You're a hipster if.....

[Crump's brother]

Just to clarify.....the hipsters here in Portland OR are imports--mostly from the midwest but Austin and Asheville seem to be big pipelines. I've got a hipster rental house two doors down from me and the bi-annual rotating license plates are mind boggling: Kansas, OH, TX, WI, Missouri, Indiana....Every six months there's a box of free polyester pants out front. Mostly the local kids are granola's or rednecks (with, of course, the ironic disdain of the imports).

Thankfully my cannibis fueled two week stay in Forest Grove in 2000 was hipster free.

Two weeks in Forest Grove? Unless you're a migrant worker or were lecturing at Pacific you needed a lot of pot!

I had buddies at Pacific that I met while traveling in Ecuador. I know I did a lot of fishing, I recall very little else.

Hard to beat the fishing here (and it isn't a hipster approved activity).

I love to fish.

Sorry everybody.

Fishing is a hipster activity now? Damn

Me too, tributaries mostly, I like to stay out of the main stream.

Can we bring back dings?

 

[Thump]

Can we bring back dings?

Please!

 

[jlb1705]

Dings are so passé.

Fishing doesn't make you a hipster, but some hipsters do fish.

You can spot them because they use words like "tributary."

If hipsters fish, they'll only do so using a fly rod or simple string-on-a-pole.

Meh, Fly fishing was ruined long ago... there's nothing hipsters can do to help

Be thankful you don't live in Orvis-ville, New England. I was using a fly rod with an ultralight spinning reel to catch crappies-you would have thought I used kittens as bait.

I tried to go to Orvis once, but my credit rating was insufficient to gain admission to the store. It amuses me that people spend so much cash on reels that in that particular discipline is a string organizer.
