So NOW are you okay with it?!? Here’s an excerpt from newly revised novel, The Hipster Huckleberry Finn.

Jim was monstrous proud about it, and he got so he wouldn’t hardly notice the other hipsters. Hipsters would come miles to hear Jim tell about it, and he was more looked up to than any hipster in that country. Strange hipsters would stand with their mouths open and look him all over, same as if he was a wonder. Hipsters is always talking about witches in the dark by the kitchen fire; but whenever one was talking and letting on to know all about such things, Jim would happen in and say, “Hm! What you know ‘bout witches?” and that hipster was corked up and had to take a back seat.

Buy it here. Via Gothamist.

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. not the h-word, I’m too busy today to get all worked up about people beating the h-words and the h-word parodies to death for the 12,000th time.

  2. Hipsters will always be united, even thru the times of tumultuous tribulation. (I bet you didn´t knew that work existed!)

  3. Just replace the “N” word with “Hipster” and it’s all of a sudden clever and commercially lucrative?

    Really?

    Really?

  4. Why not make Jim a zombie? They’re far more hip than hipsters right now, sadly. I’m tired of the zombie trope, but it just won’t seem to die.
