Went to see the Tragically Hip a few months ago. They were amazing as always. There is no better front man than Gordon Downie. The show was so good, in fact, I may have broken my foot dancing. I was in much pain but still walked a mile to work. Ah, one step closer to getting that peg leg in my pirate dreams.
Took the train home at 12:30 AM and something magical happened. I got into a debate about Meat and Vegetarianism with a hippie and his hippie friends. We were at least 10 seats apart, so the argument was quite public. It started when a hippie girl told Head hippie that she had gone "veg." He shrieked in brussel spouted joy and then declared that everyone on the train should give up meat. I immediately, said, "No. No, that's not gonna happen." "Why?" he asked me. "Why do you need to eat meat?" "Because it's delicious," I said." Also, I am a man."
The whole train erupted in laughter and the debate was on. Some highlights:
Hippie: The chemicals in meat will give you cancer and you'll die! You should eat Boca burgers! They taste just like meat!
Me: If I ate a Boca burger I would die of a broken heart. What's the difference?
Hippie: If you started eating vegetables, you'd grow to love them!
Me: Listen, I'm not opposed to creatures who eat vegetables. Herbivores are by far the most delicious beasts on earth! In fact, you are probably quite delicious.
Hippie: I am delicious!
Me: Somebody get me some sweet n sour sauce. I need some Hippie McNuggets, stat!
Hippie: Raising animals for food is wrong! Are you moral? You can't do it, man!
Me: You're right, I was thinking you could raise a pelican for me. When that scrumptious bird comes of age I'll just smack you in the face with a steak and take him. It won't be your fault.
Hippie: ....
Me: Also, I want to eat a Koala. Eucalyptus flavored!
I said some other crap but I can't remember it all. The people on the train were bowling over with laughter. When I was getting off the train, a girl came up to me and said, "That was the best conversation I've ever heard on a train!"
"Well, he just challenged my way of life, ma' am."
Note: No animals were harmed during this encounter.
