Leaving Materialism for a Friendly, Enlightened Life

[JasonRox]

Personally, I don't think stoned knows what he wants. He's probably a materialistic person himself. He just names countries off the top of his head without realizing how much worse they are.

He hasn't even mentionned Japan yet!

Nice people are everywhere, but if you're going to be an anti-social kind of person who can only see what the media shows them, than I guess you're screwed.

Nope, It was a while ago, but it happened. Seems amazing now doesn't it?:

Amazing, hell! It seems impossible.

Do you leave the kids or the squirrels on?

Squirrels, of course. No kids allowed in my house.

I'm sure those brushy tails squirrels have would do well for scrubbing toilets.

And when one wears out, I just pickle the head and make Lucy a new jacket out of the pelt.

Now that's a household tool the Flintstones were missing.

I'm sure that someone who's never seen 'Hogan's Heroes' wouldn't know this, but no TV bathrooms had toilets in those days. The first time one was even heard was on 'All In the Family' in the 70's. (And even married couples had to sleep in twin beds, or one of them had to have at least one foot on the floor at all times.) "The times, they are a'changing."

My advice would be to join the Peace Corps. That would provide the ultimate in anti-materialistic, nature-dependant living. I suspect the experience will give him an appreciation for the merrits of western society.

Well, I don't know how hot, but you'll certainly be offered all the chicks you can handle (though I'd recommend against taking them up on the offer...). A couple of friends of mine (married to each other) joined and the guy was constantly offered women by the villagers they lived with.

A few more things...I don't think the Peace Corp is known for weed, unless it's a part of a CIA front for and Iran-Contra type operative...? Hmmm...Stoned could provide a perfect cover.

I remember the time when we could stay on topic for more than 2 pages in GD.

A Canadian "thread-jack?" This subversive activity is so not like you.

On the contrary, my dear. We are so ingeniously subversive that we appear not to be.

But I've always loved Canada and Canadians -- you mean it's all just been faked?

 

[Danger]

you mean it's all just been faked?

That sounds just a tad weird coming from woman...
Anyhow, I said subversive, not unlovable.
