]

52. You are amazing. That dog is so lucky to have you.

:hug:

[LaraMN]

56. Wanna come over and feed my kids?

You're one heck of a great dog-parent! I don't know what the hell you're getting flamed about and I'm not sure I want to. Taking care of those you love is an honorable thing.

:bounce:
:thumbsup:

[Danger Mouse]

62. It wasn't like that.

If you were here to read the thread, you would've seen.
I don't blame the mods for deleting it all, though...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

67. whatever people issues are this what not the thread to hash em out it

this was clearly a lounge cutesy thread.

and should not have been hijacked for any reason.

[Danger Mouse]

84. Noone 'hijacked' the thread at all.

Like I said, it wasn't like that.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

58. deliberate flamebait!!

:P

:rofl:


various other smileys that imply that i think most people are fools!

[Danger Mouse]

64. Did you even read the thread last night?

nt

[ironflange]

60. Is it a free-range beer?

Certified rat-free?

My mom used to say that beer gets its distinctive taste from the rats that fall into the vats at the brewery. Ewww. Good thing they're all covered these days. :beer:

[UncleSepp]

79. It's battery farmed beer

You should see the poor beers. Cooped up in a bottle and crammed twenty in a case like that! It's horrendous. That's why I have made it my mission to liberate as many of the poor captive beers as possible. Beer for freedom!

[flvegan]

82. Never leave the other 4 behind!

24 in a case!!! 24 in a case!!!

The Beer Liberation Front thanks you.

BLF 4-eva!!!!!!!!!

[eyepaddle]

61. This thread reminds me of the time a roommate started a fire when

he rolled over onto a candle in his sleep--it ignited the down blanket, a nearby couch cushion, the carpeting and subfloor. I came out of my room to take a leak and was confronted by: 1) a horrible stench (burned upholstery) 2) feathers EVERYWHERE (the fire started a convection cell and spread fluffy down, as we were drunken and baked college students the down glued itself to the areas of spilled beer) and 3) COLD. (To air the place out, the imbecile tried to open a window, when the one he picked was stuck, he broke it open with a broom handle.

All 3 of these observations hit me pretty much simultanesously and I had a gargantuan "Dude What the F*ch?!?!??!?!?" moment.

Yep, this thread is a lot like that....

:rofl:

[BikeWriter]

65. Your dog would love some fresh meat.

[flvegan]

68. And yet...

I love him too much to feed it to him.

[LeftyMom]

69. He wants some treats.

Sorry I'm too busy to whip any up tonight. :(

I could walk you through making some if he can't wait.

[flvegan]

70. I'll tell him you said that.

"Too busy" indeed.

I hope you don't fall out of his good favor for this one...

[LeftyMom]

72. He'll understand if you tell him why.

Tell him if everything goes okay tomorrow I can get some made tomorrow night, plus some brownies for the fat guy. :P

[BikeWriter]

71. Okay, but he is a carnivore and knows it.

[flvegan]

73. No, he's an omnivore.

Look it up.

[BikeWriter]

74. So am I, but I crave meat, as chimps do at times.

The wolves your dog evolved from eat the vegetable contents in the systems of some of their prey, but it's not like they ignore the meat.
A serious question, was Einstein a vegematarian for more than the last year or so of his life?

[flvegan]

75. You really want to do this?

Okay...

The "wolves (my) dog evolved from" might have also eaten the meat. Stipulated. However, the meat those wolves ate wasn't of the shit quality slung in dog food and supermarkets these days. Hell, had those "wolves" had the level of 'roids and growth hormone in "meat" today, they'd rule the planet. I won't bother going into the multitude of studies showing that veg*ism today is an incredibly positive, healthy alternative to the typical diet. My dog also hates the idea of fucking up the environment, a la factory farms, and he hates the inefficiency of converting a calorie of plant matter into a calorie of animal flesh for human consumption. He's pretty damn smart like that...even if he is, "only" a dog.

Next:

Einstein...I wasn't there, so I don't know. Why? Oh, and I DO hope the response is good...

[BikeWriter]

77. I only asked because I thought you sincere...

enough a scholar to give me a good answer. It's something I've never researched and thought you may have. That's okay, ASS U ME I was f'ing with you and fagettabout it.

[flvegan]

78. Indeed.

[BikeWriter]

80. Okay, fine, but I did tell you it was a serious question....

You and I have posted a few, though I admit, very few polite times to each other. :rofl:

[flvegan]

81. I do believe that

I answered it sincerely, and politely. If I didn't, or if simple perception is to blame, then allow me to apologize in advance.

Again, I don't know for how long, if at all, he was a "vegematarian" nor for what reason. Google might help you out. Don't see what that has to do with this thread, though. Seems a little...off-topic, if you will.

[BikeWriter]

83. The subject came up on another of my forums. Anyway...

how often have we ever stayed strictly on topic around here? Okay, admit I nailed your soy loving butt on that one and I'll go research Einstein myself since you don't want to share. :-)

[flvegan]

86. My "soy loving butt"

Your animosity towards me on this is not what I'd expect from you, nor any DUer.

If you don't like me, that's fine. If you don't like my choices, then that's also fine. As for "sharing" my "research" I think I was pretty clear...I wasn't there, and therefore don't know.

If you want to dance, come out and say it. I love to dance, though not so much with folks talking about "nailing (my) soy loving butt" so much.

[BikeWriter]

90. Forget it. I was trying to make light of our differences, but...

just f'ing forget it.

[flvegan]

92. As you know

this is something that I appreciate, and you and I have had some good laughs over. I still have the joke you PMd me. A favor...be a tiny bit more obvious when "nailing (my) soy butt" okay? Out of respect, I don't always take what you say as a joke in these regards.

K, 'pard? (see, I pay attention)

[sakabatou]

76. Some of that stuff sounds good...

[LeftyMom]

87. Wait a minute. You made him carrots and eggs?

Damn. That's love. :loveya:

[flvegan]

88. There are tales of green beans, as well.

Vile, disgusting veggies that they are.

I'm no squash fan, either, but I love my dog. He loves them, so I must love preparing them.

Ick.

[LeftyMom]

89. He's so spoiled.

Di you dislike all squash or only certain kinds? I usually put some in veggie fajitas, when I make you some am I going to have to remember to leave it out?

[flvegan]

91. Hmm

I only dislike certain squash in certain situations.

Example: that orange summer squash, with the consistency of baby poop? Ew x 20.

Stuffed squash or acorn squash, est tres yummi!

I'll have to forward you the "flvegan squash FAQ" handout.

[LeftyMom]

93. "the consistency of baby poop"

Ah, the silly things that escape the lips of non-parents. :rofl: That could be anywhere from "soup" to "play doh" to "pea gravel" depending on age, health and diet.

You're as picky as I am. :eyes:

[flvegan]

95. I could have said

"the consistency of stress-induced dog shit" but I thought more folks would get this.

[LeftyMom]

96. I had some idea of what you meant.

This is a strange conversation, even for us. :eyes:

Did you notice I called you?

[idgiehkt]

94. what the hell?

did someone really sign up as 'name removed' on here today or something?

:rofl:
