I suspect she wouldn't care for the bears roaming Church Street and making meals of the free-range pedestrians. It doesn't make the news much, because it would be bad for tourism, but during spring break, when the street is choked with mud during mud season, the bears LOVE the easy catch of a tasty grazing tattooed feminist struggling along in high heels trying to avoid the stinky hippies.

Anyone like that who dares to wander out of the city is in REALLY deep trouble. Most of the surrounding towns are just huge hippie camps of conservatives with guns that shoot deadly flowers.

LOLOLOL!!!! I am laughing hysterically. Tried to give you good feedback but must "spread some around" first. Thanks for the tickle.

Most of the hippies went into politics (big part of why VT is in the current mess but that's a topic by itself). So you won't find a lot of unshowered, pot smoking, hippies standing on streetcorners screaming at you to go green. You might occasionally see a naked female PETA protester making a fool of herself, but the last time I heard of that it was in Brattleboro during the winter not Burlington.

Maybe if u weren't so judgemental & mean ud have REAL friends. Clearly u will all be squirelled away inside on the internet (world of Warcraft anyone?) so I won't have to deal with you.

If you (u) are really thinking of moving, you (u) shouldn't make a decision based on what you (u) read on the internet. I would think you (u) would actually visit the city because (cuz) that is the only way you'd (ud) be able to make an informed choice.

You forgot "liberal"!

What is World of Warcraft? Is that actually something?

[harry chickpea]

I think it is something Dick Cheney used to play. Never got into it myself.

It's a horrible online game that is destroying teenagers' lives around the world.

Now if you'll excuse me I need to go play Team Fortress 2.

I have troubling news. I think you may be a hippie.

The above information, along with your admission of love for guys with tattoos, almost certainly points in this direction. Instead of debating
about Burlington's hippie population, we should probably first determine
if you are actually a hippie yourself.

Can you provide a link to a recent photo of yourself?
