Speaking of hippies
« on: August 26, 2014, 08:43:48 PM »
I used to ride with a helicopter pilot that attended this "event" every year. And yes, he was kind of odd.

I guess it sucks to be a hippie. ::laughonfloor::

Now if only you could construct a sort of Roach Motel...
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

Hehe.

My hippie brother goes to a "festival" every year that is centered around the didjeridoo - an Australian aboriginal droning tubular resonating instrument that brings them all into alignment with the spirit world.

The fest is called "Indijinus". Get it? "Indiginous" and "In Didj In Us". You HAVE to be stoned to think of the most clever things in the whole wide wonderous world.

He and his wife blew off two days of a family reunion centered around my mom and dad's 50th because it conflicted with the didj-fest, and ya know, the people at the didj-fest are their family too, so who are we to judge.

I wouldn't actually care if a subculture of people wants to indulge these fantasies if they were actually true to this phony premise they put out about themselves, you know, carefree and tolerant. But as we've discussed numerous times, "live and let live" is a concept alien to these people who are inaptly labeled "liberals".

The whole hippie movement of the 60s and 70s, so centered around opposition to The Man, could be summarized much more succinctly as "we don't want to destroy The Man, we want to become The Man". And what do you know, they have.

Looks like a successful Thanksgiving dinner. Except it's not in the living room.

My brother used to hang out with some draft dodger commune living hippies in the early 70's he still gags about going these and setting up their chain saws so as they could cut their winters wood, the fed him supper and one of the rather large ladies, told him the bread was made out of her tit milk,,, I still am able to get him away from the table gagging with that reminder.

Is the guy, back and center, preparing more kool-aid?  The first batch looks like it did the job.

There's three of them doing the same thing, left, right, and center. Little table draped with a blankie, with a white bowl on top. Guess I'll have to ask my brother.
