It's because barbeques rock and rabbit food sucks.

It's not a joke, it's the truth in chant; I wouldn't go to a barbecue that
would only have salad, and I certainly wouldn't be friends of the people
hosting it.

It also has the *exact same* music as:
"I am evil Homer,
I am evil Homer",
etc.

The reason its funny is because it implies that you _do_ win friends with meat.
Everyone knows that friendship is to be earned and not "won."

Its also funny because its true.

So why don't you win friends with salad? How can you? If you're meeting
someone for the first time, you don't win their friendship with salad. If you
are going on a date, you don't give him or her a box of salad. If you are
babysitting kids for the first time, you don't feed them salad for dinner.
Gazpacho, on the other hand....

mmmm... ice-cold tomato soup....

I HATE that repitition of that crap. I WISH to God they would edit that scene
OUT. It just goes on and on and on. Enough to make me want to become a
vegetarian..

He's hosting the barbeque to become more popular. He's saying he won't gain any
popularity by hosing a salad bar.

In a move that shocked the nation, winn...@aol.com (Winny989) leaked this to
the press early yesterday morning:

No, you've got it all wrong. It's funny 'cause they start a conga line.
Try not to read into stuff too much.

Well, IMO, this was a strict discouragement for Lisa to stop being a vegitarian.

I think Marge said it best at the conclusion of some episode, "it's just
a bunch of stuff that happened" or was it Homer that said that, and
Marge that said, "it's an ending that's good enough" ugh.. I'm horrible
at quoting stuff.

seeing this thread made me have to share this stupid little story. recently
while dining at a lone star steakhouse, a bunch of unruly drunks started a
conga line singing, "you dont win friends with salad." it was great.
