SILLY: Vegetarian for a Week
I've decided to go vegetarian for the week. It was an easy decision that developed organically (forgive the pun, sort of): I ate a detox-vegetarian meal at the home of my friend Eliza on Monday, and met another friend at a delicious vegan restaurant on the Upper East Side last night, and figured, hey, why not keep going.
Now, let it be known, usually I will never turn down a good steak or a crisp piece of bacon. (If you're interested in the process of makin' bacon, check out my friend Andy's hilarious bacon blog, Horowitz Pork Products.)
But this week, I thought I'd see if I *felt* any differently after not eating meat. Let it also be known that I'm not giving up eggs, though I recognize this as an aberration from being vegetarian. Here are some funny vegetarian facts:
Did you know that there was an American Vegetarian Party, under whose umbrella these two fellows each ran for President on 5 different occasions between the years of 1948 and 1964? Bet you didn't.
Did you know that all rhinos are vegetarians? (1) yup.
And, approximately 8% of Californians are vegetarians. (2) ...guess they're not rhinos.
Famous vegetarians that you knew about:
Paul and Linda McCartney
Alicia Silverstone
Lisa Simpson
David Duchovny
Ghandi
And ones that you perhaps didn't:
Leonard Nimoy
Joaquin Phoenix
Albert Einstein
Charles Darwin
Look like I'm in good company. Wish me luck!

Welcome to our side.
Hmmm... Leonard Nimoy, David Duchovny and Gandhi... sounds like a great club! Ehh... Hm. But yeah, good luck saying no to Mrs. Cow - yummy, tasty, succulent Mrs. Cow... Mrs. Cow is the best. She's our friend. And don't forget about Mr. Rabbit or Mr. Lamb as well. Mmmm.
Oh, and by the way: I'm much much smarter now than last time you saw me (which, admittedly, doesn't say much), and if we ever do battle in trivia night again, you're doomed! [insert evil laughter]
Uhm... yeah. Well, time to sleep!
Cyndi. Being a vegetarian was hard, and I don't know if I can do it again. I ended my stint with a thai chicken wrap and a BLT (as pictured). Couldn't help myself.
Gabriel. Trivia night is ON. We will NOT come in second to last place again. no no!
