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...

I've been trying to grow a variety of herbs but my garden is full of just one plant -- it's proof that you just can't fight the established mint.

PS. Did you know that W. Bennet and Janis went on a blind date, once? Apparently, she was "hot for teacher".

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 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.

Yeah, Dag, be careful. If you strip that screw with the screw driver, it'll end up with a dead head.

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.

When you have something heavy to carry, you're faced with a hard moral choice: lug it or leave it?

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."

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"

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.

Woodstock was inspiration for many would be concert goers. One promoter was heard to exclaim, "Hells Angels Altamont a concert featuring the Stones!"

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.)

Now when he needs something from the club, he has a buddy get it for him - it doesn't take much effort. He buys with a little help from his friend.

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.

Leave it to San Fancisco to be host to a deli for crazy folks. The Haight Ashbury district apparently has a new food establishment called The Psychodeli Experience.

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.
