h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

 Went to a luau. It was odd. Undescribable. Todays menu includes a hangover, followed by the favorite hippy sport -hacky sac. Soon finals will being and then all control will be lost. Silent scream.
 

What exactly is 'hacky-sac'? Is it something to do with small bean bags or is it something Lorena Bobbit used to play a lot to relieve stress?

By the way thanks for noticing my part in this hugely expansive quide.

That word doesn't get used so much, most people just confuse it with expensive. It's weird how much difference can be affected by just changing one letter in a word.

A picture can paint a thousand words, but one word can be impossible to picture.

eg. guilt. Draw a picture of that if you can.

Alby.

I'll have to describe it for you but a picture of guilt would be something along the lines of:

a Man's brother naked in Man's Wife's bed as Man walks in.
or Me and my friend at age 16 sitting on his carport roof getting stoned for the first time as his parents are wandering around below looking for us.
or Man in a spa pool surrounded by bubbles. . .

I could draw you lots.

I was struggling to think of something that i wouldn't be able to describe using pictures. It's quite hard to try and imagine something you can't represent. Infinity just does my head in, i treat it as a fairy story but i know it actually exists just not in a sense i can fully grasp. No matter how small you go there's still something smaller, after atoms it's hard to imagine how infinitely small the electrons and protons are and even then that's not the end of it.

I like science.

Albatross.

hacky sac is the little hippy game in which you smack a little bean bag with parts of your body (just not you hands and arms) , you are correct, lorena is only a side topic of conversation during the game. You know just a little chit chat. ITs nice.... Ah yes science is good tooooooo. Read any Sagan??? Stoned, id like to be stoned. right NOW. where the hells the faery?

yay. hacky sac rocks, although I haven't had a decent game for AGES!!! But it is a great pasttime. Me and a friend spent about 6 months on our government's sponsored hacky sac team (ie. on the unemployment benefit, smoking pot and hacking all day!) but he has become a hare krsna so I don't have that many people around who have the same level of commitment! !! And it's winter here which is not so good for hack. . .

Here is a poem my friend Clayton the Hare Krsna wrote 3 years ago:

The ball encased in cotton
The cat I pat is Notlim (-that's our cat's name)
To enhance your play
Smoke green hay
and stall it up your bottom!

Very nice, poem. AH, i see i havent played hackey sack in like a week and it bothers me much, mentally and pphysically. But hack is great, just another thing that the pot does too. Hare HAre Krishna Krishna. HAre HaRe Rama RaMA. I like hare krishnas i met one here, and i emailed him once to help me with my world religions report. Its winter in NZ??? wow, its smoldering in ny right now, id put the temp at a good 90 degrees/

Fahrenheit I hope! It is winter here, 19 degrees (that's celsius - ie about 65 of your fahrenheits so not too bad). It's a bit gloomy today but NZ is quite temperate even in winter.
I got the hacky out on the weekend and dusted it off. I had sort of forgotten how much fun it is but it would be a lot cooler if I had someone around to hack with. I might take it to capoeira tonight and see if anyone wants a hack afterwards.
