To me, if I'm gonna get something that's with me for life...it's gonna be something that I've worked on myself. Not just going into a shop & picking a tiger hanging off of a palm tree.

 

Also like Sqwert, the shop I went to (speakeasy) does only custom work.

sign me up for this.

I have a quick question for bigsqwert ...just out of curiosity ..when you say you are vegan, you mean you do not eat meat or any sort of animal product?! ..Did you make the decision because you feel it's healthier for you to not eat the animal products or is it a concern for the lives of the animals?!?!

 

I was thinking about this the other night and I thought to myself "Self, that was a pretty cool idea for a tat, but I could never not eat meat ...wait, don't vegans not eat more than just meat? ..yeah, I'm pretty sure they have nothing to do with any of it ..could be wrong ..but if that is the case ...it's cool to see someone who doesn't eat meat or animal products be such a fan of baseball (when I think baseball I think Hot dogs, hamburgers ..BBQ's in general!!) ..I wonder how that works though ...ya know with baseballs being covered in cowhide and the gloves being leather and all that?" ...SO I had to ask ..how extreme are you as far as that goes?!?! I'm very interested to hear about it!!

I do not consume and animal products and I try to my best ability to avoid purchasing/using any products that contain animal products. There are some things that aren't feasible such as tires on a car or bike, some computer parts, etc. And I first went vegetarian because of concerns about the environment. As I read more about the conditions about factory farmed animals I knew I wasn't doing enough by simply avoiding meat so I figured the least I could do is switch to a vegan lifestyle. It's not as difficult as it might sound to make the switch. Just look at Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez or Twins pitcher Pat Neshek.

There are hot dog, sausage, burger alternatives that do not contain animal products. When I go to the Sox games I'll either tail gate beforehand or eat before I go to the game and just buy beers. The Cell offers a veggie burger but I'm not sure if it's vegan. It may have egg in it.

Thank you!! I was kickin' myself in the ass for forgetting to ask yesterday ..but with the draft goin' on that's mostly what I've been up to!!!

 

How long has it been since you made the switch? Do you not miss eating a steak every now and again?

Went vegetarian in january of 2006. Switched to vegan in august of that same year.

 

At first I missed meat but that feeling dissipated quickly.

 

This made me laugh (from the Chicagoist)

 

Are you being serious, Steve? YOU, of all people, are going to call ME creepy? Ok.

 

I'm just going to say this now because I have been seeing this nonsense all over the board.

 

WE HAVE A CUTE GIRL POSTING AT SOXTALK.

 

Stop the presses.

 

Enough with all the lame comments about "this thread is getting weird," or "this thread is getting creepy," or whatever.

 

It's only creepy or weird when people say s*** like that.

 

In regards to myself, I "wink" at posters all the damn time, and no one calls me creepy. Why it should be considered creepy when I do it to a female poster seems ridiculous to me.

 

In regards to the rest of the people responding to girlslikebaseball, she obviously has thick skin, she's used to being around men (and boys), and she isn't going to go running into her bedroom and play with her barbies because we like to talk about women and we swear. She can handle herself, so just pretend as if she is one of the guys (obviously to a point).

 

Now let's ALL GET OVER OURSELVES and move on as usual, because I am tired of all the silly jockeying, commenting, and just overall lame-ass behavior because of the fact that we have a young lady in our presence.

 

Mark, it brings out the primal nature in men. Not defending it, just saying...

He knows. It was his primal nature that was accurately called creepy.

Its one thing to jokingly comment and then seriously be creepy.. I have seen more posts on the seriously creepy side than the joking side..

Seems like everyone here has had an idea of what they wanted b4 going to the tattoo parlor, has anyone ever gone looked through the books and picked a random tattoo?

My first one yes. I knew kind of what I wanted, but I didnt know the design.

Oh wow, you actually used that term.

 

Those have animal products?

 

So I've been told. Never really confirmed it though.

It's true .....I've seen tires with animal products ...my dad's Pomeranian thought it would be cute to chase a truck on HWY 10 in Little Rock Ar. ...I saw poor little Rocky meet his demise from my bedroom window ..turns out, it wasn't as cute as you might imagine. :/
