Six Problems with Vegan Chili

October 31st, 2008 by staff

Their dreadlocks make it too stringy.


If you use canned vegans, there’s always bits of sandal that didn’t get processed out.


Lack of flavor because the meat’s too young and lean.


With fresh vegans, their big bleeding hearts make a mess in the kitchen.


You feel guilty eating them when you think about how they must have been raised.


The supply’s too scarce outside the big cities.

Still, God love ‘em, the vegans mean well. Trying to eliminate the agony caused to mammals raised in horrible conditions and tortured until the sweet release of slaughter day comes. These vegans have accepted the notion that humans are not the only animals that feel pain—and that pain hurts. If they ate some stuff to increase the fatty buildups in their arteries, they’d know first-hand what pain is. Right, Meatboy?

Places to Leave Your Water Bottle

The simplest place to leave your bottle is a landfill. We realize humans don’t get to them as often us we roaches—we pity you. Still, you like what you like—we aren’t interested in changing you—we just want to cheer you on.

We’ve put together a short list of six great places you can use as disposal sites for your empty plastic water bottles. You’ve taken the trouble to avoid free tap water and even semi-free filtered tap water—don’t stop there. 1000 people, each tossing out 10 empty bottles a week for a year—that’s an amazing 500,000 bottles a year. Only 1000 people! Imagine how warm it will get if more than a thousand people drink bottled water.

Let’s face it human, if recycling was really going to really save your species—wouldn’t everyone be doing it?

Pitch it in a bay.

If you live close to a bay (or any water) use it for your personal water bottle “recycling” program.

Stow it in a dumpster.

Dumpsters feed landfills and landfills feed global warming. A dumpster is a perfect place for your empties.
