"Stick out your can,'cuz I'm the garbage man!" -The Cramps ca. 1980-something. Hipsters can kiss my fat white 30-something ass. At least until they come up with some ORIGINAL craze to call their own. In the meantime, Sanitation workers rule. I think hipsters should be conscripted to do waste-management work in this city. As my father often said to me: it builds character. Swabbing up one's own puke is an onerous task. H Miss Heather

They are neat caps! But oh geez . . . I bet I will count at least 10 or 15 guys wearing one on the L Train by Saturday. It was "cool" until you mentioned it, Gothamist. When it becomes ubiquitous, it a'int cool no mo'. Sorry . . . I'm buying a NYC Parks Department (London Plane tree) leaf logo t-shirt. Now that's cool. Shhhh . . . don't say anything. I want to be a hipster for 5 minutes or so.

yum, yum, I love Coney Island Whitefish. The skin is a bit chewy, but once you get to the middle...you've reached a slice of heaven.

"Urban whitefish"? Are those related to the original species, Coney Island whitefish?

if this hat is for hipsters why not jack up the price to $85.99? that seems fair
