Hey you. Sign this petition. NOW!

My pants are constantly unzipped. But not for any good reason. I just walk around, look down, and have to rezip. Never fails. Welcome to my world. Sincerely, Chad Matthew Miller

Good idea. Yay.

Banks can kiss the ass of Food Fight. With their "overdrawn" and whatnot. Anybody want to come spend all their money here this weekend? Hmmm?

Big shocker. P-Diddy is a fucking turd.

Just got these crazy good chocolates in. Very very much like those foil-wrapped easter-football looking chocolates we all know and love.

Guess what? The National Cattlemen's Beef Association doesn't approve of the vegan diet.

Anybody been here yet? We know it exists, but haven't heard a peep from customers...

Remember high school?

We just got our shipment of vegan macadamia and pistachio nougat from Australia! We forgot how great it is. Yum.

what are you doing at work?

Hello you.

How 'bout this: from 2/21 through 2/25 (Monday through Friday) if you spend $50 or more (in the store, not online), we'll give you a free bag of Marshmallows. Huh? How about that!?! Don't say we never did anything for you.

We don't know if you are a fan of the book, but we are. And the movie looks like it's gonna be awesome! Tim from The Office, Sam Rockwell, and Mos Def are in it!! We're crapping our pants.

Old Burger King commercial. Yeah! Fried burgers can suck it!

Super ninja.

Just got in some humane mouse traps to help free you from your mouse-turd-cleaning burden. $10. And you won't have to go buy them at some shitty "feed store."

Just to let you know in advance...

March 29th, we (along with a couple other sponsors we hope) will be doing a benefit screening of "Office Space" with all proceeds going to help with legal fees for the SHAC 7. Should be fun.

Just got a call from a "supplier." It seems our "supplier" of a certain product got a call from a bigger customer of theirs, another "vaygun business" who says our prices on their product is too cheap. The "competitor" would like to see our prices raised and would like the "supplier" to help make that happen.

I fucking hate business people. I really thought this was about more than making a certain profit margin. I thought it was about helping out fellow vegans, and thereby helping out the animals. The fuzzy wuzzies. Doing our part to help the good guys.

Whatever, we just won't carry that supplier's products anymore. They win. You lose. But, really, if we wanted to "play hardball" as they say, we could kick their asses. Really. Promise. And also...price fixing is illegal. But I digress.....

Po' Vegans: Git yer cats (and yer neighbor's cats) fixed for only $10 each with the Tom & Mom Cat Special (www.spayoregon.org, 503-626-4070 x 2). And tell all your Phat (those with $10 or more of disposable income) to make a dough-nation!

Phat Vegans: Please give us some money--we'll spend it go-o-od! This is our big chance to get all those felines fixed BEFORE kitten season hits our shelters hard. The vets know it and they're giving Po' folks a screaming deal for Spay Day USA (www.ddaf.org/spayday/). Seriously, your right-away dough-nation goes 10 times as far as it would if we have to pay to get tom, mom and babies fixed later on at full price. You can send a check (with Spay Day in the memo field) to us at the address below, or donate securely on our website.

Thank you, thank you!

Thanks Jeff.

Hi there. Herbivore Magazine #7 is hot off the presses and at a Food Fight! near you. It's a looker alright. Inside are articles about SHAC 7, Dr. Neal Barnard and his rock band, OohMahnee Farm Sanctuary, and lots of great reviews and fun stuff.

So, how 'bout everybody come out to see a documentary ($100 & A T-Shirt DVD: A Documentary About Zines in the Northwest) at the Hollywood Theatre on Feb 23rd? Mark your calendars and don't forget.

"The occasionally raved about video documenting zines and related culture will be playing again in Portland at the Hollywood Theatre (4122 NE Sandy Blvd) on Feb 23 at 7 PM. It will be a benefit screening for the IPRC in Portland. Admission is sliding $5-10. This may be the best the movie will look and sound in Portland."

"A cultural analysis of what causes zine makers to tick; what the hell zines are, why people make zines, the origin of zines, the resources and community available for zine makers, and the future of zines. Interviews with about 70 zine makers, ex-zine makers, and readers from the northwest. Featuring footage of the Portland Zine Symposium, other zine related events, and activities bringing zine culture to life. An original documentary with over 64 hours of footage for people with a new interest in zines as well as pros and novices. The video sparks untapped creativity and new interest into zine making and reading. Artwork by Cristy Road and music by J Church and Defiance, OH! Created by Basil Shadid, Rev. Phil Sano, Nickey Robo, and Joe Biel."

Should be great. Come and support friends of Food Fight.

So, our pal Chris just sent us this. If it's true, it sucks.

Here's what I do with a double-guitar.

Rita just told me that they've had shoplifting problems at Otsu next door. I know it must happen here too. A word of warning to all the shoplifting blog-readers out there....you will get a punch in the stomach. How fucking lame can you get. Go steal from the big guys. Turds.

We have a crush on Amy Sedaris. Even though I'm sure she eats meat and is just an "animal lover" who doesn't like fur this week, she's still funny as hell and gets some points for this PETA ad.

My head is killing me. What's the hippy cure for a sinus headache? There has to be one that can be put together with ingredients found around our store and some wicca magik power. Marshmallow fluff and flax seed? Dear lord Pan help me.

Dear Diary. Holy shit! You should see these heart-shaped cheesecakes for Valentine's day. Man. Oh, man.... These are gonna sell out quick.

Ramune, the Japanese party soda is here. May we kindly request opening the bottle outside of our store. There is enough party in here as it is.

Thanks to Mr. Chard for this link. Older radio show with Ricky Gervais (aka David Brent) and his "mate" (co-creator of The Office).

So, in theory, there will be some Valentine's day, heart-shaped, cheesecakes arriving, maybe Friday night or Saturday. Call first to check. Should be grand.

Ricemellow Fluff. That's right, vegan marshmallow fluff. Take that.

Chocolate Chip cheesecake. With icing. It's here.

So, that Purell no wash hand sanitizer stuff that everybody is so into. It has glycerin. And I just got an email from Purell saying that the glycerin is non-animal based. And no animal testing. So...STERILIZE you paranoid bastards!

Check out this ChocoSoy stuff. Looks exciting. We're supposed to get samples and order info soon... Sometimes this is a really good job.

Kinda cool.

I want gills. That would be radical.

Crap. We completely forgot about the pile of Tofurky Feasts still taking up space in our storage freezer. They're good for years in the freezer, but we need the space. Anybody want one or two? $10. Keep 'em in your freezer and wait for next year. Or eat them next weekend and pass out on the couch. They're in storage, so if you come in, just ask and we'll get one for you.

Now eating a great sandwich. Potato salad and deep fried chicken nuggets between some rosemary-olive oil bread. I want to sleep.

My favorite blog by one of my favorite people is back in action. Welcome back Chris. True till Death.

Just got this feedback from an online order.

"Food Fight! Grocery is top-notch! Great selection, the price is right, and its all good for you. Anybody who does not shop there is foolish. thank-you."

I love that. Foolish.

This page always makes me grin.

We've said it once. We'll say it again. If you need a doctor, and are in the Portland area, and you give a shit whether your doctor is vegan or not, than go see Dr. Heitsch at Integrated Medicine Group. They'll even have a vegan naturopath on board in March. And she's nice too.

This is the slowest day ever. It's Saturday, what's up. Geez. We just got vegan Glucosamine. Isn't that enough to excite the kids. All those kids with their arthritis from "headbanging" and "moshing" and "slam-pitting"?

Congrats to Michelle and Josh from Herbivore Magazine. They made a baby. Ruby Bird Hooten. Pictured below sporting an old school Food Fight pin.

One of our bestest friends, Mr. Peter Brandt, just left town today to move to D.C. to be a big fancy lawyer for HSUS. What a prick. Who shall I, Chad, share intimate evenings with at Kalga Cafe, sipping upon the young coconuts? Hmmm? Tell me that. Damn it Peter. You're bumming me out.

Anyway, he left a box of CD jewel cases out by our dumpster if anybody needs some.

Eh, I'm sure those people were already dumb before drinking...

Tough shit.

Who will get the very last heart shaped box of chocolates? Hmm? You? I doubt it.

Here's your daily dose of...ugghh.....

"Actually it's quite fun to fight 'em, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up front with you, I like brawling,"

Thanks to our dearest friend Paul, The Futureheads are now in our lives. God bless you Paul. And God Bless that picture we have of you, you know the one, the one with the bug-eye sunglasses....that rules.

We just got some fresh sushi in. We should be getting some every day. If it sells. Damn fine stuff. Come eat it.
