I hope everyone's ready to get harvesting those spaghetti trees!
Well, ok, people have been on my ass to get me to blog more, even though these same people talk to me fairly frequently, and are often more up to date on the shennannigans and goings-on in my life than I am, mostly because my wife tells them everything, but that doesn't mean that they're going to STOP anytime soon, so Throkky, Michy, Grimmy, et al, this one's for you.
...
Let's see, what's in the news today...
Oh, yeah, I've been officially child-proofed. I'd go into detail about this, but it's much easier to just go watch the video!
Neat, huh?
So last night, it was announced at our monthly Earthsave Vegetarian Potluck that there would be no more Earthsave Vegetarian Potlucks. Wanna know why? I'll tell you. Earthsave, the organization, contacted the people in charge of the Kamloops Earthsave potluck, and told them that they had to be vegan, or they would be no longer be affiliated with the Earthsave organization. (Vegetarian = eggs and dairy allowed. Vegan = no fun.) Earthsave believes that by allowing vegetarian food, we are not really sincere in helping save the planet, and we can apparently just go fornicate ourselves with an egg noodle covered in cheese sauce. However, I, and almost everyone there, looks at it like this:
When the potluck WAS vegan, they had about... ten people show up. When it went to vegetarian, they've had from 40-60 people show up. So... they could either have ten people show up with vegan food, while everyone else stays home to eat meat, OR they could have ten people show up with vegan food, and a further thirty to fifty people show up with vegetarian food they likely wouldn't have been having anyways, thus promoting awareness and a sense of community with a larger group.
See, the big problem with policy makers in almost ANY field is that they have NO concept of how to pick battles.
The upshot of it is, the potlucks will go on as normal, but we will no longer be allowed to call ourselves Earthsave (which is fine, since they seem to be composed of dicks). We're thinking of calling ourselves Earthsafe, so we don't have to change the stationary too much.
Ok, that's all I got for today... I have to go design a two acre parkade now.
Also, please check out Blog Part The Second, Marble's Mass-anthropy.
It's worth it.
