Fuck that, the grillmaster determines grill temperature, grill time, cooking order and seasoning. Everyone else can suck their thumb.

Some chick asked me not to let her veggie burger touch the same part of the grill as the burgers. I told her fine then ignored the request. I clean the grill maybe once a year so it's not like it makes any difference where I put it.

That rent sounds cheap for the area. Is it? I don't know anything about Berkeley.

it's preposterously cheap. But it's also some sort of commune, so there's several smelly hippies sharing the space--you're basically paying for a tiny bedroom (so that is expensive).

everything else is shared.

and neighbors matter. you're paying less because living amongst smelly hippies is like living in Richmond amongst warring gangstas

It's not? :hmm:

if the weed is potent and plentiful enough to mask the pachouli, then that would be fine.

though, I don't think there is a substance on earth that can out-compete pachouli.

I don't have a problem with hippies, and I could /mostly/ live with their food rules. Leather, and dairy would be the deal breakers for me if they weren't allowed.

He did not mention dairy products and leather.. both are acceptable in Hindu culture.

No leather? Count me out. Most of my motorcycle gear is leather. Leather gloves, leather jacket, leather boots. It is better than any other material for making protective motorcycle gear.

Of course, this is why you're obviously not the Grillmaster.

It's sad, PETA has a good cause in principal, but they are just too insane with it. I agree 100% on doing everything to stop unethical treatment of animals. That means, making them suffer for nothing, killing them for no reason etc. Killing (humanely) for meat does not fall under unethical imo. They would be shocked to find out how they die in nature.

I'll respect if someone is a vegen, but don't start trying to make me feel bad for "murdering innocent animals". If one finds a slaughterhouse that is beating animals and causing them to suffer, I'll back them up 100% to stop it, however.

But peta is just insane. They have totally went out of control and are just doing it all wrong. There's some good things they've done like busting Iams and Procter and Gamble's serious animal cruetly but now they are just retarded.

Someone should go park a burger bus near that property.

You guys realize that being a vegetarian and PETA are mutally exclusive right.

There is nothing wrong with PETA on paper. It's the extremist actions some of their members enter into that is no different than terrorism.

IMHO this is a proper roommate ad. Too many fools just hope to get half their bills covered and they will live happily ever after.

True the more 'rules' you put in your want-ad the less calls you will get, but that is also the point.
