The Hippystories

'These stories need explanation, yet are virtually beyond it.' - The New York Times *

'Holmes seems so two dimensional next to the Semihippy.' - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle *

'I don't know, for God's sake I'm a doctor not an author!' - Admiral Leonard McCoy*

* these are complete lies

These are the Hippystories

Originally about some of the students on or near the electronics degree course at Kingston Polytechnic (now University) circa 1987-8. These stories were written by Stuart Aust (Inspector Jethro) in a simple text editor on the campus VAX8600 and Emailed around to everyone who made the mistake of showing an interest.

With the characters gone from day to day life, they quickly achieved legendary status.

Years after the last of the characters had left, the stories were still circulating around the poly. Their popularity grew, reaching a level some two years after I left that computing services banned people from printing them because of the paper usage. I actually obtained these files about six years after that from Hong Kong.

Enjoy!

This site contains foul language, depraved behaviour, wierd people and a really crap storyline. It should not be veiwed by anyone.


Part 1 The first experimental tale. The Hippy was living on the lounge floor of the Semihippy's house in Dagmar Road at the time, dreaming of heavy metal, socks and a certain Kawasaki GPZ 750turbo (yawn).
Part 2 Defying all sense, Stuart didn't stop there and wrote a sequel. After several negative drug tests, he was allowed to release it. The Hippy is in space - there's more than just strange smells floating around.
Part 3 The Hippy's socks have escaped......
Part 4 The Hippy meets Sludge, the most animate thing that could be his sidekick without ending up with the lead role. He also obtains super-powers along with several pairs of tights.
Part 5 Enter, the Semihippy, the most evil medium-hair-lengthed individual on the face of the planet. The Hippy's arch-nemesis, Bastard Semihippy IV, last in a long line of bastards, has a plan!
Part 6Inspector Jethro, PC MadChris and The Bosh are on the case.
Is any criminal safe? Hmmmm, let me see.
Part 7 Did someone say 750turbo?
(yawn)
Part 8 The BSH has gone to ground, with good reason, he now has the smelliest superhero ever as well as the UKs least competant police after him. If they manage to get the help of Dodgy Dave it could be curtains for him. (woolly ones).
Part 9Finally, the BSH gets his sidekick, it only took a hefty bribe to the author. Meet the Wandering Minstrel (apparently, not hefty enough). Safe in his second base BSH re-groups. However the forces of alkahol are drawing in.(or colouring in or something)
Part 10Part 10 The Hermit, is he a force for good? Commander Biggles, is he a force for good? Captain Bwyers, is he a force for good? The Hippy, why doesn't he give up for good?
Part 11Part 11 Oooo! That wasn't very nice, Commander Biggles!..... The Hippy now has a Jacket to match his straight jeans. The Wandering Minstel becomes a pawn and the telephones are still dying! The PM demands answers.....
Part 12Part 12Don't be distracted by Olesmokey, it's just the authors alcohol induced hallucinations. The BSH's plan is working, the phoons, sorry, phones are still dying. With the Hippy among his equals, only SuperSludge can help now, but the Bosh 'has' him........
