Just when I thought my screwy relatives couldn't get any screwier...

[Archae]

I was at a relative's house, and one of my other relatives was there, one I usually don't like seeing.

She's a teenager, STRICT vegan. Not even milk.
Normally it wouldn't bother me, except she's what I call a "vegan evangelist."

Constantly berating any of us for eating anything not plants.

So my teenage nephew and I are discussing the upcoming videogames, and the ones just out.
Vegan teenager gets on our case.

"You're doing nothing but killing, especially animals in those horrid games!" :wtf:
I remind the vegan that we only kill PIXELS.

Vegan doesn't care, it's the "depiction."

You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your relatives... :crazy:

Anyone else have a screwy relative like this?

1. I have a step-daughter like that.

You have to love your relatives but you don't have to like them.

2. Pop in the DVD of "Saving Private Ryan"...

Explain to her about how we eat cows now because they almost conquered mankind. Explain how the first 20 minutes of the movie is brave Americans are swarming up the beach to take back Europe from the Mad Cows. Explain how the people shooting at the Americans are actually cows!

And thanks to NCLB, she's probably belive it, too!


Remember, if a cow could eat you, it would. And it wouldn't feed bad about it afterwards, either.

3. I have a nephew that has gone a little over the edge on the environment.

Good kid, his heart is in the right place but sometimes he is funny. I was up visiting my parents who have always been careful about their impact on the environment. They recycle, they only have one car & it is a Toyota Prius. When they were working they both took the bus every day, they still live in the first small house they owned.
The kid asked them "Why do you have to have a yard"? My Dad's response was that it was there when he bought the house. I suggested to Dad that maybe Stephen was right, there really is no need for a yard, he ought to pave it over so it could be used for more parking! It kind of upset the kid but suggesting that an old guys yard is wasteful really was stepping over the line in my opinion.
