Also, Ren? I concur on the wooooshit. Did you end up doing okay on the exam?

Have to agree with you on the “ham vs. heroin” conversation, Joel - that was HILARIOUS. Seriously. Jonas, you have my sympathy. Maybe the best way to deal with people like this is to start banging on about how much you love meat? Then again, I’ve been on the flipside of that as well - sometimes all it used to take was for people to find out I was a vegetarian (I didn’t talk about it unless I needed to let someone know about my dietary requirements, and I wasn’t preachy) for them to harass me about my choices and, if the opportunity was present, to get in my face while eating pieces of meat and go “mmmmm!”. Bastards. There’s just as many arsehole meat eaters as there are vegans. It’s just that the vegans tend to be slightly more hysterical, and sometimes they get caught saying sillier things.
Dawei, I hate to break it to you but…I don’t think your sister is a vegetarian. Is this the drunken outing one? Also, the vomit scene is pretty brief, you shouldn’t let it put you off the movie (I just typed “food” then. Hello unconscious mind!).

Haven’t seen the film but I know what you’re saying about those crazy vegans. I had a nice, unassuming couple around for drinks last week and talked turned to how they were vegans.

Sure, its an interesting topic for a minute or two. But I don’t need a fucking lecture on the evils of eating veal or bacon. Christ, chill out.

My favourite ‘vegan girlfriend’ moment was the comparison between ham and heroin. Thank heavens for Morgan’s despatching of that statement! ‘I could be strung out on ham for weeks!’ Ah. Pure gold.

Damn - at least you studied for the right exam. I turned up to my first exam only to find out that it was the Psych exam and not Communications.

Whoooshit.

I don’t want to see this film (even though I know I should) because I don’t want to see him ralph. I can handle blood, guts, violent killings, and every other bodily fluid/function, but if I hear someone is about to bortch I’m outta there.

My sister is a vego, and she is the WORST vegetarian on the planet. She doesn’t eat vegetables! She only eats tuna (!!!) and bread!

YES. I hated that vegan girlfriend. She was horrible. I know at least one non-preachy vegan who is pleasant to be around, but she made me want to SHOUT THINGS AT THE SCREEN. It was the personality more than the veganness itself, but yes, it’s so often that the one goes along with the other.
