Five Things….John and Yoko Would be Doing for Peace Today

john lennon yoko ono

In the spring of 1969 John Lennon and Yoko Ono staged “Bed-Ins” at the Amsterdam Hilton and the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, staying in bed for a week at a time…for peace. To commemorate the 38th anniversary of those historic events, here are five things John and Yoko would be doing for peace today.

-Bowl-Ins (watching every college football bowl game over the holiday period…for peace)

-Bake-Ins (doing continuous bong hits in front of the television…for peace)

-Boil-Ins (eating nothing but English cuisine…for peace)

-Breathe-Ins (breathing non-stop…for peace)

-Bank-Ins (counting their money…for peace)

    I like the alliteration. In keeping with that, might I suggest that, if John were still alive, perhaps he could do a Bran-In — keeping himself regular … for peace.

    Nicely done. You could just keep this going forever:
    -Belt-Ins (holding up his pants….for peace)
    -Break-Ins (robbing the neighbors….for peace)

    hee! The sad, SAD part is that as pathetic as these measures were, at least it was an ATTEMPT to spread peace. I blogged some time ago about the Great Peace March, Hands Across America and other attempts at spreading peace thru the world back in the 80s. Granted, none of that worked any better than anything ELSE tried, including Ghandi and Mother Teresa, but at least it was an attempt. I feel depressed by what appears to be a total LACK of proactive peace-bringing.

    Though I would TOTALLY sit in front of the TV smokin’ weed for a week. I’ve got a kingsize mattress, so everyone’s invited to my pad for a week!!

    Of course this is a pretty cynical take on peace protests but after reading your recent post (http://fbitn.blogspot.com/2007/06/amusing-justaposition-of-temperal.html), its clear why I’m like this: I’m Gen-X !!!!

    Yeah, now that I brought it up, that Bake-In for peace sounds pretty groovy. Who else is in?

    alright, our Bake-In is gaining momentum !!! Can world peace be far off?

    If the food is free I’m all about the peace.

    This is turning into a regular “Bongs across America” !!! And to think Big Orange was worried about a lack of pro-active peace bringing.

    Peace Train’s sounding louder !!!!
