What is a theme?

A miserable little pile of subjects. I have skipped Wednesday and Thursday, but I will rectify this today with both Thursday and Friday's blag. Why not Wednesday? I chose not to do Wednesday, because it is the worst weekday. I mean honestly, can you disagree? I won't go into detail now, but Wednesday sucks.

So, I had trouble coming up with a theme for today, or yesterday, I guess. There is a lot of stuff to talk about, I just cannot decide what is worth talking about and what is not worth type. Anyways, I decided to stray from the obvious political issues, world views, problems in America, and what not for today. Today we're going all out:

ANIMALS ARE DELICIOUS

Now, the next words out of your mouth will probably be: "Yeah, and?" or "Cruelty!" Both of these are valid points. How animals are treated before they are eaten is terrible. Animals probably also have some sort of emotion, too. Maybe not clams, but sure, I can imagine some mammals have a range of emotions. I fully support people eating whatever they want to eat too. You don't want animals? Fine. You don't want any animal product? Cool. You don't want vegetables? You can just go to bed without dinner then, jerk. 

I am also not going to make an all or nothing claim here, but--I would eat a dog. There, I said it, it's such a big deal for people in the Western world, but by Jove, I would eat a dog. Hopefully, this controversial statement won't change my massive readership any. 

If an animal is raised to be delicious, it, in my mind, is edible. Once an animal is livestock, the animal is not a he or she, it is a thing. Could people be livestock? Don't ask that question, that's another blag post. What I'm getting at is, I would not run into a home, kill someone's beloved pet, and roast it on an open fire made from their plasma screen TV and family photos. This scenario would not be a part of my life. I would visit a restaurant, see Gaegogi and probably order that meal. That scenario could happen within my life. Adventure is a good thing. 

Are you following me here? I like to try new things. I have eaten boar, venison, veal, pheasant, quail, squid, goat, lamb, and probably more crazy animals. This laundry list of animals is not an attempt to say HA, HA, LOOK AT MY CULTURED WORLD. No, I mean, really, I have eaten calamari, amazing! Lamb chops, also delicious. Wild boar has this unique taste, somewhere between venison and pork. Everyone has had some crazy meats (anyone who is not a vegetarian/vegan) and I think this is a good thing. I implore everyone to go out and eat crazy things. Even dog. Cat too, but I hate cats so there would not be a second of hesitation from me. 

There was a story a while ago about a restaurant in Philadelphia's Chinatown. What did this restaurant do that was so newsworthy? Those people served tiger meat. Man, what I would have given to try that tiger. Yes, I know, this desire is somewhat despicable. But it is tiger meat! How many chances do you get to eat a tiger? Not many, that's for sure, those cats are endangered.

I seem to have lost my point here, but I think I found it: Try new things. You don't have to eat a dog, you don't have to try that weird sex position, but come on, do something! Have an adventure; sit next to a crazy homeless guy on a bus. Just don't do anything illegal. I mean, if you do, don't tell the authorities that this post gave you the encouragement necessary to finally murder your family. That sort of thing would completely ruin my day and maybe your family's too.

Also, I am an omnivorous individual who really likes eating animals. I do not strictly eat meat, because that is crazy. Practice a healthy and balanced diet. So, the moral is: Animals are so delicious, that you should try to catch them all--in your mouth!
