The official, amazing, aimless chitchat thread.
So this is where we go to make small talk that doesn't really fit into other threads.
It's the thread with no attention span!
Frequent, arbitrary changes of topic are encouraged. In fact, they are mandatory.
So, I was just thinking, wouldn't it be awesome to have the decor in each room of your house be inspired by a food? Like, I was cutting up eggplant today, making my accidental eggplant chips, and I though, wow, this eggplant looks so pretty against this green plate! I would love to have a room inspired entirely by eggplant colors. And then I thought there could be ones inspired by mangoes and apples and sweet potatoes and pretty much any other pretty food.
Hey, a friend of mine made these really awesome mosaics of all her food pictures based on color. THIS is what I mean:

So, what was I saying?
but if you don't eat chicken or fish where do you get your protein?
*runs away quickly*
if I had a dollar for every time someone said that to me, I would e rich!
Dreena Burton just sent me an email message. Tee hee! :D

I thought that put me at at least at a level 8, maybe 9.

Fine, fine. Eight and a half.
Yes!
can we develop criteria for different levels of veganism?
or did someone do that already.
i think one level involves pocket mulching...
Wasn't there a Simpsons episode about it? That's what I've heard.
We should make criteria. That would be fun!
I'd post them in my blog too.
Lisa: My name's Lisa Simpson. I think your protest was incredibly brave.
Jesse: Thank you. This planet needs every friend it can get.
Lisa: Oh, the earth is the best! That's why I'm a vegetarian.
Jesse: Heh. Well, that's a start.
Lisa: Uh, well, I was thinking of going vegan.
Jesse: I'm a level 5 vegan -- I won't eat anything that casts a shadow.
Lisa: Wow. Um ... I started an organic compost pile at home.
Jesse: Only at home? You mean you don't pocket-mulch?
Lisa: Oh, it's so decomposed! Do you think I could join Dirt First?
Jesse: Well ... we *might* have an opening at the poser level.
Lisa: Oh, thank you, thank you!
OK, so we know that poser level is the lowest, and level 5 means you don't eat anything that casts a shadow and you pocket mulch. Level 8.5 means getting a personal email from Dreena Burton.
And one of the levels can be making all of the recipes from a vegan cookbook, like secondbase with Vcon.
I don't pocket mulch...so does that mean I'm closer to the poser level? I've made lots of recipes..I'm a good person..I try to be the best vegan I can be...I want to level up.

Don't worry - I don't pocket mulch either, but I'm an 8.5 ^-^ You're pretty skilled with the camera (mmm food porn...) so I'm wondering where that puts you. Maybe a 6?

Oh wait, I have 7 vegan shirts and 12 vegan buttons....I think that puts me at a 6.5. :D
haha I'm feeling like this could become too hierarchical..........I'm picturing bad things happening.. :o
Nah, it's just for fun! I do like the point system, since then there is no having to advance step by step. Ooooh, I want to make vegan merit badges!
exmods get 10 points, at least.
and each food porn pic gets you 1 point?
;D
FINE! But I warned you...
Ok, so what about converts BECAUSE OF food pics??? And I have a vegan husband.
I think I'll be stuck at the poser level forever! :'(
Hmm. So if we're rating vegan awesomeness, what's our rating scale? Is it from 1 to 10? 1 to 15?
Whoah, wait a minute. You guys are forming a coherent topic. You have gone from aimless to aimful. Leave with your aimfulness please.
On the other hand, oreos are on sale at Raley's.
