Do Hare Khrishnas still hang out at airports?
What do they do?
Do they chant?
Do they dance?

Inquiring minds need to know...I have a story idea and this is pertinent to it.

Thank you in advance.

Namaste. :rose:

I don't think so. They're considered a threat to national security. And that was BEFORE 9-11. :D

Damn, I should have waited before I shaved my head. :rolleyes:
 
Can't help you. Haven't been inside an airport in over a decade.

I do know that here in Toronto they no longer make their 1:28 PM run south on our main drag, nor their 4:47 PM return trek. Complete with chanting and dancing.

What has life come to when you can't find a Khrishna when you need one?

A screeching halt? A point of spiritual serenity? The corner drugstore?
Or was that a rhetorical question?

It was metaphysical...I'm on a higher plane than you.
 
I have been in airports in five or six major cities this year alone. Not a hide nor hair of a Khrishnas or Moonies. I don't think they are allowed anymore.

Well there goes my story idea...fucking karma. :mad:

Okay, threadjack away then. :rolleyes:
 
I haven't seen or heard them anywhere in years. I like that.

I've been to many airports in the US since 2000, and the Hare Krishnas are sadly nowhere to be found anymore, unless they are passengers. They were a bright spot in an otherwise dreary experience.

LAX does have some sort of 'approved' religious solicitation thing going on, though. After you get your boarding pass, you take an escalator to the second floor in order to go through security and to the gates. These people stand at the bottom of the escalators, and they don't speak, but just hand out literature if you want it. You could pretend they're Hare Krishnas, but they don't wear saffron robes.

I don't have to ride in cargo. :p

Neither do I! With a little bit of contoritonism and a lot of pain killers, I fit into the overhead unit.
 
My dad told me that it got to be such a problem with religious groups and solicitors making people late for their planes, that the powers that be put the skids to any such type of solicitation. I don't care what they're selling, I don't want any. :rolleyes:

I'll watch for pellets in the aisle when I ever fly.


Thanks everyone, must come up with a new idea....bastards.

How about replacing the religious types with Egyptian camel dung merchants? Will the story still make sense?

I hated the 70's...but good idea. Hippie girl :kiss:


Alpaca: I've missed you more than my medication.

*flutters eyelashes*

I have fewer side effects and am carred by more HMO's.

Especially if the Alpaca is known to bite doctors.
Funny how that works.
Hey, so do I...let's skip through a meadow together and then go for ice cream.
