Wow. Mean review. Really. You encourage people to submit their blogs and then flay this poor woman for having the presumption to submit a mommy blog. How DARE she? I read your FAQ. You claim to want to provide constructive criticism to bloggers in order to improve the quality of the blogosphere. Where is the constructive in this review? This is a good old fashioned super smack down, not just to this blogger but to all mom bloggers. Whatever.
I can see from looking around, though, that mean, not constructive, criticism is sort of your shtick. So carry on, then.
Unfortunately for me, with this review, mean is only funny when not directed so personally. Oh, and just for the record (in case you haven't already cottoned on): I'm a mom who has a blog but, despite this obvious character flaw, I do not consider myself a waste of oxygen.
Okay slay me with your words for commenting. You know you want to.
About this.
And, Scrappy Doo writes this:
i'm sorry you aren't able to be a SAHM mum and spend more time with your kids - blogging or not. you know i'm mad keen to go visit this mommy blogger and say something nice to her now!
familiar with the concept?
About the same review.
Coincidentally, they are both non-American mommybloggers. Or, maybe it is no coincidence, at all. Perhaps, they are the dogs of war unleashed by the whines of a thin-skinned mommy who wasn't adored as she thought she should be.
Either way, enjoy.
Oh, and if you're REALLY bored, here's more.
Don't say I never give you anything, Colon King.
Oh, wait, there's more:
ReplyDeletehttp://adventuresofthereluctanthousewife.blogspot.com/2009/04/my-blog-is-boring.html
But wait...there's more.
ReplyDeleteHoly time stamp.
ReplyDeleteNow you're giving out traffic to your haters?
ReplyDeleteSigh. Maybe I should whine about you too.
I don't think any of us operates upon the principle that blogging is about traffic, Sci Fi dad. It's about WRITING. Human interest. Entertaining ourselves at work when things are dull. Important stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I was being sarcastic.
ReplyDeleteBack to my little hole now.
Here's my favorite thing in relation to this.
ReplyDeleteHey LB, remember when I was a mom blogger and then you reviewed me and then you also gave me constructive criticism and THEN? THEN...
My blog got better?
Yeah, that was awesome.
Thanks.
NOOOOO!!! Don't cry, Sci Fi Dad! Don't cry! come back and play. I promise I won't bite so hard the next time!
ReplyDeleteBooms, your blog was pretty fucking good to begin with in comparison to these people. So, really, you had a lot to work with. But yeah, you are totally rocking things these days.
ReplyDeleteSadly, sarcasm is difficult to convey over flat text.
ReplyDeleteHowever, your patronizing tone isn't.
I wasn't being patronizing!!! I was being ironic!
ReplyDeleteDammit.
If this reluctant housewife thinks the review of Neglictimommy was rough, remember LoveyH's review?
She got better, too. But then, she had some stones to start with.
Yeah, I liked that one.
ReplyDeleteI was linked in it and that got me a lot of traffic.
You know.
(SARCASM - just to be clear)
This is me being condescending and sarcastic.
ReplyDeleteI was being sarcastic and partially ironic, but also sort of serious. It baffles me that people do this for traffic, as if soul-baring has more value if more people see you naked.
ReplyDeleteI hope that Sci Fi doesn't really think I was patronizing him, because his comment kinda threw me. I totally don't get that whole traffic mentality thing.
I feel surprisingly sad for patronizing Sci Fi and not grasping his sarcasm.
ReplyDelete:(
My mistake was believing that there was an understanding that every comment here was sarcasm.
ReplyDeleteNow I have to go cry because everyone is picking on me.
I can't speak for Sci Fi Dad. Maybe he just cares about his traffic.
ReplyDeleteMaybe now he feels bad about that.
It's okay. We can all get along anyway.
Oh, Sci Fi, I'm not picking on you. Right now.
ReplyDeleteSee? AAYSR has a heart.
ReplyDeleteJust one, that we all share, but it's a fucking awesome heart, damn it.
Sci fi is being sarcastic, I think.
ReplyDeleteBut I frequently miss sarcasm, so who knows?
ReplyDeleteYes, we are the League of Foul Mouthed Parent Haters.
ReplyDeleteCannibalistic bunch we are, what with most of us being PARENTS ourselves. Odd.
And now I'd like to do my impression of Reluctant Housewife Enthusiastic Victim,
ReplyDelete(wait while I get into character,)
"These people are mean to mommybloggers, really mean.
Whatever.
I don't care what they think but do you like me fellow mommybloggers? Am I doing it right? Should I use the f-word more? Talk about silly stuff like politics? No, I didn't think so either.
They say submit at your own risk but really, they want us to so they can hate on sahm. They say we have ever expanding asses which is an outright falsehood because my ass has always been this size. But that is obviously a character flaw and I'll just go sip my mocha in the corner while I cry a little(sigh). Okay, so slay me with your compliments, tell me I am salient, I am relevant, before I do something rash like open up another Dove Bar and turn on Oprah."
Thank you, thank you very much.
Miss Missives bows. End Scene.
OK...
ReplyDelete[/sarcasm] (that is sarcasm OFF for those of you unfamiliar with HTML because you only use the visual and not html editor in your blog, meaning I am being serious for a brief moment)
1. The traffic comment? A JOKE. A joke rooted in the fact that many mommybloggers run ads and believe that their blogs will become a profitable source of income (in other words, justification: "I'm not wasting time blogging, I'm making money, and that's why I have to remain a SAHM instead of going back to work")
2. 99.9% of what I write in the comments is sarcastic, tongue in cheek (in cheek people, stop putting my tongue in other orifices thankyouverymuch). I take all the comments in stride. I only responded to LB because I was trying to be polite.
@LoveBites: I actually remember and appreciate the fact that you commented at my place once. Thanks for that.
[sarcasm] (as in, resume your normal antics)
Applause for Miss Missives.
ReplyDelete/sarcasm
ReplyDeleteI love you, Sci Fi dad.
sarcasm
BUT I LIKE YOUR OTHER ORIFICES!!!
I'm throwing roses in Miss Missives general direction.
ReplyDeleteMiss Missives,
ReplyDeleteYou are THE BEST.
And I'll be throwing roses in her genital direction.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't we add the rule around here, somewhere, that you can't throw a big baby fit until you've been here for like a year or something.
ReplyDeleteAhem, I mean, not that I WOULD EVER throw a baby fit about sarcasm or anything like that.
Shit.
I just choked.
Is there a difference between a baby fit and a hissy fit, because I was going for hissy fit, and I'd hate to be misunderstood.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I don't think it was a hissy fit or baby fit or low-rider fit thing so much as you all not getting my sarcasm.
ReplyDeleteI hate passive agressive. If you're going to pick a fight, at least be agressive-agressive.
ReplyDeleteIn the words of the great Dolly Parton playing Shirlee Kenyon in the film Straight Talk(also starring James Woods)
"Get off the cross sweatheart, someone needs the wood."
Maybe in addition to it being the year of Teen Wolf it should be the year of Dolly Parton,no?
Though it would be helpful if I knew how to spell aggressive.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't picking on anyone but myself.
ReplyDeleteJust so we're all clear.
And while I was picking on myself... as I do most of the time.
ReplyDeleteEnding a passive-aggressive condemnation with this:
"Maybe in addition to it being the year of Teen Wolf it should be the year of Dolly Parton,no?"
Fucking rocks.
And I'm quite clear on the feeling intended.
I just can't stop beating the horse, even if it is dead.
ReplyDeleteJust to be clear.
Glad that didn't go unnoticed Betsey. You da booms.
ReplyDeleteWhat, I can't throw flowers at your genitals?
ReplyDelete1. Okay. Dolly Parton? On the list. Got it.
ReplyDelete2. Seriously, Mommybloggers give Mommybloggers a bad name. There are so many good ones. Like, the ones that I read. What kind of dumbass assumptions is she making?
Who gives a shit if you talk about pop culture and politics?
My point is this: Your children are only interesting IF YOU MAKE THEM INTERESTING. Your daily life, the mundane details? Some people write about them with mind-blowing accuracy and grip.
That's all that matters in anyone's writing, Mommy or otherwise.
Rassles - I agree. A bad review on a mommy blogger doesn't equate to an attack on the oh so holy institution of motherhood.
ReplyDeleteEvery year is the year of Dolly.
ReplyDeleteAnd nards.
Like it on not mommy blogs make up a high percentage of the blogsphere, if they ban together they could detroy us all.
ReplyDeleteWell, she's entitled to made silly judgments and illogical assumptions based upon one review, by a reviewer who read many entries in a blog that was boring.
ReplyDeleteWhy do people confuse bad writing with being a boring person?
Bad writing doesn't mean you're boring. It means you shouldn't be writing, or you should try to be better.
Geeze, man.
Oh, and it means YOU ARE BORING.
ReplyDeleteAh man, I tried to be nice.
ReplyDeleteBut my husband just sent me an email that said "I'm picking up your meds today!"
So I probably failed and am more than likely being a huge bitch. Only I don't know it, because in my head, I'm really rational right now.
Franco:
ReplyDeleteIf they banded together, they'd probably increase our traffic ALOT.
[/lurk]
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Did she just complain that a blog called "I will fucking tear you apart" was *gasp* mean?! What a shock.
That said ... Beware the wrath of the mommybloggers, dude. Just ask Motrin.
[lurk]
It's the kitty bloggers I fear.
ReplyDeleteTeh intrawebs. Where there's dino on car porn. Where taking anyone seriously for over 5 minutes should be a felony. Spiff anyone?
ReplyDeleteI kind of wish they would band together. Light some fires.
ReplyDeleteExactly Cal. I can handle the moms...but the Kittybloggers? I already have to deal with the roommate's cats.
ReplyDeletep.s. Keywork was the best mob, ever.
ReplyDeleteExcept Gap, really. She's entirely endeared herself to me by being completely unashamed and proud of her cats. It's quite admirable, her devotion.
ReplyDeleteOh, there's LB, beating me to it.
ReplyDeleteI like to think I'm STILL the best mob ever.
ReplyDeleteYou are, but you abuse colons far too often for my grammatical comfort.
ReplyDeleteYes, my widespread colon abuse is sure to make most uncomfortable in some manner.
ReplyDeleteI don't get it. These people VOLUNTARILY submit their blogs for review, then whine and bitch about it. Sheesh. I've submitted a blog in the past, got tore up and here I am still reading ya'll, and still a fan. People need to lighten up.
ReplyDeleteI gotta say, hate the people who work their kids into every conversation IRL.
ReplyDeleteThanatos : Yeah, Cliff Burton was bad ass
New Parent : I know, right? That's exactly waht I told my 5 year old when 12 year old chimed in blah blah yada yada.
I'm enjoying watching Gash try to make nice. A little bit.
ReplyDeleteI think that we are all rather annoyed, some less verbally than others, when people lose themselves in lieu of becoming a parent. I think that is an unhealthy thing, frankly. And, insofar as blogging gives women an outlet that helps them keep their sanity, great. But, when said blog consists of nothing more than picking apart the navel lint of your adorable offspring, GET A FUCKING LIFE.
ReplyDeleteYou know what's funny to me? Some of our harshest critics eventually turn out to be our biggest fans.
ReplyDelete*cough*keywork*cough*
Holy crap. You linked to me. And highlighted my comment.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Apparently my evil plan for world domination is working. Bwah hahaha
LB: Sometimes they even end up doing reviews.
ReplyDeleteLady Sarcasm: I think I speak solely for myself when I say that I would like nothing more than to hump your leg. With my fiancee watching, of course.
Or, we're enjoying the schadenfreude of it all. Either way, rejoice! You're getting the all-important TRAFFIC!
ReplyDeleteI remember the sistahs! :)
ReplyDeleteMiss Missives - great impression. Not enough sad hand wringing, though. Wornk on that.
ReplyDeleteNah, more hand-wringing would have been totally over the top. This is the line where she really nailed it:
ReplyDeleteOkay, so slay me with your compliments, tell me I am salient, I am relevant, before I do something rash like open up another Dove Bar and turn on Oprah."
What a big let down.
ReplyDeleteLB: That's the line that had me tossing flora at MM's lady bits.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to put up a fresh spine on eBay. Takers?
ReplyDeleteOprah? Oh please.
ReplyDeleteAt least let me be watching something with some entertainment value.
RH: Hold that thought.
ReplyDeleteHow can you NOT find Oprah entertaining?! I mean she gains and loses 300lbs between each show. Thats crazy.
ReplyDeleteAnd Ghost, where can I find a 'Please Fuck Yourself Cactus'?
You know, seriously, Scrappy Doo ruined that show.
ReplyDeleteLB: Totally.
ReplyDeleteYou were so craving this thread, weren't you?
ReplyDeleteLike you couldn't believe. I haven't even started being offensive yet. Thank you, LB.
ReplyDeleteYou know, some people might consider bleeding axe wound and gash to be offensive, but not us. We know they are just the warm up for when you get TRULY offensive, and the gloves come off.
ReplyDeleteIt's just a bonus when they get all huffy during warm-ups. Makes me all warm and fuzzy.
ReplyDeleteI'm all kink and hardware, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteWhats wrong with Axe wound and Gash? Really?
ReplyDeleteGives me the giggles. So does talk of ass ramming though so who knows...maybe I just have issues.
You've so found your home on the interwebs amongst your own kind, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteYou can squee, if you must, but the rest of us will look down on you from our positions of lofty hipsterishness and smirk with disdain.
ReplyDeleteBecause that's how we roll.
ReplyDeleteI dont mind being looked down upon. For two reasons, 1.)I'm really fucking short so it happens a lot. And 2.) I spend a considerable amount of time on me knees so...again, I'm used to it.
ReplyDeleteLB- You totally ruined our hipsterishness with the "that's how we roll".
ReplyDeleteHipsters only roll joints when no one is looking.
Real Hipsters don't flex nuts cuz they know that they got em.
ReplyDeleteDamn, it feels good to be a hipster.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Sarah dear, DPH and I will allow you a visitor's pass to our Enchanted Kingdom once we get it all set up.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't feel good for me to be a hipster. It kind of pinches, really. Must be the skinny jeans.
ReplyDeleteRass: That was totally meant for you. Thanks for catching it.
ReplyDeleteYou know, hipsters think smoking pot is totally college. I mean, they used to smoke pot all the time, but then they grew bored of it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and Hipsters don't wear 'skinny' jeans, they wear 'messenger' pants.
ReplyDeleteI'm way too chubby to be a hipster. Mostly because of what Cal just said.
ReplyDeleteOh and when I see hipster hair I have a tendency to call them a douche.
Right, Rass, that's why I said when no one is looking.
ReplyDeleteThey pretend like they don't, but if they don't then they revert back to what they were before pot helped them realize they actually were hip.
And real hipsters drink microbrews, and if you've heard of it, they've got another one that's even better and is their ACTUAL favorite, but you can only totally get it at one small liquor store in Brussels, you can't even get it online.
ReplyDeleteMy ass is way to big for skinny jeans. I look like a torpedo in them. Not ok.
ReplyDeleteA visitors pass? Really?!
Real hipsters don't blog. They podcast.
ReplyDeleteOr at least, they'd tried blogging back in 2003, but they didn't like the mental herding aspect of it.
ReplyDeleteObviously, someone says "hipster," and it strikes me right here.
ReplyDeleteSarah, I don't so much look like a torpedo as I just look like a set of denim covered THIGHS heading your way.
ReplyDeleteI save looking like torpedoes for my boobs. Which are totally not hipster tits.
Probably because they like Bud Light.
Well yea, there is the thigh issue for me as well. My mother told me they are athletic thighs. Though I dont think I have done anything outside the bed room that would be considered athletic in years. Basically she called me fat. That bitch.
ReplyDeleteAnd my boobs are way to big to torpedo. I dont think its possible. Not without lots of wire mesh and possibly a few support beams.
Dude, I don't know if you know this, but Bud Light isn't even American anymore. And us hipsters really don't like their advertisting campaign. If you want a real cool brew that isn't being run by corporate junkies, try PBR.
ReplyDeleteThen again, now you can get PBR everywhere. It's becoming too mainstream. Not edgy enough. So, really, you should try this local shit that this guy I know brews in the basement of his apartment building with a wood-burning stove and a bunch of trust-fund kids who only wear expensive "vintage" clothing.
Sarah, consider yourself blessed. We don't throw around visitor passes freely.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Garden State is so 2004. But really, it's 2003, because the hipsters all streamed it on their Mac's while the movie was BEING FILMED.
ReplyDeleteGhost, you have no idea.
ReplyDeleteYeah, so my math worked out on that one, thanks to you, Ross.
ReplyDeleteYou're a genius, Boomer.
ReplyDeleteOh and now? The Shins can NEVER be considered hip, ever, because of that movie.
ReplyDeleteOr so I've been told.
Actually, true hipsters had a copy of the screenplay in 2000. Because true Hipsters write screenplays.
ReplyDeleteLook, I don't know, I'm going to stick with Huey Lewis on this one.
ReplyDeleteYou know, with the hip to be square business, even though by the time that song came out, we didn't care anymore until it became cool to care about Huey again.
True hipsters know that Zach Braff totally stole the idea from a guy who lives off of rocks and the juice of flowers he finds in the Utah desert.
ReplyDeleteWell you know, Nickelback couldn't be them without Creed. Just for the record and all.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Boomer. You're completely right. But for some people, Huey is only valuable ironically.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes: Creed.
ReplyDeleteBut Huey is far more valuable as a musician and man, not an ironic icon.
Good call on the Mini, but I know this chick who used to drive a 1968 red convertible Volkswagon Rabbit, and now she rides a Vespa she built with parts that she bought in Italy.
ReplyDeleteThe News was a total jock band who then hit home with jocks again more than a decade later when Patrick Bateman murdered to them.
ReplyDeleteMy brother totally wrecked his hipster friends Vespa in a parking lot.
ReplyDeleteHe should have gone to the emergency room but didn't. You know, with the way the healthcare system totally fucks you.
And this is where I WISH I was being hip and ironic.
This is true.
Exactly, Boomer.
ReplyDeletePop culture isn't too hard to figure out.
And we totally beat the hipsters to Teen Wolf and Monster Squad. Just you wait.
Oh, and your brother?
ReplyDeleteThat made my laugh, but only ironically.
My brother only laughs ironically, because if I make him laugh at something that isn't ironic, he gets this look on his face like if he gives into the laugh, he'll shit himself.
ReplyDeleteI heard Monster Squad is on DVD at Wal-mart.
Does true hipness get any better than that?
Ironically? No.
Hipsters never drink beer out of a can, unless we're talking about Guinness here. But it kind of makes them cough and feel overly full, and it bloats their skinny little hipster bellies. But they like to PRETEND to like it because that's what hipsters do, in between waving their hands around and peering through their thick rimmed glasses and long bangs.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget about PBR tallboys. But that's only when they can't find what they were really looking for, which you've never heard of.
ReplyDeleteI think I want to start a brewing company and call it, "You've Never Had This" and market it to hipsters only by offering it only at underground punk shows and outsider art galleries.
ReplyDeleteonly only only only
ReplyDeleteLittle hipster bellies made me want to rub them and tossle their dirty hair.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you've never had this.
When in a pinch, you can drink Boddington's too.
We regularly drink with the hipsters at this shee little bar called "fermentation lounge" in my town. And they look down their little hipster noses at my suburban momness and wonder how I ever meandered into their little hidden hipster paradise. And I totally want to sell my house in the suburbs and buy this multilevel townhouse that is uber cool, and expose my children to bums sleeping behind our fence.
ReplyDeleteBut, with home prices like they are these days, that dream will simply have to wait.
Sometimes, little hipsters are so cute, with their strategically fucky hair, and elaborately choreographed devil-may-care wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteLB: I live in what used to be "hidden hipster paradise."
ReplyDeleteNow everyone else wants to live here too. It's nauseating.
It makes me feel like a hipster.
Real Hipsters know and refer to Garden State by its original title 'Juicy Flowers and Rocks'.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to forget the definition of hipster at this point.
ReplyDeleteWait, am I a hipster.
Oh, no, not at all.
I'm just ironic. I'm too chubby, suburban and a BREEDER to be a hipster. Whew.
Hipsters can't be defined. They defy definition.
ReplyDeleteOh, plus I drink campground beer.
ReplyDeleteWhich is not YARD BEER, don't get me wrong.
Microbrews make me feel like I have a loaf of bread in my stomach the next morning.
Whatever, I'm totally a hipster.
ReplyDeleteCan I rub your little belly?
ReplyDeleteI'll be really honest with you, I have no fucking idea what any of you are talking about. What the hell IS a hipster?
ReplyDeleteI just know I cant do skinny jeans. And I get a visitors pass!
Because THATS how I roll.
ReplyDeleteCause I'm down witht he dove bars and oprah too but i have to be able to work anal in once in awhile.
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice any looking down noses at Fermentation. Has it gotten worse? Or am I oblivious? Probably the later.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I hate? Women who introduce themselves as their children's mother.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Colin and Mira's mommy.
Uh, don't you have a fucking name?
Key, if I introduce myself as anyone's mommy at your wedding, you have my permission to sodomize me on the spot.
See, working sodomy in again, because that's how I roll.
By the way I miss the hooker since they took away her internet.
I long for the days when wine coolers were cool and side ponies and popped collars were de rigeur and un-ironic.
ReplyDeleteWait. No I don't. Wine coolers give me a wicked headache.
FF: I miss her too. As far as the sodomy, you can just tell people the groom is your Daddy.
ReplyDeleteFF- Didnt you know you lose all identity when you get married or have kids.
ReplyDelete(I hope there was a detectable amount of sarcasm in that)
But Calamity! The Bartles and Jaymes commercials were righteous!
ReplyDeleteSarah: at least you don't lose interest in anal.
ReplyDeleteWine coolers have done way more for my sex life than any pick-up line ever has.
ReplyDeleteI find it to be the best last minute birthday gift, well, for my husband that is. Cheap and easy to wrap.
ReplyDeleteSarah - Here you go...
ReplyDeleteWiki, wiki, wiki.
Hipster is a slang term which appeared in the 1940s. In the 1990s and 2000s it was used to describe young, recently-settled urban middle class adults and older teenagers with interests in non-mainstream fashion and culture, particularly alternative music, independent rock, independent film, magazines like Vice, Clash and Adbusters, and websites like Pitchfork Media.[1] In some contexts, hipsters are also referred to as scenesters.[2] The term is sometimes used in a derogatory manner, referring to someone who moves from trend to trend while claiming to be outside of mainstream culture.
Oh look, someone did define it. How not hip can you be?
How could I?
ReplyDeleteIt's also a gift that is recession compatible.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so the hipsters began as this movement of white kids from the suburbs who moved to the city and started hating everything that was too mainstream.
ReplyDeleteIt's this mindset of self-entitlement, sitting on their clouds of judgment, snubbing anyone who disagrees with them. They care about nothing, really, except being cooler than everyone else by liking things no one has ever heard of.
Then, when there's something mainstream that they really like, they only like it so they can make fun of it. Ironically.
Since more and more of these people have been sprouting up, the truest hipsters are shunning the very name "hipster" because now, being a hipster is too mainstream.
Even the trixies want to be hipsters, and trixies are the worst. When the trixies hop on, you know something is dead.
Or, you could look at Boomer's wiki entry.
ReplyDeleteDammit.
Even better, there are pictures.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Rassles.
ReplyDeleteYou see, I'm not as well written as you. I assume someone always wrote it better than I could, somewhere else.
And that theory has never failed me yet.
You should wiki you definition, it's better.
Well then. I dont think I'm a hipster. Or am I? No, no I dont think so.
ReplyDeleteI can only assume that being a hipster must be fucking exhausting.
ReplyDeleteNo, really, scat. Check it: http://shittingsluts.com/. Thank me later.
ReplyDeleteI thank hardcore jesus every day that I am not illustrated there.
ReplyDeleteSarah: idk, take your pick, they are both pretty bad.
ReplyDeleteBoth, although primarily the scenesters. Shitting sluts at least have some individuality. Ish. I think. I'm not clicking over there, I'm not clicking over there, I'm not clicking over there.
ReplyDeleteI like #1 Pete Wentz fan.
ReplyDeleteYou clicked over there didnt you?
ReplyDeleteCome on, Cal, you feel left out for missing Twatter 2009. Do it. Do it.
ReplyDeleteSo after I hung out with the Rude Boy and saw Mustard Plug and met Dickie Barrett way too many times...
ReplyDeleteI became a raver.
Wait! Where is the raver kid?
Oh right, they're all dead or living in the suburbs with turntables in their basement.
FUCK!
Oh my god Orgcore Punker is my life.
ReplyDeleteHXC tough guy looks just like my ex husband.
ReplyDeleteGod, I used to love a rave. Well, not so much the rave as the drugs and promiscuity.
ReplyDeleteCal - Welcome to how Mr. Booms and I met.
ReplyDeleteI am not now, nor have I have I ever been a hipster. I do, however, posess a set of hips. That have been described as "child-bearing".
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, what the fuck is campground beer? Am I supposed to be classifying my beverages by the venue in which I plan to drink them?
I typically drink 'Everywhere' Beer.
ReplyDeleteCal, everything about Fermentation Lounge is urban hipster, including the owners, or at least as close as we come in this part of the south. Now that you're becoming more familiar with the scene, you can start pointing out the local variations while drinking. Es muy bueno!
ReplyDelete(is tres chic to use a foreign language)
I used to date hXc toughguy. He had the gauged ears, motorcycle, tattoos, and played paintball. We had similar tastes in music but I found him rather prudish in bed (which surprised me).
ReplyDeleteyou sure he wasn't sxe mosh warrior before? Because that would explain it.
ReplyDeleteBest line: "he's from a rare breed of the hardcore fan; very few exist past the age of 21. due to their adolescent abstinence, guys like this often lose all signs of their former "posi" attitude and become raging alcholics."
So. Fucking. True.
Er, my question was about the nose-looking-down, not about whether they were hipsters. I'm entirely familiar with who/what they are.
ReplyDeleteTWO HUNDRED
ReplyDeleteCampground beer is a stupid Boomer word.
ReplyDeleteI used to only drink things like Miller Lite in a can when I was either camping or at the lake.
Now I drink it all the time.
Campground beer.
Because campgrounds are full of WT like me.
I wrote 'used too.'
ReplyDeleteI've derailed.
I need a beer.
I dont like beer in a can. I like bottles. Or kegs. Or pitchers. But not cans for some reason.
ReplyDeleteYou know what likes beer in cans?
ReplyDeleteMy wallet.
My liver and kidneys are kind of bitchy about it though.
"Campground beer" is an awesome expression.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll adopt it as my own, but in reference to Coors Light.
Coors light is totally campground beer.
ReplyDeleteSarah, no that's not hipster, that's camper trash.
I hold the remote with mine.
Multipurpose tools is what I call 'em.
ReplyDeleteI call mine "bionic".
ReplyDeleteThey've been made faster, stronger, better.
Nice.
ReplyDeleteMine, are all real. Real big. Real heavy. And Real pains in the neck. Literally.
Yours however, look lovely. From what I can tell in the pic anyway.
ReplyDeleteSarah, the picture was taken before I started calling them Lee Majors.
ReplyDeleteBETSY:
ReplyDeleteHe was a TOTAL sXe mosh warrior. And HE STILL IS.
gah.
Ah, I see. What size did you move up to?
ReplyDeleteSarah - I wish I knew.
ReplyDeleteI don't actually wear a real bra now.
I'm all excited. Do you know how few people I can talk to in the suburban ghetto about sXe mosh warriors? sqeee...sorta.
ReplyDeleteLB: I was in that posse in high school. Not so much the warrior, but the sxe mosh.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go bra less. I'm afraid I would lose my cats or kid under them if I didnt.
ReplyDeleteThey say if you can place a pencil under your breast and it stays, you should wear a bra.
I think I can hold a dictionary there.
I know I can put a beer in my cleavage and bend backwards and drink it.
ReplyDeleteCOLLEGE.
I know, I fucking hate myself now.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I scrub pubic hair off of toilets to pay for this shit.
It's my goal to go all summer with no bra. Mostly because I've had to wear a bra since I sprouted the bastards.
I was able to hold a gross of pencils under them when I was 20. And that is when they were B's.
Rassles: But are you STILL? The cool kids are STILL sXe mosh warriors.
ReplyDeleteHeh.
I can't help but feel that, due to a glitch in my uber hip coding, we've created our own little hipster hideaway here, in the 200s.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I can't wait to put new boobs on DPH. I think all this boob talk is slowly swaying me.
ReplyDeleteNot only is our own hipster hideaway, but it's a total bitch fest.
ReplyDeleteWhen does THAT EVER happen around here?
