Smelly Hippies Weep, Wail and Gnash Teeth Over Dead Trees
Sometimes one wonders what is the matter with people. This video showcases one of those times.


Hippies Wail for Dead Trees - Watch more free videos

I hope I never get seated next to one of these nuts at a restaurant. I'd be trying to eat my rib eye while people named Moon Beam Shadow, Tumbleweed and Chakra scream apologies to the dead cows. "I'm sorry you're so delicious!"

buncha tree huggin' hippie crap...

said Sheriff Pablo on September 7, 2008 5:13 PM.

I love that one guy has a drum. No reason. He's just drumming.

said Johnny Wright on September 7, 2008 5:18 PM.

Man. Well, I like trees too. That looks like the lamest party ever though.

said E on September 7, 2008 5:30 PM.

These guys are really annoying.

But I'm sure there are far more people on the other side of the spectrum who tear down trees and run over animals just for entertainment, such as, say, anyone in Texas.

said mott on September 7, 2008 5:32 PM.

My thought was who has time to do that? Does crying over trees pay a lot? I love nature as well, but things like having a job sorta cut into the whole tree mourning thing.

said Friggan on September 7, 2008 7:24 PM.

A very observational and funny point.

said Johnny Wright on September 7, 2008 7:36 PM.

This has to be a comedy bit right? i mean there can't be anyone THIS pathetic in the world is there?

oh wait...

this is the human race we're talking about here....

Never mind...

said Sheriff Pablo on September 7, 2008 7:43 PM.

These people give bleeding heart liberals a bad name....I'd like to sue for defamation of character...

[I'm thinking and hoping] it was the 'shrooms...

I'm sorry--but this is not far from really, really destitute areas of Appalachia--use your time to go be a Big Brother/Big Sister, feed some families, visit some homebound elderly...instead of wasting time on the trees (which are beautiful, but I guess they didn't get the memo that trees have no ears...)

said sarcastic one on September 7, 2008 7:47 PM.

BTW, I is reminded of The Screaming Trees, an awesome band.

said E on September 7, 2008 8:00 PM.

Pablo I'm pretty sure it's real pal.

I thought about including the joke:

When asked how they felt that these humans were grieving their demise the trees said ... nothing. They're freaking trees.

But I thought it was too mean. Wait, I just wrote it anyway. Oops.

said Johnny Wright on September 7, 2008 8:02 PM.

E: Saw Screaming Trees at the Paramount Theater in Seattle. 93 or so. Pretty good show.

said Johnny Wright on September 7, 2008 8:09 PM.

I have loads of trees people can cry about. I live in the Rocky Mountains - the forests are dying. Tiny bark beetles living in the pines have killed hundreds of thousands of trees that are "stressed" due to drought. It is a dreadful and heartwrenching site. The once vast, green forests covering the sides of mountains are now rust and brown colored. Earth First could still help the trees by cutting down and clearing the dead growth and use the wood to build tree houses. That way the gov't won't have to burn them - causing pollution, threat to animals, communities, and taking the healthy green trees down with them. SERIOUSLY - Our forests are too dense and need thinning - naturally. These crybabies need to get off their fucking sad asses and do their homework. DO something, don't scream and cry about it!

said molli on September 7, 2008 8:12 PM.

Save the forest, Cut down some trees. Sounds crazy but it's the truth.

said Sheriff Pablo on September 7, 2008 10:14 PM.

This sounds like a news story we need here.

Authorities: Burglar Wakes Men With Spice Rub


FRESNO, Calif. (AP) -- Authorities say they've arrested a man who broke into the home of two California farmworkers, stole money, rubbed one with spices and whacked the other with a sausage before fleeing.

Fresno County sheriff's Lt. Ian Burrimond says 22-year-old Antonio Vasquez was found hiding in a field wearing only a T-shirt, boxers and socks after the Saturday morning attack.

He says deputies arrested Vasquez after finding a wallet containing his ID in the ransacked house.

The farmworkers told deputies the suspect woke them Saturday morning by rubbing spices on one of them and smacking the other with an 8-inch sausage.

Burrimond says money allegedly stolen was recovered.

'I never meant patchouli to kill!'

said E on September 7, 2008 11:32 PM.

It's heartwarming that a group of people who all share the same deep hatred of their lives have found each other.

You can't just pretend to be a hippie to capitalize on the sex and dope anymore. Subjecting yourself to this kind of embarrassment makes it simply not worth it.

said chad on September 8, 2008 1:45 AM.

Friggan, you left out the punchline...

The dog ate the weapon.

said Miss Cellania on September 8, 2008 2:16 AM.

Aren't these the same people who fill out ( in trplicate ) papers to have the same tree that their paper saved? I wonder if the glue that holds their Eddie Bauer boots together is synthetic or resin based? Surely they all at least wipe their asses with bean curd or tofu.

Pave the planet, that's what i always say.

said phatlard on September 8, 2008 6:03 AM.

Thanks Rev!! I needed a good laugh to get my week started. The funniest part was when I was "educated" about "how full of life" the rock is. That was awesome. How many cows had to die for those Birkenstocks BTW? Did they cry when SAVAGELY murdered that bud, then VICIOUSLY stuffed it into their bong pipes...and TORCHED it?

said ConservaLiberCrat_08 on September 8, 2008 8:44 AM.

I just can think of one thing to say to those hippies: "Go get a job!".

CLC, I ask almost the same when a vegan came to ask me if I didn't pity the dead cow I was eating. I said that to be faithful to his beliefs he might eat only the fruits and leaves that fell from the tree. Or else it would be a vegetable carnage. (can it happen????.. hahah)
One had responded me that those were two different subjects, beacuse plants does not have feelings like the animals do.
Oh really? Have you been a lettuce in one of your past lives? Or a tree, or whatever?

Don't come to me with that. I love vegetarians, I eat them for lunch.

said Leonardo Carvalho on September 8, 2008 9:26 AM.

I bet they moonlight as loggers.

said Don't Swayze Bro on September 8, 2008 10:03 AM.

said Thomas on September 8, 2008 10:24 AM.

Bless your heart Thomas.

said ConservaLiberCrat_08 on September 8, 2008 10:34 AM.

thanx yo. yor mom and dad mustv bin hippes to cuz yor namz all crzy. but yer nice so you must not be a hippe.

said Thomas on September 8, 2008 10:56 AM.

wow.

said ConservaLiberCrat_08 on September 8, 2008 11:28 AM.

I did love when she said the rock has life. I beg your pardon crazy lady?

said Johnny Wright on September 8, 2008 12:04 PM.

Yo Thomas - You could write a song about their plight with a hip-hop rap twist and then Earth First could do an interpretive dance to it with the guy drumming while someone is reading your prose....that is, if anyone can read your bizarre shorthand. Come on dude, spell it out already!

said molli on September 8, 2008 12:18 PM.

I dontevn no wat you jut rote.

said Thomas on September 8, 2008 12:49 PM.

I'm still pretty sure Thomas is screwing with us.

said Johnny Wright on September 8, 2008 1:01 PM.

jon;
im onley into wimmin.

said Thomas on September 8, 2008 1:03 PM.

Touche, you rapscallion.

said Johnny Wright on September 8, 2008 1:06 PM.

I'm sorry, I'm not buying this "Thomas" person. Something tells me it's Dave's alter ego. I mean, you have to be literate in order to register with YBNBY, and "Thomas" was able to do this successfully.

-OR-

This is the dude at the RNC that was holding up that sign.

said ConservaLiberCrat_08 on September 8, 2008 1:13 PM.

I wil be the prsidintnow dave is deader thna Abrihma linkin.

said Thomas on September 8, 2008 1:33 PM.

CLC, I'm thinking about it since this guy Thomas showed in the YBNBY forum. And he just came from out of nowhere asking for news about Dave, and telling that he heard that Dave died in a crash plane...
I was watching his steps to try and catch him on a fault. But you just showed it... He would know how to registrate being this smart.

said Leonardo Carvalho on September 8, 2008 1:36 PM.

Thomas - You and Bush seem to have a lot in common, so you're obviously qualified. But I'm still stuck on the Dave theory for some reason...

Leo - clear a corner to be on the safe side.

said ConservaLiberCrat_08 on September 8, 2008 1:44 PM.

wered you get palne crash from.

i nevr sade that.

evrybuddy nos dave do'tn fly.

said Thomas on September 8, 2008 1:53 PM.

I meant "he would NOT know..."

CLC, corner clear and waiting. If he's not Dave, to the corner there he goes!

I second on you on this theory. He just mentioned Lincoln, like Dave did once... just wondering... but why would he choose Lincoln, with so much dead people to pick from?

said Leonardo Carvalho on September 8, 2008 1:53 PM.

I was trying to catch you up pal...
How do you know he doesn't fly?

said Leonardo Carvalho on September 8, 2008 1:58 PM.

You're right Leo. He could have said Dale Earnhardt Jr., Strom Thurman, Walt Disney, Tammy Faye Baker, or Liberace. But he chose Lincoln.

Thomas - Dave doesn't fly?

said ConservaLiberCrat_08 on September 8, 2008 2:03 PM.

i no his in rill lief.

said Thomas on September 8, 2008 2:04 PM.

Yeah, you do...
Did you use to run with him?

said Leonardo Carvalho on September 8, 2008 2:20 PM.

not rilly run with him. he was my loyer.

said Thomas on September 8, 2008 2:53 PM.
