With the U.S on the verge of recession, banks losing billions of dollars, wars raging and terrorist stalking, I wondered when someone would finally get around to investigating an important subject.

what is a vegetarian?


Pls explain in full, full detail.

do you eat any genes or just some genes?

In other words, what genes will you kill?

Do you think Tyson foods should be doing more to stop the terrorist threat? Or perhaps, in your mind, they should be looking into the problems with the banking system?

I was brutally attacked by a guinea hen on a 4th grade school trip...

I have very little sympathy for poultry

Mike, why don't you just look up "vegetarian" on wikipedia. And also "gene", once you're at it.

Happy to be with the majority on this one, btw.

Yes, and they should also do something to prevent "discgate" from happening again. Reminds me of the alarm-clock-power-backup-scandal in Shanghai. Tyson food didn't do anything about that either. Shocking how these guys evade their responsibilities.

I have abused Chickens, since, I was about 13 years old, my father was a chicken and he abused me when I was a duck, this is probably where the abusive behaviour I am guilty of stemmed from, I know my behaviour may seem fowl to some, but what the heck, if you cant abuse chickens, what the hell can you abuse

Yes, life can be tough. I did abuse my eyeshade last night, though, managed to get it spread out over most of my face. Also abused the butter beans, the guests had to eat them half raw, they were discussing whether they were toxic or just disgusting. I like those biochemical conversations during dinner, better than the usual smalltalk. Wouldn't like to discuss chicken abuse during dinner, though. But to each his/her own.

I would've voted for both 1 and 4, because I have a bidding system called Chicken (or KaNa in Finnish - Ka comes from my name, and Na is for Natural(ish)). I'd quite like to know what ty son foods has discovered about Chicken preempts and Chicken sacrifices let alone about opening one Chicken heart. Chicken are not usually considered game but perhaps they know something about Chicken game tries, as well.

On the other hand, I also have a system called Terroristi (strong club with 9-14 openings; "risti" is Finnish for clubs, and I played it with someone who's name is Tero, thus Ter[r]oristi). So it's very likely that Tyson will knock out Terrorists with his Fists, er, Foods in no time.

One can only wonder what happens when they finally start examining Magic Diamond, or Bart Simpson Club (another strong )...
I just discovered a truly remarkable bidding system!
Sadly, this margin was too small to contain it.

Tyson is one of the greatest evils on the face of the earth. Those of you who eat poultry should be ashamed of yourselves!


That said, even I think that the menu in heaven will include burgers and porterhouse.


Think of the chicks.

It's not chicken abuse, it's enhanced chicken interrogation.

Just down the road from Carmel, I forget the name of the town, they prominently posted a regulation forbidding the molestation of butterflies. This broke me up, but I understand that it is the place to go if you want to see Monarch butterflies. Unmolested Monarch butterflies.

We have monarch butterflies in our backyard. Why would I want to go just down the road from Carmel to abuse them.

Yours is a serious candidate for best one-liner of the year.

I suppose this interrogation also saved a lot of innocent chicken's lives, as well?
