Deep Thoughts...?

[thescarletwoman]

A thought for your day, sent to me by a very good friend of mine:

Today for lunch I had a hamburger and a glass of milk. While I was eating I thought to myself "What if the milk I'm drinking came from the cow I'm eating?"

*snorts* LMFAO.

Isn't that brilliant? I love Jim. XD

Your friend should not be thinking such things while eating. It's not healthy.

Hahahaha. I like how you stopped by the SBRL list on Y!Groups to announce the fest ... the DAY AFTER I did it. :P Don't believe me, huh? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sirius_Black_and_Remus_Lupin/message/21941 *nyah*

*DIES* OMG. I feel like a total idiot now. (this is what I get for not getting group email and just looking at the front page *HEADDESK*)

Especially when your message rocked a lot more than mine did.

MWAHAHAHAHAHA! I AM THE QUEEN OF MINIFICS! :P At least your's wasn't quite so ... cryptic. People can look at the subject title and go "Oh!" whereas, with my little thing, it's "WTF?".

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

*g* yes you are. Whereas with me... I can't write anything short to save my life. I'm like... the queen of 5000 word PWPs. ><

True... but now they're also going, "wtf... ANOTHER notice?"

I'm a woman of few words. Trying to get anything other than essays over the 2000 mark is like to trying to carve a perfect sphere out of granite (ie. very hard).

We can put it down to your desperation. Yes, that works for me! >_>

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

*snickers* and trying to get me under 2000 words is virtually impossible. Take the fic I finished yesterday. It started out at 1900 words and by the time I finished my first revision it was at 2600. I'm just glad my beta loves me. XD

Hahaha. Yes. Desperation. That's it. *snickers*

Now see, my essays for schools can run on for ages if I let them, and if I have enough evidence, and all that other schooly stuff. But fic ... I'm quite proud of the chapters I'm writing for this fic right now, because they're averaging about 1900-2100 words each. ^_^

And no, Jim (the guy who sent that to me) probably shouldn't be thinking about such things.

He sends me the greatest emails once a week... but that one I just HAD to share.

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

ROFL.

You might not want to tell Jim this, but when I read your post, I thought you were talking about a girl. ^_^;

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA. *is REALLY amused*

Eh, that's alright. He won't mind. XD

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

It's just, it's such a girly thing to think ... What guy actually contemplates what he's stuffing in his mouth?

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

*snickers* well, the thing with Jim is he comes up with these things randomly. So he most likely WASN'T thinking of it while eating... he just... comes up with thoughts.

And fake news articles that he LOVES sending me. God. Some have been absolutely priceless. XDD

OMG! This might have happened to me! I grew up on a farm, and from time to time, we DID slaughter a milk cow. It's a miracle I'm not a vegetarian!

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

*DIES* wow... My friend's random thought that he sent out to amuse... may have happened.

And yes, it is a miracle you're not a vegetarian.

[brightest-blue.livejournal.com]

Yeah, growing up on the farm, dealing with really gross stuff is kind of the norm. I should have become some sort of surgeon due to lack of squeamishness.

[mbmargarita.livejournal.com]

Wanna know something gross? OK I'll tell you anyway

At my college this weekend Morgan Spurlock (the director of Supersize Me) gave a talk, and he told us that a McDonald's hamburger can have parts of as much as 1,000 cows in it. ONE THOUSAND. I'm sure the number is better for your average non-McDonald's hamburger, perhaps you know maybe just one cow, imagine that, but eeeeeeh it gave me the heebie-jeebies. So there's something to think about next time you're having that hamburger and milk.

Hehehehhe...

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

*blink*

I suddenly lost all desire to eat at McDonald's...

I also remember a "fake" news article this same friend sent me once. (as he loves making up and sending me these things.)

"McDonalds is set to open a chain of restaraunts in India. When asked if this would bother the population there as the cow is sacred to the people, the corporation responded, 'no... they're not made with beef anyway.'"

[meleth.livejournal.com]

Unlikely. Most cattle killed for their meat are steers, ie castrated males. The females are kept alive to produce milk and baby cattle for as long as possible. So the gender of your food and your drink are unlikely to match.

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes...

But think of it for the AMUSEMENT value. XD
