I grew up with this kid. Our moms were pregant together before that. In the 7th grade we made a secret blood pact sealed with two tears -- one from my eye, and one from his. He was being totally serious.

This guy is my former roommate. I can assure you it is complete satire...the guy is a liberal

it must suck to fail so miserably at satire.

I went to high school with this joker. When I got over the initial shock of seeing his name on this website, I read on... and laughed my liberal ass off.

a piece like that makes me wants to find a nice liberal woman, and get her pregnant just so I can have her abort the fetus. seems a little over the top though. he wasn't even trying to make sense logically speaking - which most conservatives *at least* fake.

Oh yeah, and he is on Something Awful

Well, he also works for the Travesty, so this piece can't be *that* serious.

Normally, you can swing a dead cat and hit a musician in Austin. Last week, you could swing a dead cat and hit a musician with a mod haircut. I swear I thought I was in London circa 1960. Is Pete Townshend collecting royalties on this? WTF? Thankfully, the not-so-ironic trucker hats and Elvis sunglasses seem to be on the outs. I saw a lonely trucker hat in the middle of Congress Ave. sidewalk on Friday. I should've stopped to take a picture.

Pretty sure this is meant to be ironic. Although he's right, hipsters ARE scum.

Hardly worth dissecting, but you would think a right-wing prick like him might realize that SXSW = $$$$$ for all Austinites.

That is prize hilarity. Far too funny to be sincere.

I'm guessing Eric wasn't at the Yuppie Pricks showcase.
