I’m back…at least for a bit. Various tech probs have kept me silent for a while. My Buddhist pal would probably say that’s good for me (and you).
Anyway, I’ll be in touch for a week…then I go on a little vacation (probably a trek in the woods) before I go on my involutary vacation…the one imposed by Knox County. I still don’t know if I’ll be in there 45 or 120 days. When I get the address, I’ll post it. Nothing cheers a prisoner like letters from friends.
Gotta go…trying to get a job through a temp service.
Wish me luck!
Peace,
TN*hippie
P.S. I know for a fact that God and Satan recently broke bread together. If you know the explanation of this unlikely event, send in your final answer and you will receive nothing in return.
We always miss you when ya not around. Be sure to post that address!
Howdy, TN!
Wish you the best of luck, and I hope your time in the pokie doesn’t go too rough.
Keep in touch: I need my limeric fix!
((((TennHippie))))
Yes, please post or email me with your address. I’ll be thinking of you, my friend, and I’ll write when I can, I promise!
A hippie was sentenced to jail
'Cause the sobriety tests he did fail.
Twas not the first time
He’d committed a crime
But at least he didn’t jump bail.
Meeting Dopers is absurd
Some people don’t show up, they are turds!
But Knoxville was no mess
Thanks to evilbess
And TN*hippie making a third
Goddamm it, man! I had to change evilbeth’s NAME to make this work… We need you for your limerick skills, dude!
I’m gonna post the couple of pictures of us all tonight. Hope you’re doing well, friend. It was cool meeting you…
Peace, brother. I think we have the same Buddhist pal.
Peace, bro, good luck. And don’t forget to post that address. Maybe we can get ya a postcard from Humbolt or somethin’. 
Good luck, TN. Catch up on all the reading you’ve unconsciously been wanting to do, and you’ll be out before you know it. You’ll be missed until then.

We’ll be thinking about you, Hippie. Post an address, okay. I know that it helps to hear from your friends, because I’ve had a friend go through this and he said it always cheered him up to hear from us. (Hope it’s the shorter term, dude.) Be strong.
You changed my name just to make a limerick?
TN*hippie, you have to hurry back–we can’t have Satan going around just destroying people’s usernames to make things rhyme! Sheesh!
Glad to hear from you; had wondered how you were doing!
Enjoy your amble in the woods, and here’s wishing you well during your incarceration. You’re a stand-up guy for facing the reality and reasons of it. Who knows? Maybe you’ll create a whole new genre: sorta Rivethead of the jail scene only in limerick form.
Comfort and good wishes to you!

Hi there!
I’m quite new here
and I don’t know you,
but still,
I want to wish you the best.
Take care.
Much luck to you, hon - take care.
I promise to send you silly postcards from Minnesota if you post/send me your address
Though my brain is riddled with fear
(And all because of that damned ol’ beer)
My near future’s bleak
And I’m financially weak
But your sentiments brought me a tear.
Jail’s not the worst kind of life,
So long as you’re not Killer’s wife.
Just keep your mouth shut,
Always sit on your butt,
And turn your prison spoon into a knife.

from a Montreal Hippie…
There is an astute Tennesseen
Whose posts are always worth seein’.
Though his world is strife
His brilliance brightens my life
So, I wish him peace and wellbein’
Ick. Note to self: Do not attempt limericks.
May your time in the pockey fly by
Quicker than the blink of an eye
'Cause you’re missed by your pals
All those virtual guys & gals
Who can’t wait 'till your snappy reply
Overwhelmed am I, I confess
By the empathy for my life’s mess.
Thanks for the kind thoughts:
Jeez, you sent lots and lots!
Some in limerick form, no less!
