Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Judge John Hodgman Rules


"Richard" writes:
My aunt, who has lived in Brooklyn all her 80-plus years, had surgery to implant artificial hips.  She says she is now entitled to be called a "hipster."  I disagree and say she has no right to claim this title.  Who is correct?

Judge John Hodgman rules:
Unless her new hip is fashioned out of reclaimed, dovetail-jointed oak salvaged from sunken pre-Prohibition rye whiskey barrels, the answer is:  She is not a hipster.  She is just making an age-appropriately-corny pun.  Thank goodness you are there to ruin your nice old auntie's fun!
P.S.  That's sarcasm, you miserable hipster.
