Mike Tyson's Reason for Going Vegan: Prostitutes?
CNN ^ | June 19th, 2012 | Tomika Anderson

Mike Tyson's reason for going vegan: Prostitutes? This may be the best reason we've heard to go vegan yet.

Mike Tyson told "Today" host Ann Curry Tuesday morning that he adopted the vegan lifestyle to help usher in change - and not just change in what was on his dinner plate.

While much of America was enjoying a first cup of coffee, the former heavyweight champion - who was on the program with director Spike Lee to plug his new one-man show on Broadway - took them down a winding road lined with hookers and regret as he explained what changed him.

"I just threw up the white flag,” he said. “Too many prison cells, jail, too many lawsuits, too many bankruptcies, too many women, too many venereal diseases, too many everything. I got tired."

And then there was this apparent tipping point: "I really got tired of um, every time my prostitute girlfriend came back from a trip I had to sleep with her, so I said you know, I’m going to live a different life."

But Tyson wasn't done yet. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I was a prostitute hunter,” he added.

Better late than never.

I think the death of his child weighs on him daily.

Just when cannibalism is getting trendy, Tyson goes the other way.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I was a prostitute hunter,”

Soon, he can become a ZOMBIE PROSTITUTE HUNTER.

I’ve not lived Tyson’s life, but I think I can sympathize with the way he felt. The problem is, veganism, clean living, the straight and narrow, these are not the answer, just band-aids that will fall off sooner or later. The man needs Christ, the only permanent salve for his wounds.

Amen to that Boogieman.

I would like nothing better than to see Mike Tyson become truly a new creature in Christ and testify to God’s infinite mercy and compassion.

Maybe Manny Pacquaio will reach out to him, I’m sure they share a lot of the same experiences.

I think odds are that Tyson will die a reprobate:

Mike Tyson, former boxer, convicted rapist, son of Islam, said vile, violent, putrid things about Sarah Palin, all the while laughing with the radio hosts, who took no offense when he said he’d like to see Dennis Rodman, “Pushing her guts up in the back of her head.” From the audio, you could tell they were holding their sides, laughing so hard it hurt.

Let's see: I'm pushing 69 and semi-retired, so I'm not exactly "flush," therefore, I must choose carefully.

Ah, decisions, decisions!

Should I squander my meager resources on a Hooker (not that I have anything against "working girls," considering I spent 5 years in the Far East and SE Asian as a young, virile, Airman in the USAF and I'll let it go at that) or choose the following?

Yes, which shall it be?

Photobucket
Arugula

....OR.....

Photobucket

Anyone want to guess "what's for dinner?" And please no "double entendres" lol

Didn’t recall he’d lost a child.

Just posted my punchline, without reading the article.

The pictures remind me of that saying, “You are what you eat.” So if cows eat only vegetable matter, does that make a cow a vegetable and if I eat that cow can I be a called vegetarian?

Yeah, she was four years old. She got tangled in a treadmill power cord and strangled herself.
