Here's something from the old forums which I saved for my files and decided to bring back! (And BTW, kudos to Jeff Foxworthy). YOU MIGHT BE A HIPPIE IF… If you live in a dingy old apartment with bricks and boards for furniture, drive a beat up rusty old car or van and own a $3,000 stereo If you have ever woken up in the middle of some forest wearing nothing but a headband AND you weren't drinking the night before If breaking up with your girlfriend leaves you homeless If you know what bong water tastes like If you carry a picture of Gandhi in your wallet If you’re named after some kind of flower or plant If you grow a beard because you're tired of being mistaken for a woman If you trespass onto private property to pick flowers. If you went to a concert the day before and cannot remember what songs were played or even who was headlining--but still insist it was "great" If you have ever been seen naked by more than 50 people and you weren't the person who was embarassed If you think that Janis Joplin or Grace Slick were hot back in the day If you talk to flowers and trees when you’re sober If you're at a funeral and you light a joint after the eulogy If…oh dammit what was I talking about? If you've ever forgotten to show up at your own party If you can fall asleep in the mud under the rain If you have pets named after the Chicago Seven If you own a small business and are closed on April 20th to observe the holiday If you object to being labeled a hippie
Yeah, I'm 54 and with my first steady job in '73 i purchased a pair of JBL 4310 room monitors and a gutsy onkyo amp. didn't have a stick of good furniture. However the furniture I did get came and went, and the speakers stayed. Now if I could just get my ex to give me one of my houses back.....
Hmm, I have never grown a beard to avoid being mistaken for a womyn. (Although my dh used to suggest I shave my legs only to prevent my being mistaken for a lesbian. I didn't. Nor did I care.)
My Dad did that too those speakers are older than me and still working fine. He's not hippy though. I said yes to a few of those too. I love the name one, may I expand on it.... If such a plant can get you high (as sage leaves apparently can) If your name appears on the hippy names list (on this site) You have named a child/animal/plant anything from said list. Half marks if you plan to.
Yeah... my dad bought a pair of these huge JBL speakers back in the 70s when he lived in Alaska and he gave them to me.
You might be a hippy if... You yell, scream and cheer every time lightning strikes. Soy products make up over 50% of your diet. Good 'ol boys stare you down as you walk down the street.
i heard a really mean joke..haha but you cant help but to laugh: how many deadheads does it take to screw in a light bulb? none they wait for it to burn out and then follow it around for 20 years....haha its so bad..peace and love
OR how many deadheads does it take to screw in the light bulb? Two. one to notice and then the other to take bong hits until the room spins..haha
I answered yes to about half of your list, which confirms my hunch that I'm about half hippie...having the damnedest time figuring out what the other half is
