It's puns to make Elizabeth be happy again. The subject is folk music, hippies, flower power, and hemp, and counter-culture slang. Or, whatever, man. It's cool. Ya dig?
So, like, when life hands you lemons, throw those sour ass things at a guy in a business suit.
Which reminds me of the first time someone read the lyrics to a folk song out loud in class. It was like someone looking for plumbing supplies -- Where have all the flow-ers gone?
I nearly gagged yesterday to hear a venerable folk tune turned into an ad for home loans: This lend is your lend...
Arlo can you go?
Wood he?
Close, but no Seegar.
I've said my peace.

Folk music is great, even if it is mostly my parent's fave, too. You know, the mamas and the papas really dig the Mamas and the Papas. But sometimes they make me turn off the stereo so they can hear the sounds of silence.
One of my friends, the boxer, is a fabulous cook. He makes chicken with parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. After he retired from the ring, he started working in a lumberyard. He keeps track of the wood stock.
One of my favorite singers is Bing Crosby. I heard he was an alcoholic and liked to visit stills. The thought makes me gnash my teeth - he was so good when he was young.
This thread is a good idea. We should dress up for it. We could wear pink Boaz, put on our boots made for walkin', and head out on the highway.

I've always liked folk music, but then it was the music of choice for my parents when I was growing up, so I'm probably Baezed.

I was installing a bookshelf and the screwdriver slipped and made a long, shallow trench in the wood. I was worried, but it turned out to be just groovy.
I was going to try LSD but I'm a little Leary of it.

be careful, Dag, you don't want to end up Dead!
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
Somehow, Dag, I'd expected your wit in this thread to be more acid-tongued.
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black, I don't know what is.
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
Yeah, Dag, be careful. If you strip that screw with the screw driver, it'll end up with a dead head.
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
We need to weed out some of these bad puns.
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
And that screwdriver wouldn't have slipped, if you hadn't had the Bad Trip, man.
Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :
Somehow I thought weed do better than this by now. I thought we were ganja really toke off with the puns. I'll have to dig around and see where I might have a stash of old terminology lying around. Then we can all hash it around for a bit.

It was a good thing the scratch was in the middle of a board, and not in a joint. That would blow.

Just because Starchild was a vegan, it didn't mean her baby felt the same way about vegetables. Starchild would sit there, hour after hour, as the baby spit out her strained vegetables.
Pleading didn't work either. Starchild would look at the babe and say: "C'mon babe, all I am saying is give peas a chance."

We really need someone to ride in here on a white horse and save us from all these terrible puns.

I think Ms. Calene rides a white horse, Noemon. She has to pay Oatie first, though, before she makes the trip.

There is a new way of travelling to music festivals. You get this rv, and a car goes along the side of it. They call it the R.V. Shank Car.

Lord of the Rings was pretty big in the hippy sixties.
Which reminds me, I was quite upset that the movie left out a well remembered scene. Sauramon was argueing with Sauron about the possibility of Eagles helping the Men. He suggested creating some killer Doves.
Alas, Sauron refused to listen to the Protest Chant, "Make Doves, Not Wargs"

I'm not exactly unbaezed when it comes to folkies. I remember concerts sitting under the old ochs tree. Fond memories of when dyland was fresh and free...

Then there was that time we were in the country, Joe, and the fishin' was great. When somebody caught something, we'd give a fish cheer. Later, we were fixin' to dye rags to hang out on our trailers. We did it to stop the drafts.

I knew an old hippie that made it clear in his will that he wasn't to be cremated. His words were something like, "I Hate Ash Bury me instead."

Did you hear about police Sargent who got upset with one of those early dating services. He made a bomb out of pepper spray and set it off in their building. They kicked him out of their organization.
The news headline ran:
Sergeant pepper's "Lonely Hearts Club"--Banned.
(Don't worry, there were no real casualties, but their mascot, a female sheep named after a local Native American tribe, seemed to like the explosion. Yeah, I Hopi, Ewe, enjoyed the show.)

The speaker at the anti-war rally was hot! He really knew how to get people riled up. As he recounted one injustice after another the crowd got more and more worked up.
I don't think I've ever seen a more peaced off bunch of people in my life.

I had read somewhere that the Electric KoolAid Acid was first more like a gelatinous goo. They had to make it in a special room called they referred to as the Psychedelic Mush Room.
