Just to start things off; I believe that our first blog of December is Lil' Neff talking about...erggghhhh.
I went to Suicide Girls to see if they actually did have a new dudes section (hey, it's winter-time and my gas bill is going up); as far as I can see, they don't, but I couldn't look at the website for more than a minute at a time without being felled by the twin hammers of Pretention and Over-Crowded Homepage. It was like having my eyes bludgeoned out by the Strokes. Not by the hand of one of the Strokes, but actually as if someone picked up the Strokes and jammed them into my eye sockets.

"Triple hot mocha fluenza." This is all.

 Aren't you the guy who gets pissed when people link bad websites? Yeah, I've avoided that stew since I fell into it by way of the former Makeoutclub byway. Boo to that!    

I want LN to start writing more modern poetry and hyping it like he runs a hip hop label. The joint-o-vision arc has been pretty funny (in blog form).

You mean that there's more to SG than just the picture packs floating around on eDonkey? Whoda thunk it?

Andalucia just finished a semiotics (or something) paper on SG, and, instead of dropping the $10 for research, she just searched SoulSeek and downloaded from there. Apparently, one picture is of a woman in bondage gear pouring Pabst Blue Ribbon on herself. If that doesn't tell you the (fake) target audience, I don't know what would.

Wow, it's like an explosion at the Pretentious Hipster Factory. Was she also wearing a black trucker hat emblazoned with an upside-down cross? Because that's what I'm picturing.

So, Bobby mentioned it, but why is PBR such a hipster thing?

As I understand it, it's the hipster appropriation of symbols of the underclass -- basically, the same reason that trucker hats were popular and '70's-style retro advertising t-shirts are big now. Consciously adopting products seen as "shoddy" or "gauche" despite having better means reflects a certain hip irony, I think.

Feel free to correct me, people who actually know things about this.

That's kind of the idea I had, but to me, PBR is simply really cheap but not absoulte shit beer (though I almost never drink it).  I'd never made the connection between the two before this board.

Two words: Knoxville. Jackass.

It's absolute shit beer.

Hipsters "lower" on the totem pole will like PBR.  Others will wear Pabst shirts or "I heart Pabst" bracelets, but won't touch the stuff.  Also, note that the suicide girl was not, in fact, DRINKING the PBR.

Beer thread split into a new thread in Sports & Leisure so we can theoretically talk about the actual blogs in here.

So, about the "blog, revisited" concept: Which is weirder, the realization of how long the blogs have been running now or the lameness of doing reposts of optional material?

That won't be necessary, thanks.
