Where the Flu Comes From and How to Prevent It.

How to prevent the flu: STOP EATING MEAT.  According to an ABC news report, flu "...originates, actually, among birds and other animals such as pigs...".  When we farm these animals for meat, the virus makes the jump to humans.  Just think what it would be like to not get the flu all year long, for millions of people not to die (many flus kill people in their 20's).

Also, not eating meat would get rid of most diabetes, heart disease, cancers, it would help the environment - not eating beef is better than not driving your car - 

And for those of us who think we need meat because cavemen ate it, well, the oldest Neanderthals excavated so far died in their early 40's; more often, they were in their 20's.  That should tell you something right there.

Here's an article from the BBC relating intelligence to vegetarianism http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/6180753.stm.  The higher the IQ, the higher the chance a person will stop eating meat.
Make the smart choice - say NO to the flu plague and no to all that stupid stuff your parents (brainwashed) taught you to eat.

Working for Fun

I just want to know; if you say you don't need to work, it puts you in the "wrong" tax bracket, you're just doing it for fun or for your mental health, why the HELL don't you get out and volunteer to help someone or something?  There are so many humans and animals that need help out there, you don't need to be taking a job away from someone else, especially in a bad economy. 

I kid you not, I know 3 old farts who are doing this; I guess they can't stand to stay home, but for Chrissakes, go help a kid with her homework or walk dogs at the shelter!

Sheesh!

I don't want to see your a*s. Really. Seriously.

What is up with these white boys with their bvd's hanging *all* the way out, their pants hanging low; I went into Kohl's the other day, and saw this round bvd covered butt glaring at me...I don't know, maybe these dudes need to wear high heels with that.  Maybe they should draw a smiley face on it with one of those black magic markers...

Okay, there is one time I do want to see your bvd-covered a*s - that's on COPS when they are chasing you, your pants fall down around your ankles and trip you up.  Stupid a*sholes.

"The Feel Good Movie of the Year." NOT.

I recently watched Julie and Julia, and there were a few ways that it did not make me feel good, quite the opposite in fact.  First, I love(d) Julia Child, and yes, once I had the inspiration to recreate all of her recipes.  Cooking the Big J's recipes is probably an excellent way to improve one's cooking skills.  J & J, however, informed me of my own lack of originality; I guess that every other foolish woman has that dream, but not the madness, to attempt such a feat.

Even worse, though, was the actual physical nausea that the movie inspired.  You may well ask why.  I reply, the lack of table manners!  Entire speeches were delivered with mouths full of food.  The lip smackin' could have put Homer Simpson to shame.  Probably the worse scene occured when Julie made crostini for her husband; the poor man was like a hog at the trough. I wanted to throw him a bucket of leftover table scraps.

Did the producers think that the slurping smacking similar-to-bathroom noises added verisimilitude?

This phenomenon caused an otherwise harmless cutesy (def.: lack of substance) movie to be one that should not be watched while eating a meal; and perhaps that isn't polite anyway.  If you are going to watch it, I recommend a hit of Dramamine and/or a barf bag. 

For those ill-mannered movie actors who lack such basic social graces as eating with closed mouths, I submit a link to Emily Post's table manners for 4 - 7 year olds.  http://www.emilypost.com/table-manners/72-table-manners-for-the-four-to-seven-year-old.
