so far the record for RM is one.

 

[MTB_Rob_NC]

The folks just getting up arent gonna get this

 

[Westy]

Probably 0 here. I have never been in a "real" fight. Have thrown down with my brother and friends but never in true anger.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

All of them, they'd be too busy protesting.

 

[dan-o]

It all depends on how many approach me looking for Miracles or hawking Kind Veggie burritos.

 

[jon cross]

3 sober ones, 5 high.

 

[I Are Baboon]

I think it depends on the hippie. Charlie Manson's followers were hippies and I probably wouldn't do too good against one of them.

 

[binary visions]

Admiral: "The hippie fantasy again?"

L.T. Smash: "They're getting less frequent, sir."

Admiral: "Excellent."

 

[SkaredShtles]

3 sober ones, 5 high.

I think if they're high, I could take on 15.......

Of course, with my hair, I *look* suspiciously like a hippy, so the element of surprise would definitely be on my side.

-S.S.-

 

[-dustin]

i don't think they'd fight if they were high. unless you shattered their bong, which they probably collectively chipped in for, instead of paying rent or something.

 

[LordOpie]

72 Hippie Chicks... after they shower. Shaving optional.

 

[Leethal]

done it at a co-op party in berkeley. Me - sober, 4 of them - drunk. It was quickly and handily dealt with. I could probably take on 5-6 before they over powered me. However, you need to remember 2 things: Hippies are weak and hippies aren't fighters.

Any red blooded american who played football, water polo, wrestled, or even baseball should be able to whoop ass on a hippie. Hippies are the real world equivilent of "the flood" in Halo. It hurts like a bitch when they get a blow in, but once you hit them, they fall apart.

Water polo players are tough!!!

 

[Morryjg]

All of them, just as long as they are all passivists.

 

[Enginerd A2]

I'm a 6'2, 165 lb bespectacled dude with hippy ideals... Can you hit a skinny hippy with glasses? Come and get it, you wusses! I'll beat all y'all down with my fair trade organically grown renewable resource bamboo whoopin' stick! I won't be stoned either, I'll be hopped up on tons of fair trade organic coffee with soy milk and organic clover honey!

 

[DRB]

I think ya'll are underestimating the power of the hippy stench. In enclosed space, body odor and pachouly works better than sarin gas.

 

[SkaredShtles]

WTF are you doing in Michigan, then?

Ahh..... *now* I see why you like Ann Arbor. It's the only *officially* hippie-safe zone in that God-forsaken state.

-S.S.-

Combined that with the fact that all the hackey sack makes them wiry, so they can be a little tough to catch. Those two things are why they are still around to this day.
I have extensive hippie combat training if anyone needs any tips. Here is an example:
Tip 1: It is best to attack when they are sitting a circle playing some sort of lame accoustic instrument. Smoky air will make a stealth strike almost a sure thing.

I use the terms "hippy ideals" fairly loosely, but yeah, Ann Arbor is THE oasis of liberal thought in Michigan, with a few small others. You know of any decent jobs in your neck of the woods? I'd be happy to send you my resume. I'm ready to leave MI, but I don't want to do it without a job that I can actually support myself at. No crawling back to my parents house in six months without a dime to my name. I may have some hippy ideals, but I'm not planning on getting any social security when I retire, so I gotta make enough $ to put some away. And living off the land is definitely out.

 

[Enginerd A2]

Hippies are fun to tease, but y'all can't actually HATE them, can you? They're harmless, B.O. nonwithstanding.

Only the college know it all Hippies. They are the worst kind.

 

[Enginerd A2]

That was a classic episode.

 

[Enginerd A2]

move to berkeley. your last statement will be negated.

Don't think I don't know hippies, holmes, Ann Arbor is the home of the Hash Bash: www.hashbash.com

And for the record, I'm not actually a hippy.

Edit: It appears hippies are drawn to the campuses of prominet liberal universities.

 

[dexter]

i love this hippie at my school, he begs on the street trying to raise money to eat and save patte canyon from cyanide leakage (good cause though sick fishing) then he hops into his bmw x5 and drives off. all the hippies think they know everything and sit in front of my dorm 7 days a week untill 5 in the morning smoking cig's sand throwing them on the ground, singing ****ty songs, playing hackey sack and the like. i hate hippies

Plus they are exceptionally shifty from the hippie jigging they do.

BWAAHHHHH!

Coffee...out...of....nose.....

Thank you, Dick Dickhead for making me squirt coffe on my desk. OUCH.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Real hippies

modern day hippie w/hippie dog

Hippies singing about closing MTB trails

And this is the common house hippie.

I HATE HIPPIES!!!!!

 

[Fathead]

Yah, you're untouchable after drinking that. . . who could kick yer ass when it's glued to the toilet?

Uh, that comes later. Hippies are very regular.

Dude - you're too young to worry about that $hit. Send me your resume. What kind of jobs do you do?

I moved out to Colorado in '93 fresh out of college with no job. It's cheap living out here when you find a roommate. Do whatever. Live. It's the mountains, after all.

-S.S.-

 

[CoMo]

so far the record for RM is one.

Do they have long hair or shaved heads?

I think you may be in the minority of those who made the move and made it work. I think everyone knows someone who made a similar move, only to move back home a year or two later, flat broke. I have a mechanical engineering degree, though, so I'd like to think I'm pretty employable. I don't necessarily need to find a engineering job, though.

That's their own fault. You have to *want* to make it work. Live simply. Be happy with a lower standard of living than you're used to. Drink good beer. *Ride* bikes, don't screw around with having the latest, greatest bike.

Hell, I hardly worked the first 5 years I lived in CO. I took road trips, hiked the Colorado Trail, and generally f*#ked around alot. It was a blast! I had a bit of good fortune here and there along the way, but who doesn't?

I even learned to ski after I moved out here. And now I'm hopelessly addicted to skiing powder.

If you really want to do it, just do it. I guarantee whatever happens that you won't be sitting around 10 years from now saying "Yeah - I sure am glad I didn't do that thing that I really wanted to do but was afraid to......"

For someone who dislikes TX so, you sound an awful lot like an Austinite (just swap out "CO" for "Austin", and "ski" for "play in a band" or "protest"). Sure you're not a hippie?

I HATE HIPPIES!!!!!

you just haven't met the right ones. say hello to makoto and friends, the acid mothers temple collective:

Right on! More like an Austinite who grew up and moved to Round Rock

I just picked up an old .22 by Savage/Stevens. . . sucker must be at least 50yrs old. It eats paper like a swarm of termites.

 

[SkaredShtles]

I've been to Austin. I've also been told by Texans that Austin is the best part of Texas.

If that's the best, you guys are f#*ked.
