Longtime readers may recall that I’ve posted a link or two to Penny Arcade in the past, and longtime internet users might expect that “in,” “the,” and “past” would be hyperlinks to actual evidence of such a claim, but I don’t want to wreck it for when I use my time machine to republish VP in the year 1955 as a series of commemorative postcards, where links won’t work. (The time machine’s the easy part; deciding what the postcards will commemorate is the tough one.) Suffice it to say that I don’t play a lot of video games, and I don’t think Gabe and Tycho eat much tofu, but I feel like we’ve got a lot in common, somehow.

And I’ve probably told this story before, but probably not to you, because you just got here (and the Google search you used will remain between us, at least until you achieve a major political office,) and it’s important to realize that most people still don’t know where gelatin comes from. Also, this is a chance to point out that I’ve dated at least two people.
Years ago, my girlfriend at the time, who is not Angela, was vegetarian, not vegan, and couldn’t figure out how to make me a birthday cake, but then she told me she’d made something really special. Cool! I get to her place, and there it is: a Jello cake. Made of Jello. Which is, as the internet is constantly trying to tell us, powdered bone slime.
The explanation phase was delicate, to say the least, though I’m not sure if she flushed it because she got the message about Jello being really really gross, or if she just felt bad about the incident. We, er, didn’t really stay in touch.
(Wow, most upbeat ending to a post EVER! Here, enjoy some NSFW Penny Arcade TV to cheer you up. It involves Chat Roulette. And penises, but you probably already guessed that part, what with Chat Roulette and all.)

If those two nerds were vegan, they’d probably explode in a blinding flash of pure awesomeness.
On a related note, not that I track these things, but I’m seeing some connection between the words “Wil Wheaton” and “vegan.” I’m not saying he is (though nothing can stop “OMG I saw in a comment on VP that WW is vegan!” from showing up 5 years later on the interwebs, except maybe the end of the interwebs,) just that these words connect from time to time, such as here: http://twitter.com/wilw/status/11055068475
Does anyone who has more free time than I do care to comment?
I don’t know if I want Wesley Crusher to be vegan.
Am i the only one who thinks Wesley Crusher is totally fuckable?!?!? Uniform, dorkiness, and all.

Wait, from what season? No, not for me, for the survey I will conduct among the Vegan Singles Research Unit. Which I am not a member of.
Every season….but I was a tween when I started crushing on him, so it is NOT creepy on my part.
