:thumbsdown:

[asthmaticeog]

1. Far out, maaaaan.

[tigereye]

3. huh

that's what you could have looked like, Asth, if you were born somewhat earlier!

Actually, my husband's hair looked almost like that at one time.

[asthmaticeog]

6. Uh, Tige?

That IS me.

[terrya]

9. In the immortal words of Jack McFarland: "Oh. My. God."

Holy cow, that IS you, isn't it?

[asthmaticeog]

40. Yep.

A few years before I was born, I had a brief career in modeling for stock photography. :crazy:

[tigereye]

18. I thought it looked like you!

hey you were a cutie! Whoops.

[terrya]

32. No....I agree.

And saying that will probably kill off any chance of him coming down for another meetup. Me and my big mouth....

:hi:

[tigereye]

69. you are so funny Terry!

;)

How are ya, sweetie? Haven't seen much of you of late.

[StopTheMorans]

5. where's my Lysol?

[Jara sang]

7. nevermind

:o

[StopTheMorans]

8. .

*ducks* :nuke:

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

17. That looks like a lot of AquaNet

It was YOU who put the hole in the ozone layer!

[asthmaticeog]

35. Well how else

was I supposed to fuck the ozone layer? Free love is free love, dammit!

[johnnie]

49. You fucked the ozone layer.?

:wow:
I didn't know you were *that* desperate.

[asthmaticeog]

63. Desperate? Nah, maaaan, it was beeeaaaauuuutiful!

That's oneness with the universe, right there, man! Keep on truckin'!

[tigereye]

70. I'm guessing that was high school-

am I right?

Seriously. Your hair looks red, or is it the psychedelic effects? :)

[JimmyJazz]

62. That's a really good picture of you!

:P

[johnnie]

2. What's wrong with us?

:shrug:

[StopTheMorans]

4. besides the smell, hygienic issues, lack of motivation, and horrible

music :shrug:

[XNASA]

10. Johnnie does not smell bad.

At least not for somebody from Ohio.

[StopTheMorans]

11. i was referencing hippies in general, not Johnnie specifically

although, being from Ohio, one can never be too certain re: smell :evilgrin:

[johnnie]

25. Not just from Ohio mind you

But right up here by the beautiful banks of the crystal clear waters of Lake Erie.

[StopTheMorans]

31. im actually from the shores of lake erie myself

the 2nd to last NY exit in western new york (about 60 miles from the ohio border), although i've lived in boston for the past 4 years :hi:

[johnnie]

50. There ya go.

:hi:

This thread is cracking me up btw.

[johnnie]

21. Why thank you sir

Although after a binge consisting of too many Buds, I bet I don't smell like a carnival french fry stand. Or the cotton candy stand, those smell pretty good also.

[hfojvt]

20. I suppose your average rupuke

in his suit, showering daily, clean shaven, wearing his expensive cologne, and determined to climb up the corporate ladder no matter what it takes is a better role model? Hippies got soul!

What do you mean by horrible music? Are you talking about Jefferson Airplane? Hendrix? The Doors? or just The Dead?

[StopTheMorans]

24. hippies act like they have, but do not actually possess, soul

hippies don't present even a positive role model for algae; at least algae has the inclination to form colonies that last. re: music: the dead, phish, any band where the "songs" last more than 20 minutes, and are enjoyed primarily (note the qualifier) by individuals who currently are (or at one point were) heavily into some form of mind-altering drug...

[hfojvt]

37. many hippies tried to form anarchist colonies

but people wouldn't follow the rules.
You are using a pretty narrow definition of hippy.
The movement was pretty large and inclusive and certainly better than its backlash. As well as helping to end a war.

[StopTheMorans]

38. hence my phrase "colonies that last"

and, in all honesty, i'm mostly referring to those who continue to self-identify as "hippies" today, and who came of age after that period.

[asthmaticeog]

42. Hear hear!

Building a lifestyle around wallowing in someone else's nostalgia is pathetic - and that goes equally for 14-year-olds today who dress like '77 London punks.

[GreenPartyVoter]

53. Everything that comes around goes around. And as long as they

are sincere in what they are doing and aren't just being poseurs like certain ebonic speaking white youth of today, then I say what's it hurting?

[tigereye]

71. guess what I just bought at K-mart!

a Sex Pistols shirt, no doubt aimed at that very same demo. I, of course, bought it only to enhance my great sense of old school punk and economic irony.

[Pystoff]

51. When I think hippie

One example comes to mind...Dirty Hippie from Futurama.

Saw the movie version of Hair recently...hate those hippies

Saw Alice's Resturaunt as well...kinda liked those hippies they had a groove and didn't smell like BO.

[4_Legs_Good]

61. There's a universe inside all of us!

Right on Professor Freaksworth!

david

[dbonds]

76. My favorite hippies

Watch Billy Jack movies.

[Pystoff]

77. Hell yeah

Now Billy Jack was a badass hippie kinda like Clint Eastwood if he were a hippie hehe.

[Love Bug]

59. I always thought hippies smelled like patchouli!

Far out!

[stlsaxman]

73. Were you there? Did you "smell" them? Did you witness their "laziness"

for yourself?

Sounds like you bought into the fear-mongers propoganda. America was in up-heaval because it NEEDED TO BE! Much like modern times. The "Establishment Spin Machine" is still in high gear. Has been the whole time.

If you HAD been there you'd realise that WE had something they didn't- FREEDOM. And it scared the hell out of them.

In the words of David Crosby from "Wooden Ships"- "We are leaving... you don't need us."

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Are you kidding? hippies are boss!

:hippie:

[StopTheMorans]

13. i think you misspelled "gross"

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. There are worse things to be than a hippy.. like

a neocon, or a moran, or Tom Cruise, or James Dobson.

[StopTheMorans]

15. well, hippies are the lowest form of leftist; how's that?

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. Lower than communists? Or at the same level?

[StopTheMorans]

19. much lower; at least communists are the party of workers

hippies are the party of moochers :thumbsdown:

[redqueen]

22. At least they cared about war.

Teenagers today are mostly like frogs in boiling water. "We got it easy here, man!"

:eyes:

:puke:

[StopTheMorans]

27. i marched against the current war in a shirt and tie

bad hygiene does not a person of good consciensce person make...

[redqueen]

29. That's all well and good.

However most youths don't.

Wait... you're not even a youth anymore, fogie! :P

[StopTheMorans]

33. damn it

:cry: but i was 23 then; isn't that young enough :shrug:

[redqueen]

44. Eh....

I suppose it's closer to 20 than 30...





























fogie.

[tigereye]

72. uh they didn't all smell bad

and they did do a lot of very cool stuff politically and otherwise. I prefer the Beats, myself, but the "hippie" crowd changed a lot of things in our culture.

But you're just riding down flamewar street, anyway, STM. ;)

[intheflow]

23. .

self-delete

[Texasgal]

26. Hippies

[StopTheMorans]

28. .

:thumbsup: :patriot:

[mark11727]

30. Dave's not here, man...

[KG]

34. this thread sucks

[StopTheMorans]

36. get a job

[In_The_Wind]

39. EXCUSE me StopTheMorans

[StopTheMorans]

43. excuse me Joan Alpern

hippies had their day; I'd like to enjoy my airspace unfettered by the unseemly emissions of the hippie kind...

[In_The_Wind]

45. But do YOU really think it's fair to judge all Hippies by the actions

of a few.

I believe that we 'the hippies' of the world are more willing than most to work together for a compromise ... for the good of all concerned.

Are you having a problem with one person or family? I don't know if I understand your what's wrong. Please explain ~

[StopTheMorans]

46. i don't like hippies

:thumbsup:

[In_The_Wind]

47. so ... are you saying that you don't like me

[StopTheMorans]

48. are you a hippie?

and, if so, are you a leftover from the 60's? if so, i'll grant you immunity.

[In_The_Wind]

54. I graduated high school in 1966

I lived alone and completed a college education ... again by myself.


I ask no ones approval or immunity for who I have become. I was an only child, my values were developed alone as my parents were on their own trip which didn't include any guidance for one lonely little girl. I pretty pleased with what I've accomplished before I took time off from the world.



But you still haven't answered my question about 'what is troubling you ?'.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

41. what's wrong with hippies?

:shrug:

[Amaya]

52. Don't be such a twit...

you love hippie sex :)

btw, :hi:

[StopTheMorans]

64. damn

:loveya: you're not a real hippie; i couldn't smell you from across the room :P

[Blue-Jay]

55. STM's Gram & Gramps.

[StopTheMorans]

65. you've found me out

:cry:

[AllieB]

56. Patchouli should be illegal

that has to be the WORST cologne ever invented. It smells like a gym locker.

[GreenPartyVoter]

57. I like it myself. It's comforting to me. Smells like a lot of people I luv

[StopTheMorans]

66. although it does provide a quick litmus test for people you should

never spend time with :thumbsup:

[Old_Fart]

58. Are you prejudice?

:thumbsup:

[AllieB]

60. I think StopTheMorans meant it as a joke, don't you?

That's the way I took it.

[StopTheMorans]

67. i don't know; i'm not that intelligented

[Blue-Jay]

68. !

:rofl:

[hippiechick]

74. WTF-ever dude ...

YOUR LOSS. :P

[Dastard Stepchild]

75. Does wearing perfume oil make me a hippie?

It's not patchouli. It's myrrh. Oh dear..... that counts, doesn't it?
Does it help that I wear it because I am allergic to synthetic musk oil, which is found in almost all perfumes?

:scared:

[elshiva]

78. ....

:O
