Or vegetarian league, or vegetable growers and
eaters league, or vegetarian art party leagues. No,
no wait, NAVEL, national artistic vegetable eaters
league.
This
is a gamified social network of vegetable growing
and eating
communities who share growing, cooking and
preparing strategies
and compete to see who can come up with the most
awesome
vegetarian dinner experiences on a number of
different fronts
including, taste, novelty, entertainment, charity,
conversational
productivity, etc. The NVL could be a bridge
organization to lead
our monetary system from the documentation of
competitive male
energy (like the National Football League and
capitalist excess)
towards a more nurturing female energy.
Let me add in that this should fuse with all of the
American Idol-
like shows that gamify art and performance. So the
end result
would be a league where vegetable-
eating/performances
somehow compete with each other on a number of
different
levels, so that no one is losing.

Don't really understand the idea.... more explanation needed perhaps? ie what has growing and eating vegetables got to do with vaginas? |
|
| |
You are right, I took it out. |
|
| |
might as well leave it in seein'as you have "nurturing female energy" in there as well. |
|
| |
Does eating vegetarian have anything to do with testosterone level ? |
|
| |
Some of world's best athletes are male vegetarians. |
|
| |
How do they find the male vegetables to eat? |
|
| |
This is an excellent idea. Anything that encourages
the creation of better side-dishes is a step in the
right direction. |
|
| |
[xenzag], a couple of the better-known athletes are Brocco Lee and Aspara Gus. |

Good job I live in forn parts! |
|
| |
Anyway, everyone knows it's the vegetables that give you cancer, it's a conspiracy. (pulls down the brim of foil-lined hat more tightly) |
|
| |
That's not as tinfoilhatesque an idea as you
suggest. Everyone assumes plants are these
passive things full of goodness and nature. But
plants have huge secondary metabolisms turning
terpenoids, isoprenoids, and many other types of
oid. |
|
| |
Most of these oids have evolved to deter
herbivorous insects and mammals. The oids
haven't in general evolved to give animals cancer
(too slow). However, most of them have evolved
to key right into various animal metabolic
pathways and mess with them. Which means that
a fair proportion of are likely to be incidentally
carcinogenic. Everyone eats plants; everyone
dies; a lot of people die of cancer. |
|
| |
Everything from alfalfa to zucchini has spent tens
of millions of years evolving its own little
chemical weapons cache. Your broccoli does not
go gentle into that good night. |
|
| |
Unless you're a
bee, the plants want you dead. |
|
| |
I would cover you with cream, whip you soundly and
call you a fool. |
|
| |
I would probably ask you for it. I'm quite partial to a
banana. |
|
| |
Are there any other fruits you want to suppose you
had? How often do you have these fruit-related
fantasies? |
|
| |
//from the documentation of competitive male energy (like the National Football League and capitalist excess) towards a more nurturing female energy.// |
|
| |
Hmmm. Not often these days I'm tempted to hand out a fish carcass, but I think this above nonsesense might just qualify. |
|
| |
This is part let's-all, part WIBNI (wouldn't it be nice if vegetarianism was more popular/solved various perceived social problems/we could get rid of football for vague, unstated feminist reasons) and also comes off as a bit of a poorly articulated rant. |
|
| |
I mean, you could have proposed this NVL institution without attacking football or masculinity or whatever you were trying to do. Why don't you do that? |
|
| |
I didn't mean to attack anything, I just meant that I can
imagine that it would be nice to have a gamified network
of art/healthy eating parties to try to monify nurturing
behavior, but, now that i think about it, this would never
get going until I am long gone, and other people would just
eff it up. This would work great with me at the center of it
to show people how to do it, but that's because I'm
awesome. Anything would work great with me at the
center of it. Give to other people and they are just going
to eff it up. Witness Christianity. |

Oops, cats out of the bag. |

Cheese and rice and the apple sauce. |
|
| |
I'm still waiting for the Capybara to be declared a vegetable by the Vatican. I can wait. |
|
| |
<<Capybara>> you may not have to wait (link) |
|
| |
<<Cheese>> Wine is for my love of creepers (grapes), and
bread (wheat)
is for my love of plebians. I would only consider cheese
from the milk of a hog nosed bat. |
|
| |
<<Applesauce>>, now that is a consideration. |
|
| |
//You couldn't even get the bread and wine thing right. Cheese ! You forgot cheese ! |
|
| |
You can forget the bread and the cheese, just bring the wine. |
|
| |
Another consideration is that Jesus was a mushroom (link). |
|
| |
Now that is not something I would have considered until
recently. Significantly though, "Christsicle" (+19) is still
doing
better than "Jelly Buddha" (+11). Although but maybe
appropriately "Miserable Buddha" is at (+27), and adding in
"White Chocolate Jesus with Liquid Cherry Center" (+16)
and
"Communion Wafer Dipping Sauces" (+23), it is a close call. |

Any relation to a vegetative state? |
