from the grave

bea arthur dontaed money in her will to PETA, and they are using the opportunity to try to take down mcdonalds cruel animal practices. kind of creepy PETA.

kellan lutz loves puppies

to drink their blood! kismet supports rescue dogs too.

your obligatory (but ExCiTiNg!!!) thanksgiving post.

omg thanksgiving is tomorrow!!! and while i sit here autoCAD-ing with crossed fingers, hoping that this office will close up shop early and let me outta here, i wanted to build a bit of buzz for this often overlooked holiday. jk, obvi. people love thanksgiving! and why wouldn't they? here's a few turkey-day-related items from the internet and beyond:

emily shared this recipe for cranberry butter rolls, which she claims were a big hit last year. they look pretty delicious.

here's some liberal hippie shit from PETA trying to convince people not to eat turkey on thanksgiving. gmafb, am i right? g.animalz sent me that, and i think that she secretly believes in it.

some people get really excited about the macy's thanksgiving day parade. there's no arguing that its one of new york's longest running and most nostalgic traditions. but who has time to go uptown and stand in the middle of child-ridden crowds when you've got a freshly-humiliated turkey (see above) to prepare!

as an alternative, go up to central park west tonight, and watch them blow up the parade balloons. i hear it's just great. how many years do you think it will be before we get a twilight balloon? i hope not many.

and speaking of nostalgia, don't miss a charlie brown thanksgiving, airing on abc at 8/7c tomorrow.

2Pz wishes you all a fulfilling and filling holiday. be sure to send us some photos of your turkey day highlights, including meals, grandparents, pets, tryptophan comas, etc.

"The egg industry's currently engaging in a war on "useless" male chicks, who (duh) produce no eggs. And, like all wars, this one has casualties: cute, innocent, fuzzy, absolutely precious casualties." (via)

thx g.

give it a rest, PETA.

WASHINGTON - The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he's bedeviled by a fly in the White House.

PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.

"We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals," PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals." (msnbc)

me and john having opinions on gchat

john: peta actually makes me angry

i don't know why

me: i know

theyre ridic

john: they're just so narrow minded

there are PEOPLE dying all over the world right now. PEOPLE!

me: they have really unfocused energy
john: yes. unfocused

sporadic and misguided

me: im all for helping animals and letting people die....but its not going to happen by changing fish to sea kittens

john: i love animals too. i've tried vegetarianism, and i nearly starved to death. i eat less meat. but i'm not going to dedicate my life to something like that when i look homeless people in the eye on my own street and keep walking.

just seems like disproportionate concern to me

me: ctm

PETA be crazy

stoopid PETA is at it again. this time, they've asked the pet shop boys to rename themselves. to the rescue shelter boys. dumb! (cnn)
