My T-Shirt made a 21 year old girl cry!

[BlairH]

yuyuyuyuyuyuyu

[Typo Lad]

Dude, she wanted your body.

[borateen]

Yeah, you should've tapped that hippie ass.

[Lubichev]

Then she cried some more, sang me a song, and hugged me.
That is so sweet. Did she sing you Kumbiya? Or Truckin' by the Grateful Dead? One by Metallica?

[cactusmaac]

Underneath, I wore my "Peace through superior firepower" T-shirt, which features a B52 Flying Fortress strategic bomber with a red circle enclosing the shape of the aircraft making it look like some EVIL variant of the "peace" symbol.


Where can I get one of those?

[Shellhead]

I've got one t-shirt in my collection that provokes some interesting reactions. I had it customized by an airbrush artist at GenCon with this artwork:

http://vtes.pl/pics/ah/nakovaadvocateofgolconda.jpg

Below the picture, I had him write, "Dead Girls Don't Say No", as a sick joke about her being a slutty vampire.

Some people don't really look. Some people laugh or freak out a little. But the best is when a young woman slows down to really check it out, and I watch her face. Initially, her expression is like, wow, what a beautiful shirt, and then she reads the caption, and her look of admiration abruptly turns to revulsion. That moment of transition is interesting to me.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Dude, she wanted your body.

More likely she stuck some sort of tracking device on him, so the authorities know to come and take his guns and ammo away.

[Solaris]

While in many respects I agree with some of her sentiments... but people like Ghandi went into the "total peace" stance knowing full well everything that was involved. What irks me about opinions like hers is that they're ignorant. Basically, heart's in the right place, but rather than taking a real look at the world and that there's injustice out there, they are lazy: let's all hold hands and sing and think good vibes, and hope it goes away.

Better than being belligerent, but still... it's damned lazy, IMO.

[west3man]

Then she cried some more, sang me a song, and hugged me.That's hippy-ness in its purest form.

[BlairH]

Dude, she wanted your body.

I thought so too, but she was extremely drunk.

[Forefinger]

Yeah, you should've tapped that hippie ass.
I agree. Shoulda got some SPOON!

[Dennis K]

I thought so too, but she was extremely drunk.


Hence the reason she wanted it

[Flying_Postman]

Maybe she was very, very drunk. You could let her "showed you the light" better in the bathroom.:D

[BlairH]

Where can I get one of those?

I saw the image of the B52 incorporated into the "Peace" symbol a wee while ago on another forum. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it on a T-shirt, so I printed the picture out and took it to the high-quality T-shirt printing place at Fort Street in Ayr and asked them if they could make one for me.

£28.99: Worth every penny (it makes hippies cry, what better endorsement is needed?)

Huh? Not assuming that you can beat your morality into situations where it's not relevant or trying to cause as little pain as possible while effecting change is lazy?

Without knowing more about her personally, and Blair is NOT an unbiased source in this, as he's not likely to be overly receptive, jumping to her being a well-meaning poser is unfair, and harsh. If she was truly lazy, she'd have said nothing.

[NormanB]

Hippie girls tend to smell bad and not shave where they should.

You chose well in not hitting it.

[BlairH]

Huh? Not assuming that you can beat your morality into situations where it's not relevant or trying to cause as little pain as possible while effecting change is lazy?
I particularly liked her theory that "we are all one people", but yet she feels that our system can not be applied to other cultures. THAT is what I call consistent thinking!

and Blair is NOT an unbiased source in this
And who is? Everybody has political views. Even political centrists and apolitical people might be biased against hippie chicks.

I was extremely receptive! She was at least a 9. Maybe a 9.5. Definately a hottie.

[Adam Crocker]

Don't do it Blair! You must deny your essence to the women in order to maintain the purity of your bodily fluids!

Sorry, sir. How can I ever make up for my laxity in discipline?

[Dreadstar]

Blair, the proper response to a drunken hippy girl telling you about world peace and admonishing you for your T-shirt is:


"I can give you 3rd degree rugburns and make you bark like a dog. Not necessarily in that order."


Then lick your eyebrows and walk away.

When she sobers up, she'll have no idea why she's so fascinated with this guy she hardly remembers meeting.

I doubt she'll remember me. I did get her phone number, however:

SECTION 1
a) I do not intend to call her as she was not my type (see section 2)
b) She was really drunk! I doubt the number is even correct, as she made some "mistakes" when writing the number down.


SECTION 2
i) There's someone else
ii) Hippy chick gets drunk quickly. I don't date drunkards.
iii) She's a couple of years older than me.
iv) She's a hippie!

[Typo Lad]

"Why am I all sticky? Did something fun happen?"

s.2ii is flawed. If she was a drunkard, she'd get sloshed slowly due to tolerence.:p

[Typo Lad]

No one "dates" drunkards. Not once they have achieved the reason drunk hippies exist.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

That's right up there with "what's this in my hair?"

Is this a 9.5 on the Scottish scale, or the rest of the world scale?

Having done business in Scotland, I can assure you that there is plenty of hot Scottish ass to be had.

I also found that in general, the breasts are bigger than their American counterparts.

Heh. I said big cans.

[Magneto_X]

Right, I'm just back from my lunch break at work, meaning that it's IBT (Inter business transfer) time! Yeah!

Anyways, when we were in the process of closing down the store yesterday afternoon, I was invited over for a "gathering of interesting individuals" at my manager's place. I told him that I had work tomorrow, so it was best just to head home and get some sleep, however he made the point that he also has work, and that he's the manager! Fair enough! I always knew that he hung with a very interesting and unusual crowd so I decided to take him up on the offer.

It would be a while before the people started showing up, so we just sorta sat through in the computer room, playing World of Warcraft, hanging around on CBR etc.

Anyway, this girl showed up 'round about 12 midnight and went straight for the booze (I -of course- decided to abstain from alcoholic beverages. I only drink in private) she was the stereotypical "hippie chick" by the looks of things.

STOP! REWIND! When I'm at work, I wear 2 T-shirts, a long sleve T-shirt underneath and a short sleve one over the top. The one I was wearing on top was a Hitman: Blood Money shirt as issued by my employers. It features various people being killed by sniper rifles and fiber wire and so forth. Underneath, I wore my "Peace through superior firepower" T-shirt, which features a B52 Flying Fortress strategic bomber with a red circle enclosing the shape of the aircraft making it look like some EVIL variant of the "peace" symbol.

Back at the gathering/party, I realise that I'm still wearing these 2 T-shirts. Quite "offensive" to the crowd I think! The Hitmanshirt mostly only got some double takes and dirty looks, which is to be expected I suppose. Then I was walking back to my seat from taking a leak, I left the Hitman T-shirt in the bathroom and kept the "Superior Firepower" T-shirt on, as it was quite warm. The "hippie chick" stops me. She asked my if I was really pro-war, and I started explaining that unfortunately it is only the means to an end when other people are trying to destroy you.

She started in about how it can't solve anything, that peace is the only answer, we are all one people, etc. And the next thing I know, tears are just pouring down her face.

She tells me that it was fate that she saw me and she was meant to turn me around and "show me the light". I talked with her for a while. She said that America and the UK were just trying to make rest of the world like us and that we had no business in feeling that we were superior to others and that since we have no idea what it is like for some people we can't judge them. I told her that I thought moral/cultural relativism was a cop-out way of looking at things, and that some cultures and political systems were clearly superior to others.

Her "we are all one people" theory did have an exception though; she felt that men and women were totally different from one another. No argument from me there.

So in the end we agreed that men and women are completely different, and that peace is the ultimate goal, even we disagreed on the best way for it to be achieved.

Then she cried some more, sang me a song, and hugged me.


These people give liberals a bad name.

I'd say go for it. As an agnostic, I've been subject to more than a few sincere "conversion" attempts from pretty girls and women (remember, I live in the highly religion-crazed South), and you might as well make the most of it.

[Typo Lad]

Great Shell, now you've got me all excited.

[BlairH]

When I was in America, I said to a group of my Southern friends that Southern women were -on average- way hotter than...anybody else. Upon uttering these words I was cornered by my so-called "friends" and held at gu-knife point. They said that they'd let me go so long as I didn't tell any "outsiders" of my discovery. Wouldn't want them foreign guys stealing southern women!

One of those areas where we're going to have to agree to disagree, I think. Most of the Southern girls I've known have been under the impression that bleached hair and lots of makeup make a woman MORE attractive, rather than less.

I agree. Southern girls might be sluttier, but they are definitely less refined in terms of make-up, hair and fashion. They tend to overpluck their eyebrows, and many of them overdo it with the tanning, ending up looking like rawhide by their late 20's. My parents live in Shreveport, and I never see any pretty women when I travel there to visit.

Are you sure it wasn't your syntax that made her cry?

[Typo Lad]

Man, maybe I just got lucky then.

[BlairH]

Are you sure it wasn't your syntax that made her cry?

I think the waterworks actually started when I told her that I wasn't communicating with her via an internet message board. Sheesh, I was typing the post during a lengthy lull in work after my lunch break. There's no need to be such a sarky grammar Nazi.

I could go back and use the edit function to clear up my syntax a wee bit and perhaps add a few other literary flourishes, but I don't think I'll bother to be honest.

[Typo Lad]

By the way Blair, at 21, most of them like to be called "women".

If they spell it "womyn", run like the wind.
