I’m behind on every trend… but I comfort myself in knowing that I never paid full retail to be behind on the trend. As they laugh at my faux hipster ways. How can you be a hipster working as a government contracted statistician???? I work for the man, man.

The existential crisis is real.

Nah – no existential crisis, you’re merely paving the way for the next big thing: the “Post-Hipster” era. It’s where everything ‘boring’ is cool. irony is ridiculed in favor of sincerity. Seriously, you can tell a movement or era is over when it’s means of transmitting identity are co-opted by those not in the tribe. that’s some heavy sh*t, man!

The essence of hipsterism is irony.

Own it. As long as you don’t wear flannel or get a chest tattoo, you’re within the parameters of “normal”. Unlike, say, this guy:

have to admit, I felt faster and shaved 8 minutes off my commute time by wearing lycra instead of snowboard pants, leather sneakers instead of hiking boots, checking the tire pressure and oiling my drivetrain. I bet you can guess which ones helped the most.

Would’ve been 10 minutes if you shaved your legs….

How much time do you save
if you shave
the hair from a tattooed torso,
today? Or tomorrow?

Written as haiku?

[PotomacCyclist]

Are you asking if I was inquiring about a torso tattoo that includes a haiku? Or if my previous post was spaced like a poem?

I added those returns (or whatever the exact term is), because I noticed some rhymes and rhythms in the sentence. So I went with it. It wasn’t a forum software glitch.

Not entirely sure what most hipsters are transmitting with their underpants, but can’t imagine it’s a good thing.

How can I unsee that magazine cover? It will haunt me for the rest of… the afternoon.

[dplasters]

One thing I am not arguing with myself about is Gore Windstopper. This material is like magic. Somehow, I can wear the same jacket when its 10 degrees and also when its 45 degrees. Its like magic. The only difference is under armour coldgear underneath vs a simple workout shirt underneath.

Does there exist, a better material than Windstopper? I submit that there is not!
