> History #44: The Little Hippy Prince
One day, in our Religion class, we were forced to watch a REALLY WEIRD movie called The Little Prince. I can barely remember it, but from what I recall, the movie was a SUPER TRIPPY MUSICAL CRAZYFEST. Screw the popcorn and Raisinets during this flick, time to get out the magic brownies and the 'shrooms instead. It should have had some Pink Floyd music set to it with some strobes and a giant blow up pig swaying around in the back of the class (someone pass the munchies... Can I have a Bathroom Pass for a bit).
Humor, Horror, and Heavy Metal: A sheep and the stinky, long-haired, Grateful Dead loving, pot smoking, hemp wearing, acid dropping, peace sign waving, flag burning, beatnik drumming, San Francisco living, organic farming, no meat eating, bohemian dancing, communal living, nude sitting, Om chanting, Allen Ginsberg reading, tie-dye making, civil rights screaming, anti-war movementing, psychedelic rocking, incense burning, Transcendentalist philosophizing, Phish listening, artisticly expressing, Patchouli smelling, Dig It Man Little Prince hippy.

The novel that the movie was based on, written by some French guy, attempts to delve deeply into the meaning of life, the unponderable realities of love, and unanswerable questions about the existence of mankind as seen through the eyes of a... uh... very short extraterrestrial that looks amazingly like an annoying British kid with stupid curly hair and an accent so thick that it makes you go "Uh..what?" and "Huh???" and "What the SHEEP did he say?" (at least in the movie version).

For some odd reason, the Little Prince at one point in the movie asks the narrator "Wood you drarwer mea sheeeeeep?" English Translation: "Would You Draw Me a Sheep?"

As you can see, for some reason, we actually had to Drarwer A Sheeeeeeep for class. Yeah. Good to know the educational system is pushing us to the limit. So, I drew the sheep, but turned the Little Prince into a stinky, long-haired, Grateful Dead loving, pot smoking, hemp wearing, acid dropping, peace sign waving, flag burning, beatnik drumming, San Francisco living, organic farming, no meat eating, bohemian dancing, communal living, nude sitting, "Om" chanting, Allen Ginsberg reading, tie-dye making, civil rights screaming, anti-war movementing, Woodstock Festivaling, flower powering, free loving, bra burning, bell bottom bustling, VW driving, psychedelic rocking, incense burning, Transcendentalist philosophizing, Phish listening, artistically expressing, Patchouli smelling, Dig It Man hippy.
