Listen up hipsters, did you honestly think vintage bikes were a new thing? No, your dad was a two-wheeled king before you were even falling off training wheels. 

So, when you’re dusting off your dad’s old velo-swag in the garage and thinking about stealing his pedal-whip because you want to convert it to the most badass fixie ever, remember that your dad marked his territory by tea bagging the top-rail. You can wash a frame, but you can’t wash away memories.

Dads are the Original Hipsters book is now shipping from Amazon. I might be bias, but I think it’s the best Father’s Day gift you can get him this year. 

Happy New Years Eve from Dads are the Original Hipsters.

Your dad threw down on New Years and he was usually naked before the ball even dropped. He wasn’t just celebrating bringing in a new year, he was celebrating surviving a year of PBR-street-fighting, skirt chasing, high speed, hell raising. And, when midnight finally came, he locked lips with every lady at the party.

So hipsters, when you’re whiskey-rape-kissing some poor girl who is wearing bright red lipstick and black tights, remember to go big tonight and make your dad proud because he was the king of ringing in the New Year. 

P.S. sorry the absence from blogging, I have been traveling like crazy. More to come in 2012 so keep submitting your photos. 

Your dad knew about irony before you did and he had “Le Car” to prove it. For $300 and a half roll of mint Lifesavers, he purchased rolling satire. His “chariot” cemented his place as “The Most Ironic Man in the World” because he bought a car that wasn’t a car, but called itself a car by writing car on the car. He was a visionary of irony that liked everything everyone else hated so once he made it popular he could hate on it and say he liked it before it was cool. He liked disco in the 60’s, hair metal in the 70’s, and wore Clarkston High School track shirts even though he’d never ran and didn’t go to that school. Everything he has ever done has been ironic, including loving you. 

So hipsters, in 2012 when you’re claiming that you voted for Rick Perry after the elections and saying that it was cool because nobody else did it or growing a mustache and refusing to admit that it doesn’t look terrible, remember this…

Your dad is so ironic that after spending his entire youth rebelling against his father the most ironic thing he could do was become him by having you and being a dad himself (which is also the same track you’re currently on, and yet another example of something else he did before you).
