Today in "ludicrous consumption news", I acquired a fur coat. I would rather have a personal demonic milquetoast, but one makes do with what one has.

In my defense, I didn't really mean to. There was an ebay auction, and I put in the minimum bid as a lark, and then I won it, to my chagrin. It's not like I can wear it anywhere. It's dyed rabbit, which I think is the fur equivalent of polyester. But it is very warm, and I don't hold heat well on my own. Also, it makes me feel the very model of decadent monarchy.

(And, yes, it bothers me, but I eat meat and wear leather, and I have never had pretensions to saintliness.)

Sounds good to me. I'll sing a few bars of "Meat is Murder", first.

I think, even if I were a vegetarian, I would insist that bacon cannot possibly come from any sort of animal. It just springs forth fully formed at the store, already in protective packets. The staff harvest it from the bins and pallets that are its natural growth medium and put it on displays.

It just seems so unnatural somehow, you know? Like pastrami.
