BX Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Why do they call it sitting "Indian Style?" Do you seriously expect me to believe that the Europeans didn't think to sit down with their legs crossed? Damn yall.
Guest FrigidSoul Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Can't you let the Native Americans keep something? I mean god, first we steal their secrets of growing crops, then we steal their land, then we throw disease ridden blankets on them...now you want to steal their way of sitting? You my friend are a sad, sad man
BX Posted February 24, 2004 Author Report Posted February 24, 2004 And don't for one second try to convince me that the pilgrims landed on the shores of Massachutsets, walked into the woods, saw an Indian giving an Indian burn to another Indian, and said, "By God, I never thoughteth of that before, verily."
Slayer Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 I thought sitting Indian style meant laying on the sidewalk with a bottle of whiskey

You my friend are a sad, sad man And you end it with a pic of a guy who's not even a Native American
Guest FrigidSoul Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you!
BX Posted February 24, 2004 Author Report Posted February 24, 2004 Now that I think about it, the term probably originated for a style of sitting popular among the people of the Indus valley. You know, in India. Not Indiana. I actually took time off from work to think about this.

OldSchoolWrestling Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Indian style is the best way to balance on a flying carpet.
1234-5678 Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Sitting Indian style makes your penis appear smaller then it actually is.
justsoyouknow Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Indian style is the best way to balance on a flying carpet. But Arabs fly flying carpets. Why isn't it "Arab Style"?
Dr. Tom Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Because we hated the Arabs, even back then. Duh.
BX Posted February 24, 2004 Author Report Posted February 24, 2004 Actually, they did fly the carpets, it's true. But they didn't know about Indian Style, and it's optimal effects on flying said carpets. The Arabs sat with the left leg in the air, as a rudder. While this was good for steering, it was not good for staying on the carpet.

justsoyouknow Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Oh. I should have known that. Sigfried and Roy magic or David Copperfield magic?
razazteca Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Somebody saw it on the classic tv western Gunsmoke then all of a sudden it became a standard.
Guest EQ Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 I hope this thread ends up being classic
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 I hope this thread ends up being classic Well you ruined it.

They actually continued flying never to be seen again. That's why there are so few these days. They can't be replicated so the only few remaining magic carpets are being used by Big Foot and the Amish.
Guest stardust Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Apparently, the new politically correct term is "criss cross applesauce." That makes even less sense than "Indian style."
1234-5678 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 no. They were magic, dumbass. I've eaten magic carpet...........
Guest BDC Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 criss-cross APPLESAUCE?! What in the blue hell is wrong with oranges? Hmmmm?
Guest Danny Dubya v 2.0 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Well gluh! Indian style sitting is globviously for poseur enlightened ones that wanna get in touch with their more boring quiet inner naturalist grandfather! It hurts my back though. It, like, causes insta-slouch that I can't possibly defeat. I'd rather lie down to fill thoughts of the erasure of all thoughts in my mind than aggravate that back pain.
Guest stardust Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 criss-cross APPLESAUCE?! What in the blue hell is wrong with oranges? Hmmmm? I have no idea. I was working at a photography studio and moms would tell their kids "criss cross applesauce" and they would sit Indian style. I asked one mom one time "Whatever happened to Indian style?" Her: "Apparently they don't like using that term anymore." Criss cross applesauce just sounds stupid. What the hell does applesauce have to do with sitting down?
Corey_Lazarus Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Well, can YOU think of a better way to eat applesauce than sitting Indian-style?!
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Its not Indian style, its camp style. You fucking racists.
Guest stardust Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Well, can YOU think of a better way to eat applesauce than sitting Indian-style?! Actually, yeah, I can.
BX Posted February 26, 2004 Author Report Posted February 26, 2004 Naked, in the fetal position. On a magic carpet ride, WELL..
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 If you're flexible enough, your legs can sit Pretzel style....which is the same god damn thing except a slight ankle action.
