Charlie Brown: Why is he such a hippie?

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I'm watching these Charlie Brown specials, and dude, he sounds like a fucking Berkeley student or sonmething with his rants against commercialism. And Linus, is he a born again Christian or something?

Also: if ILx were all Peanuts characters, who would each person be?

actually, i think charlie brown was a skinhead

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

any ally would definitely be Lucy, no question about it

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

And Linus, is he a born again Christian or something?

yo, i saw a grown-up Linus in Grand Central handing out The Watchtower to passers-by!

Charlie Brown is bald but not a nazi, listen to him rage against the machine!!! What the hell?

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think Nate Patrin is Charlie Brown and Simon Trife is Lucy.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

not all skins are nazis -- charlie brown is a SHARP (skinhead against racial prejudice)!

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

hanle y would be Snoopy

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

Haha, if he was so against racial prejudice then why isn't he friendlier with Franklin! Hell, they even invite PIG PEN to their parties, but not poor Franklin.

Hanley is Snoopy. Which Tad just also posted.

This was disappointing.

pig pen is the real hippy amongst the peanuts posse -- 'cause he's so dirty

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

Pig Pen is Otis Wheeler.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Charlie Brown is a hipie because he was rountinely made to feel the need for love, thus he wanted to be "part of the crowd" , and smoked all the hash he could score

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

actually, hanle y's description of Charlie Brown makes him sound more like Morrissey than a hippie!

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well everyone was always telling him he was going about things the wrong way. He's just human and he wants to be loved. Just like everybody else does.

If Peanuts were all bands that goths liked, who would be Robert Smith?

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

peppermint patty

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

i would say Sally, but i think she'd be into Mary J. Blige and Jay Z.

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

Lucy is Siouxsie Sioux.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

schroeder would be captain beefheart

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hahaha but who is Killing Joke?? Snoopy?

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

definitely ... running off to Iceland because you think that the apocalypse is near-at-hand, and hanging with a teenaged Bjork, is definitely something Snoopy would do

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

Marcie is some 4AD band or other

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

Linus = Bob Dylan

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

no way ... Marcie would be some chick from Sleater-Kinney

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

The little red headed girl is Mylene Farmer.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

woodstock = maureen tucker

Those twins that do that crazy dance where they don't move anything but their feet in a weird shuffle, they are Britney and Christina.

wasn't one of the kids on-stage moon-walking? or doing the robot? it was the black kid, right?

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

but sleater kinney aren't goth ?!?!?!?!!1

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 9 December 2002 02:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

Probably the black kid. He'd be every rapper ever.

jim, we have left goth and are just going after everyone now. Linus would be Amy Grant.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

ok yer right ... marcie can be elisabeth frasier

so long as there's no Jonsi Birgisson or Eddie Vedder in the Peanuts crowd, i'm cool!

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

on second thought, maybe marcie would be either Melissa Etheridge or Phranc ... she always seemed like such a little lesbian

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

linus would be some band on Tooth & Nail

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

or pedro the lion!

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

I thought Peppermint Patty was the lesbian.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

i think peppermint patty was bi ... she was always trying to bust a move on charlie brown, you know

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

which point buttresses the charlie brown=morrissey idea a la "pretty girls make graves" ("She wants it Now/ And she will not wait / But she's too rough and I'm too delicate.")

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

Peppermint Patty is considered a "Dykon" at this site. (registration required, so I'm reprinting the article below)

Once upon a time, we were tousled young tomboys who excelled at sport and had a noticeable soft spot for the geography teacher.

We raced home from school to steal 30 minutes with Batgirl, flicked on `LA Law` and imagined swapping briefs with Amanda Donohoe, and secretly stuck tatty and slightly damp pictures of Daisy Duke in our diaries. Our story is your story. Don’t even try to deny it.

Now, on a regular basis, we present those icons who, past and present, have driven our hormones into a collective clammy frenzy. (And feel free to suggest your dykons, too.)

Name
Peppermint Patty

Also known as
“Sir”

Other claims to fame
She’s the scruffy baby butch character in the long-running ‘Peanuts’ cartoon.

Not to be confused with
Lucy, the super bitch, or Lucy, Charlie Brown’s ultra-cute younger sister.

Why a Dykon?
She is constantly trailed by a specky little geek called Marcie, who worships her and calls her “Sir” to her face. Peppermint Patty is also unencumbered by ‘The Beauty Myth’. Like a true 1970s dyke, she wears scruffy tomboy clothes, has a very non-girly hairdo, is pretty good at sports, and doesn’t get pushed around by any of the boy characters. She’d probably refuse to shave her legs if she was old enough to have hair on them.

Last seen
Chewin’ the fat over the garden fence with Linus, the blanket-toting toddler.

Best feature
She’s a loyal and kind friend to the comic strip’s main character, Charlie Brown.

Candy Bar or Kenric?
With those sandals, it’s got to be Kenric.

Most likely to say
“Stop calling me Sir!”

Least likely to say
“Can I borrow your kitten heels tonight? I’ve got a hot date.”

Is she a sista?
Does a bear shit in the woods?

Do mention
Her triumphant season on the football pitch

Don`t mention
Her strange and ambiguous relationship with the much younger, clearly unsuitable and deeply impressionable Marcie

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

marcie is a lipstick lesbian!

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

You'd be surprised to find out who is.

I can't concentrate on Peanuts cos I've come across a picture of myself I put up as a joke on Rate My Picture like 3 years ago that's STILL THERE - what the hell?

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

what was your rating?

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Pig Pen = GG Allin?

― webcrack (music=crack), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

pig pen likes dirt, not shit. and he ain't no rapist.

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

pig pen = elliott smith?

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

yeah, he was the dirtiest I could think of just now but it is a bit of an insult to pig pen.

― webcrack (music=crack), Monday, 9 December 2002 03:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

When I'm lost...in the rain
In your eyes I know I'll find the light
To light my way
When I'm scared
Losing ground
When my world is going crazy
You can turn it all around
And when I'm down you're there
Pushing me to the top
You're always there giving me all you've got

For a shield, from the storm
For a friend, for a love
to keep me safe and warm
I turn to menses
For the strength, to be strong
For the will to carry on
For everything you do
For everything that's true
I turn to men-seeeeeeees

Let us not forget that LA is home to a radio station called KLIT.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:21 (nineteen years ago) link

And for those of a more new wave bent:

You act so tough
But I know what you're doing
You think falling in love
Means falling to ruin
You build your walls so high
You act your life out all alone
You don't want to let me see
That your heart's not made out of stone

There may be some explanation
Why you feel the way you do
The world makes its rotations
But I just want to turn to menses
Come on let me turn to menses
Please let me turn to menses
Why not let me turn to menses
Just want to turn to menses

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:21 (nineteen years ago) link
