So we're sittin' out on the verandah takin' in the very early afternoon sun (amongst other thangs) when this ENMU student walks by and flashes us the peace sign. Not a wave, not the usual high-sign, but a bona-fide, two-fingers extended peace sign. I waved back in the usual, customary and reasonable manner.
The sixties are DEAD, Dude... just in case no one told ya. OTOH, mebbe he was just expressing solidarity with this:
It might could be one Deadhead recognizing another and I'll cut him a sprout if that's the case.
Hey! There's an ideer for today's Happy Hour Soundtrack!

ReplyDeleteThat must be it ...solidarity.
Solidarity... it ain't just a shipyard workers union in Poland!
DeleteI always extend the peace sign, I never got the memo :-) ...tin soldiers and Nixon's coming...
ReplyDeleteYou're finally on yer own! ;-)
DeleteI always heard it was the peace sign if the palm was out... and means, "you wanna drag?" when the back of the hand is out.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta picture Winston Churchill with a big ol' Robusto.

DeleteIn most of the rest o' the world that particular gesture also means what our extended middle digit means. Photos of Sir Winston with his ever-present cigar are among my very favorites!
Gotta get a COEXIST sticker, Buck--but then you'd have to buy a Prius to put it on, lol.
ReplyDeleteI'll put both on my Christmas list, Virgil.
