Grey Matter Pudding
Hitchers: the
ignored minority
by Thad Kreisher
Entertainment Editor
Ah, the first issue is here. It’s
always frightening putting out a
first issue. New editor, new year,
new advisor and new staff. You
just never know what might hap­
pen. Well, at least I still get to
keep my column.
I suppose, it being a new year
and all, that the standard in­
troductory paragraph is in-order.
Don’t worry, I’ll belbrief. If you
can read then vou already know
it’s called Grey Matter Pudding.
Sometimes it can be good and
sometimes it’s just plain stupid,
but it’s more of a column than
you’ve got, so don’t complain.
When I was little, I remember
every time we passed a hitphiker, my
mother would sav “Never pick
up a hitchiker or you’ll get knif­
ed.” This, of course, is utter
nonsense.
Since that time I have done my
share of hitchiking, and every
time a-mother in acar with her
child passes me by (women with
children never stop), I swear I see
her “mouth” the same thing.
These last .three days, due to a
slight brake failure, I was once
again reduced to hitchiking as my
major mode of transportation. I
saw a lot of mothers with kids,
pass by. Come on now moms,
one day it could be your kid out
there.
Anyhow, the point is, even
though hitchiking can be a pain
imder popo, (as my German in­
structor would say). It can also
be a very different experience for
several defferent reasons.
In today’s world, there is often
little, time ..for thought (cliche’ I
know, but please bear with me).
Things tend tQ . move rather
quickly. I rediscovered some­
thing' this weekend, that hitchik­
ing is great for the thought pro­
cess. It’s not really the most eff­
icient mode of transportation.
Especially if you’ve got to get
somewhere fast, but it is good for
thinking. This is because a good
ninety-eight percent of the people
who pass you are under the im-
¡pression that in all likelihood, i
you are a knife/wielding psycho­
path who spends his weekends
butchering anyone who give you
a ride.
’ Nothing, of course, could be
farther from the truth. You just
don’t butcher every Tom, Dick
and Harry that picks you up. I
mean, it’s, got to be the right per­
son.
'
What I can’t stand are the hit-
chikers that don’t utilize the
international extended thumb
sign. When picking up a hitcher,
I always go by a rule of thumb:
no thumb, no ride.
The strange thing about hit­
ching is that young people never
give you a ride. -The only people
who ever give rides (generally
speaking) are older working dass
types. Everyone else is just too
scared for some reason. But
what the hell, I have more intell­
igent conversations in one day
with people who give me rides
than I do in a week with the aver­
age college student. I’d almost go
as far as tri say that I get more
practical knowledge from them
also.
But, unfortuately, they
don’t give you a little white
diploma for hitchiking,
Something really ironic is that
on Sunday, none of the people
returning from church would give
me a ride. Not that it’s necessary
to pick up hitchikersfor salvation
mind you, but I do recall’hearing
something about charity and
compassion somewhere in the
Christian doctrine. But I suppose
it’s o.k. to forget those things
- when you’re in imminent danger
of being knifed bya college stu­
dent with broken brakes, right?
Oh, by the way, will the person
who has the Queen Mary docked
outside , of Student Publications
please shove off.
