haribol-ing for columbine

Ha! A few of the schploggers were just making fun of people who overuse the word Harbibol when we found this on Urban Dictionary. Oh how gloriously synchronistic are the ways of the universe, haribol haribol.

It was defined as follows:

 
A classical example of overgeneric Hare Krishna jargon. The equivalent of “Hey”, “Hello”, “Have a nice day”, “Good night”,etc. Bears a semblance [sic] to the way the Smurfs use the noun “smurf” and the verb “smurfing”, though not as widely applicable.

Haribol Ma’am, I’d like to sell you a book. No? OK, thanks anyway and haribol!

Of course, as the gummi bear people say, “Haribol macht Kinder froh!”

Oh, sorry, that’s HARIBO.
