Christmas tree time

[ICECOLDKILLA 0]

we get a real one so not yet

[Mina Synd 0]

a real one would probably be better... but yah, transporting the thing here and there, the constant cost of buying a new tree every year... not to mention my moral objection to killing a tree just so we can satisfy our want to have a pretty decoration for christmas. i mean y'know, i could get a realistic looking fake tree for a lot cheaper which would be easily reuseable and a lot tidier...

 

guess it's just personal preference. some people like chicken, some people like beef. personally i go for lamb xD

 

-cue pointless rambling-

 

...yah. go figure. i'm buddhist and i get all weird and moral over a tree but i'll happily eat a baby sheep. my logic behind this is simple: if it wants to hurt me for no reason besides the fact that it is aggressive, then i have no problem with killing and/or eating it xD at least, so long as it is a quick relatively painful death.

 

i know i know everyone is gonna say things like "but in takeaways and supermarket food they slit the throats of the animals and let them bleed out and they die slowly!" NOT TRUE. that is called "halal", and it is a primarily muslim practice, as well as "kashrut" which is a similar jewish practice. i don't know about america, but in the UK standard animals are killed in various other "humane" methods... normally with high powered cattle prods or those stakegun things which basically put a bigass metal pole through the cow's head.

 

the only place you will see "halal" in the uk is on packages/restaurants/takeaways with it marked CLEARLY (as it's illegal to do halal and not mark it as such, and likewise the otherway round with killing in other means and marking as halal), these are very much kept in order by strict muslims/jews and animals rights activists o.o

 

anyway back to my original point. i could never eat halal/kashrut and if i had to kill an animal myself, it would have to be absolutely necessary and quick... i know scientists say that the second animal's receive a large amount of pain they are instantly filled with feel-good hormones and such so they don't feel any pain... this may be true. but personally if i see a cow or pig laying on the floor and spasming that normally means they ain't enjoying it...

 

also my main reasons for eating lamb is 1) it is VERY tasty when it's made right, and 2) lambs seem to hate me for some unexplainable reason. started from a young age before i had even started eating lamb. they tried to eat me. so i was so very happy to try eating them when offered >->

 

-end pointless rambling-

 

so yah. i like fake trees which we can buy once and use forever until it breaks, sets on fire, explodes or all the bristles eventually fall out xD

Not every network on the planet has to smear their logo feces all over the place. There are quite a few here that don't.

Did you guys miss the part about it being fake?

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Did you guys miss the part about it being fake?

There's that too but it's a cap right out of the show.

[sith_wampa 6]

It looks too clear to me. I thought it was a digital image he found not a picture he took.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Screencaps don't always look like grainy turds, especially if they're capped off a computer.

[Sonic 296]

XD i love you luk3us XDDDD that made me laugh.

 

and now the more i look at it, the more i notice how you've casually placed all those items around the area... let's see... CoD: WaW pc version, a memory stick?, a mobile phone... what looks like headphones that were made by the same company i used to buy headsets from... aaaand a dell monitor with a completely different keyboard xD nice

 

also sonic, cute kitty! 'tis adorable ^-^

 

aaaand i will take photos of my tree! as soon as we get around to putting it up! ...if we put it up this year :\ mom hasn't even mentioned it... what i should also do is take a photo of all my birthday and christmas presents in one big pile when i get everything. but i fear all the games and dvds i've brought for myself over the past couple of months would heavily outclass my presents...

 

gawd it feels so freaking weird... i feel like i just set up the tree yesterday and it's been a WHOLE YEAR already :\ it's gone by so fast @.@

[Inferno 22]

[Saracen 16]

The cats have finally got bored with playing with it, and trying to climb it for the last few days... So now I'll post mine.

 

 

The wife took the 7ft one to work to spruce up her office. Best place for it, where no cats can knock it down.

 

And yay for the fact I have a phone that costs the price of a PS3, yet contains a crap camera!
