Day One
Today is the start. Today is the beginning, the beginning of a massive upheaval in Pippian appetite politics, the ushering in of a new regime of hardline animal saving. Today is the embarkation of my four-month exile from the carnivorous lifestyle I have become so famous for. Today is day one.
For a third of a year, it's no more beef chow fun, kickin' shrimp pasta, deliciously marinated chicken, quarter pound mushroom teriyaki burgers, Hawaiian BBQ, Unagi, smoked bacon, soup dumplings, wontons, beef balls (in pho), Jamaican beef patties, pastrami sandwiches, heaven penny catfish, chicken feet, roast duck, steak,
..... and no more hot dogs.
There are some that say I can't do it. There are some that say I will break before the two week mark. There are some that say the essence of my character is my voracious consumption of deliciously marinated and spiced animal products, and that without this crucial element I, the Pip, would fade into oblivion like the people in the picture of Michael J. Fox's family in Back To The Future.
I laugh in the face of these people, my laughter faintly tinted with the aroma of a perfectly baked Tofurkey.
Nothing can stop me now. I am El Vegetariano.
Now, please excuse me, I am going to make a batch of 15 tea eggs.
