#8  preferably female so as to cut down on the breeding population

Oh goodness! I thought they were way beyond the breeding age. Also - if you want to attract large numbers of them, put out a microphone, and a TV camera and a phtograph of a murdering despotic tyrant. They love them.

Hippie Game

I hate hippies

#7  Haight & Ashbury in San Francisco has a sign-up office. Upon paying the requisite tag fee, you will be issued a permit and tag for 1 kill and 1 kill only, preferably female so as to cut down on the breeding population. Permitted weapons are clue-bats, 2x4's, reliable information (ie truth though this does have a tendency to enrage them), the American flag (it's best to wrap them in it), SUV's (just the sight of one can send a hippie into apoplectic shock), and associated items of genuine American culture (a hamburger, coke, and fries, for example, is completely ineffective as a lure, but does act nicely as a contact poison). It has been reliably recorded that a photograph of President Ronald Reagan will stop them in their tracks and send many into such a total state of apoplexy that they can be easily snuck up on and clubbed clueless with a simple #2 clue-bat (the #4, #6, or trusty #10 is far too much weapon to use in this instance and may get you in trouble with the local Game Warden). It has been noted that a single "reefer" (a chemical attractant made from a local and native weed) will attract hippies fom a range of at least 5 miles (although you might also attract the dreaded "toker" in the same process). Wine has also been shown to work as an attractant, but the much-maligned "patuli oil" has been shown to have about the same attraction to hippies as the ripe scent of deer females has for bucks in the forest (though both smell pretty much like skunk pi$$) and is the most recommended such attractant agent.

Unfortunately, handguns are completely illegal in hippie-hunting as breeding populations have significantly reduced themselves in size by migration from hippiedom to the business world during the last 40-50 years.

#6  I grew up in southern CA. Most hippies were just dorks who discovered that they could hide that fact by putting on a pirate shirt and some pukas. By the late 1970's the true hippies had mostly died off from drug overdoses, joined The Grateful Dead - or they had moved on in life. Lot's of single mom's left hung out to dry from the summer's of love.

It was like one extended costume party.

#5  Hippie-hating serial killer sounds good, where do I sign up, and what kind of gun can I have?

#4  Very important to note that for many , *not* bathing was how they pledged allegiance to being a hippy. The smell was amazing, and not pleasant.

#3  Actually, after the "Summer of Love" (1967) the movement degenerated into anti-war, communist or drug dealing elements. Other than a handful who lived on communes, most "hippies" - they called themselves "freaks" - were extremely violent.

#2  Let's see, I must put that on my "must see" list. Pause for "hit from bong." Ah, where is that list? Damn. I'm always losing my "to do" list.

#1  Too bad it's fiction. There is still time though.

I actually remember some old geezer on TV in about 1970 saying that hippies would be objects of mirth, the subject of endless mockery and ridicule, in the 21st century. I wish I could remember who that was or what the program was.
