A Different Kind of Hipster



Don't worry about locking up your PBR and ironic Lionel Ritchie albums - this is a different sort of hipster. Think of it as a fannypack with a training wheel. Personally, I think of it as a portable Gene Pool Isolation Unit.

In other news, the oddly named Fatrobot featured perhaps the best video I've ever seen. It has everything, including a little gold vest and moccasins:



My favorite part of the video is this guy, who is obviously enjoying himself immensely:



Finally, The Girl and I spied a MOUNTAIN UNICYCLE this weekend. I'm still not sure if I should be impressed.

Wait. So it's like a shopping cart or a stroller, but it wraps around your hips and drags behind your ass? That's horrific. I'm not sure how it's supposed to be an improvement over either of the aforementioned wheel-based recepticles, which, come to think of it, aren't as good as a donkey in the first place.

Also, how did PBR become the drink of hipsters everywhere? Sure, it's cheap, but so's Tecate and that's waaaay better, plus it has that mean looking eagle thing on it. I think hipsters should start drinking O'Douls. You want ironic? Beer with no alcohol wins everytime.

you are, of course, correct. nothing beats a burro (which, if i remember correctly is the same as a donkey, but way more fun to say). also, i've been seeing more of my quasi-hobo brethren using strollers instead of shopping carts.

i actually think PBR is on the way out. according to this article the new hotness is St. Pauli Girl. or maybe that one that turns your tongue yellow. none of which features a bad ass eagle thing.

sounds like a good cage match to me.

An amusing article to boot. And it's good to see St. Pauli's getting some love. Furthermore, I always thought that would be a great Halloween costume. Of course, my lack of sufficient mammories makes it difficult. Alas, alack. Still, a good idea, if I do say so.

I bet The Girl would make an excellent St. Pauli's girl for Halloween. Or did I already agree to being some variation of Zombie?

I suppose I could always be a St. Pauli Girl-Zombie.

You know, I had to come back to this post. I totally scoffed at it when I first saw it, but now, after having lugged home twice my weight in Cheezits from Costco without benefit of a car or taxi, I can sort of appreciate the notion of a wheeled thing that doesn't require any ounce of upper body strength and won't slam into your calves or heels as you're walking.

That said, a burro would be Even Better.

A zombie burro... not so much.
