I had a vegan waffle before. It was eh. I also had vegan " buffalo chicken tenders" which my buddies claimed tasted just like the real stuff.


This was not true, and it was a very strange food. Like alien food. But the onion rings I had were really, really good. And this ketchup was amazing.

The Viking Age isn't terribly well documented but can anyone comment on it's historical accuracy?
Well, Ragnar Lodbroke is considered to be a mythical figure. His name means Ragnar Furrypants and is a reference to how he beat a dragon (the pants protected him against the dragon's venom). He also married the daughter of Sigurd Fåvnesbane who killed the dragon Fåvne. It's bit like claiming that LotR is historical fiction. If Ragnar was real he would've been too young to attack Lindisfarne, he did lead several successful raids against France though.
Disregarding this the show get somethings right and somethings wrong. The funerals is based on the writings of Ibn Fadlan and the trip to Uppsala is based on the writings of Adam of Bremen. The show depicts the vikings going on raids without helmets and with a form fitting chainmail. In reality they would wear loosefitting chainmails and helmets. The show also treats Lodbroke as a family name instead of a nickname. Ragnar's son's surname wouldn't be Lodbroke but Ragnarson.
. During one battle Rollo suddenly busts out a poem. The problem with this is that his poem uses rhymes, the real vikings would've used alliterations instead.

I'd go with bacon because at this point, you know it's so many people's go-to for trying to break someone's vegetarian/veganism.

Moviechat: A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 is way weaker than the first, but it still has a lot of fun moments. It's really surprising the director didn't notice any gay subtext in a movie where a man is tied up naked in a gym and gets rat tails across the rear end.

I'm pretty sure that vegan diets would be untenable without consuming microorganisms. You need those for yogurt, anything soy, and alchohol. Or anything but a carefully sterilized paste in a sealed vacuum tube.

Also I don't think you digest the bacteria, it's either dead, joins the party in your metabolism, passes though, or fucks your day.

What you do eat it is its poop.

What I'm saying is that I think vegans can eat poop.

Delicious bacteria poop.

To put you in the right mindset, people didn't notice that Freddie Mercury was gay. Like, the band's name was Queen for fuckssake.

Most of the country probably thought gay subtext was something that could give you AIDs. If you picked it up in something you liked, I guess you ignored it pretty hard.

Yeast is a fungus anyway. I'm sure those are vegan.

Speaking of milk, I learned I'm lactose intolerant after I did badly on a test in college because I drank an entire bottle of milk before taking it and it gave me a bad stomachache. Never stopped farting the whole test, and it was at night too. Now I can eat anything dairy as long as I also eat something with lactose-digesting bacteria in it afterwards, liike yogurt.

Oh yeah. It's easy to forget which dietary bacteria cultures start with milk rather than plant matter :colbert:

I mean unless you're uptight about milk being produced in nightmare horror factories. Or are lactose intolerant. Or something.

Had to re-watch The House of the Devil after seeing It Follows. Not as scary as I remember, but still a very nice film. I know a lot of folks don't care for West's films, but I think out of all the young horror filmmakers out there, he's doing the most interesting stuff with the genre. Even the much maligned The Innkeepers is a really underrated little movie. With The House of the Devil he basically put his foot in the door with this style that says, "What in "horror movie" makes us think only of trying to scare people, and what if you made a film that was uniquely a horror film but was more about the sensation of unease than any particular payoff?" With The Innkeepers he just takes this logic to its next step, by basically conceiving of a conventional indie drama with cruel supernatural elements. I still need to see The Sacrament, but I think it's telling that his next feature was - by many's description - effectively a transcription of a real-life cult massacre, and that his next one coming in December is actually a Western.

It's a shame that his segment in V/H/S isn't much to write home about. But I didn't really care for that movie all that much to begin with.

Second Honeymoon remains the best film Ti West has ever made.

i dunno, i really don't think he's topped House of the Devil and it's looking increasingly unlikely that he ever will. Second Honeymoon is pretty good, though.
