He would have died from Heat Stroke, not Heat Exhaustion.

Nominees for friend of year award coming up right here..

An old English teacher of mine once said "If you know not the answer to a multiple choice question, choose the longest". That means that the correct answer is obviously C, as it's nearly twice as long as both A and B.

This boy is having an out of body experience! This is very...bad for business...

Is this a trick question ?

while both men were still breathing, no attempts were made to revive them because the group believed they were having "out of body" experiences. "It was considered by some of the campers that the men might have been astral-travelling, that their conscious selves had left their bodies"

I guess, technically, that's correct. The guy is just having a permanent out-of-body astral experience.

"Only gays and the French drink bottled water."

Stupid farking hippies.

Sounds like SOMEONE was on acid....

Gothnet Stupid farking hippies

More like amateur new-age zombies. They're usually disillusioned middle class types who abandon one brain-dead culture to adopt another. They read some books and mindlessly follow the advice within, going exactly nowhere.

They also get hostile when you suggest there's more than one way to interpret differing cultural traditions. You're harshing their dogma-induced mellow by bringing reality into their mind space.

Hippies on the other hand tend to actually use their brains and actually live in the real world rather than sit around and do nonsense psuedo-cultural crap. Sure some of their stuff sounds wacky but they actually put some effort into their ideas.

As for me, I'll entertain alternative interpretations and lines of reasoning, but I flat out refuse to leave my brain at the door. If someone shouts out that they're having trouble in the sweat house, then I assume they're "having trouble in the sweat house" not "having an out-of-body experience" and grab the drums and tambourine.

uh huh, huh "pipe ritual"
[/beavis]

well, i farked that up:

because they wanted to participate in a "pipe ceremony".

I need more info about the pipe ceremony.

How come "C" is never something *I* would do?

Why are there people like this? And why can't we sterilize them?

Australian trifecta?

Raw_fishFood Why are there people like this? And why can't we sterilize them?

Because they keep getting dirty.

This is on some old Tibetan Book of the Dead type stuff. Tim Leary adopted it to describe the acid experience. They didn't get the memo? So we evolve. Or maybe not. I've been to Wal-Mart. No one is evolving or dying (damn).

Yah, I know, original hippies actually had something to say about society and some ideas, albeit LSD inspired ideas.

It just seems that there's not really a better word. Neo-hippies? Like Neo-cons, they're not actually hippies and have very dissimilar ideas and outlooks, but like to tell people they are.

"This is on some old Tibetan Book of the Dead type stuff..."

bah this man is not dead! he can only be killed by being stabbed in the heart by the Bone Sabre of Zumacallis...

that website is a piece of shiat. doesn't show up properly in opera and i can't RTFA!!!

Sounds like his 'good friends' will be doing some 'ASS-tral' traveling in the PMITA jailhouse.

Note: Opera users, just cancel the page loading after the text appears and you can read the article.

Skinink, you made my morning!

Lord what's with all the "Do you (a)... create a cool original headline (b) recycle the same old shiat (c) recycle the same old shiat (d) recycle the same old shiat

I need more info about the pipe ceremony.

It involves a mystic herb called "tobacco".

If you can't stand the heat, Get out of the sweat lodge.

If your friend is dying of heat exhaustion do you: (a) offer first aid, (b) call an ambulance or (c) dance, chant, play drums and "engage in astral travelling"


/where is his astral at and why are you travelling in it?

well, that's what you get for going on a "vision quest"

Though i'm sure that this group was a bunch of middle age white guys, keep in mind that this is a very real and very important ceremony for native americans. I don't know the details of the ceremony b/c my tribe didn't use these rituals, but don't discredit the ritual. Just knock the dumbasses who try to emulate it.

Wanted for questioning

Opera users: use something else.

No need to sterilize these people, Darwin is hot on the case.

/damn hippies

"Sorry, I just stroked off there for a minute."

Sounds like these guys were hitting a peyote filled peace pipe.

Great idea placing blankets on top of them after pulling them out of the "pipe ceremony".

You mean it wasn't global warming?

Sounds like someone has been playing too much Prey.

Was this a Yes concert?

Is Jon okay?

stupid new agers.. leave it to a bunch of crystal humping, art bell listening, weak minded knee biting jerks to rip off something they never understood in the first place, and sell it to middle class morons who think its a cure all.
If only we could get them ALL in an overheated sweat and not open the door..
new agers can DIAF

/no seriously, thats really how I feel
//DIAF twice you jerks

Engaging in rituals without understanding the meaning or context behind them only makes for a hollow experience. If you just read about something, say, "Ooh, that's cool, I'll try that!" you shouldn't expect to engage in spiritual growth. It's like trying to start a committed, deeply emotional relationship by hiring a hooker. Sure, it MIGHT work, but the chances are pretty slim. You're more likely to experience a brief period of satiation, find your wallet lighter, and move on without really having changed.

Sadly, a lot of New Age stuff is like that. My personal experience is that you can find spiritual meaning and growth in "kooky" New Age stuff, but you have to invest more than cash.
