Why is it indefensible, and why should they not know what lobster is?
ETA: I, too, applaud the vasectomy decision. :rolleyes:
I am eagerly awaiting his rant about newspaper ads breaking up the flow of reading the article.
“The second column stopped three lines before the first one did! I was halfway down the page before I realized I was reading a Macy’s ad! The shits are trying to trick me into buying a crop top and capris! Bastards!”
Agreed… and I think the “kids hate vegetables” myth is unfair, because the truth is that kids have the good sense to recognize, instinctively, that most canned vegetables (especially the cheap, tasteless, boiled, unseasoned variety that are mass-fed to them in school lunches) are fucking disgusting. I was well into my teens before I began to discover that beans, brussels sprouts, lima beans, broccoli, carrots, etc., could actually be palatable when fresh and prepared properly.
It wasn’t in 2nd grade but back in high school we had a year (1989 I think) where the cafeteria catering folks just plain sucked. The food tasted lousy and it was considerably more expensive than the year before. After a month of so, someone organized a boycott of the school lunches and we all either brought our own lunch or else foraged out of the vending machines. Surprisingly (at least to me), we lasted for over a week with almost no one purchasing the school lunches before the school district and catering firm made a joint decision to cancel their contract. The next firm they brought in rocked about as hard as you could reasonably expect a high school lunch to rock and we were all happy and fed once more.
So I say “Stick it to the Man, little second graders!”
Yeah, I know high school purchased lunches are a different dynamic than elementry school. Still reminded me of it…
How can a kid NOT know what lobster or steak are? I mean, I don’t know how old I was when I first had lobster, for example, but people eat those kinds of food in cartoons, movies, books. How do you know that some kid didn’t see it on TV and think, “Oh, that would be fun to have at school” not realizing that a school cafeteria can’t churn out filet mignon on a regular basis.
I’ll second the kids not liking veggies is a stereotype. Before I was living in America, my parents used to say that I loved fruits/veggies, but here things tend to get harvested before they ripen in order to mass produce them/get them shipped to grocery stores all over the country, and they lose their taste.
I have it. This is the man himself.
I have the answer! VCO3 is actually Ed Anger. He’s looking for new places to spout off since the Weekly World News is shuttting down.
VCO3, I was under the impression you were in your mid-20’s. That’s pretty young to get snipped. I honestly would like to know you want one.
I am getting a vibe that, in your mind, any two words are uncomfortably close 
We never even got hamburger on our burgers.
Mind you we used to eat lobster most days, sometimes steak 
Faux Gras… probably best served with a delicate, white grape Juicy Juice.
Just out of morbid curiousity, VCO3, what is the meaning of your username? I was thinking Very Complete Overreaction but can’t figure out what the 3 was for.
This seems a logical response from the OP to me, as this thread is clearly not defendable.
Well, God Bless America! That kids should ever have regular access to a cornucopia is down-right Un-American.
Well, they were at school. BTW, what grade would you suggest it be added to the curriculum?
“Children, before we have today’s Physics test, I’d like to show you a picture. Do you see that creature at the bottom? It’s a Lobster. Carry on.”
You know, if you broiled up those left-over bits with plenty of garlic, butter and salt, you could have your own little cornucopia. Bon Appetite!
(Just promise you won’t let the children have any, OK?)
So having parents that are wealthy enough to give you steak on a basis that could range from once ever to pretty regularly is a crime that you feel deserves the punishment of getting AIDS? Yikes. Good luck with all that.
:dubious: Why not? It’s not like supermarkets and restaurants don’t have fishtanks with live lobster in them.
Mind you, I still don’t know why anyone would want to eat one, but it helped to pay my tuition so I’m not about to complain about it
Maybe… 3 times a week?
I loved watching the lobsters in the tanks when I was little. I loved eating them even more!
And no, my parents weren’t rich, yet somehow I knew what lobsters were, and I knew I liked to eat them.
Sorry, I’ll be out getting AIDS if anyone is looking for me.
Two things:
-
The OP is utterly insane.
-
Autolycus: where did you get the chance to eat whale meat?
Speaking of tanks with live lobsters in them…
I was in Michigan on holiday and took my friend into Red Lobster.
She chose the lobster, I looked at them and I swear this big bugger looked back as if to say “Please, not me, I’ve got kids”
I couldn’t choose, she did…the heartless bastard 
I certainly knew what a lobster was by the time I was in second-grade. They were in just about every grocery store I went to, in a tank back by the meat department. I also knew what steak was and had it occasionally and yet my family was ridiculously far from wealthy when I was a child. Even the kids I knew who grew up on welfare knew what lobster and steak were, for God’s sake. What kind of bizzaro world does VCO3 come from? Do only the fabulously wealthy know what meat and seafood are in his world?
