Butch Hillhurst-- Closet Hippie? You decide!

This is guest entry from my current travelling partner Macke MasTacos:

"I've been travelling with Butch for a while now, and have firsthand witnessed his hippie hatred and how whenever he spies a skinny, stoned, dreadlocked one, he remarks upon wishing he had his rifle [shotgun-- you get more of 'em that way], or how he wants to "eat that hippie for breakfast." And through all his hippie hatred (words that you've surely read in early blog posts) I've realized by carefully observing his own actions and likes, that heis really a closet hippie, and hippiephobe.

Butch's inner hippie shines clearly.

1) Doesn't use soap when he bathes (not even on his feet!)
2) Talks about feeling people's "energies"
3) Planted trees for 10 years [yeah...for industrial logging coporations]
4) Owns Birkenstocks (and declares them his favorite footwear) [me and Bill Gates both]
5) Can't stop talking about his new rainbow hat
6) Flirted with vegetarianism
7) Likes drumming, but isn't very good at it
8) Has been to a Grateful Dead show (Come on, how more hippie can you get?)
9) Wears an ethnic skirt in public [it's a LUNGHI, Macke, and when in Rome...]
10) Favorite coffee is "organic rainforest blend from Bean Around the World
11) Says frequently that he wants to "eat a hippie" (you are what you eat)
12) (And, worst of all) Got mistaken for an Israeli Hippie by a Nepali!

I don't know if Butch exhibits all these behaviors in Canada, or just some, but next time you see him please congratulate him for finding his inner hippie in India."
