You Know You're a Hippie If...

(To be read in an Indian accent):

You maybe a hippy if you are an American, but have no idea who Obama is, but you pride yourself in being an expert in the intrigue and recent history of the Royal Family in Kathmandu.

 

Some more----dedicated to our friends who still don't know what a laptop is:

You may be a hippy if your drugs just ran out and you find yourself wandering around in a strange place asking strangers who don't speak your language, "Have you seen my friend Dr. Alpert? He brought me here... he's got all the tickets and passports. Have you seen him? He's got a black beard. I thought he was here... anyone? ...Dr. Alpert?

You maybe a hippy if every now and then you come down long enough to realize the Himalayas aint in America ("Is there like an embassy around here somewhere....? Ahh screw it).

You may be a hippy if you are not sure if you could make a connection in the US anymore, but you have no problem buying drugs in Hindi, Nepali, Bengali, Tibetan, or Urdu.

 

You may be a Hippy if you know who Jack Flanders is!

 

You may be a hippy if you live in a tent down by the local river.

 

Or live in a van down by the river, especially if it’s White River although the Wabash will do.

 

You may be a hippy if you, 'are down by the corner, out in the street...'

 

You may be a hippy if you love nature and all its works and honor it as you would honor yourself.

 

But only if you can tap your feet!

 

You may be a hippy if you've actually hugged a tree!

 

Older Water Brother says, Hey! That's serious stuff-----there's other forums for you buddy!!!!

----just kidding!!!!!----just being a Merry Prankster.


You may be a hippy if you ever got stoned in a dark room with Ravi Shankar playing loudly on the phonograph.

And about my earlier post---wouldn't that be funny if there was some hippy wandering around India, lost, looking for his buddy Dr. Alpert who apparently abandoned him years ago when Alpert went off on his own spiritual trip----with all the tickets and passports.

What would he say to this guy----"Wow, man---sorry. What can I say, uh, Be here now, man."

 

You may be a hippy if you ever got stoned in a dark room with Frank Zappa playing loudly on the phonograph, for that matter, You may be a hippy if you ever got stoned in a dark room with anything playing loudly on the phonograph.

 

You mean there is a new way to listen to music? Something that won't scratch or warp?

Cool!!!!

 

You may be a Hippy if you were ever middle man in the pipe pass or even knows what that means!

 

You may be a hippy is you accidentally get subway sandwich in your hair because its too long.

 

You may be a Hippy if you actually took the time to read all these to see if any didn't apply to you.

 

wtf is a phonograph....lol

 

does a phonograph have something to do with math :tongue:

 

You young whipper snappers. :rofl:

 

... if you make your friends pick up their litter and recycle or trash it.

 

I asked my son-in-law if he knew what a phonograph was-----he's in his 20's and did not. (He asked if it had something to do with exercise). Heck----I even know what a gramophone is----and that wasn't exactly around when even the oldest of hippies were kids.

A phonograph is a record player.

A record was a black flat disk shaped object and when you placed it on a record player it would not only play music, but money would fall from the sky, and you would be able to shape reality in whatever way you wished it. Yes it was magic, and today the world is all messed up because noone plays records anymore. It would also produce a spontaneous orgasm to anyone who stood within 5' of one. Yes, those were the days---but they are all gone now, and you younger kids will never get to experience that...
