Dirty hippie chronicles: Day 2
Now that I have a working computer, I realized there are lots of purchases I'll need to make. C'est dommage.
Luckily, with what I will save by not buying anti-virus protection and avoiding the shower -- I can spend on trucker hats, vintage t-shirts and an artistic, tortured hipster attitude. Actually, the attitude was included free with my purchase of the hippiebook, along with a generous sample of hemp.
But I'll also need to find a way to pay for a few trips to Williamsburg, Brooklyn. If I'm going to be a modern day hippie, that means "hipster" and Williamsburg is the place, man.
Also, as a requirement for ownership of a hippiebook -- I'll have to have lots of sex with men whose names I don't know -- don't fret -- the inevitable condom malfunction and subsequent abortion costs will be on the taxpayer's dime.
Speaking of which, Maia (another macbook Conservative) and I saw "Knocked Up" last night in Los Feliz.
We navigated the streets, surrounded by men with greasy hair, soul patches and hair longer than hers and mine combined.
The movie was a conservative trip -- but don't read any further if you haven't seen it -- I'll mention some SPOILERS.
Are you with me? Good.
Maia was the perfect movie companion. Not only was she understanding and sympathic at the end of the movie when my decrepit bladder was about to burst, but she also knew about something walking into the theater. Something would make me scream and cover my eyes -- and never said a word!
But back to "Knocked Up" -- it was no 40 Year Old Virgin, but good in a different way.
Judd Apatow is a genius. He peppers his film with ribald humor and gets libtards to watch movies that exhibit conservative values.
Between the undeniable (but never explained) pro-life message -- it also sent some good "this is the result of random sex" with the screaming and vagina shots towards the end of the movie.
After leaving the theater, Maia said, "I'm not sure I ever want to have children." Which is a great, "don't have sex" message to the younger set. I've always had the notion that condoms should be sold in the same aisle as diapers, baby formula and pregnancy tests.
A subconscious, "use these every time and use them wisely" kind of thing.
So not only did our female lead not abort, but the dorky/loser guy responsible for the child bucked up, took responsibility and ended up being a likable and believable father character.
Why don't more people make movies like this?
I'll be back soon, time to apply for my entitlements.

Oh the irony...
She thinks that because she's a MacPerson now she doesn't need protection :P.
There are fewer viruses for Macs, not none. Of course, I'm not against taking a calculated risk, just sayin...

First you get a Mac. Now you're speaking (OK, typing) French, the international lingua capitulata.
Oy.

Hi Mox,
I have no sense of smell, have Planned Parenthood on speed dial, and my name is...uh, that's not important.
Call me.

Having a Macbook doesn't make you a liberal any more than having a PC makes you a conservative. Object fetishism, on the other hand, does seem to be a libtard attitude, as if, by buying the "right" car, computer or other mass-marketed consumer item, you're making a statement about how much more you feel about saving the planet or somesuch nonsense than the rest of us. My advice is to download Norman Rockwell's portrait of Ronald Reagan and set it up as your desktop background, but first, take a shower, shave your legs and pitch those Birkenstocks in the trash.

Hahaha... how'd Macs become 'liberal' anyway? I guess they're just preferred by the snooty and snooty=liberal.
Oh, and:
Ooooooooooody!!

Agree that Knocked Up was an enjoyable movie and had a pro-life bent to it.
Also, there were at least three actors from The Office (which I love) in it.
KU had good side stories which was a strength of The 40 Year Old Virgin.
But those loser-geeks ...bleh! (And I have a soft spot for both types, losers and geeks.)

Hey Mox, it's actually cool if you know their first names, or their nicknames. It's just their last names you're not supposed to know. Don't worry about that though, if you slip up and ask them in a weak moment, they'll gladly lie for you.

Hysterically funny! I like your style, warped as it is. Keep it up.
Anyway, I would consider it an honor and a privilege if you would add my blog "The Tygrrrr Express" www.blacktygrrrr.wordpress.com to your list of linked sites
if you feel the quality is high.
I came across your blog through Michelle Malkin's website, since I enjoy her
writing.
Happy summer.

Hey Moxie...I don't believe you know my real name..and I'm not too far away...just a quick drive from the Inland Empire. Let me know if I can help you out with that anonymous sex thing....

Moxie buys a Mac.
The GOP Senate goes into the crapper.
Coincidence? I think not.
How do you explain yourself, young lady?

I have had a Mac for years- why? Because Elle Woods had one in Legally Blonde. (I was easily influenced in my teenage years) She was clearly not above personal hygiene so it may be time to shave your legs again.
Love your site.
