Naturally Stoned on Jesus

Insanity has engulfed my life in a big way this past week; hence the absence of posts. I won't apologize, since I'm not sorry (and, frankly, loathe how overused the phrase "I'm sorry" is), but I will say I hope y'all will tune in to find something new to read in this space before we all go grey.

Meanwhile, here's something fun for your Friday:

"Dude, I'm tellin' you, this guy Jesus is totally far-out, man..."

The ridiculous print reads:

"Like, if you want to get high
You don't have to drop acid
Just pray and you go all the way to heaven.

You don't have to pop pills to get loaded
Just pop a little Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John.

Get loaded on Jesus,
24 hours a day,
You can be naturally stoned on Jesus!

Like, with Jesus,
He can really get it together in your head
And in your heart forever.

It's like an eternal RUSH!"

Based on the contents of these two pages alone, I imagine the rest of the book is pure delight.

As my friend Aviva pointed out, the guy on the left would have to be high to buy that shirt. (Although those of us who were kids in the early 70s have an excuse for wearing similar clothing--our moms dressed us in the colorful patterns and plaids and stripes of the day, forever banishing our early school pictures to the "Making Our Eyes Bleed" section of the family album.)

UPDATE: OK, Aviva has located the complete book! The glossary in itself is an absolute riot. Enjoy!

Apparently it's the book Life's Greatest Trip by Arthur Blessitt.

every time i point out those hideous outfits, my mother says, "Aviva... it was your favorite outfit."

I'm off to smoke some matzoh balls - and get CHAI.
