well, it's no secret...he just doesn't understand the term hipster...yet.
I used to update my twitter with all the crazy hipster shennanagins by dad would do or say for mostly my own amusement
but then I realized my powers were much better for the blogging world.
If you're not in the know already (you stupid conformist non hipster, go back to your tumblr account),
I have another blog on blogger.
One about
movies and how much I love them, with added humour*
So, maybe check it out?
Anyways, back to
#hipsterdad. He's great. I don't know how this started, or when this came about. My dad wasn't real that cool of a dude back in the day, more of a juvenile delinquent, so he hasn't always been a hipster. I can't really pinpoint when it came about, but one day it just hit me.
MY DAD IS A HIPSTER.
Some things about him:
 |
A picture of #hipsterdad and his bros
he's the one in the middle. |
-He's a six foot two teddy bear. He looks like a ferocious mountain man (the title banner shows great likeness!) who gives off the appearance of being big and tough...
... but his favorite movie is Hairspray (he would never admit it fully)
- He is half native american, half german and polish, but raised by a norwegian. He chooses which culture to use in life depending on what fits the situation.
Example one: driving from Seattle to Minnesota "We're indians, we have always migrated back to the motherland in the summer, it's in our blood"
Example two: whenever he and his cousin are together "Two pollacks were driving down the road when their car broke down..." followed by a joke about how the always get into stupid situations
 |
| don't worry. we're polish, we can make these jokes. |
Example three: on his fish eating dietary habits "Norwegian's always eat this shit! I was raised on this kind of stuff. Best thing in the world for you, I tell ya!"
which brings me to his hipster-ness.
#hipsterdad has recently been losing a lot of weight. the secret to his success? ALL SALMON. That's all he eats. It's been working...but then a few days ago he tells me:
"I went next door to talk to Brian, and he told me he lost 50 lbs! You know what from? EATING SALMON, pfhhh! Remember when I told you how great it was, like three months ago, now I bet everyone is going to realize how great salmon is."
He said it in such a tone that implied, "by then, I'll have moved on to the next great food."
Some hipsters are snobs about music, #hipsterdad is a snob about food.
*whether or not you think I'm funny is subjective.
