a short list of people and/or things I am hipper than:

(1) Homophobes
(2) Sublime fans
(3) Peanut butter and jelly that comes together in one jar ... that shit is tragically unhip
(4) Lakes fans (especially when the Lakers are winning)
(5) Tom Cruise ... I don't care what his total box office is at or who his baby-mama is, I'm still hipper ... scientology = not a good look
(6) This guy:


(7) Nuclear bombs ... tools of mass destruction = not hip
(8) Malvolio from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night ... and not just because he's a Shakespeare character, but also because he's a dick
(9) Bio-regionalism ... hip in certain circles I guess, but I'm hipper than those circles anyway.
(10) Televised poker ... and yeah, okay, I've watched my fair share, but I maintain I'm still hipper

And keep in mind that this is by no means a comprehensive list, just a quick round-up of some of the noteable items that have been on my mind lately. I'd go on, but even writing about them in this fashion has started putting a palpable damper on my hip level, so I decided to stop while I was still ahead. Trust there's plenty more (Prof. B. I'm looking directly at you).
