Dear hipster

[Nikkita6]

It says something that I'm 45 years old and didn't know what PBR was until your post. Then, reading that it just clicked. Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Funny how I figured that out based on your post.

And thanks to your post, I now know what PBR is, and so I don't have to post the question.

I am also relieved that I did not know what it was, because I wouldn't want anyone to think that I lived in a trailer park, and was married to any one of my relatives, in addition to being the owner of a small petting zoo.

I hate to tell the hipsters but PBR is brewed by Millercoors so they are supporting a huge multinational corporation, not sticking it to the man. But I guess $300 jeans really do

This is decently humorous except one flaw. The reference to PBR. Anyone who drinks that swill is most likely still huffing down Marlboro reds, lives in a trailer and is married to their sister/cousin and probably own at least 12 dogs.

And 37 guns...

I would drive to florida once a month.

Nah. We've got those vape nerds here, too.

 

[Caffeine7]

Funny, I can't recall anyone at the 7-11 counter talking about punching out their Marlboro light filters for better airflow or modding them with the filter from a camel light.

We should start an "old fart" B & M. We could have comfy rocking chairs and padded recliners instead of stools. Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd on the stereo...

If I lived in FL and not GA, I'd be there daily! Anyplace with Zep and Floyd on the box is fine by me!

I know what you're sayin' but oddly enough PBR has climbed back up the ladder to retake its position as one of the most popular brands. But, for those of us who remember when Carhartt gear was for cowboys, ranch hands, and line workers, this is just another yuppie move to "be cool" by popularizing what the "lower class" uses. No offense intended to anyone, trust me I've downed more than my share of PBR, Schlitz, Old Milwaukee, etc. and worn out many a Carhartt jacket or bibs.

a rock and roll vape shop ... I'm sure Janis, Jimi and Stevie Ray would approve

au contraire...... not according to this Times article... I particularly like the "nectar of the hipster gods" line.... and while we are at it....

and no I am not a hipster... I just play one on ECF

That's just crazy, but I guess in a hipster way it makes sense.

old jerry here loves a good PBR and can taste a note of nutmeg in any cinnamon roll e-juice on the market...

but despite the fact he may not be a hipster, you've gotta admit, he's got a fantastic job.

Ok how do I get a job like that?!?!?

 

[illitirit]

hipsters make me giggle. Their whole philosophy is based on being "ironic". They drink PBR out of a brown bag lunch sack because they want the appearance of being poor even though a lot of them are not. They buy old retro looking electronics so that they can have a 1980's watch in the year 2014. What pisses me off the most about the trend is those dumb glasses without lenses. JUST WHY?

 

[Caffeine7]

So they can look smart without actually looking smart?

 

[CountBoredom]

I'm all for it. We could call it grumpy old vapers. No one under 30 or wearing skinny jeans. Throw some iggy and the stooges and stiff little fingers into the playlist and it would be perfect

It needs to have a lawn outside so that the old adage can be yelled on a daily basis.

Now that I think about it, one of the local B&Ms near me always has Queen on the radio. The others usually have some interchangeable techno song going on.

 

[HauntedMyst]

I'm truly amazed that your taste buds are 25 to 50 times more sensitive than most humans and you have special needs in your juice preparation. I respect your right to let everyone know who built your coils and how much you paid for your rda but please, please, for the love of Pete, step away from the tasting bar to argue what undertones you are detecting in the juice so the rest of us can try a few. Ok rant over. Go on with your day

Also, could you please put some coat hangers on those ears you've turned into hoola hoops and provide a place for people to hang their jackets onto so you can do something useful with your head?

My husband seems to go outside and yell it nightly. But he is *is* almost 62... however in his defense, when he tries to claim the Senior discount, they always ask for his ID.

But he says he'll be there too, if they're playing good ol rock n roll, he doesn't mind the smell of vapor at all; he seems to really enjoy himself when we go around visiting the local B&Ms. We got to the new MadVapes-Atlanta store last week, and I could see he was powerfully tempted by those e-cigars that really look like cigars.

Day-um, now I gotta start drinkin' PBR, go back to smokin' again, buy a trailer, divorce my bride of 45 years, find a willing/live(?) female cousin and garner some dogs. No problem, got da arsenal aspect covered!

 

[anavidfan]

I am so in.

Perhaps a nice charcuterie and cheese selection too??

Maybe a dessert bar....have to pair these juices right.....

And fruit! Definitely fruit plates!

Now to come up with a witty title that mixes "vape" with "epicure"

Nah....... wine and cheese? Oh please, then It would be like all those middle aged, middle class , upper class wanna be's in Sonoma, MEAT, BBQ, PORK ........ Lots of real food....... No Pinot, Chablis...... Just good real drinks..... NO MOJITOS......

And some good non-alcoholic ones too, for those of us who had to give that stuff up YEARS before smoking started kicking our butts... Coffee's fine, I love the smell, but tea, please... good tea... Twinings English Breakfast! and REAL SUGAR!!! I can't get too pure, or I couldn't stand myself!
