Vegetarian Golfers

Some many things have happened in and around my world that require a mention here. We'll start with this relatively alien concept of vegetarianism. As would have been obvious by now I don't really believe in it. What I do believe in is the freedom to break free the shackles of genetic predisposition and familial condtioning and the maturity to choose to eat beef biryani anytime, anywhere. But this isn't about me is it?
Came to hear of the various reasons why people "turned" veg.
1 - Couldn't bear the thought of a chicken being prepared for a meal. Then again couldn't bear the thought of wading in some paddy field either but that didn't stop rice consumption.
2 - Forest conservation project greenpeacenik realised that some forest she was trying to conserve was being slowly deforested for grazing land for sheep which became mutton in Bangalore. Hence no more meat.
3 - Marxism. Before some quizzical expressions are raised, here's the rub - The amount of resources that goes into feeding a sheep/goat for one sinful dinner of extravagance can be used to feed ten people. And thus...
And here I am asking people to rise in the food chain, stop depriving animals of their food, eat more protein.
This person I know bought two rabbits a few months ago. Because it's apparently hard to determine the sexuality and sexual orientation of rabbits, he ended up getting a pair of opposite sexuality and compatible orientation. He now has twenty. And is vegetarian despite being Bong, like no fish (Mr. D are you listening?).
And in Sports, today's story is the current golfing incident-accident. Turns out that somebody whacked a long shot with a 3 wood and yelled the perquisite "Fore". The ball guided by forced both dark and mysterious managed to get above the 40ft fence and brain the HD's security man. Before a collective akkan, just miss pervades the world, there's more. Another golfer more intrepid managed to set of a bomb scare when his wannabe birdie landed on some asbestos roof in the aforementioned HD's residence. So the servers and protectors hurried across to the golf course and held the golfer under custody. For what I can't imagine. I haven't heard of anybody outside of maybe Tiger Woods who can aim a golf ball into somebody or something. And if it's gone out of bounds then that would've been a really bad shot. The cops think otherwise and now want the place shut down and turned into a park. Haven't they gotten enough land to play aroud with or has the BMIC project gotten back online?
To wrap up we have the tech-entertainment section which essentially revolves around my pod. My iPod you perverse creatures, it's not the time for me to spore yet. The pod's been fitted with a screen protector and displays album graphics with each song, if properly ripped and tagged.
How cool is that?
