the Onion isn't funny.
no matter how many times I've read it It's just is lame.

there hasn't been a Hippie since the Lude was introduced. Hippies
disappeared in the early 70s repl;aced by druggies.
Hippie isn't just wearing long hair and smoking pot, and today's
psuedo-hippies are trendoids who think hippie is a fashion and not a
lifestyle.

Actually, hippies died in October 1967 when there was a funeral march
down Haight St. . .

We became "freeks" after that. . .

You Might Be A Hippie If ...

You child is named after a celestial object.

Answering "what's your favorite Dead song?" takes five
minutes.

You're always getting pulled over and searched , and you're white.

There's people you consider family and you don't know their last
name.

If you’re named after some kind of flower or plant

Half your funiture is bean bags. (And, the bookcases are cinder
blocks, and the coffe table is a cable spool.)

Out of habit, you pass your cigarette to whoever’s sitting next to
you.

You're still waiting for those flashbacks.

LOL...I checked 6 out of eight and only missed the ones about names. I
have updated my furniture though. Do I pass?

That's too bad, 'cause The Phish are about music not about a skeezy
fan.

"The Onion" is intelligent humor Ray, I-N-T-E-L-L-I-G-E-N-T.

My oldest's middle name is Sunshine. The others have more traditional
middle names. And first names, for that matter!

At the very least!

Uh - nope, not me. I am white, but have only ever been pulled over for
speeding. (Lead foot)

Many! I didn't know my best friend's last name for the first 8 yrs or
so - it just never came up.

How about alcohol? <g>

Nope, no bean bags. Can't get up out of them any more! Bookcases are
built-in wood for the most part, though we used to have milk crates and
boards. No coffee table - too many kids, dogs and toys, and not enough
space!

Don't smoke cigarettes, but the habit applies.

Has anyone ever really had one? I tripped a fair bit in my day, and
have yet to ever experience a flashback or anything even remotely like
one. Like those mysterious "drug pushers" they were always telling us
about - I've yet to meet one. Sure, folks offer to share, but I have
never had anyone ever "push" anything on me or force me in any way.

Oh wait - this is being graded?! I didn't know there was going to be a
test today!

Obviously you haven't tripped enough. My advice, if at first you don't
succeed in having a flashback try, try again and again and again... It
hasn't worked for me yet but what the heck!?!

I definitely have done it MANY times, and I have never had one. I feel
ripped off.

Unlike just about everything else, ACID was better in the SIXTIES.
