[DarkTirade]

1. Aw man, no beers with honey in them?

No way am I gonna set foot in a place like that. :P

[BarenakedLady]

2. and I can hear flvegan buying a ticket to Portland from here.

:D

[Jamastiene]

3. Has anyone told flvegan yet?

I CANNOT WAIT to see his reaction when he hears this! :evilgrin:

[LeftyMom]

4. Is this the place in PDX?

The guy who runs it is a douche with a very bad reputation for mistreatment of employees.

[begin_within]

8. Yes

[begin_within]

5. This is hilarious... I debated even posting this thread because it might be seen directed at flvegan

and so far that's all anyone is talking about

[flvegan]

6. DUUUUUUUUUDE!!!

Score one for flvegan! I'm outta here!

[LeftyMom]

7. See post 4, sparky.

[flvegan]

10. Didn't you get the memo?

Yeah, it was posted in GD some time ago. Vegans don't care about people, just animals.

Woo hoo!

[LeftyMom]

11. Well that doesn't apply to me, I don't even know what a vegan is.

Source: GD. Naturally.

[XemaSab]

15. So if you're vegan, you can eat chicken, right?

Since chickens aren't animals? :shrug:

[LeftyMom]

19. Fur and leather are okay too.

Apparently I was really, really wrong about this whole thing. Me and everybody else I know, apparently.

[flvegan]

20. I'm enjoying a nice salmon steak. Thanks for the recommend on it!

[LeftyMom]

21. Next time try the dolphin.

[XemaSab]

25. Fur seals are fish, right?

So you can eat fur seals if you're vegan?

They're sustainably harvested. :9

[LeftyMom]

27. I'm pretty sure they're protected in California.

Maybe I can order one in Oregon. ;)

[XemaSab]

28. One fur seal can provide the protein for a vegan family for a whole month.

:9

[jobycom]

29. Vegan just means you can't eat animals.

So there's no problem wearing their skin, using their fat for makeup, or behaving like one at a strip club. You know.

[LeftyMom]

30. Nevermind that crazy Vegan Society, it says right here in the dictionary...

[jobycom]

32. Yeah, you're just a lot meaner and fascister than real vegans,

yano?

[LeftyMom]

33. Dude, I spent good money on these pleather jackboots, and I'm going to get my money's worth.

[Bryn]

38. Take me with you!

:woohoo:

[Lost in CT]

13. I think 2001 is vegan.... at least upstairs in the UFO.

[flvegan]

14. I like the Mons Venus across the street better.

[Lost in CT]

16. Yeah i think I'm still banned from Mons....

Rednerrrrrr

[flvegan]

17. I like Joe.

I got to sit next to him 10 years ago or so at one of those MonsterJam events at Tampa Stadium. He cracked me up for like 3 hours straight. His arm candy was pretty nice too.

[Lost in CT]

22. I'm putting you on a bit here... I have know Joe socially for years. (good lord going on 20)

People like him are what makes America... America.

Now the late great Tanga Lounge.... that was America at its finest.

46. This is highlarious-- I am flying to Portland in a couple of weeks

I am bringing back photo-documentation for you!!! :rofl:

Who's your buddy? Who's your pal. I am.

[petronius]

9. "The only meat we have is up on the stage" - wtf?

Sounds like kind of a douchebag, actually...

(Cute girls, though! ;))

[quakerboy]

12. I have heard that

its relatively so so in all regards.

The only draw it had for me was the smoke free part. And there are lots of smoke free places I can get a steak, and don't have to be distracted by boobies. So... there went that.

[LeftyMom]

18. It's in the same place where Pirate's Tavern was, no?

Went there once, but it was in a really screwy out of the way location. Food was kinda overpriced but they had good beer cheap.

[quakerboy]

23. Not sure

Ive never heard of the pirates tavern. This place is way out in industrial NW.

[LeftyMom]

26. Yeah, I think that's the same place.

The same guy had a vegan restaurant there before. The food was pretty good, but there's enough vegan food in Portland that I'm not sure how he figured people would drag themselves out to the back of beyond (and up that ridiculous hill in the parking lot) on a regular basis.

Especially since a good share of the customer base doesn't drive.

[quakerboy]

31. I dunno

That makes sense, though I thought industrial NW was pretty flat out that way? I would also have assumed decent access to transit in that area.

[Lucian]

24. I felt wrong watching that video...

I didn't have a fistful of dollars.

Great idea, btw. :thumbsup:

[davidinalameda]

34. that takes niche marketing just a little too far

:wtf:

[LeftyMom]

35. You have to understand: Portland's like vegan Mecca.

They have:
more vegan restaurants than you can shake a celery stick at
vegan tattoo shop
vegan clothing store
vegan bakeries
vegan grocery store
vegan bars (getting dinner and drinks while watching Whale Wars on the bar TV was weird and fun)
vegan taco cart...

because there are a metric fuckload of vegans there.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

37. Vegan tattoo shop?

I understand the need for all the other vegan stuff -- but what makes a tattoo shop vegan? Do "normal" tattoo parlors use animal products in some fashion?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

39. Most tattoo inks are not vegan

[Tyrone Slothrop]

40. Oh -- I had no idea

I'm not a tattoo person so I don't know much about it. I always assumed the inks were made with dye from plants; guess I was wrong!

Do vegan tattoo inks last as long? Is the coloration the same over time?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

41. I think they last just as long, they're just a bit pricier

I got tattooed with the non-vegan ink. How well a tattoo holds up has more to do with the artist than anything else.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

44. I thought that a different chemical make-up might react to sun/light exposure differently

Hence, a shorter or longer lasting tattoo.

[LeftyMom]

55. That's right. Because of the glycerin, among other things. There's also the issue of aftercare stuff

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

57. I use tamanu oil for my aftercare

It's expensive, but works well (and has about a billion uses). The Dr. Bronner's tattoo hemp stuff is almost as good. Both are vegan.

[LeftyMom]

58. I get a rash from hemp oil, which cuts down on my vegan tattoo balm options.

Merry Hempsters makes a vegan tattoo balm stick, but again, hemp oil.

I just slathered shitloads of cheap moisturizer from Trader Joes on until the thing quit itching. I think next time I'll try coconut oil, because it makes my skin happy and it smells good.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

59. Try the Tamanu Oil by New Chapter

It costs like $20 for a tiny bottle, but it seriously lasts FOREVER. It comes from some nut grown on an island in the pacific somewhere.

You can use it for everything. Burns, cuts, poison ivy. It makes stuff heal faster, and all you need is a tiny dab.

[LeftyMom]

60. I'll have to look for that.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

61. Whole Foods carries New Chapter stuff

Hint: Every three months, the company puts all of their products at 30% off, so ask when it's going on sale next.

[LeftyMom]

62. I'll do that.

[jmowreader]

50. A vegan tattoo shop?

How do you fit animal products into a tattoo?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

51. into the ink

[jmowreader]

52. Please expound...

I know a lot of guys dissolve their inks in vodka...what would it be, using gelatin to purify the vodka at the distillery?

[Solon]

54. I would imagine it would be the dyes being used for the colors...

Some are metals, others would be animal byproducts, and others still from plants.

[LeftyMom]

56. Generally the issue is the glycerin base in the ink.

With vegan ink it's plant based, with other inks it could be animal or plant based, probably whichever's cheaper at the time.

[jmowreader]

63. That makes sense, thanks

I found another one for you: the "Tincture of Green Soap" a lot of artists use to prep the skin also has glycerin in it--and, like you said, it could be either animal or plant based depending on which one's cheaper at the time.

[davidinalameda]

53. they just need a nice steak

hehe

[GreenTea]

36. Seems vegans love their "meat" too.

:shrug:

[MilesColtrane]

42. Hope you like hair in your chutney.

Dude's not wearing a hair net in the kitchen.

[undeterred]

43. I thought vegans were skinny.

:shrug:

[Jimbo S]

47. I have a co-worker who's vegan.

She's at least 250 pounds.

[jmowreader]

64. You haven't seen flvegan...

He's a vegan bodybuilder.

[RedCloud]

45. Stilettos. Oh my aching back!

Why does my back always flare up just because some stilettos approach?

[lost-in-nj]

48. we put the meat on the pole

and not on the plate



:rofl: :rofl:



lost

oh yeah




:popcorn:

[Taverner]

49. Only in Oregon
