Trip to the Grocery Store: Warnings
-- Tuesday, February 06, 2007
I went to the grocery store this morning to stock up on my daily breakfast supplies (plain oatmeal, unsalted teddy's peanut butter -- which I accompany with soy protein powder. Don't knock it. It's good) and some bars. I notice the discount rack has some gems. You know the rack. The one with the tin cans missing labels, dented boxes of cereal, stuff like that. Anyway, this rack held, Vitasoy Holly Nog.
For $1, I figured, "why the hell not?" I'm already a big fan of Silk Nog. How different could they be?
You guessed it. I opened the package and before I was out of the store parking lot, I was draining the container into a snow bank. Probably the worst drink product ever. I give it seventy five thumbs down.
Also while I was in the store, I came across the Vitasoy Peppermint Chocolate beverage.
After drinking the Holly Nog, I was already prepared for disappointment. I waited until I got to work this time. The first sip wasn't bad. The second sip was barely noticed. I realized, the first sip coated my mouth in an impenetrable layer of sugar. After a third sip, my $1.25 purchase went down the drain, literally. The only fan of this product must be the tooth fairy or the dentist.
All I'm left with is a horrible taste in my mouth. Lame. Vitasoy - 2; Bmurphy - 0. I think I was pranked. Take my advice, heed my warnings: don't fall for these products.

Ah, the Veg Break List
-- Thursday, January 18, 2007
Back when I was running the Edgebreak list, some kid contacted me about doing a Vegan Break list. This was probably in 2004. To me, his concept was the lamest idea around. No only was it lame, but I found it to be a little stupid. I don't recall Minor Threat writing lyrics about the "rules" of veganism. In fact, I could have sworn the concept of vegansim is hundreds of years old. Who is this kid to say who is and isn't vegan. Or even list them.
Now in hindsight, the edgebreak list was on that juvenile tip too. Regardless, I ended up telling the kid I thought his idea was not good. He then got real mad at me and said he was going to add me to the Vegan break list. At the time, there were 7-8 names on this list. Mine was never added. Believe me, I looked for it.
Fast forward to yesterday. Some dude his sending me these random instant messages. He's going on and on about how "masturbation = sxe." It literally made no sense to me, but I let him go with it. He then starts asking me about the Veg break list. It all flooded back and I went out and found it.
Turns out, it still exist. You can read all the glorious details here, on The Veg Break List. Notice, it's now the Veg break list. Apparently not enough people were listing Vegans so he decided to expand his membership. As of today, there are 20 names on that list. One of them is the Dalai Llama. 2 years, 14 names later, mission accomplished.
Ps. One parting shot. Please notice his online form is an exact copy/paste of my old Edgebreak list form.
Pps.
Vegetarian or Vegan, just do it. I've been eating vegan since 1997. Think about that.
