Man up and get a turkey!

Kaul was a communist in Des Moines and has gone downhill from there. His biggest claim to fame was writing “funny” articles about high school girls’ basketball. Perv in sheep’s clothing.

Now, however, my wife and I have become vegans. Our Thanksgiving dinner will feature no turkey or ham. It will feature … vegetables. That’s what vegans eat — vegetables. “Nothing with a face,” my stormtrooper vegan sister-in-law is fond of saying.

It sounds like the decision to be a vegan was his wife's idea (egged on by her sister), rather than his own, and he does not like it.

I would just tell my wife's side "Be as vegan as you want, I'm making myself a steak".

My daughter's best friend is a vegan, but she does not demand that anybody else be vegan. When she eats over at our place, we just make sure to make some veggie sides that she can eat. Sometimes macs & cheese.

Turkey doesn’t break as many vegans as does bacon, and there’s a reason. People have taste buds for salty, sweet, bitter, sour, and a fifth taste, called “umami” or “savory”.

Bacon is unique in that it has 6 different kinds of savory in it. While most meats have some of 1 kind, and anchovies have about 4 kinds bacon is the home run of savory.

Now imagine what it would be like if your food lacked one of the other four tastes. After a while, you would totally crave it.

We still have the Thanksgiving tradition of giving thanks for our blessings. Religious people give thanks to their God, non-believers to the Unknowable Void that makes things happen for reasons of its own.

This year I’m giving the Void thanks...

Good luck with that.

What liberal claptrap!!!!

He talks about a vegan Thanksgiving, then moves on to slamming the Republican party, and how thankful he is for the foibles and gaffes of Republicans.

I’m sure this dude never ever saw any flaws or gaffes from Mr. Barack Hussein Obama. No siree................

Just curious, can anyone think of anything that has not become politicized?

The day was an excuse for a gathering of the clan, without religious significance or pressure to buy everybody a useless present.

Was apparently a lefty vegan-in-waiting for a long time.

Vegetarians and vegans are just annoying. They can't help but sound pompous about not eating "dead flesh."
But then almost all of them have iron deficiency to some extent. THAT obviously affects their brains in a most unsatisfactory way.

Being vegan is a very unhealthy lifestyle.

Happy Thanksgiving

[Chode]

feh... let the useless eater file down his canine teeth then and become his inner bovine

Dear Mr. Kaul,

We are your testicles. We do not know why you abandoned us but we wish you a very happy life without us. Pay no attention to the fact that the people you are laughing at are having a great time laughing at you.

LOL, FauxMan whines away the hours writing tripe about a Vegan Thanksgiving, and attacking Republicans, because he is afraid to confront the "Vegan Mafia" directly to tell them "I don't want to be a Vegan any more (sniff, sniff)".

Vegan/vegetarian

Old Indian way of saying “no good at hunting”

[TrueKnightGalahad]

Envy Adams: Didn’t you know? Todd’s vegan.
[Todd flings Scott through a brick wall into an alleyway outside.]
Scott Pilgrim: [standing up.] Vegan?
Todd Ingram: It’s not really that big of a deal.
Scott Pilgrim: No kidding. Anyone can be vegan.
Todd Ingram: Ovo-lacto-vegetarian, maybe.
Scott Pilgrim: Ovo-what?
Todd Ingram: I partake not in the meat, nor the breastmilk, nor the ovum, of any creature with a face.
Envy Adams: Short answer: being vegan just makes you better than most people.
Todd Ingram: Bingo.
[Todd punches Scott and sends him, screaming, high into the air and out of sight.]
Stephen Stills: Hey, man, question: I always wondered, how does not eating dairy products give you psychic powers?
Todd Ingram: [rolls eyes.] Okay, you know how you only use ten percent of your brain? That’s because the other 90 percent is filled with curds and whey.
Kim Pine: [dismissive.] Did you learn that at vegan academy?
Todd Ingram: Go ahead and get snippy, baby, but if you knew the science, maybe I’d listen to a word you’re saying.
