it's pretty cruel how they fatten up the goose's liver for that - i ain't touching that to show my support against cruelty to animals

Don't they fatten up the pigs too? I'll admit it's all pretty cruel but surely they do it to all animals to a certain degree?

it's a bit late now, i'll find the video for you and the link describing the process for goose pate tomorrow

they don't unnecessarily enlarge a chicken's or pig's liver

Ugh. That sounds painful. I don't really know much about that particular farming process. I could bore you to death with a modicum of knowledge about Oil Seed Rape, and I know everything about the workings of an abotoir, but I'm not sure I know anything about liver fattening...

Yeah, but ducks and geese aren't just fattened up, they're forcefed to produce foie gras.

We're having duck tonight...
We had ducks here once, but we never force fed them. I suppose that's just one of the downsides of industrial farming.

I'm torn on the matter of duck, because I think they're adorable and I love them, but they're also very tasty (granted, they need to be trimmed of the fat).

I once ordered duck with a friend who ate all the fat I cut off of it and left on the side of my plate. Really ruined the mood of the meal, them slurping back discarded fat and me gulping back vomit behind a napkin.

Sounds horrible.... Perhaps the best thing to do next time you're with that friend is eat the duck last, and that way you can enjoy the rest of your meal!

We could never even think about killing our ducks. We just liked birds and duck eggs. We got to know them too well, and who could kill anything that sweet and fluffy when it looks into your eyes?
Of course, the foxes got them in the end, and that was even worse.

So I drank all 9 beers I was supposed to drink with my classmates, I have a fever and I feel trippy as ****.

Ah, you got smashed after all despite your fever did you? Then you came back and saw me talking about ducks with Pedestrian. Don't worry, it's not you. We really are talking about ducks. You're not that trippy.

Ducks... I approve ducks, I want to do one.

Yep, you are trippy. I might have an early night if I was you.

To be fair, I just kidded.

I thought I was talking to someone who was stoned.
Tell you what, let's pretend that you went out tonight and got smashed. It might make you feel better from your fever....

"Hey, Tsunami, I hear you had a pretty crazy night, yeah?"

Oh yeah man, I was visiting the local striptease club, an awesome trip ;D

Whoooaaa, that's WAY more interesting than my night! I haven't seen anything that awesome since I visited Sweden and spent a month in the wild suburbs of Gothenburg! (There's nothing that awesome in Cheshire)

Want to eat my puke? It's in the trashcan.

Awww, but you are in Finland. Maybe you could email it me.

Yeah, cyberpuke! <3

Hooray.

Okay, I'm off for a bath.

In the puke?

You haven't emailed me the stuff yet. I've just had my bath now, actually, and had to come out early because a "Cheshire" hot is about 4 degrees..

I did email it to you! The mailman must have failed D:

as promised:-

The Pain Behind Foie Gras | PETA.org

- narrated by Roger Moore, no less

Thanks for remembering, ll Duce!
Now I do disagree with that farming practice. That was horrible. I don't know how that man at 0:57 could have done that.

[On a related note, the was the James Bond Roger Moore, right? You probably won't believe this, but he used too live in my house once! (Not when I was there, obviously). You could probably look up whether he once lived in Cheshire...]

you're quoting my "joke" quote

it's by somebody else - this weird Filipino guy who used to make totally idiotic comments

but yeah, I disagree with that farming practice as well

i shall look for whether Roger Moore lived in Cheshire

To be honest, that quote looks funny in or out of context! The place is called Whitegates House if you want to know.

i'll look it up

Makes me hungry... :3

you're a strange man

Sue me.

Last night, Tsunami was trying to email puke to me. The conversation can be found here....

I didn't try to email it to you, I emailed it to you! I swear! :/

I got only got one email last night, it was from some company advertising weird foot massages involving fish.

That was exactly my package in a disguise.

yeah, i read it

I didn't open it. I don't trust these pedicure companies.

Damn man, then I guess you have to live without the puke.

I'll be alright. Give it to someone who may really need it.
