There was these two college aged girls standing in fron of me in the checkout line at Target. One kinda looked like Pippi Longstocking without the pigtails sticking out from the sides of her head and the other was just... chubby. Both had tats, multiple piercings, and used the F word a lot. Loudly. But what else was notable were the Obama pins attached to their handbags. They prominently displayed their political loyalties on their fashion accesories.
It got me to thinking. Here I am, an old stodgedy geezer in his mid 40's rooting for the same old/same old, namely John McCain. You know, the old guard, The Establishment, the second of the two predictable vanilla choices: Hillary Hellbeast or Vietnam hero McCain.
Then it hit me. The reason all of you Obamites are so enamored of your candidate is because each of you are hip and trendy! Yes! And voting for the avant gard young black dude is just that-- hip and trendy. If he were to come out with a new urban clothing line you'd quickly head off to the mall to snap up the latest in sartorial fare, complete with HOPE (tm) logos plastered all over it. If he came up with a snazzy little rap tune, you'd soon have it playing on the Top 40 of the pop and country charts moments after it made #1 on the R&B hit list. It'd go platinum before the record even reached the store shelves.
Well, I want to be hip and trendy too. So henceforth I am an Obamite (errr, I might have to coin a new and more hip phrase. That sounds dangerously close to Sodomite or catamite...) as well. Go Obama! Go, you incredibly cool black dude, go! By voting for you by extension I am cool too. Now I just need to throw some F-bombs around for a total immersion in trendiness.

This will mark the first time that anyone has *ever* referred to me as "hip" or "trendy". I think I'm flattered?

Don't read a candidate by his followers.
Obama is micro-distileries.
Obama is i-phones, text messaging and memes!

Lol, Elinda. Ok, if an Obamaite tat is what is required to show my new and vastly improved hip trendiness, then a tat is what it'll be. I can't promise a piercing though. Needles scare the crap outta me.
Yes, Nexa, you are hip and trendy. Wear that label proudly, girl. As for Joph? Well, he was hip and trendy before hip and trendy was cool. Proof of this is in his taking of a Peruvian bride. Only the uber-hip would think to go Andean for a proto-trendy marital accessory. If any of you are to follow in his footsteps, you could still be in on the groundfloor of what is certain to be a national fad. Mark it down.
Gbaji, are you with me? Matching Obamite tats?

If I am the definition of hip and trendy, my followers should start:
1. Wearing ergonomically correct shoes
2. Cutting their own hair
3. Chewing nails off to make them even rather than clipping them
4. Buying nearly all clothes at goodwill
5. Using pencil erasors to back earrings
That should get you started.

I'm pretty much the antithesis of hip and trendy. I'm also a stodgedy geezer in my mid-40's rooting for Obama, and I'm not interested in any new urban clothes. I do "drop the F-bomb" quite a bit though.

Let's not forget 6. Enjoy cleaning the bathroom.

So. Do our "Obamaman(tm)" tats come in a selection of "Indian", "Policeman" and "Construction worker"?

By this type of analysis, I imagine Totem is some talentless, badly dressed woman who sings off key. He wants to be snazzy and retro but can't achieve it. By voting for McCain, he establishes his retrohipness, as being so square, he suddenly becomes hip again. I think Totem is steeped in the Culture of Irony. Now to break out the ChUck Norris references.

To be fair, it was a slow day in the House, so you can't blame her for wanting to text you.
Just as Planned.
