Shrugging themselves into oblivion

Hey, I love an anti-hipster diatribe as much as the next guy, but this is a bit extreme even for me. It's extreme mainly because it takes the hipster far too seriously. The hipster is just a modern day dandy, a 21st century fop, if you will. In the hierarchy of hip, the hipster can barely even compete with the beatnik, the hippie, or the punk. This site does a good job of exploiting the hipster for derision and laughter which may, in the end, be the hipster's most lasting cultural contribution.

Time for Tom N. to recount when he accepted Jesus. Great stuff, with an all-time killer payoff.

One of my biggest regrets in life was losing Tom N.'s letter of "conversion," Brian. I think my mother threw it out.

I can't tell you how angry that letter made me while I was reading it (in my car during my lunch hour at my new job). I was so mad I almost threw it away before finishing it. Who, aside from Howard Stern, would have thought Jessica Hahn could be used to such comic effect.

Don't get me started on that bastard.

(Who does he mean? Tom N. or ...Jesus?!)
