there's far weightier evidence that I'm not a hippy

To be fair, there was probably plenty to suggest that Darth wasn't actually a rampant bum-plunderer
But where there's a dead horse, I'll be there to flog it.

I dunno about that
there's a lot of convincing evidence that he is a dirt-road bandito...

This is true
Like behaving like the world's biggest shirter, for starters...

exactly
whereas my only hippy-like traits are smoking a load of pot and wearing flares. Which are outweighed by me hating everyone, not really being all that bothered by the environment and the fact that I shower daily.

I would point out that Neil the hippy hated everyone too.
Case proven I think.

Yeah, but I think that was OCD.

Way to go, counsel.

But
you do have an acoustic guitar.
And I further put it to the jury, you play said hippy 'instument'.
Regularly in fact. Is that not so Mr Vipros?

I rarely play my acoustic

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 5 Jul 2010, 11:53, Reply)

Yes or No if you please.
Do you play an acoustic guitar?
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Mon 5 Jul 2010, 11:55, Reply)

I would estimate that I've played one for about an hour in the last month
compared to 20 hours of electric guitar

So is that "Yes, I play an acoustic guitar"
The sort of guitar played by hippies, may I remind the jury?

I don't think you are going to convict on this basis

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 5 Jul 2010, 11:59, Reply)

As part of the jury
I think you are sorely mistaken

as if a jury would have you on it

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 5 Jul 2010, 12:01, Reply)

And I dare say you do not acknowledge the jurisdiction of this court.
However we take it you do play an acoustic guitar, and would probably like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.
Was that a 'peace' sign you just made - no matter. Take him down, warden.
