BX 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post 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?

BX 0 Report post 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."

BX 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BX 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can't be replicated so the only few remaining magic carpets are being used by Big Foot and the Amish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Danny Dubya v 2.0 Report post 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 Report post 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?
