this is truly hip.
i know hipness when i see it,
and i can definitely say i've seen it here today, folks.
---beck hanson
i blame illicit substance use on the part of the 'rents for this oversight, but this is just conjecture.

| since the hiptionary's inception, i have been absolutely deluged with urgent queries as to my identity. well, children, the wait is at an end. finally, right? | |||||||||||||||||

| i was born in 1979 in london, but through a series of unfortunate events grew up in a rag-tag family of miners in appalachia. i always knew i was different, but this knowledge was crystallized for me on the eve of my marriage to my cousin jesco. his fierce love for elvis and big-wheeled trucks brought home to me how out of place i was there, and i left to pursue a career in the only thing i ever loved....hipness. to that end, i moved to texas and went to southwestern university, which i believed to be a small outpost of hip in the searing desert that is texas culture as a whole. well, i wasn't quite right, and i wasn't quite wrong, and i can't say i miss it too badly now that i am in the workaday world. i'll be singing a different tune next time i get bitten by some ungrateful cur at the vet's though. probably something more bitter. or perhaps a show tune. really i spend most of my time trying to get back to my british homeland. and inventing inane drinking games*. | |||||||||||||||||
| i know what you're thinking- what does a 12 year-old know about hipness? fair enough, but i'm 23** not that that's any guarantee of hip.... | |||||||||||||||||
| guarantee of hip: this is truly hip. i know hipness when i see it, and i can definitely say i've seen it here today, folks. ---beck hanson |

| ...this is, though. | |||||||||||||||||
| * do you want to watch the news, but find yourself nodding off as all those foreign words blend together in your head? did you always wish there was a way to combine drinking and educating yourself on world affairs? well, sport, watching the news, the drinking game might be just the thing for you! in the latest version, players drink every time the hear the words saddam hussein, george bush or troops. one can adjust the words according to the level of intoxication one wishes to reach. other possible words to drink at are iraq, tank, and bombs. have fun! and learn something! | |||||||||||||||||
| **for reasons as yet unclear, my parents saw fit to procure two birth certificates for me. according to one, i'm 23. i think this is the correct one, though i suppose i will never be absolutely sure... i blame illicit substance use on the part of the 'rents for this oversight, but this is just conjecture. |

| *** that damn two birth certificate thing has caused a lot of trouble lately while i try to file my taxes. apparently, everyone in the social security office and the irs thinks i'm 24. i got charged $5 to refile my taxes because i put in the 'wrong' birthday. having two birthdays isn't all it's cracked up to be. i don't even get two sets of presents, because they're on the same day, just in different years. oh, the trials of being a hippie child.... | |||||||||||||||||
