Hipsters Ain't What They Used To Be.

OMG, I forgot Night Train. What a stagger down Memory Lane this has been.

Had a girlfriend a long time ago who drank too much Cisco and ended up spray-painting a motel room red. Boy, those were the days

[tmckenzie]

How's it sold? Good and cold!

What's the jive? Bird's alive!

What's the price? Thirty twice.

No, friend...Thunderbird was always bad. :grin:

to you maybe, but I actually still like the taste of manischewitz. And some of the best wine in the world is made around the distillery.

what about red dagger?

[cowdery]

Don't know that one. Apparently there is a limit to my depravity.

How is that possible? :slappin:

Hamm's, at least as a name, is still around. It is not, surprising, brewed by Miller for the new Pabst "Brewing" Company, but is actually owned by MillerCoors.

I once drank a 40 of a beverage called Crazy Horse in a hot tub. It was a long night which went downhill from there, both figuratively and literally.

Here are some stupid, drunk hipsters drinking OGD 114:

Since the majority here seems to really hate hipsters (OK, I'm sensitive, because I get lumped, unfairly IMHO, into that category), I thought I'd provide some cannon fodder.

Maybe you shouldn't chug OGD 114 from the bottle?

Never thought I'd see the day that a Pitchfork link made it to SB.

It's not so much that anyone hates hipsters as it is that hipster is a pejorative term. Nobody says, "I'm a hipster." Today people will say they are 'old hippies,' but back in the day the only people who self-identified as hippies were undercover cops.

[AaronWF]

Yeah, I don't think there's really any such thing as a hipster, as they tend not to exist in solitude. When a dude spends an hour doing his hair so that it looks like his scalp vomited over his shoulder, and spends a few hundred bones on clothes that make him look like a teenage Axl Rose, then spouts expletive-laced opinions, he's just a douche.

When a couple of these guys get together and douche it up, they're hipsters. Get one alone and sober, maybe he's not such a bad guy.

[OscarV]

I'm sorry, I just drank a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon, were you talking about me?

[toddinjax]

How many hipsters does it take to change a light bulb?

It's a really obscure number...you wouldn't know it:lol:

[jeanraulmitchell]

I'd say, if you are worried about worrying about your hair or worried about other guys fixing their own hair than you may want to seek professional help or at least get the stick removed from your a**.

What is Red Stag's target demographic? I know it's not us (I usually don't like to lump an entire board in one group, but I feel safe with this one.), but I can't figure out who it's supposed to be.

I keep a bottle of Red Stag (never to be confused with George T. Stagg) at the back of the shelf behind the Evan Williams Honey. It's for when my daughter visits. (There's your demographic.) The Honey is to pour over pound cake or bread pudding.

LOL, my thoughts exactly. What does that say about LikeItWasSodaPop, DeanSheen, and fussychicken?

And say what you guys will about hipsters, but here we are, a bunch of old guys and mostly non-hipsters about 200 posts into a thread about hipsters. Clearly a lightning rod?

I say ignore them at your own peril. You may not like it, but history books are already being written defining the hippies as the cultural leaders for the hugely influential boomer generation. I don't see much out there that suggests things will be different for the hipsters and gen Y.

And just for the record, yes there is indeed some PBR in the fridge right now!! But unfortunately, my trust fund of 0.0 dollars doesn't allow for Silverlake or Williamsburg living. And plus I'm going bald!! So I guess no hipster for me...

Is Biddy Mulligans still open? I had several good times there in the late 70's or was it early 80's.

Well, you could always go for that 'bald with a pony tail' hipster look. :grin:

[sailor22]

Because of this thread I bought a four pack of tall PBR's. I don't think I have ever tried one. It's been a three pack for awhile now.
