Did you hear the one about the Frog and the Scorpion?
You can take the ster out of the the Hip, but you can't take the Hip out of the Hipster.

To kill the hipster, we must better understand the hipster. We can ill afford another Dresden.

If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can ever imagine, or something.

Poor star ship trooper reference? CMON GUYS!!! Replace hipster with bug, and Dresden with Dresden.....wait I meant Klendathu

This conversation sort of reminds me of the people that rag on famous bands who have "sold out" or pick at their style, look, name,etc., etc. but then rave about their friend's bands (often some sh*tty local bar band or home recording outfit) who often have the very same qualities, look, etc., etc.

Friendship changes expectations and standards it would seem...

the funny thing is that orks are what originally got my interested in the 40k universe
my brother though, is a 6ftish blonde that looks like he got lost onthe way to a surf competion(which is ironic since he's really a band geek)

We're bros in the beard brigade! BOOYA! And only the Giant looks like me, my oldest brother...I swear IS the milkmans kid We look nothing alike.

Giggling depends on the context. If you drop your pants and she points and laughs, that's probably not good...

That was one of the many implied places

But if that happened to Cannerus, she would only be laughing at the 'To scale' size of mini rabbit ears he had hidden under the pants....

Just to be clear, that's never happened to me. There has been the odd instance where a girl has has been giggling during sex with me, but I couldn't possibly describe the mechanics of that situation without sounding hopelessly Austin Powers/Benny Hill.

Sort of brings a whole new meaning to "show yourself."

With that out of the way, back on topic! My visage hasn't radically changed in the last week or so so I've got nothing. Somebody post pictures.

Sorry KC, but when you use Dresden I tend to associate it with fire bombings that lead to the German population becoming increasingly mad at the British.

... and before Dresden we were the best of friends, of course.

Me and Mrs. Albatross, picture is notable for reasons of my big drunken face:

Are those your real glasses? That might sound like an odd question, but I have a buddy that purposely wears these HUGE ridiculous 80s glasses just for a laugh. Then again, he has wired an 80s cellphone up to work like a modern prepaid phone, and actually carries it around and talks on it.......

This is me last year in Holland at the Nijmegan marches.
