RUBRDUX... or "Dave" as some may call you. I'm happy to see your application. You should hang around a bit more, act like you're in the clan. Keep your posts on-topic, useful, and don't outpost the other members (it makes them self-conscious). Your bio looks good and I think you'd be a good addition to the clan in regards to contests... we often do card making contests (the first ever contest back on MTGNews was "make Desolation Angel based on only knowing the artwork"). So stick around and eventually we may invite you on.
im sick..again
This time its a bladder infection..damn my body ...anyway im living on cranberry juice which i HATE and this med called cystex or something...maybe i should go look at the box, but anyway the med is awsome no pain or the endless need for the bathroom for a whole 4 hours at a time...
Lets seeeeeee oh yes nick is sick to his tummy again , not sure why.. anyway while he was beeing sick the girls got this great idea to light the stove and stick a plastic knife into it.. and a pencile..WTF??? and i thought my childproofing days were over.. i have no idea what they were thinking they no better then to play with the stove but i guess i will be having a long scary talk about fire with them tomrrow... anyway thats it for my day im off to go drink some more water and juice...ewwwwwwwww
Heh heh heh... cake is groovy.
Spent most of the night having drinks with some friends... going to bed now, I think.
Take care everyone... its a crazy world out there.
Oh Bel.... always hassling me! I may have dropped 12 pounds but I can still flat bench my own weight at least eight times... for three sets. Granted, I'm tired at the end of it, and have to do back or shoulders before I do anything else for chest, but that shows me I haven't lost a significant amount of muscle. But I'll keep an eye on it. If I suddenly get scrawny and weak, and still have a gigantic beer belly, I'll switch back to guzzling regular Coke and eating potatoes and rice all day long.
CONGRATULATIONS SEDS! You made Administrator!
Not much else to say but sorry to those who are puking/peeing/etc in cruel and unusual ways. Get well!
...
I seriously don't understand "fake meat" for vegetarians.
If they are so against the needless destruction of animals , why on earth do they go to such great lengths to try to make vegetables resemble burgers and sausages which are symbolic of canivorous eating ?
It's the relentless pursuit of the meat flavor. The taste of a hamburger is what I craved when I went veggan for 2 years. I missed the smell of steak and the flavor of chicken and meat in general. It helped me get through those cravings until I just couldn't hold off the urge for some real Buffalo Wings! That was what lead me back down the path of evil butchery!:embarrass:
I did feel better than ever when I was off meat....I have found that leaving dairy out of my diet makes me feel just as good....almost!:tongue3:

Uh, it's just traditional Chinese weirdness, as far as I know, so leave the rant at home, ok? It's just a name. Next you'll try + tell me Chikpatties are named thus because they resemble the taste + flavour of a chicken patty (obviously they are named thus for the simple reason that they are made of chick peas :embarass: )
"Pile of Smokey Gluten " didn't sell very well, although "Sweet + Sour Thing" is quite a hit at Thea downtown
Actually, since it's been brought up, the reason you get 'soy'sages + 'not'dogs is pretty straightforward – have you ever tried to barbeque tofu?
Hey Sedds....congrats on the Admin...I hope you wanted it.;)
I actually like the faux meats...depending on the brand...and I find that tofu isn't taht bad but it did take some itme to get used to. It is a very different consistancy.
I am trying so hard to trade for some new cards but people are very stingy!

This reminds me of people who are gay but they're only attracted to members of the same gender who dress up like, act like, and naturally look like members of the opposite gender. For example, guys who are only into guys who cross dress. The most sought after cross dressers can't even be distinguished from actual women. In fact... they might as well be. BUT... if they really ARE a woman, then that's no longer gay, so it's bad.
There's also probably a fake sausage joke stuffed in there someplace but I'm not sure exactly where.
R_E...I don't mean to sound confussed but I'm a little confused by your remarks! Have been hitting the carbs today? Your comments seem profound but I'm lost as to what you are refering to.
Maybe I'm the strange one here but could you elaborate as to why cross-dressing is on your mind?!?

For me, the point of fake meat isn't in it resembaling real meat in flavor at all. In fact, I find I enjoy it much much more if I remind myself that it isn't meat, and isn't supposed to taste like it. The reason I eat fake meat is two-fold. First, vegetarians need ways of intaking protein, something that can be hard to consistantly get from a diet of only fruits, vegetables, nuts, and beans. Fake meat is an excellent way to get your needed protein without having to overload on nuts and beans. Secondly, it's ease of cooking. I can still make tacos, hamburger helper or hearty pasta sauces using vegetable crumbles (fake ground beef.) If I want to cook something hamburger like, I can do so, not for the taste, but for the style of food that it is. I can eat meatless without having to to change what I eat at all, and that makes it a lot easier.

That makes sense, Mike. If I was going to avoid meat, that's what I'd do. Just eat a giant chunk of protein every day, and then go about my diet normally. Not try to get mushroom/tofu/soybean mash to taste and look like a T-bone. If you don't like meat, don't put meat flavouring on your potatoes!
Jonski, I'm saying that I don't understand people who dislike something but try to make what they DO like appear like it. Girls who are only attracted to girls who look like, act like, talk like, and dress like men. My nature doesn't work that way. If I were to decide I was into guys, I'd be into guys that resembled guys. Just stating my opinion on things
It's just something to discuss that's not... other stuff.
Alrighty, seems all the fighting is over now, so I decided to stop by and say hello.
I'm glad everything is going well with R_E and his weight loss.
My opinions of fake meat...It tastes odd to me. I had like hot dogs and bacon that were like meat substitute stuff...It was an ugly sight to say the very very least.
Congrats to seds for the Admin position. I don't really know him all too much, but when anyone makes a post like that, it's a cool thing.
I only had a morning exam this morning so I got outta school early and went and picked up some 9th edition, it's all they have at my shop until GP comes out. I can't wait, I am definately buying a box. There goes my Christmas money. Job I need to get a job to fuel my Magic addiction. Anyway, I'm off all tomorrow, Yay!, no exams. Gee, High School is loads of fun. I think I will write up ye ol' application tonight, I am about to eat dinner now though.
Hope everyone has a good day.
Later,
Chris

I agree with Binary Dragon, meat substitutes allow vegetarians to continue eating a lot of things they normally wouldn't as well as getting necessary vitamins. Hooray for health! Although I'm not a vegetarian, some of my friends are so I usually keep a lot of non-meat products around to make for dinner whenever they happen to be over.
One of my favorites is actually really simple. I use the vegetables that come in bags with frozen cheese, any kind of meat substitute, and two boxes of Mac and Cheese. With one box, I put the noodles in a pot of boiling water. The other box, I either throw the noodles out or save them for future ideas and just keep the sauce powder. When the noodles are half-cooked, I throw the vegetables in the microwave. By the time the noodles are done, so are the vegetables. I drain the pot, add the vegetables to the Mac and Cheese mix in the cheese powder and some butter and/or milk. The meat substitute is cooked separately and added to the dish before serving. It rocks!
Uhhhhhh, I don't know how many carbs are in it though... I usually don't pay attention to that kind of stuff.
Mmmmm, that sounds so good right now. I wish I had some.
I can't wait until they come out with a meat based vegetable substitute.
I have just the thing [attachment below]. Butter's close enough to a vegetable, right?

There are also vegetarians who don't eat meat because they think it's healthier for you and not because they believe it's wrong to eat animals. Some people also don't like the taste of meat. (Like my friend's mom.) Fake meat can help get protein, can be BBQed and doesn't taste like meat imo. My best friend is vegetarian and when we were in girl guides together she would always bring her own tofu dogs to cook on the fire not to be left out. (The first time I tried it I spit it back into the fire... she wasn't impressed...) Personally, I would be very sad without meat. I used to live on just about meat, my dad started calling me a carnivore, lol. My diet now is a little more balanced but I still need meat with at least dinner.
Go applicants. Well actually only DUX applied so far, right? Err, or did Lynnis too? Zigathon, just make an app. like DUX did, k?
okay, on fake meat. I was on a veggie kick once when I was younger. The store had a "veggie" bologna & cheese, it tasted pretty good. But I need my meat. Especially that medium rar Filet Mignon with sauteed mushrooms. *drool*
Eh, I haven't been posting much because, well, just because. Alex wanted nipples, and by golly, I'll give him nipples.
Just kidding. Women have nipples, right? So this is kind of about them? Women are quite confusing. I went from not being on anyone's radar, now all of a sudden, there's like 5 people who want me to a certain degree. One of them just wants sex, so that's out. One said I have to go to church with them before they decide if they want a relationship with me. That's kind of a bit fanatical, if you ask me. And there are three others whop appear normal, but...ugh. Why does it always seem like it's always either alot is going on, or nothing at all? Why can't there be a middle ground? Granted, I'm not complaining,it does my ego good to have people falling over themselves to get to me, even if they are a bit "out there".
Ok, I stole RUBRDUX templet for this here profile thingy, I hope he doesn't mind, it made things alot easier for me.
