Powers of a Vegan Nature

A few days ago one of my friends asked me something rather strange:
"You're a vegan right? So then, do you have Vegan Powers??"

At first the general WTF expression that I usually make, when someone asks me something borderline ludicrous (or when I see that guy who wears giant sunglasses, sequined clothes and dances in the city on frequent occasions) made an appearance.
However, later that night he sent me a link to a clip from the movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World.

In all honesty this movie is an incredible film, not in the sense that it was good; but more or less that you sit there for give or take 2ish hours waiting for some part of it to start making sense- and it never does! I must say though, that I thoroughly enjoyed checking out the incredibly alternative hair colours that made their way onto screen. Will half a head of 'Hyper Blue' hair be making it's way into my personally style anytime soon?.... I'll get back to you on that one. :S

Back on track, this video features good old Scott taking on Boyfriend numero tre`(-no), Mr Todd Ingram, in a battle to the ...err... death? However Boyfriend number 3 is no push-over, due primarily to his acquisition of VEGAN POWERS! I'm assuming that the whole idea behind 'vegan powers' is that due to restricting ones diet from meat and animal products, one is forced to eat the best of fruits, vegetables and other health foods in order to survive, and as a result of this they are not only supreme survivers, have the gusto from premium foods, but also a sense of extreme pretentiousness- Which can totally bolster an individual during a battle to the death.


Since I watched this little cracker of a vid, I've begun to wonder whether I've gained any incredible skills... and YES, yes I have.


My first vegan skill- The ability to fall asleep very easily.


Yes indeed it's a valuable skill, especially during the exam period that has been plaguing me for the past two and a bit weeks. After many many weeks of sleepless night instead of having to re-set my sleeping patters, this no longer matters, as I can fall asleep anytime and anywhere.
It's also fantastic for uses such as avoiding church appearances and/or showing my disapproval of many boring situations.


My second vegan skill - Insatiable Hunger.


I can't stop eating~ It's fairly scary! As a trade-off, in order to prevent the occurrence of my first ability (one of which I still haven't got the hang of controlling, cause yeah, I'm totally ).... I eat.
So anything you throw at me, will be consumed like a black-hole! XD
Oh wait, unless it's non-vegan food. -Ah shit, I just realised how truly useless this skill is. *sigh*~

My third (and most powerful) vegan skill - Extreme pretentiousness.


Yeah, most vegans I'd assume would have this skill because well, most vegans ARE pretentious. I'm not gunna lie, it takes an incredible amount of will power to crack the uppedy shell that acts as the vegans 'force field'.

Ah, but why am I explaining all of this to you? Just have a look at the youtube vid and see for yourself!



Okay, so he died and vegan powers were proved useless in comparison to the ultimate 'cool' that is Scott Pilgrim and his Guitarist flare....and what has this taught me??!!

VEGAN POWERS + GUITAR FLAIR = WORLD DOMINATION!....ishax
