    • Straight edgers: drug vegans.
    • Recycling: waste vegans.
    • Solar power: power vegans.

    The possibilities are infinite if you are a netaphor vegan.

      Recycling: waste vegans.

      The Germans are probably upset with this comparison

      What for a nonsense. Do these other countries not sort their waste or what? Do they not know about efficiency? Next thing you’re going to tell me they don’t sort their white, green and brown glass separately.

        This works so well specially for those people that refuse to touch anything “not cooked” in their plate or that is green.

          High five, fuck yes. Cool person detected. I think you’re the first one to spot it, too.

          I wish I had that series in print. Might be time to look into that

            Ooh, print would be amazing. $30 for the softcover, wonder about shipping though…
            I have to believe you’re underestimating how recognizable TOE is.

              It’s a hard one to gauge for me. I’m pretty sure I found it via stumbleupon back when that was really great. I read the whole thing in close to one go, and I never hear anyone else talk about it.

        I interpreted that as techno, as in the genre, for too long.

      It’s like taking the last syllable of the name of the hotel and tacking it onto every scandal, because you didn’t understand that it’s part of the name of a hotel, and not some sort of indicator of scandal.
