Imagine there's no oil,
I wonder if you can.
Only backbreaking toil,
Like ancient Kaffiristan.
Imagine all the people,
On subsistence diets.
You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one.
Someday you'll be forced to join us,
In Year Zero we'll live as one.

Pacifists and they wear bright red robes to distinguish themselves from the rest of the population. China sure picked a good religion to crack down on.

The road to enlightenment ... Stuckys at the next exit.

Don't you just hate it when there is a traffic jam on the road to enlightenment?

Road rage Tibetan style ... I'm seeing red.

At first people thought it strange for the Chinese government to import foreign cultural events, unfortunately it is now clear why China wanted to import the running of the bulls to Tibet.

So your saying the monks are like Scotsmen wearing kilts only more so? I guess it would cut down on laundry bills.

Oh great. First time I get out of the monastery since winter started and everyone else is wearing the exact same thing.

It's Dalai Lama jumping out to an early lead follow by Dalai Lama ,Dalai Lama ,and Dalai Lama, with Dalai Lama moving up on the outside as they go into the first turn.

And oh, dear, Dalai Lama has blown out a sneaker, and has landed in the ditch surrounding the first turn. We hope the Dalai Lama is not injured, but the radar guns say he WAS doing over 80mph at the time of the sneaker failure.

(Color guy) Have you ever had a sneaker blow out on YOU at 80mph, Nigel?
