Misc 174 Reasons Why I Hate Hippies.

Posted by Erik Henriksen on Tue, Jan 23 at 9:01 AM

Often, my more tolerant friends will ask me: “Erik, why do you loathe hippies so? Why must you constantly launch invective-filled diatribes about them, seemingly at random?” Usually, I answer this question by accusing them of being hippies, a tactic which is usually followed by me never talking to them again, then launching invective-filled diatribes about them behind their backs.

This response to the hippies’ question is flawed, I know—but it is because it’s hard to sum up why I hate hippies so very, very much. But now I have an answer. Actually, I have 174 of them.

If you think that's a picture of a hippie, you need to get out more.

Go hang out at Saturday Market, or Reed College.

That was awesome. Though Pagent has a point. Most burners are just professionals and a bunch of wanna-be's.

Pagent--or shall I call you "Summer Solstice Parade"?--your narrow definition of what is and what is not a hippie clearly brands you as one of them, though perhaps not one of the dreadlock-sporting, patchouli-reeking sort. Begone.

Hating hippies is a tired cliche. It is also extremely pre-9/11.

Hating hippies is okay. Alright? Go thou forth...

Yeah, it's definitely okay. Do it!

Meesa think themsa badsa peeeoples. Meesa say hippies worse'n Storm Troopers. I'sa scaredsa

Erik - it's true. I've been repressing my inner hippie all my life. I even have several (gasp) tie-dyed shirts in my dresser. Sob!

What part of "begone" do you dirtfeet not understand?

I thought everyone was supposed to be naked at Burning Man. The only hippies I can tolerate are naked hippies.

Next thing I know you'll be hating on vegans.

Hippies are gay.

Don't let ANY of those hippies get naked. I will kill myself

Real hippies can't afford Burning Man.

I'm drowning in a soy milk river. You throw me a lifevest, You haul me ashore. Coughing, sputtering, I gasp: Fucking hippies.
