32 Signs You’re No Longer a Hipster

In honor of the shaving of my beard may I present some damn funny shit…32 Signs You’re No Longer a Hipster as brought to you by the Frisky…

  • You haven’t worn your hoodie in a few weeks.
  • Ditto goes for your trusty beat-up Converse.
  • Those American Apparel ads are starting to creep you out.
  • You can’t remember the last time you read Vice. Or Nylon, for that matter.
  • Last time you went to see a band, you wished: A) you had ear plugs in and B) there was some place to sit.
  • You go to bed before midnight at least five days of the week.
  • You’re not quite sure who Lissy Trullie is exactly.
  • You got a gym membership, and actually go on a fairly regular basis.
  • You’re not hung over right now.
  • You use Facebook to connect with your family.
  • The Selby is not in your place.
  • You can’t remember the last time you checked out last night’s party pics.
  • Fashion people sound like pretentious snobs, whereas there was a time when you didn’t feel this way.
  • Instead of going to boozy brunches, you prefer to do lunch.
  • Seems to you, Kari Ferrell deserved to go to jail.
  • You haven’t a clue who Kari Ferrell is, actually.
  • You went to art school, but you’ve been working a 9-to-5 office job for way longer at this point.
  • You celebrated Christmas and other major holidays.
  • You finally quit smoking.
  • You wear headbands around your crown, not your forehead.
  • You have to admit it, Opening Ceremony is insanely overpriced.
  • You stopped pirating music and movies and pay for them instead.
  • You opened a savings account.
  • You let your blogspot go.
  • You’re not really sure how to buy drugs, not that you would want to.
  • Awkward Family Photos-The Book

    If you have never been to Awkward Family Photos then what the hell are you doing at work all day?  Anyway, it is now available in book form.

    The Ultimate (Pregnant) Chick Magnet

    I just picked one of these Taga Child Carrier Bikes…nah, I don’t have any kids but it is great for picking up pregnant chicks…trust me.

    Kenny is Back…Thank God

    Should I Buy an iPad?

    Finally a useful flow chart…I mean other than the cheeseburger one.

    May We Suggest…A Gift for a Man Who Has Everything (Ewwww)

    Condom Dispenser

    And by everything we mean some shit he picked up from that girl with the ripped tights and the cowboy boots that he met after that High Places show at The Market Hotel…damn, if only he had the Stainless Steel Condom Dispenser…well, get him some antibiotics and this slick new dispenser and it’s all good.

    May We Suggest…the Strangest, Bloodiest, Trippiest Cartoon You’ve Never Seen

     

    Superjail, the Adult Swim cartoon about a jail that is inside a volcano that is inside another volcano…a second season has been ordered so now is the time to catch up and check out the first season…if my advice isn’t enough, take three minutes our of your day and check out this little compilation.

    Superjail’s first season is out now out on DVD…pick it up before your delivery guy stops by and you’ve got a great night ahead of you.

    May We Suggest…A Great Place to Take a Date You Don’t Want Anyone To See

    May We Suggest Red Bench Bar.  Have you ever been to Red Bench in Soho?  No?  Well that is good and bad. 

    The bad is that you are missing out on a mellow, dark bar, with good drinks and low tables.  If you have never been, it is an excellent spot to bring a date that you may not be super proud of, but still want to hook up with.  The low lights will help with the issues of being both seen and seeing her/him (if her/his face is the problem) and the low tables allow for a close intimate conversation with the possibility of some under the table groping.  The drinks are strong and the space is private, two other positives when you’re not having your proudest moment.

    The good news?  At least nobody has ever “Red Benched” you!   (Hey, I like that term).  Anyway, if the Red Bench doesn’t help, you can always go with the full proof drink , drink , drink method.  With that method she/he will get more attractive (or you will care less).

    New RAAAAAAAANDY Mixtape

    Aziz Ansari, who is funny as hell, just did a couple of hysterical stnadup gigs in NYC.  He kind of has a new mixtape out (you can peep a preview below.) Actually it’s RAAAAAAAANDY’s new mixtape.  You don’t know RAAAAAAAANDY’S?  Now you do!.

    Ahhh…The Bush/Cheney/Blackwater Days

    How I long for the old days of Bush and Cheney…before the days of logic (Obama has his faults, but intelligence and logic are not among them) when a simple little startup company like Blackwater could hijack a bullshit war and make it even more ridiculous by having its employees bill the United States Government for prostitutes.  (Kenny Rogers’ “Through the Years” is playing in my mind as I write this.)
