Totally doesn't matter.

Pick the one that's easiest to read.

those poor hungry boys... I met some on the plaza. They are just adorable in those colors. I was messing with one of them. He told me why they were vegetarian and I asked him "If we are supposed to be vegetarians, how come animals are made of meat?"* We laughed for 20 minutes.

The only Pischna I ever saw was Schirmer.

I consider myself a second order vegetarian, eating either vegetables, or things that themselves eat vegetables.

Which thing, Gold?

The Pischna, the Krishna, the uncontrollable laughter, or eating only pre-chewed vegetables? laugh

Oh, ok. The Hari Krishna is a religious order, originally from India, that became well known in the United States during the 60's and 70's, due in part to references made to them in some Beatles songs. (ahemmm ... a popular British band of the time)

They made money by soliciting (or begging) or trading tracts with gaudy covers for "donations", mainly in airports, where their shaved heads and orange flowing robes were an unwelcome sight to many. They tended to be annoyingly persistent. Most airports eventually banned them by maybe the mid 80's or so.

They were a part of the pop culture at that time and mentioned by many a stand up comedian when they needed a benchmarked reference for annoying or strange.
