JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun.

Scary Veggies

It’s well into October, so all good boys and ghouls have started to think about what they want to be for Halloween. If you’re looking for vegetable-friendly ideas, the Web is a veritable salad bar of inspiration. Consider these:

Tofu the Vegan Zombie: “‘Tofu’ is a friendly zombie, created from a botched experiment in Professor Vost’s laboratory. Monkey #5, one of Vost’s lab animals, stuffed a block of tofu into the zombie boy’s open skull after accidentally losing the brain. As a result, ‘Tofu’ eats only vegetables and grains and has no taste for human meat. However, if ‘Tofu’ ever loses his ‘tofu-brain’, he turns into a dangerous zombie creature, craving human flesh….”

Vegetarian anime vampires: “Have you ever heard of the Vampirians? One noble family of such vegetarian vampires have been banished from Monsterland for their inability to scare humans. To lift the exile set on the family, Papa, the head of the household, must scare 1000 humans. To this end, he attempts to use his magnificent skills in making new inventions, but always and inevitably fails….”

And, words may fail as you feast your eyes on this Salad, “A Tribute to H.R. Giger and Giuseppe Arcimboldo.”
