This is a post I wrote on my personal tumblr the other day. I was feeling feisty I guess. It’s a joke of course, so I hope everyone enjoys it. -Joel (one of UV’s Media Managers)
greatmindsthinkalikeme:

I could say what’s been said by a million vegans/ vegetarians, a million times over: “Cows are just as cute and smart as dogs, don’t eat them. Meat is murder!”
But I won’t. I think it’s due time to up the ante and say, if you love f@#%ing meat so god d@$n much, why don’t you man up and eat your f@#%ing dog. That’s right. Eat your dog. What’s so great about dogs anyways. They tear up your stuff, secretly urinate all over the house, dry hump your guest’s legs. When was the last time a cow took a s#^t in your room? Why should they be punished? So, roast your Rat Terriers, deep fry your Dalmatians and barbecue your Beagles! They’ve had it coming.
Either that or become a vegan. Seriously. There is no point in saying how cute cows are, because no one is going to start playing fetch with Bessy in the living room, but you should realize your warped view of animals. If you hung a dog upside down and cut it’s neck on either side to bleed it out, you’b be surprised as to how similar that would look to the way your hamburgers and steaks are made.
Go Vegan (or start eating dogs).

Boomerang’s Gourmet Veggie and Meat Pies

This place is soooo goooood! I’ve been going here for a little while now and I just like it more and more every time I go. To my knowledge they have two vegetarian pies and two vegan pies, all four of which I wish were in my mouth right now. They are located right off Guadalupe by Dharma Yoga (just a stones throw from Wheatsville). So, go put some pies on the barbie…mate…

Local Eatz: Looking for a cool, colorful, well priced, hole in the wall (well underground really…) place to eat close to the UT campus? Well boy howdy do I have the place for you!
Arturo’s Underground Cafe!!!!!!!!!!!!
They have tacos! They have sandwiches! They have espresso! They have smoothies! [Plenty of vegetarian options as well. ;) My fellow Vegans, they have stuff for us too, less stuff granted, but stuff none the less.] Today I helped myself to two black bean tacos which I believed cost me a cool $3.50!! Not bad. Cozy environment. Great for reading. And again, very close to campus! 
Check it out. CLICK THE PIC.

In my opinion, Mother’s is pretty much the veggie mecca in Austin. So many people start their meatless crusade there and the place is so classic that it remains a favorite. A few years ago Mother’s was badly damaged by a fire. Legend has it a homeless man was trying to cook and steak (how ironic) around back and his fire got out of control and burned the place down. Is that true? Who knows, but its a fun story!
All Vegan/Vegetarian cuisine!
I recommend the Sloppy Momma Joe w/ Daiya cheese and avocado. Mmmm delicious, healthy and filling.
Sometimes a dude plays the harp!
Free chips and salsa!

Thanks to everyone who showed up to the PETA debate on Friday!

There was a great turn-out, especially for a Friday night event! Both Bruce and the UT debate team members (Kenny and Drew) brought up interesting points. The Q&A portion was a great way for audience members to voice their concerns and opinions. It did get a bit heated at times, but I think that everyone was able to get something out of the discussion. Hopefully, Neel will upload the video of the debate soon.
