Back when I was running the Edgebreak list, some kid contacted me about doing a Vegan Break list. This was probably in 2004. To me, his concept was the lamest idea around. No only was it lame, but I found it to be a little stupid. I don’t recall Minor Threat writing lyrics about the “rules” of veganism. In fact, I could have sworn the concept of vegansim is hundreds of years old. Who is this kid to say who is and isn’t vegan. Or even list them.
Now in hindsight, the edgebreak list was on that juvenile tip too. Regardless, I ended up telling the kid I thought his idea was not good. He then got real mad at me and said he was going to add me to the Vegan break list. At the time, there were 7-8 names on this list. Mine was never added. Believe me, I looked for it.
Fast forward to yesterday. Some dude his sending me these random instant messages. He’s going on and on about how “masturbation = sxe.” It literally made no sense to me, but I let him go with it. He then starts asking me about the Veg break list. It all flooded back and I went out and found it.
Turns out, it still exist. You can read all the glorious details here, on The Veg Break List. Notice, it’s now the Veg break list. Apparently not enough people were listing Vegans so he decided to expand his membership. As of today, there are 20 names on that list. One of them is the Dalai Llama. 2 years, 14 names later, mission accomplished.
Ps. One parting shot. Please notice his online form is an exact copy/paste of my old Edgebreak list form.
Pps.
Vegetarian or Vegan, just do it. I’ve been eating vegan since 1997. Think about that.
