Flower Power and other Random Shit

This is the place to debate politics, global warming, and yes, even the origin of man, whatever. Simply put, if you want to argue about off topic stuff, you've found the right board. Have fun!

I've never been much into what is considered "normal" in our modern culture (i.e. materialistic, judgmental, self-righteous, xenophobic, and self-obsessed).

Weird sounds good to me man.
Cross-country AND down-hill skiing in the backcountry.
Unashamed to be a "cross-country type" and love skiing down-hill.

Weird is good. Some of my favorite people are complete weirdos. Smart friggin' weirdos too.

I respect people who go off and do things their own way.

And I'm totally all those things. We all are to some degree... it's the flaw of being human.

I don't think we should get into any arguments about who is the least normal around here. I think Johnny would take the prize but there would be a long list for second place. :shock:

Johnny thinks he's perfectly normal. It's everyone else that is weird. I'm serious. Ask him. :lol:

And Bri7 and I are the only ones on here who have ever met him...

You should train for that Al, it's quite an experience. I think everyone should meet Johnny Love at least once in their life.

Yeah training is good for some people. Others just thrive on their natural abilities and good looks ;)

You'll have to bring your own. The only weed Johnny has are Geranium pills and some kind of fancy expensive herb-salt.

Also Al why I think it's so funny is he is probably not at all like you think he would be...

What the hell does geranium pills have to do with downhilling on skinnies (No disrespect to JL here)? I mean, we should at the very least start a Blabber Babber thread to talk about all this stuff, if that doesnt do it, start, a Flower Power forum for heaven sakes!
I live for the Telemark arc....The feeeeeeel.....I ski miles to get to a place where there is guaranteed snow to do the deal....TM
