Native Americans, Hindi, or Bhuddhists can’t teach us what we all need to know about pyramid power, Harmonic Convergence. affirmation, and holistic… everything.
Ommmmmmmmm… motherfuckers!
Hell, I don’t even care if the OP’s rant was total shit. The “the rodeo buckle of the bible belt” phrase was golden and made it all worthwhile.
I dunno. It changed from cowfucker truck driving idiot to big ass SUV, phone in one hand, latte in the other, kids in the back screaming, entitled Central Market shopper.
Not sure it’s any better…
Love that store but I avoid it like the plague because of that parking lot.
Hey, what do you get when you play country music backwards?
You get your job back, you get your wife back, you get your pickup back . . .
But what do you get when you play New Age music backwards?
You get New Age music!
Yeah, Pete. Go back to Belgium, you Belgiumesian hater.
Seriously though, lot of us grew up in Texas (even my waffle sucking friend Pikey Pete). We’ve watched it get dumber and dumber every year. It’s not that we hate Texans, it’s that we hate stupid Texans, and they seem to be taking over.
The biggest problem (other than having family and and friends who aren’t idiots here) is that once you are in Texas it’s hard to save up enough money to move someplace else. wages are low, so you cant really save up. You reach a point where you are kind of stuck in this big ole inbreeder vortex.
in response to a few of you: a) I’m white. (makes some of your comments seem…bigoted.) b) I’m not religious in the slightest. I am what we call ‘post-theist’. c) I love Texas, but I just have to shake my head at some of the chuckleheads in this state. What really gets me is that so few of you seem to grasp that my original post was about new-agers and their disrespect for the spiritual and cultural customs of other people.
Austin and Houston are basically not Texas, how does the Texas stereotype square with the fact parts of Houston have street signs in Vietnamese.
You could live in either city and be blissfully unaware of the mouth breathing stupidity the state is supposedly known for.
I don’t know if you’ve been to Austin recently, but it gets more and more like the southern most suburb of Dallas these days. No where near as weird as it used to be, because somehow they found out the secret of making weird commercially viable. As for Houston, you are quite right, it isn’t Texas. Its the afterbirth of Louisiana dribbling down Texas’s leg. The humidity is unbearable. It smells worse than Venice (Italy, not California.) The traffic is atrocious. Worst, I’m allergic to pine pollen.
I’ll agree to all those points, but I still have a soft spot for the working class industrial city full of immigrants.
Step in, I can rotate and align your chi for you.
My first pit rant was about a masseuse who offered to align my chi. :rolleyes:
No we have to keep Texas as part of our strategic BBQ triad. Along with Memphis and Kansas City Texas helps ensure that the USA is always defended against a sneak BBQ attack by some third world despot with a gas grille.
I look at the crowd of Christian crazies outside the abortion clinic and think, "If only that could be arranged… "
Since when are wind chimes emblematic of New Agers? If so, then all the suburban twits who hang wind chimes on their porch for nonstop jangling have suddenly morphed into hippies.
suburban twits don’t record them onto cd’s and play them as ‘meditational music.’ Also, it is a sad world when people don’t remember the words of George Carlin.
now here is a man who knows his bbq. He never once mentioned Georgia as being part of the strategic BBQ triad.
Shouldn’t that be Running Bare? 
Ever tried telling one you’re on the pill?
My housemate got told not to take it by a fucking NHS nurse, due to some new age bulllshit about ‘natural cycles’; apparently she should have taken some extortionately priced herbal shite ‘prescribed’ by a ‘holistic herbalist’.
I have quite a lot of friends who believe some combination of new age bollocks. They’re nice people, in general, but it’s all I can manage not to slap them at times. When someone you know gets ill, and spends two weeks trying to cure it with ayurvedic fucking tea, then winds up hospitalised and seriously ill, rather than going to a bloody doctor as soon as they realise it’s not just a minor bug- and this in a country with free medical care and very cheap prescriptions, it’s hard not to get a little stabby.
When a friend who’s a trained pharmacist is also ‘training’ to become a reiki practitioner, it’s hard not to try and slap some sense into her.
I’m Filbert, and I endorse this pitting.
Be sure to get back to us when they start picketing, intimidating and killing chemists or making entire political parties and their candidates kow-tow to their delusions.
Bronze-Agers. Just stop.
ROFLMAO Actually I am trained as a reiki practitioner, and I don’t happen to believe in ‘energy work’ at all [it was a christmas present from a new agey friend.]
I happen to think it works because of the placebo effect, personally.
Let me get this straight. This is a rant about wind chimes? Not even a neighbor’s wind chimes? Somebody has been skipping their meds.
