Those Pesky Pescetarians

Last night I did a wikipedia search on vegetarianism to see where I am exactly on my non-meat eating stance. There are varying categories of being a vegetarian and I knew for sure I wasn't reaching "top-of-the-line" status with my thirst for dairy products. Yes, I would like a glass of milk, thank you.

What did I find in this recent wikipedia raid? As it goes, I am not a vegetarian. Shocker!! Since I eat fish, I am out of the vegetarian club; apparently some of them get testy when salmon lovers everywhere claim to be vegetarians. I wouldn't want to get the stink-eye from someone who doesn't eat meat. The Force is strong with them, I reckon. Full-on vegans are probably Jedi Masters. At a buffet, Sith Lords can be found by the counter where they slice roast beef. Cool.

To sum it all up, I officially recognize my re-classification as a pescetarian. It is pronounced with a distinct "SKuh" sound. I had to look that up. I sure as heck couldn't say it just by looking at it. Just look at Joe Pesci's name. All together, folks, PESK-e-tair-IAN.

[NOTE: my MySpace page has been fixed accordingly to reflect my non-vegetarian status]
