Well, I've spent too much time on it not to post the unabridged Ten Signs you are a Hippy diagnostic: 1. Similar to Pavlov's dog, have you been conditioned to sexual arousal by the mere smell of patchouli and/or sandalwood? 2. Does Chris Sharma 'speak your language'? 3. 'KGB', 'one hitter quitter', 'kind', 'buds', 'hippy lettuce', 'chronic', 'dank', 'wacky tabacky' ... ? 4. Do you harbor a grudge of such magnitude against corn syrup that it once precipitated a cleanup on aisle two? 5. Is "Into the Wild" the inspiration for your next trip? 6. Mescaline? Acid? Shrooms? 7. Do you own any t-shirts advocating somebody be freed, or, conversely, that something be stopped? 8. Is the term 'freegan' part of your daily parlance? 9. Do you often find yourself surrounded by hemp products in conjunction with mentally unstable gypsies wielding 'healing' crystals? 10. Do you often find yourself hating things and lifestyles you cannot afford as a convenient rationale for justifying the poverty of your existence? If you have answered 'yes' to more than half these questions, then you have have officially turned on, tuned in, and dropped out.

Caught myself waltzing into the trapps earlier this year, softshell on, starbucks in hand. I sighed, accepted it, and I've come here to admit my guilt. I'm a student though, so i yup it up on the weekdays when i won't get caught.

Even to one as young and dumb as I was then, there were certain uh.. qualities associated with a hippy lifestyle that were a turn-off. They do, as a general rule, have some good ideas about drug use though.

Came and went making room for the NextGen, XGen, etc., etc, ? Now in their mid to late 40's, yuppies just fall into the "Crusty Old Climber's" category, (you figure out the acronym). Now they can afford the brand new SUV, (or at least the lease payments on one). Their racks are an array of old and shiny new, because they can afford to replace their tattered and battered gear yet still hang on to some of their favorite old pieces. They can spring for a hotel rather then get chased out of the Wal-mart parking lot at 3AM. and are able to enjoy a glass of fine wine with dinner in the hotel restaurant after a grueling day of 5.9 trad climbing (now graded at 5.10b in the latest guide book) while swapping "remember when" hard-man stories.

No Way...you have to stay at the Mirror Lake Inn, or better yet, purchase a condo at Whiteface Lodge. More seriously...I'm old, so I can't be a yuppie. And I live in the 'burbs. But otherwise, I really like single malt scotch, and Belgian Trappist Ales, and American Microbrews, and I cut my lawn diagonally to piss off my neighbors. Can I still play?

The grandson you raise will only know his dad by the gifts he sends every several years: pooka beads, hemp crystal bags, and Jack Johnson mix-tapes. Hahahhaha That really made laugh... especially the end part. BUT... I have a girlfriend who I will marry some day and she is definitely NOT my girlfriend because I am poor. She fully expects me to get a real job someday. Either way.... I don't fuck random girls, especially rich ones... YOUR DAUGHTERS ARE SAFE! OH yea... its puka, not pooka. Crystal healing is bullshit, I've tried it. and Jack Johnson sucks. Speak for yourself. Hippy.
