Thursday is here! And that means that we at the ljdq once again want to remind or invite you to play the quiz of the week. This offer expires soon, so hurry up and get your entries in before the cutoff date, and you might win the grand prize!

Rules Note: Although we say that the deadline is Friday night, if you submit on Saturday you still have a good chance of getting your entry seen and recognized. Friday just makes things more convenient and organized, and we're all about that kind of thing. So play now! Hurry! Time is running out!

In other news, I'm hungry.



I think the last panel sums up my tendencies with unfailing accuracy.



qwantz writes funny comics with dinosaurs. Heed his wisdom. And go play the quiz.

Hey, one of my housemates last year was effectively a flexatarian- ate meat if she didn't like any of the veggie options and didn't want to complain or be a pain in the arse.

(Seriously, you're everywhere!)

[missfahrenheit.livejournal.com]

Fair enough, but I warn you- I'm quite boring :P

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

There are no "innocent" LJers.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Verily, I insinuate against your illusion of innocence.

[mamajoan.livejournal.com]

well, maybe the word, but not the concept. There ARE people who are vegetarian except when it's inconvenient. I could go on about how they give us real vegetarians a bad name, yadda yadda, but whatever.

[nihilistbear.livejournal.com]

nope. It was in Cosmo which is of course the Bible. Or soemthing.

But seriously. It was in Cosmo

[katieledge.livejournal.com]

That's brilliant! The golly gosh- darned scurvy- gets you every time!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

It's the only reason to eat those fruits and veggies. Meanwhile, BACK TO MEAT!

[fizrep.livejournal.com]

That line slew me.

[germankitty]

Erm ...I happen to like (truly, honestly!) both meat AND *gasp* veggies and fruit. (I've even been known to eat the latter two in their raw state ... which I've actually done with meat/fish as well [mmm, steak tartare/sushi!], but not that often.)

Does that make me a bad LJ'er? (I renounced all pretensions at innocence long before joining LJ.) *worried look*

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Nope. It makes you a good person. Eat all things that are eatable! OMNIVORES UEBER ALLES!

[pheltzer.livejournal.com]

Hmmm I must have been a schoolcafatarian then... I gave up eating meat but only because I was tired of the mystery meat and rubber chicken options in the dorm cafeterias at college. Of course off campus I was a full blooded tremendomeatatarian.

Or maybe I was an anti-flexitarian... I only ate vegetarian when the carnivorous options were too vile too even consider

Yarrr!

SCURVY! Every time I see the word scurvy (and I swear, it comes up more frequently than you might think), I think of the song by Captain Bog and Salty, which nearly had me peeing myself the first time I saw it. "Eat a lime! 'Cause scurvy don't taste good!"

What of those who eat fake meat but don't know it's fake?

not boca burgers but like bacon bits. i love telling people they're not eating bacon but partially hydrongenated vegetable oil.

Of course, they might be looking at me funny because I actually know what fake bacon is ...

[pheltzer.livejournal.com]

And the closely related crypto-vegetarians.... people who've given up eating meat but still want the experience of eating meat. Folks who order Boca Burgers, or VeggieBurgers or, Soy Dogs, or whatever. From the outside they're still buying into the whole meat eating world, they're just making themselves feel better about it. :)

[thecolourclear.livejournal.com]

ok, but boca burger are REALLY good ...

[shirenomad]

*nods* I'm a carnivore and I'll still eat them. Light-years better than the cardboard most veggie burgers are made of.

(...hmm, I need a good "hungry" icon.)

[babyslime.livejournal.com]

I like the Yves... I ate those before becoming a vegetarian, because I liked "fake" burgers better than real.

[yak-boy.livejournal.com]

I saw the scariest thing in the supermarket yesterday. It was called Cavi-Art, and was vegitarian caviar, made from seaweed.

PSA.

[angledge.livejournal.com]

LJ has an RSS feed for Dinosaur Comics.

[ginalin.livejournal.com]

I'm wearing sheepskin boots and I don't care. My poor foots are warm for the first time this winter.

I think I qualify as an "unrepentant carnivore".

*makes velociraptor noises*

I love animals...in every sense of the word. They're fun and delicious.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Fun, tasty, and utilitarian! Soft and cuddly, sweet and tasty, warm and fuzzy! What's not to like?

[feste.livejournal.com]

The smell.

[jaebird.livejournal.com]

Now I want a taco.. :(
*tummy rumbles*
All this talk of food as I go down the page.. I don't even remember what I'd been going to say!

[obsidianshadows.livejournal.com]

Don't Meddle in the affairs of Carnivores, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup, just like every other little furry creature.

[david-deacon.livejournal.com]

More gin, please. Make it Plymouth.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Tanqueray 10 or Mulacca for me, please. Mmmm, gintacular.

[david-deacon.livejournal.com]

If you know where to find Tanqueray Malacca, I wish you'd tell me. I can't find any around where I live. Do they still even make it?

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

I've got a dealer who gets it to me from Connecticut. I have yet to find it on my own, alas. Because it is one FINE TASTING gin.

[david-deacon.livejournal.com]

Connecticut gin smugglers. You learn something new every day.

[lazy-alex.livejournal.com]

I'm partial to either Bombay Sapphire, or Hendrick's myself.

Hendrick's is particularly fine.

[kittycatness.livejournal.com]

I'm a lacto vegetarian. But I don't drink milk.

I was told that I wasn't a vegetarian because I eat goldfish crackers. and teddy grahms.

But I'm not vegetarian because I'm all gung-ho animal rights (even though cows are oh-so cute). I'm vegetarian because I don't like the way that animals are treated before they die. And because I think eating meat is like eating my cat. And my cat and I are BFF fo' reelz, yo.

[obsidianshadows.livejournal.com]

There is just something pathologically fascinating about eatting goldfish and teddy grahms and animal crackers, or is it just the scene out of Armeggedon with the crackers, that makes them taste so good.

[kittycatness.livejournal.com]

There is something fascinating about disapproving the consumption of cute cows and fuzzy little animals, but then going home and biting the heads off little giraffes. It sounds very wrong, but it's not.

or is it wrong and I'm just not realising it?

[obsidianshadows.livejournal.com]

Nah its not wrong, it is a social order imposed on the people to prevent them from trying to tame zoo animals and making them pets.

[kittycatness.livejournal.com]

I always considered it entertainment for young children so that their imaginations would be stimulated. But I also agree with the "social order" idea.

[georgemydear.livejournal.com]

Huzzah for meat!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Damn straight. We're playing for high steaks here.

[feste.livejournal.com]

You've definitely got the chops to be a master of puns. You, sir, are a cut above the rest.

*chucks you under the chin*

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

All lovers of puns are welcome to be my mignons. An army of punners, ready to flank purveyors of other base humors who gristle at our jokes.

[spyderqueen.livejournal.com]

I am TOTALLY a tremendomeatatarian

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Good enough for cavemen, good enough for me! BRING ON THE MEAT!

foood!

[themommage.livejournal.com]

I am a chocolate-ovarian. In other words, my ovaries decide how much and how long I subsist entirely on chocolate.

Re: foood!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. Full credit!
