Omnivore

.I've seen lots of interesting and
unusual things on the bumpers of
cars, but it's usually bumper stickers
that catch my attention more
than deer carcasses or forgotten
gas caps.
Bumper stickers exnress narticu
lar points of view without the person
inside ever having to say a
thing, which can often save some
unneccessary conflict
My favorite is "Meat is Murder,"
which not only makes me
yak because it's the name of a
Smiths album, but also because it
means there's probably a vegetarian
inside. Of course, it's usually
quite ironic because I always seem
to be chowing down on a Whopper
at the same time these folks drive
by.
I've always wondered about the
general vegetarian mindset. Some
are animal rights folks who figure
the animals have probably been
mistreated and killed rather than
fed a healthy, fattening diet, allowed
to live a life of luxury in a
nice pasture somewhere, and then
killed.
When you consider the way the
cavemen did it, we're actually
pretty darn civilized. They would
round up the Thursday night hunting
and gathering gang, set fire to
a field and run a herd of buffalo
off a cliff. Then down in the ravinA

stack of dead beef and pick out
what he wanted. It was like shopping
day at Winn-Dixie.
Personally, I think our way is
the most efficient for the times,
since very few people would let
you run some cattle off their cliff,
and the herds of wild beef animals
are rare enough as it is. Plus, all

stinky after a while. Better to keep
it in the slaughter house than on
the floor of the Grand Canyon, I
always say.
Incidentally, for those of you
that hate me already, I don't eat
veal anymore. That's just too
much guilt for one self-respecting
carnivore to handle.
The other type of vegetarians
are the ones who are forsaking
meat for health reasons, which
may be more legit. Steak and hamburger
have been described by one
guy I know as "the ol' clothespin
on the aorta." That's a bit more
applicable than calling your favorite
omnivore a "flesh-eating animal
murderer who should be
taunted for all eternity by the spirits
of the dead animals he has consumed".
Don't you agree?
Of course, vegetarianism isn't
always a reflection on a person's
attitudes otherwise. One of my
best friends is a vegetarian who
occasionally eats some seafood or
chicken, and she's an extremely
hip and keen person with a lot of
other admirable qualities.
There are folks who are out of
hand, though. Said girl works for a
professor who is a frugavore,
which means he only eats fruit.
I'm not sure if a "Thousand and
One Recipes for Kiwi Fruit" exists,
but if it does he's probably
got it. Of course this guy also lives
in downtown Washington, D.C.
and makes a practice of leaving his
door unlocked so if someone needs
some food and a place to crash,
they can just stroll right in and
make themselves at home.

When ISO and The Bobs wrap up their performance
Thursday night with "Chicken Shack
Rap," spectators may leave the Koger Center
for the Arts with their heads spinning.
Starting at 8 p.m., the modern dance group
ISO will hit the stage with its acrobatics and
wild, surreal sets as The Bobs tune in the audience
to their new flavor of music.

ISO's free-form dance creations have been a

U2, John Fogerty and Simply Red as well as
television commercials and fashion shows.
The unusual gymnastics and sets of ISO's
performances stem from the histories of its
four choreographers. While all were members

individual hobbies range from roller skating to
rock climbing and guitar building.
In previous concerts, the choreographers
used giant rubber bands and Venetian blinds to
produce visual effects.
While ISO's huge rubber bands, Velcro,
flashy costumes and swings make the stage
come alive, it's their dancing that holds the
audience.

"It's the most imaginative dance I've ever
seen ? their technique is amazing," Koger
Center Director Ron Pearson said.
Pearson, who saw the two groups in one of
their sold-out performances at last summer's
Spoleto festival in Charleston, said he was
blown away by the groups and would do anything
he could to get them here.
"ISO and the Bobs weren't planning to do
another concert together until the 1990-91
tour, and I didn't want to wait until then to
bring them here," he said.

The four singers, Matthew "BOB" Stull, Janie
"BOB" Scott, Richard "BOB" Greene, and
Gunnar "BOB" Madsen, have performed classics
by David Byrne, John Lennon, Paul
McCartney and Philip Glass, but their Koger
Center performance consists of original songs
like "My Husband Was a Weather Man,"
"My, I'm Large," "Psycho Killer," and the
"Seawater Tango."
"If I could make a director's choice about
the one thing to see this season, it would be
ISO and The Bobs," Pearson concluded.
Tickets are available through Thursday at
the Carolina Coliseum box office from 9 a.m.
to 6 p.m. and will be $10 for students and $14
for the public.
