    I grew up in the 60's and watched the Big V War on the news every night, just waiting to turn 18. Here's one that may not be in the Slang Books. She's got a body by Fisher !!:bug:

    But they weren't all hippies. From the old footage, it's obvious that many of those that were there, were just teens looking to party and get laid. So you were a hippie then?

    "There is no doubt you were hip in the 1960’s and still are today! You just blew the doors off of this quiz by ACING it! Most people get a couple of the choicest words right, but very few do as well as you just did. Your performance was really out of sight!"

    This sounds like the Cliff Claven Buffalo and brain cell theory.

    "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
    "In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.
    In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

    A+ too.

    The only one I had never heard before was the "Gutt Waddin" reference. I guessed...incorrectly.:picard:

    From Urban Dictionary:
    Gutt Waddin
    Any type of cheap fast food, to fill you up and take the hunger away.
    Toby is going to McDonalds to get some Gutt Waddin.

    My Dad is still kicking himself he didn't attend Monterey Pop Festival back in the day. He was a G-man so didn't think he'd fit in, but was a big fan of Jimi and Janis, and The Who. He knew of them before they broke out.
    I was barely 6 months old, but I'm sure even I would have had fun there. Mucho exposed boobies from what I remember hearing. :dex:
