Anvil Shooting is the Best Thing Ever!

"Eco-Friendly" Autos Behaving Badly.

This, ladies and gentlemen, may be the start of a gangland street fued over the supremecy of all "green" cars. Aparently, while the others were stopped at a signal of some sort, the silver danish Prius was so over come with envy due to it's own poor self image that it rammed the burnt umber Tesla Roadster under the Diesel TDI Toureg. We have no other information regarding injuries but from the looks of it the occupants should be fine.

If this is any kind of commentary on who is winning the green wars, it appears the diesel is on top.

Carbon Offsets, buy now on eBay!

Are you a hippie looking for a way to improve your Aura? Do you have a hippie friend with a birthday coming up and no idea what to get them? Might we suggest the Carbon Offset Bio-Pack! That's right, found on Facebook's ad column, you can buy this Earth saving product on eBay for $12.99! What a deal!

So, you might be asking yourself, 'what exactly is a Carbon Offset Bio-Pack'? Well, if we dissect the description on the eBay listing:

Utilizing a unique rapid photosynthesis process discovered as a virtual miracle of science, the Carbon Offset Bio-PackTM actually converts carbon dioxide emitted by cars, factories and other big oil interests into pure, fresh oxygen WITHOUT consuming electricity and other energies that contribute to global warming.
With minor maintenance, your Carbon Offset Bio-PackTM units will actually increase production of oxygen the longer they are sustained. Can be used indoors or out. Requires a very small amount of water to continue processing.

Hmm, lets think about this...photosynthesis, converts CO2, requires water...what could it be? Seeds, it has to be seeds. 13 bucks for some tomato seeds or whatever. What I really like about this is that some capitalist is making money off the sky is falling eco-freaks. Bravo, keep up the good work.

Candidate of the Week: EATR! Darpa is leading the way in HEP technology!

A company that is working with DARPA is developing on a proof of concept robot that uses bio-mass as fuel. That is right, it eats! Now, if you have read our mission statement you know where this is going....

Before we get too deep into the potential of this machine, lets talk about what the plan is. Robot Technology Inc.'s Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot or ( he he, wait for it) E.A.T.R. ( we are not making this up) is designed to run on anything that will burn but, especially organic material including vegetation, wood, old furniture and animals. E.A.T.R. could change the landscape of warfare as we could unleash our carnivorous bots into a theater of war to consume our enemies. Save bullets, eat people.

But weapons are not really why we are here. While cool, we are here it save the Earth by utilizing hippies. The true beauty of the E.A.T.R. is not the bot platform itself, which is really just speculation at this point but the engine. We have a real contender for our first actual Hippie Engine.

The Cyclone Engine, developed by Cyclone Power Technologies is a self contained, steam driving external combustion engine, capable of 850 ft/lbs of starting torque! Fuel is burned in a centrifugal combustion chamber that super heats water which expands to power a radial piston set-up. What is really cool is that the water is in a closed loop so there is no need to add water like ye-olde steam trains. CPT has tested many different fuels from diesel to orange peels and this thing burns anything, ANYTHING!

So what have we learned kiddies? Well, if all goes as planned, hippies really can save the world, by POWERING THE FUTURE! Or getting shoved down a E.A.T.R.'s gullet during a peace rally. Either way I think I am going to buy some tech stock.

UPDATE: So apparently RTI was not as enthusiastic about the people eating properties of the E.A.T.R. as we were. After the media blitz last week, they released a statement that says E.A.T.R is strictly vegetarian. That's right, the potential hippie engine is a hippie itself! While a setback, it isn't something that a little tinkering can't fix. Once E.A.T.R. gets a taste of hippie, I don't think tofu will cut it.

Georgia Mom trying to give young drivers a scarlet letter.

Susie Kessler wants everyone to know that her child is a bad driver. Driving in her home state of Georgia scares this moonbat shitless so she of course projected this fear on her child. To make damn sure everyone on the road knew that her son was doomed to fail, she designed a magnet that warns people of this. In her own words:

I was a nervous driver with the traffic, and I thought, how am I going to let this kid get on the highway? I've got to do something about this. … I've got to put something on the car that lets everybody know that he's just learning how to drive. So we worked on a design. I wanted to have something positive, so instead of saying "New Driver," or something that the child would be embarrassed about, we said "Newly Licensed."

What amounts to a modern scarlet letter, the 'Newly Licensed' magnet will single out young drivers and cause them to be targeted by any number of road ragers, police or just your run of the mill, middle class Micheal Jackson wanna be. Taking her claim that 15,000 people have purchased her magnets already (none of these are joke gifts I'm sure), she is trying to push a law that makes all new drivers required to bare the mark of the beast.

Susie, darling, fuck off. Making your magnets a legal requirement for all new drivers is a pretty thin way to sell a draconian product. Young drivers are already visible, they are then ones driving crappy late models with either giant Auto-zone wings or pink seat covers. If you are one of the silly parents that give your kid the keys to a new car then that is on your head but, don't worry it will be a crappy late model soon enough. I would rather let my kid get stupid tattooed on her forehead before I let her car bare a pedo-signal. If you want your kid to be safe on the road, teach them how to drive a car. It is called parenting, they have books on it.

Hippie Engine Project: Candidate of the week - The Riney Rotary

Introducing (unless you already received this investment video)the Riney Rotary Engine, the engine for the new millenium. The good, the engine can run on anything that will burn. The bad, this design exsists only in 3-D renderings and crude bench prototypes. But hey that is what the HEP is all about, finding fresh tech to put hippies to good use. Be advised, after the 'engineer' says what the engine could do, then the 'businessman' hits the viewer up for money, at that point it is about over.

UPDATE: Our research team has discovered that there is actually someone developing a Riney Rotary.  From our evaluation, this tech might still be a ways out.  Check the video below.

Billy May tribute on Discovery, tonight at 9 pm.

Thursday, July 9th Discovery pays tribute to the one and only Billy Mays Jr.  They will be airing a special farewell episode of 'Pitchmen'.

Billy Mays is one of a long list of people that I wish I could have had the chance to meet.  Sometimes stars do burn out too soon.  Billy will be missed.

Al Gore: Man Bear Pig is a Nazi

So, apparently the spread of the Third Reich is akin to the threat of global warming. That is, according to Al 'I invented the interwebs' Gore. In a speech at Oxford University at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment in the UK, Al mentioned that, like Winston Churchill's rally for cause against the Nazi's is his call for the de-industrialization of the known world. Check it out the video of him blathering on about the liberal in charge and the fact that there is carbon in soil. No-shit Sherlock, soil is made of dead organic matter, which is carbon based. What would we ever do without him?

Sarah to Alaska: You are on your own bitches!

At the end of this month, the coldest state in the nation will no longer have the coolest gov'ner.  Sarah "the pitbull" Palin is stepping down from her post as governor of Alaska.  It seems she believes that being a part of the establishment is hindering her larger goals as a leader.  If that means a possible bid for the big seat in 2012 remains to be seen but, right now she is going in a different direction.  We will be keeping an eye on her either way. You betcha'.

Everyone say hi Shaweet 84!

The Hippie Engine Project is proud to introduce our newest contributor, Shaweet 84.  Sorry about the profile pic, it is the most recent we could find of our new man.  Shaweet is a hard working health care professional with some hard hitting and to the point observations on todays America.  Expect some bitting commentary from this wannabe pirate. 

Your New Bible.

As a new contributor to this blog, I feel it is my duty as an American patriot to introduce you to perhaps what will go down as one of the finest pieces of literature to ever rock your face. This book can invoke 2 different reactions, depending on the reader. The first reaction will be to pump your fist in the air, and agree on almost every single character written. The second is to cry, and live in denial of being on the wrong side of the issues tackled throughout this amazing journey. A few highlights- taken from Theodocious Atrocious' website (I didn't necessarily ask permission, but Uncle Ted's an understanding guy):

In Ted, White, and Blue you'll discover:

• Why war is the answer to so many of our current problems
• Why if Ted were a Mexican, he'd start a revolution (and how, since he’s not, we can control our own borders)
• How to put Uncle Sam on a diet (a waste-watchers program for government)
• The Ted Plan for energy independence by 2018 & how to keep America rockin’ into the future
• How to change the world for the better through the power of God, guns, and rock ‘n’ roll

An awesome read, from an awesome man, dedicated to preserve this awesome country.
Rock on.

Not all cartoons rot your brain. State funded schools might.

Billy Mays 1958-2009

This Sunday we lost a man who stood as a guide and testament to the American Dream.  Billy Mays, pitchman and infomercial king has passed on.  The cause of death is not known yet.  At a mere 50 years of age, it was far too soon to see a man who, only within the last decade watched his years of working fairs and boardwalks pay off.  Most recently Billy Mays took us behind the blue shirt with his show "Pitchmen" on Discovery channel.  A family man and a supporter of those with big dreams Billy Mays will be missed.  

Average American: Reduce your carbon footprint, kill yourself!

According to a study by MIT in 2008, every American, even the homeless, destitute, garbage eating ones have a higher average 'carbon footprint' then the median average of the world. At 8.5 tons of 'CO2', the average base carbon emissions of any American is over twice the world average at 4 tonnes.

So what does all this mean? Well, it means two things as we at HEP see it. The most obvious is that the aborigines in the far flung corners of the world are not pulling their weight in the industrial revolution and making the rest of us look bad. We in the USA have a solid infrastructure of first responders, police, public transportation and utilities to enjoy, making us look bad. Mud huts it is then, I suppose.

The second and by far not least important issue this study brings up is that fact that if you are an 'Eco Warrior' in America, the best thing you can do for your cause is kill yourself. If you are dead then you are no longer part of the problem and mother earth will give you some pixie dust in whale heaven or something. One could argue that a dedicated tree hugger could have lots of barefooted hippie babies to dilute the average. But that would be futile and wrong as babies are just oxygen burning shit factories and 'The Man' would tax them to build more power plants so they can play video games.

So, if you want to save the Earth in America, kill yourself.

Cap & Tax - The Truth

The sky is falling and now we have a speedometer!

NYC has yet another reason to panic, a brand new digital carbon dioxide counter. Now, every morning commuters along 7th avenue get to be bummed out by the very fact that they exist. Just breathing means more CO2 in the air.

So, this 70 story blame machine must be free of its own debt to the Earth right? Well no, not really. See, it uses 'low' energy lighting which is spin for 'still uses some juice' and it's on the grid. But it has the grid thing covered. Yah get this, Carbon Offsets! Apparently from Europe too, we wouldn't want to horde all the carbon offsets for America, they need to trick companies out of money have trees planted across the pond too.

"But, it tells us all how much CO2 we are putting into the air!"

Well, no, it doesn't, not really. According to none other then Newsweak , the numbers on the ticker are bullshit. Yah, some 'advisers' at MIT came up with an algorithm that approximates the CO2 in terms of bad things that they think might happen. The Goreists don't know if they are coming or going.

Bottom line, I think this thing should sense what is in the air and react to it. If they are going to pull this stunt then why not put a PPM (parts per million) sniffer in the board and just sample the air quality in Times Square? It would have the same effect. Then to contrast, upload data from Mammoth caves in Kentucky which has some of the purest air in the U.S.

In reality I just want to roll up under the sign in a stinky diesel rig and watch the board peg as I pump black smoke into it. Cause I'm a sicko but, at least I am not a hypocrite.

Read this: In case of Zombies..or Hippies.

At a certain point in time, we all have to evaluate our own ability to survive. Most people limit this assessment to whether or not they have enough fuel to reach Starbucks and snag a $10 coffee, but those of us that tend to keep our knives sharp and our flashlights handy take it a step further. For your consideration, the Hippie Engine Project offers 'The Zombie Survival Guide' by the current master of all things undead, Max Brooks. In this unassuming manual, all the information needed to understand, evade and destroy masses of marauding ghouls is contained. From physiology to patterns of behavior to weapon selection, this simple book will give you a fighting chance of surviving the apocalypse.

And that is where the paths of zombie knowledge and hippie engine tech cross, a catastrophe by any other name is still an apocalypse. Be it caused by a virus that renders the human brain independent of oxygen or liberal media that renders a weak mind independent of thought the tactics are the same. It can be argued that a horde of hippies will be more dangerous then a horde of undead as they can run, communicate with each other and their victims, a fate many consider worse then death.

So, don't be a victim, be a survivor. Own and know 'The Zombie Survival Guide' and be ready for the Obamalypse.

The great masses of the people... will more easily fall victims to a great lie than to a small one.

Introducing the 2012 Pelosi Gti SS/RT Sport Edition! Huzzah, GM is saved.

Have no fear, our leaders have told us what we want to buy in a car and here it is! It meets all government standards known to man, except for the minimum speed limit. Enjoy!

Deep Thoughts

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

Who killed GM: Hippies did it!

GM filed Bankruptcy today. While they will survive in the long run, the dark days are upon us. While the blame for such a thing can be aimed at many factors, gawker.com pointed out one that is glaringly obvious, HIPPIES!

"The Hippies

Wah wah we want an electric car the hippies all said. And so California made Detroit build an electric car. But it was expensive, and real Americans, who only buy cars based on how loud, big, and cheap they are (gas is still so cheap whee!), didn't want anything to do with the EV1.

Now G.M. is sinking billions into the Chevy Volt, an all-electric car that will cost twice as much as a Prius, and still be a Chevy, so no one will want it."

We agree, but that is only one part of the collapse of the biggest car company in the US of A. Check out the rest of the finger pointing here

Contribute to the shove a hippie off a bridge relief fund.

If you hadn't heard, a 66 year old ex-soldier in China 'helped' a would be suicidist down from a bridge. No, the jumper didn't go ker-splat, the gentleman helped him into a police air-bag. The point is that this guy is our hero. His name is Lai Jiansheng and he has been held up in traffic jams at that bridge 11 times since April. After 5 hours in traffic this time around enough was enough.

Acording to Lai,

"I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interest," Lai told Saturday's China Daily. "They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities' attention to their appeals."

Lai is now in jail, as is the man who caused the issue. I don't know about you but, I wouldn't loose sleep over sending Lai a few bucks to help cover legal costs, as he set a global predicent for 'shut up and jump' tactics. Bravo Lai, you are our hero!

(UPDATE) : Lai is out of jail on bond. No word on what charges are leveled against him.
