What is Best in Life?
Is it to crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women?
Possibly.
But the anguished wails of hippies mourning over dead trees is, at the very least, a close second:

Saw this on Twitter. Clicked it to make sure you were quoting Conan.
Carry on.

Thanks. It really does grate, doesn’t it?
October 31st, 2009 at 9:57 pm
After watching that video, I wanted to take a rope and hang myself. What a pack of idiots. What amazes me is they are still alive and someone didn’t beat the crap out of them a long time ago.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Boy is that a target rich environment. Let me guess, they are Vegans right? Trees are lifeforms but bushes and carrots are not? I would like to double down on each one of them are pro-abotion. Do they live in homes with no wood products? All I can think is one of them cancels out my vote in every election.

There’s a reason real men are still going into the forests with an axe.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Sorry, Harvey.
I just couldn’t watch it.
So I’ll take your word for it.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:15 pm
Maybe I’m just more evil than the average IMAO reader, but I couldn’t stop laughing watching this.
Curse my blackened heart.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:19 pm
They’ll mourn the cotton plants that
died by continuing to wear ill fitting, garments.
But, who, who I ask, will weep for the acres of old growth
ganja, cut down in its prime, which turned these hippies
into emotionally retarded basket cases?
This video makes me want to run out and buy a chain saw.
October 31st, 2009 at 10:34 pm
I’m going to pass up the opportunity to make fun of these people. They are simply malignant narcissists, viewing themselves as the hero of their own soap opera. The emotional outbursts are only affect. I’m sorry, I tried to be light hearted about it and just couldn’t bring it off.
October 31st, 2009 at 11:08 pm
Great video, but that’s old.
That’s Ace old.
October 31st, 2009 at 11:29 pm
I gonna take a wild guess and say that these women are from the left side of the political aisle
October 31st, 2009 at 11:40 pm
I could think about a lot of other things to bemoan. Can’t muster a tear for old growth…nah not a drop.
October 31st, 2009 at 11:41 pm
Yes, saw this a couple years ago. Found it pretty scary in regards to the level of insanity roaming around.
Though I think the older woman was the only one who was serious about it. The others were there probably just looking for a sex companion.
October 31st, 2009 at 11:43 pm
Look at the rock! Look at the life on it!
November 1st, 2009 at 12:13 am
I’ve seen this video a few times. I may be mean, but it always strikes me that it would be really funny if one of those “old growth” trees would fall down and crush one of the hippies.
November 1st, 2009 at 12:15 am
As it turns out Beavis and Butthead are not real impressed with them either.
November 1st, 2009 at 12:47 am
Satire sites like “The Onion” are becoming increasingly irrelevant these days. Our culture is becoming a parody of itself.
November 1st, 2009 at 1:27 am
“……..but it always strikes me that it would be really funny if one of those “old growth” trees would fall down and crush
one of theall of those hippies.Gotta watch those typos
I made it through 30 seconds, maybe they should throw themselves in front of giant chain saws as an offering to the head tree.

Memo to stinking hippies:
Let me know when a tree answers you or a rock reproduces. And then go to rehab.
November 1st, 2009 at 1:44 am
Not at all, Harvey. Neither could I.
November 1st, 2009 at 1:48 am
As one who lived so deep in the woods we had to drive to our mailbox for several years, I want to tell all you tree-hugging city folk to STAY THE HECK IN THE CITY. We don’t want you “protecting” our environment and we sure as heck don’t want you in it. And the trees don’t want it, neither.
And before ya’ll get high-and-mighty about America getting “industrialized” and everything, when was the last time you heard about an American intentionally burning a forest to the ground? You know who did that all the time? The American Indians. Stick that in your tree and hug it.
November 1st, 2009 at 2:24 am
Somebody should ask them what their rolling papers are made of…

Tribal legend of the Alibamo Creek
Indians…Native Americansearly hippies states that Fire belonged to Bear in ancient times. However, one day Bear neglected Fire and it nearly extinguished. People heard the cries of the ailing Fire and fed it with sticks and brush. From that point on fire belonged to human beings.Now see? They had a really good reason, they had to feed Bear!
Remember, when you walk over from Asia, you’re “native” and or “indigenous” but if you come out of the stone age and sail over from Spain, you’re evil.
November 1st, 2009 at 8:22 am
I believe Eric Cartman put it best in his cover of Pokerface when he said “I don’t give a crap bout whales, so go and hug a tree. mah mah mah.”
Truer words were never spoken.

Sex partners? In that group? Eeww! That’s disgusting!

That woman’s crying is like hearing brain death. I type this next to the Zombie Helen “No Brains!” award on the left.
You’re not evil, Harvey; your ‘piquant.’
November 1st, 2009 at 10:17 am
This is the same bloodline of hippies that got DDT banned and effectively caused millions of people to die from starvation and malaria. The same hippies who perpetuated the most colossal hoax of the past hundred years, Manmade Global Warming.
If a hippy chained himself to the top of a tree I was trying to cut down you know what you’d hear from me?
The sound of a chainsaw revving.
November 1st, 2009 at 10:40 am
My ancestors used to worship Oak trees, dance naked in the moonlight, and have copious amounts of open air sex. Times have changed! We no longer worship Oak trees.
November 1st, 2009 at 11:20 am
Reckon they mourn the death of the pot they smoke?
November 1st, 2009 at 11:22 am
Stupid Hippies!!!! Go get a job, take a bath, stop smoking the dope, and get a life. Man would these hippies crap a brick if they saw me in action with a chain saw. Now if you’ll excuess me I have to go make some firewood now.
November 1st, 2009 at 11:52 am
Even Tommy Smothers knew, you can be aware of nature and every tree bush and blade of grass, but you don’t TALK to them!
November 1st, 2009 at 11:54 am
Psychotherapists must be rubbing their mitts right now.

The Best In Life. Children. They are without a doubt the finest thing I have ever done. I will be able to leave the stewardship of my slice of human experience knowing that it is in fine hands.
Are they perfect…………….duh?
Since an imperfect person parented them they’d really have to overcome a lot to be perfect but they are good people, filled with common sense (most of the time) and a healthy respect not just for life but for their responsibilities to take care of that which they have and to use it wisely. People weeping over trees just “shows to go ya” that they are selfish, egotistical, children who’s parents didn’t take the time to instill in them the morals of a alley cat. All show and no go, is the way they used to describe people like this.
Fits, I think.
November 1st, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Wait…. you mean they are serious? That wasn’t some challenge in a Survivor Episode? Or a skit from SNL or Mad TV?
OMFG! When can we honestly start punching them?
November 1st, 2009 at 2:22 pm
The Trees are starting to fight back! Now that trees are killing children in suicide attacks maybe the American people will see who the true enemy is.
The video hippies were last seen holding a candle light vigil for their fallen brother.

Oh my god!!!! Why Why Why????? How could this happen??? OOOOOOOAAAAAAAWWWWWAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.Sob, sob, sob sniffle sniffle. Oh why God would you let this happen? Why didn’t you let me hit pause before I watched these pathetic losers.
When does the season open for these things, and where can I get my hunting tag?
November 1st, 2009 at 5:41 pm
why can’t these people be in california during a wildfire?
November 1st, 2009 at 7:07 pm
The number one cause of death for beavers is falling trees… Would the number one cause of death for hippies be brain damage?
November 1st, 2009 at 8:39 pm
#7 – Harvey,
I wasn’t casting any aspersions on your sense of humor or the color or level of evil currently residing in your heart. (Bless your heart, by the way.)
I just can’t stand listening to hippies ranting.
I don’t mind downloading a Crowder or Zoe video, or your Lightning Round jewels or another Capitalist Propaganda video (if you’ve got any), but I draw the line at hippies weeping in the woods.
November 1st, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Was the head on that drum dead animal skin or petroleum based?
November 2nd, 2009 at 6:42 am
Insanity. It was physically painful watching this. Surely this is a sign of the apocalypse. These people actually vote. And some actually reproduce. I’m amazed, yet secretly laughed watching this. Okay, it wasn’t secret. I was howling with laughter. What do these people use for toilet paper? I don’t want to touch ANYTHING they touch.
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:07 am
Man, hippies are dumb.
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:33 pm
This is almost as funny as a Crowder or Zo video. Or even a Crowder/Zo video. What is HIlarious is they want “Sustainable” Energy, Etc. So we’d be killing plants anyway. HIlarious. So, if an old-growth tree is cut down and falls on a Hippy alone in the forest, does anyone laugh. I know I would.
November 2nd, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Since the forestry industry plants more trees in one hour than the world-wide hippy contingency combined does in a year, hippies must LOVE logging companies. Especially Christmas tree farms.

November 2nd, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Frightening thought: These pathetic assholes’ votes count exactly the same as yours.
November 2nd, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Oh, this so needs to be spoofed. Have a guy peeing in the background and another cutting down a tree, getting ready to yank it out of the forest like in Ax Men, then have these nut-cases go ballistic. It’ll be classic!
November 2nd, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Earth First! Then we strip mine the other Planets!
November 2nd, 2009 at 5:03 pm
These people have loss all perspective. Our men and woman are dying in foreign lands, some by choice, others not. This was no tragedy….it’s %#!$@&* nature!!
November 2nd, 2009 at 11:59 pm
Sadly, in the last election one of these mental cases canceled out your vote.
November 3rd, 2009 at 1:36 am
Makes me want to run them over with my Hummer . . . . . F’ing hippies I hate them so much!
November 3rd, 2009 at 2:29 am
Well someone needs to mourn the loss of the trees I spose.
I wonder though, do they mourn the loss of ferns?

I half-expected Will Farrell to come up and hug one of ‘em and escort her back to his mom’s house for a post-grieve bang fest…with the requisite abortion afterwards. What f***ing hypocrites.
