Crap - we didn't have hipsters when I went to college, at least not that I am aware of, but we had the preppies. Stuck up self-important useless twats. He probably feels he did his part for global climate change by buying that bag. I wonder what his idea was - trying to educate people into using them (if he had linked it, or discussed it, perhaps, unless he did an earlier post, but then why not reference it?) or he did it to show the people who know what he got how awesome and socially responsible he is - gaining suburban creed? Definitely not street creed. I'm not saying it's not a step in the right direction - I recycle (despite some downsides in the system), and have a trunk full of tote bags (you get a ton as a teacher) that I always forget to bring into the store with me. Oh well.BarnOwl wrote:Re the tote bag: http://www.seabags.com/Badger3k wrote:Or you could go with the post that came over the main feed today. Three pictures of a tote bag. That's it. Nothing else, not even words or a description why. The dude is mental. Although, to be honest, I see him as having huge muttonchop sideburns, maybe a sherlock-holmes style pipe (the old kind, from the older movies), and I am not sure how he can get the extra consonants in his language, but I'm sure he'll make the effort. Maybe a Victorian waistcoat as well...ConcentratedH2O, OM wrote:It's always reassuring to realize that a major part of atheism/skepticism's public face is truly committed to promoting anti-theist and skeptical values. Hardcore, I can't wait for Phisioproffee's appearance at the FfTB conference next week if his input will be anything like this:

You can attribute many of the PhysioProfferings to the fact that the guy is a privileged East Coast preppie douche with a massive ego. Unfortunately this type abounds in academic biomedical research - you can't swing a dead transgenic mouse at the Society for Neuroscience meeting without hitting about 5 of them. Many are quite successful, but that doesn't change the fact that they're insufferable preppie douches. He probably thinks he'll save the world from climate change by buying an overpriced tote bag made out of a recycled sail.
