Origin of "to drink the kool-aid"
I'm requesting a source that can authoritatively track "drinking the kool-aid" to the Merry Pranksters--or, indeed, to any date earlier than the mid-1980s. This sounds pretty dubious, but I'm happy to be proved wrong. Making similar edit to Kool-Aid. --Craigkbryant 20:50, 31 October 2006 (UTC) Having waited a week, I am removing this assertion from the article. I have made a similar change to Kool-Aid, and added a reference to that article giving the Jonestown version of the origin.--Craigkbryant 14:16, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Membership in the Pranksters
I removed the following as POV, OR, and unreferenced.
- People who consider themselves Pranksters in spirit are said to be "on the bus" whether or not they ever actually took a bus trip with Kesey. In other words, the bus has become a metaphor for the lifestyle of anyone who is in solidarity with the psychedelic movement and who encourages others to have 'mind-expanding' experiences, with or without drugs.
- Kesey was strict about what should constitute a proper prank. He said a successful prank must not physically hurt anyone, and the person being pranked must in some way be enlightened by the experience.
If anyone can find a source for any of this, and rewrite it for proper balance, feel free to do so. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 18:20, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
