We look just like other pilots, only thinner.

What does a pilot look like though? I don't wear white shirts with stripes and a black tie.

Neither did Tom Cruise.

Neither did Tom Cruise.

So you're saying pilots are short???

Guess I'm not a pilot after all . . . .

I love vegetables. They are what food eats.

I agree. I am a second-hand vegetarian. I eat things that eat vegetables.

Nothing like a big fat juicy steak to get your vegetable intake for the day.

And I have an open challenge to the Beyond Burger people:

Fake a steak.

Done.



They taste like rubber. Don’t ask me how I know.

 

[Sac Arrow]

Done.

Those look suspiciously like veggie burger patties branded as steak.

Looks like it, but the texture is significantly different than any veggie burger I’ve ever had. I do not recommend.

I may be the thinnest pilot you'll ever meet. And veggies are side dishes!

If faux burgers are not a thing here on PoA, how does everyone feel about imitation bacon bits?

I'm actually okay with them. Sure, they don't compared to real crumbled bacon but in a pinch, when you need something besides chives and steak sauce to put on your cottage cheese, they fill the bill.

You know, I actually like them. I don't really think of them as bacon or a bacon substituted I don't think though. I just like them for what they are. Add some texture and a different flavor to the salad basically. One restaurant I frequent has them on the salad bar.

Is meat beaten?

Any way you break it down, the Beyond Star is a burger without a mission. If you are a vegetarian and you don't like beef, why are you trying to eat something that tastes like beef? If you are a vegetarian and you like beef, why don't you stop deluding yourself in to thinking that somehow the Beyond patty is better for you? If you are a vegetarian, and you are not eating beef for religious reasons, why not just change religions? If you are not a vegetarian, why the hell are you eating a vegetarian patty? (I already answered that, I took one for the team.)

Vegetarians like junk food too, you damn mutant. Where's Sentinel Services when you ned them? And I still think you tattoo much fast food.

Well, okay, it's a guilty pleasure and I rarely share it with people because it's a tad freaky. Yes, you're right, I do in fact tattoo fast food. Just the other day I inked a heart on a Big Mac. Fries don't react well to the needle however, so I generally avoid them. I might just do a full skull and crossbones on a Taco Bell supreme burrito this week.
