Trainers!?!?!?!  Come down off your double-decker bus, gov'nah!  We call them "sneakers" here in the USA.

And yes, where on earth would anybody possibly get their hands on sneakers that are not made of leather?!

I don't know why, but I imagine two "funny magicians" having this conversation.

The only thing I'm going to Maine for
is to have Sarah explain the AP style book to me as well as the finer art of comma placement.

OMG, you can't just go splashing oil paint around.  It's bad for the environment.

I met actually Kid Rock once, back when he was with Pamela Anderson.  We talked briefly and, as a vegetarian, I wondered how he reconciled Pamela's PETA work.  He said something to effect of "Everybody just needs to be tolerant, y'know?" 

Glad to see he's worked through his divorce anger like a grownup.

He should write a song about it, that's what his spiritual precursor John Lee Hooker would do.

I don't think anyone is dissing John Lee.  Kid Rock just mentioned him during his Storytellers in a way that was ridiculously offensive (although I don't doubt that he was being 100% sincere in his dumbass, misguided way).

This is a faux fur coat that achieves the same effect and is a lot more affordable.  I wonder if Kid Rock has stopped doing blow long enough to consider this alternative?

A friend of mine was once yelled at by a stranger in Vancouver for wearing a mink stole. She reasoned that since it was from a vintage shop she was doing no harm; I told her this is why I buy all of my child porn used. She didn't speak to me for a while.

You know I get the argument
I have no fur clothes I couldn't afford them nor would I want any if I could.

But its hard to take that stance and not be a hypocrite if u are still eating meat/dairy and wearing leather.
I won't take it to the silly level and say silk, insulin etc.

Yeah, I see the joke as the weird juxtaposition, like John Lee Hooker is a plate of the best barbecue ever, and Kid Rock is a microwave cheesesteak with a partially extinguished cigarette on the plate.  They don't go together and stuff.

I have to admit that the only reason the conversation sticks with me years later is that I'm sightly ashamed to have crossed that line. Posting it here was kind of like going to confession.

Leather and beef both come from the same animal.  When's the last time you ate a mink?

What's the distinction
the eating?

Whether the animals are being processed for food or clothes or industrial processes
they are still being killed. I'm not sure but the minks and such might actually lead better lives because there isn't the huge industrial industry built up around them like there is for cattle and fowl.

The distinction is that the animal is already  food, so why not wear the rest of it?

I think the important distinction is I know nobody who thinks that mink is delicious. Or that Kid Rock is a useful and productive member of society.

Is he in the Hate Pit? I think that'd be a good place for him.

I would watch "Kid Roc" though.

Kid Roc with a tiny gruff but lovable kid version of Charles S. Dutton would be great.

Chiming in that I thought it was kind of a prickish thing to say, but that I've never known anyone who wears mink in any capacity and would probably say something like that to them as well, 'cause I probably wouldn't like them.
