Way too much carnage for a couple vegetarians: veal, duck, pork!

You need to watch “Babe” again!


When Mrs. X first became a veg, I thought, OK, that’s cool. I’m hip. I have a wife who’s a vegetarian! But then over a period of about 12 years, she “enlightened/brainwashed” me. These days, my daughter Nellie would get very confused if she found out I was eating ducks!

Today I was showing Nellie my old fishing gear from when we lived on our boat. I showed her a small aluminum bat and a gaff. I explained how I would gaff the fish, haul them aboard, and then clobber them on the head with the bat!! She was looking at me, like “what the heck are you talking about”? Fortunately, I never worked in a veal processing plant. That would be a tougher explanation.
Gotta love these parents!

Real Good Oscar review

THOUGHTS BY SEAWITCH: "This year, I am paying attention to the foreign film nominations. There are five up for nomination.

Sophie Scholl - The Final Days This film tells of the interrogations that Sophie Scholl underwent by the Gestapo for her involvement in an anti-war group called the White Rose.

Tsoti This one is about a African youth who is trying to get away from the gangs and redeem his life.

Joyeux Noel This one is about Christmas Eve in 1914 and how the soldiers who have been facing each other with guns try to bring a few brief moments of peace.

Don't Tell This is the story of a young woman who starts remember how her father molested her when she was a young girl and tries to learn the truth about her family history.

These are all wonderful stories about how individuals try to bring some peace and justice into their lives. Which brings me to the 5th nomination:

Paradise Now Does the glorification of suicide bombers really belong with those other films of redemption? No, it doesn't. "
