"HIPPY"
Well that's the latest utterance from a car window today .

Two days ago it was a "Fuck You "

They just holler as they drive by :eyes:

Seem to be getting more frequent as their boy king
stumbles ...Ha ha ...

Why would anyone think yelling "HIPPY" would be insulting?
:shrug:

7. yeah. It's become a bit mainstream though -
I heard a commercial today in which and husband and wife were trying to get rid of junk in their apt. He had some kind of velvet painting and she wanted to get rid of it. He said, "Yeah, but it's art." and she replied, "Sure it is. If you're a HIPPY."

Were black velvet paintings a hippy thing?

11. that's what I thought. I guess "Hippy" is the new word for "white trash"
in some circles.

28. They are thinking of day-glo posters that had black backgrounds
You turn on your black lights, pop the Iron Butterfly cassette in the 8-track, light a doob, and you're good to go!

5. My House and Front Yard
Edited on Tue Aug-05-03 01:08 AM by proud patriot
Let's see I have old glory waving above an "Impeach Bush" Sign
It couldn't be my Yellow Ribbons or My "Support Our Troops" Sign
But possibly My "Bring Them Home" sign.

These signs are pretty Big made of wood on stakes .

I did just add a few new window signs
on my car . I might well share what's on my
car too.

Question W
I Think therefore I don't listen to Rush limbaugh
Patriots Support Troops Not Bush
Support Bush Get Bloody Hands
WMD? Bush Lied Troops are Dying
Has anyone seen my Constitutional Rights?
Bipartinship: I'll hug your elephant if you kiss my ass
Democrats make better lovers who ever heard of a good piece
of elephant?
15,000,000 cuts to vets benefits is this how mr bush supports troops?

I think that's all of my car signs

:evilgrin: they don't call me
proud patriot for nothing ;-)

24. Democrats make better lovers...
who ever heard of a good piece of elephant?

Ha! I love it!

15,000,000 cuts to vets benefits is this how mr bush supports troops?

I assume this is a typo in the post, but the cuts total $1.5 billion, not $15 million... that's two orders of magnitude difference.

"It's morning in America...again" all golden and pastoral, soft morning sun-drenched ala that ole range riding sod buster, Ron Reagan, with a dusty little ole 'eat my dust' pickup truck bouncing off to The Bush Family Oligarchy Ranch in fucking Midland, TX? Puh-leese. Not these tired old rags too!?!

17. Well they are something
that's for sure .

It's a lot easier for me here in the Bay Area .

It really upsets me that there are places in my
beloved country where people are intimidated from
voicing their oppinion .

It's wrong wrong wrong IMHO

18. I'm very fortunate not to be like them too......
....I was taught that hatred at home....guess my *public* education paid off...and at least in my case the brainwashing didn't take affect....my high school mascot was and it still is Johnny Reb! The Mighty Rebels and they drive around with their Rebel flags outta their car windows and paint 'em all over town too...so I'm really thankful I don't think just like them:scared:

25. I'm with George Carlin on this one
Why do people think one of the nicest things in the world is an insult. Sex is one of our basic pleasures. So why is fuck such an insult. I think it should be a compliment we toss to those we love. Say you are finishing a phone call with you mom, "Hey mom, go get fucked".

26. I've been getting favorable responses
Then again, I live in liberal Massachusetts.

But, no kidding, at any given red light, the driver of the car behind me will look far down on my bumper to find the "Somewhere in Texas, a village is missing its idiot" sticker, and laugh like hell.

33. Mostly that's what I get too
Edited on Tue Aug-05-03 03:47 PM by proud patriot
Especially on the road .

I have neighbors who I've inspired to . I love my Neighbors .
One is Union 100% . One has a Picard Riker 2004 window sign.
Another has Support the troops bring them home bumpersticker
that he asked me to find for him ..He just came up to the house
and asked if I had any spare anti-war stuff ..

A gulfwar vet who lives down the street while on one
of his nightly walks told me he really liked my yard
peace and support the troops his words "most people
don't know the hell we go through"

27. i dunno,PP
but my SO and i get it all the time(our VW Bus might have a lot to do with that).

last year while traveling in PA we stopped to get gas and as these two rednecks were driving out of the gas station parking lot they yelled out the window, Get A Haircut Hippie.

we laughed hard over that one.

35. The irony there
Is that someone in PA, the Land Where The Mullet Is King, told you to get a haircut.

I should know, I'm in Pittsburgh and sometimes I feel like this city is just a giant video set for an 80s metal band.
