NON-VEGETARIAN vs. VEGETARIAN
Matt the Meat Eater vs. Delfino the Detester of Dat Shit
NYC comedian Matt Ruby sent this rant out in an email blast today and I thought it was so funny and silly when I read it, it inspired me to respond. Enjoy!
MATT'S SIDE:
MY BEEF WITH VEGETARIANS
Why do vegetarian restaurant menus always have fake meat products like Sham, Tofurkey, and Fake'n? These are the tribute bands of the food world. "Tonight, playing all the hits of real beef, it's Not Dogs!" And sham!? You're telling me right there the product is terrible. What do you order along with that? A bowl of the inferior-rip-off-chili?
At least meat eaters actually like meat. You don't see this at a steakhouse: "Tonight's special is Crock-oli.
That's where we take bacon, compress it into the shape of a broccoli stalk, remove it's flavor, and paint it green...because THAT'S what we secretly want to eat."
Bacon doesn't need a disguise. It doesn't need to get dressed up in a costume for Halloween. Bacon just shows up and goes,
"Knock, knock, I'm Bacon, trick or treat!" And it's always treat. Because it's bacon. And bacon is always treat.
Sorry veggie people, it doesn't make sense to hate meat but like its impostor. That's like saying, "I can't stand
Vegas, but Branson, Missouri is the bomb!" If ya love 'em so much, just let vegetables be vegetables.
JESSICA'S SIDE
I PREFER MY STEROIDS SHOT DIRECTLY INTO MY ARM
As a vegetarian I will tell you (a rare admission) that I (and many other vegetarians) LOVE the "taste" of meat but choose not to eat it because of the massive amounts of damage it does to humans, animals, the planet, etc.
(Have you seen Fast Food Nation? Did you watch the ending scene? Wow...)
I miss eating rare steaks, burgers, bacon, etc., and can only get a shimmer of satisfaction by sniffing bacon or eating facon or Morning Star chik patties, etc. (BTW, bacon bits are actually not made of bacon at all.) But I feel better and am slimmer, healthier and am doing my small part to try to help this doomed planet. (Ask if you'd like me to elaborate.)
A close woman friend of mine in her 50s got a tumor in her woman parts from the steroids that go into meat, poultry and dairy. This is a common phenomenon for women of menopausal age -- their body chemicals are all out of wack as is, and then all the steroids present in the food they eat kick in and things get out of control. The steroids also cause and complicate other kinds of cancers in women (steroids make things, like tumors, grow faster and bigger) and men (colon cancer -- very popular among men -- you can thank the burger meat that can't completely digest in your colon for that!)
Also, young girls are getting their lady times earlier, starting at about age 10 or 11 due to the same thing -- more steroids in the milk, etc.
Meat makes moustaches grow on 10 y.o. girls bc of the unethical meat and poultry and dairy practices (such as putting steroids into chickens to make their breasts grow bigger so you can get a fatter, juicier chicken breast). Mmmm! Steroid-y chicken tits! Moustaches on 10 y.o. girls! Hot.
By eating fake chicken now, I am making an effort to avoid vag tumors later in life. Yay fake chicken!!
Plus, I actually do love the taste of seitan. That shit is GOOD. Ever had the orange seitan at Wild Ginger? If you are a meat-eater, I date you to take the Orange Seitan challenge. (I offered to take Matt there and treat him to it if he will take the orange seitan challenge. Will he have the tofurkey nuggets to do it?)
This is my final point -- most of the meat, dairy and poultry that you eat is so many parts steroids, drugs, bones and filler that unless you are getting top quality product, you are practically eating less meat than I do!
ha ha ah hahahahahaha SUCKER!

On my way home last night, walking across Canal St. back to my neighborhood around 4 am or so, I snapped this photo with my camera -- I thought it was an example of somewhat brave advertising on the part of Fresh Direct. I imagine this should get the Catholic League on THEIR asses. Or maybe get them some seitanist customers.

I HAD A LOT OF FUN READING THIS BLOG
Yeah, I said it. I had FUN reading a BLOG. It was entertaining and fun to read. A good jam on the old eye balls.
The first time I saw Wooooo magazine it was so cute and small I wanted to cover it with some Bonne Maman, put it between two pieces of bread and pretend to eat it. I read it and I enjoyed reading it, but reading
the blog tonight was even better. Did you ever watch a movie, then watch it again later and have a grand realization,
wondering what ass your head was in the last time you watched it? Yes, you have, just admit it and stop being all antidisestablismentarianism about it. That experience is what I felt with this.
PS. I just looked up antidisestablismentarianism in the dictionary to see if I spelled it right and it was not there.

A REALLY NICE GESTURE
A review from a Myspace friend in Ohio. I can't help but be flattered and touched by his encouragement!! If there were more people in the world like him, I'd have my own show on TV by now. Thanks for writing this, Andy. You should be my new fan club president, MISTER!!

#1 Friend 2/20/09 Jessic Delfino
What can I say about Jessica Delfino that others haven't already said? The gal has got talent. Mad skills all over the place. She can sing, is funny as all get out and as she puts it "can kinda sorta play guitar" (a complete under estimation of her abilities by the way). I think that her act is hilarious and find her to be fascinating and brave. Doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous either. I would be a helpless groupie but thankfully I live too far away for such nonsense...
Jessica has been doing her style of "Dirty Folk Rock" comedy for some time now, but caught some media attention when her awesome video for "My Pussy Is Magic" started getting passed around online, becoming one of those must see viral clips. Jaw dropping in it's audaciousness the song and video refuses to let you get away alive. You have to laugh it just how outrageous it is and give a tip of the hat to her for having the "balls" to do it all. The Catholic Legion of Decency decried Delfino for her work and You Tube eventually pulled the clip the day they were bought by Google, which also happened to be the day Playboy.com made it their clip of the day.
But Delfino and her comedy is all about taking on subjects that are taboo and bringing them into the light and laughing about them. Her song "Don't Rape Me" played entirely on a Rape Whistle is a hysterical wake up call, while "I'm Saving This Rape For Someone Who Loves Me" slides down a sliperly slope of satire that not everyone will get. Her song "I Want To Be Famous" talks about wanting to kill someone to become someone important and could easily be the John Hinkley story from a female pop persepctive. But her style is so upbeat and fun that you never feel the sting of the material and that is her genius. She can get to you were you live and make you feel great about it.
In recent years tons of hype and praise has been slathered on comedian Sara Silverman who had, at least for a while become the media's darling of comedians. Personally I think Jessica Delfino has everything the critics claimed Silverman has and more. I personally think she deserves the success that Silverman has had.
So let's do something about this and spread the word. She'd got two fantastic CD's out and does regular shows in NY and elsewhere. She's my Number One friend right now, so go check her out!

Ever Wanted To Plant A Tree Near Your House...
...but had no idea how to go about it? My friend D. found this link
and sent it to me and some other friends. I went to it and filled it out,
it took about 5 seconds and was very easy. Click on the screen shot below to plant a tree in any of the 5 boroughs.

JESSICA'S CHEST...of treasures
This is a new mini-series I've been working on with Peter Bernard. It's called "Jessica's Chest...of treasures" and features
me showing and yapping about all the trinkets and treasures I've acquired in my various adventures. I have a LOT
of them!!
I hope you enjoy it -- it features my pink flying V ukelele and the song "CHINATOWN" which a lot of people like.
And especially, it stars Ms. Puss, my adorable kitty kat. And a pink gay prison uniform.
Stick THIS in your pipe and take a puff...

PERFORMING IN NYC
I love performing around NYC. Almost every night, it's a new adventure in a new space. Some spaces are grungy dives in basements, packed with smartly dressed, disaffected college students. Other spaces are polished lounges with two drink minimums and costly door covers. Then there are even other, stranger spaces -- roof tops, sidewalks, boats, grave yards, park benches, hotel rooms, subway cars and more, where I have the opportunity to perform for people who want to be entertained as well as people who don't want to be spoken to or looked at in any capacity.
There used to be a show in a laundry mat in the Lower East Side, Suds and Yuks or something, it was called. What will be the next odd show spot? A pool? A jacuzzi? A hot dog cart?
Performing in the subway can be rewarding. I haven't done it for awhile because it's scary sometimes, and I heard that you breathe in iron dust from the subways if you're down there for too long. Not to mention I even more recently heard that the wooden benches have bed bugs on them. And even worse, they're made out of rainforest wood. (For some reason it's really cheap to buy? And supposedly NYC is one of the biggest users of rainforest wood!!??)
Last night, I performed twice. I performed at a comedy club uptown called Stand Up NY in a show, "Music Is A Joke" where I got voted off the show after 4 weeks of hanging in there. After that show, I went to the Bowery Poetry Club, one of my favorite spots. That place is great for performing because it has great sound, a knowledgeable dedicated tech person and tech set up, including a large video screen that can play DVDs, etc., a big, nice stage, a large backstage, a piano on the stage, and all the other things any performer may fancy.
On Wednesday, I'll perform my Jessica Delfino Dirty Folk Rock Show Episode 2 (live re-run) at Glasslands. I've never performed there before, but it's in Brooklyn. It's a lovely cave-like space with a loft thing where audience members can get a bird's eye view of what is happening. The last time I was there, I saw a macaroni and cheese competition.
Performing in NYC is more fun than performing anywhere else in the world. But I'd rather perform once a week in Idaho then never perform at all!
I love performing around NYC. Almost every night, it's a new adventure in a new space. Some spaces are grungy dives in basements, packed with smartly dressed, disaffected college students. Other spaces are polished lounges with two drink minimums and costly door covers. Then there are even other, stranger spaces -- roof tops, sidewalks, boats, grave yards, park benches, hotel rooms, subway cars and more, where I have the opportunity to perform for people who want to be entertained as well as people who don't want to be spoken to or looked at in any capacity.

CALGAL
This cute idea combines 3-D animation with sexy flying avatar ladies who tell you trivia factoids for every day of the week with weekends off to re-do their makeup or drink at cyber bars or do whatever sexy flying avatars do when they get a break.
Featuring the voices of Jane Pear, Michelle Carlo, Rosie Rebel and myself, these little 3-D creepazoids
tell you stuff you may have already known but probably didn't know. The writing is pretty cute and fun
and you will definitely pick up a fact or two. If you're a trivia lover, you will dig CALGAL.
Animated and written by Peter Bernard. My little monsterette is a Southern Belle named Callie. Check it
out every day and learn something new!!
You can also visit the website here, at calgals.info to see back dated CALGALS.
In other news, if you missed last night's Dirty Folk Rock Show, you have a chance to see it again, next Wed. Feb. 18th and
then it will be gone, like a comet, and you will probably never get to see it live again. I will be putting up some pictures and reviews of the show after Feb. 18th.
Next Dirty Folk Rock kids show for adults, March 4th, 8 PM at Santos Party House, 100 Lafayette at Canal. $5.
