Competition

I like haggis. It’s a bit bland, but the cooking style adds umami. Everyone is creeped out by the sheep stomach thing for some reason.

And yet they'll eat hotdogs.

Well to be fair I also eat hotdogs. I even like the natural casing ones more and they’re getting hard to get. They have a snap when you bite them that the caseless ones lack.

It's always been obvious to me that skirts make more sense for men, as do so-called girl's bikes.

yes and no. Triangles are strong. A stronger geometry means you can make the rest weaker which means lighter.
That extra 3 ounces doesn’t mean jack to a commuter, but in a 300 mile bike race it meant a good six feet which was the difference between a win and a loss. That old bromide “win on Sunday sell on Monday” applies to bikes too. Guys are suckers for that garbage. I see guys riding by my house all the time in low drag silks with fake sponsorship markings on them, and their briefcase an laptop in paniards on the back. Who are those logos for? The neighbor’s security cameras?

I thought we were talking about ball busting. For racing, everyone should have crossbars.

Yes, but you're not creeped out by sheep's stomachs, either.

Sort of. A “sit up and beg” style frame is generally more useful and comfortable in several ways, but is a bit heavier and has slightly poorer aerodynamics. They’re not race winners so people look down on them. It’s stupid IMHO.

True. I even eat the “special pho” at the Vietnamese resteraunts. Tendon turns out to make soup taste awesome, and super finely sliced tripe is like noodles but better. I like to eat animals and I don’t bother to pretend I don’t.

 

[Zazie]

I like to eat animals and wish I didn't. But I don't hide in shame, either.

 

[Letitia]

I love meat and have no problem with that. On the other hand I could never raise animals for slaughter. I'd end up with a couple hundred cows and pigs for pets.

 

[Zazie]

Yes, if I had to kill what I ate, I'd be a vegetarian in no time. An almost vegan, too (I could probably justify eggs).

 

[bombastinator]

I’ve caught and filleted some number of fish. I’ve even shot and beaten to death extremely large ones with a bat. (Ikishibi fishing is messier than sometimes described. Fatty tuna Sushi is still yummy though)
Might be right about large mammals though. Milk would be easy. Cows WANT to be milked. Those udders get heavy.

There’s a good chance that’s at least partially my fault. I have this compulsion to answer questions put to me. My personal view is any thread over about 3 pages is basically unfollowable anyway so I don’t worry about it much.

I did not mention hammerpants. I have a suspicion hammerpants will come back eventually with the senior center set. After all all you got to do is pull em up.

I hated that era tremendously. Hammer made it hard to get girls in Miami when I was in my late teens. Before him, it was the Latin lover scene and I couldn't get nuthin during that time either.

The struggle was real.

Now when I see these I can still smell Kourus cologne:

Not where I lived. It went directly to breakfast club. I had long hair shaved up one side and a single shoulder duster earring. Thank god I managed to destroy the few photos... I think.

Parachute pants were comfortable though which is often what makes an odd fashion stick around with old people.

Ahhh the memories. You are sparking my neurons and I like it. The Breakfast Club era kids were about 4 grades before me. My generations' teen movie was Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

A friend and I skipped school one day in the 7th grade. We went to my house and pierced our ears with a couple of ice cubes and a sewing needle. My father promptly ripped it out that night at the supper table. At that point in my life I didn't know you could remove an ear ring without removing the back. I still have the scar from that "valuable" lesson.

Fun times.

I worked on a dairy farm as a kid, and you’re right, they do. They would line up half an hour before we turned the compressor on.

If we're talking about a comfy wear, that's my fav.

you can even take a nap whenever you want, just lay down and go for it.

I grew up on a farm, because of the location we grew most of our vegetables and got our milk directly from the dairy farm next door. We always had a "pet" on the go getting ready for slaughter. Many lambs and calves I ate I had given names to and some were so full of personality and fun it was pretty upsetting when it came time to slaughter them, which my step father did and made sure I was included in the activity.
We still raise our own beasties for consumption, I have done it all my life. I dont waste one bit.
