PG Looks For A Hippie Name
PG saw where two of his FBF had taken a test to see what their “hippie name” was. One was Meadow Lotus Song, when he already used Meadow as an alternative name. The other, formerly employed in law enforcement, became Revolution Breeze.
Facebook applications are full of bugs. Instead, PG made a visit to “Big Android” Google (which is not much better), and a list of hippie name quizzes emerged. The background music was Children of Isizuke Tree. Pictures illustrating this endeavor are from the ” Special Collections and Archives,Georgia State University Library”
The first stop on this voyage of nomenclature discovery was Testriffic. The slogan at the door was “Flower Power! Wanna see what your groovy name from the 60’s would be.. check it out and dont trip over your platform shoes!” ( Purist PG sniffs that platform shoes were popular in 1973, when America was wallowing in Watergate).
An early sign that this might not be the real deal is question one, What do you like to do on Friday Night? Answer three is “get waisted and listen to Janis Joplin”. How do you waist? Maybe she means eating junk food, washed down with Southern Comfort. The hippie name generated here was “Sunshine”. Changing a favorite color from blue to pink made the name “sunburst”.
The next stop on our mystery tour is the hippiechicknamegenerator. Instead of asking dopey questions, this one gives you a field to enter your name. When PG is typed in the box, he finds that his hippie chick name is “Flow”.
There is a debate whether hippy is spelled with a y or an ie. The people at hippy.com take the non authoritarian path, and do not tell you what your HN is. Instead, a unisexual list is provided, and you can choose your own. Some of the options include Papers, DeLorean, and Tranquilla.
Since PG misses being told what to do, he decided to take one more quiz. Also, his immunity is strong these days, and it is safe to use something called Quizpox. QP offers a list of ten items to be checked as appropriate. A pre aquarian distrust of spell check is in evidence, as you are asked if you are a fan of the Beetles. PG did his duty, and was rewarded with the name Peace Brodderick.
