She had funny hipster jokes on her profile and\u00a0challenged\u00a0suitors to match her wit.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi,<\/p>\n

Great hipster jokes. Let me try.<\/p>\n

How many hipsters does it take to change a lightbulb? None their mom does it just like she does everything else for them.<\/p>\n

Look it was a first shot. It was in the right spirit.<\/p>\n

I don’t understand Downtown Abbey either. But I do miss Downtown Julie Brown. Is Abbey’s show similar?<\/p>\n

Cheers,
\nAnthony<\/p>\n

She responded.<\/em><\/p>\n

I miss Downtown Julie Brown and even Kurt Loder. (Remember him? What’s he doing now??). I miss the old MTV in general. The one that used to play music videos and interview artists. And not this trashy “reality” TV Jersey Shore bullshit. Sigh.<\/p>\n

Did you make up that hipster joke? A for Effort. Because a lot people email me that same joke with the punchline: “It’s a really obscure number that you wouldn’t understand.” So, you really moved the genre forward. \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, now it’s on.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi,<\/p>\n

I got that joke from the anthology, “Hipster jokes and online dating: A guide to whatever. Look I really like Japanese noise metal trance. Your hair isn’t in your eyes so you wouldn’t understand.”<\/p>\n

The title is a bit long, but no one reads anymore. And… glad I could move the genre forward. I think I’ll start working on a new collection called, “Yo Yo Mama Hipster Jokes – the rarest collection of cello and skinny jean jokes.”<\/p>\n

I always liked Kurt Loder’s droll MTV news presentation. When they brought in that John Norris guy I felt I was too old for MTV.<\/p>\n

Do you think if I hacked into weather.com I could make it stop raining?<\/p>\n

Cheers,
\nAnthony<\/p>\n

Aren’t I clever? She replied with more witty banter. It was so good I had to recheck her profile. The conversation shifted to BitCoins (I don’t know how, it’s all absurd). I sent this follow up.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mind if I borrow some Bitcoins? There must have been a hole in my pants pocket cause I think they all fell out.<\/p>\n

I think we should get together and discuss the breakdown between Google douchebags and hipster losers. Or just crack each other up.<\/p>\n

That was two weeks ago. Maybe she was hit by a bus?<\/em><\/p>\n
