Some months back, Jodi began spouting off some seriously deranged opinions about dessert options. As a last ditch effort to save face upon realizing her losing position, she created a push-poll in a weak attempt to foist her dry, nasty-ass brownies upon the pie-loving masses. She lost. This evening finds us at another stalemate as her flights of fancy once again conflict with the cold, hard truth of reality. The issue at hand is suitable venues for rock concerts. Look, Ma! I can make a push-poll, too!

yinz will note the results are not displayed in what's called a "brownie chart."

OH PLEASE! You are totally campaigning at the polls. The wording is completely biased and unfair. What kind of Boss Tweed nonsense is this?

I don't know, Jodi. The wording reads pretty fair to me. I mean he said "decent sound" and "stupid hippies." Where are the biases you write of?

First of all - what Ericka said. Secondly, it's not like you didn't use misleading phrasing in you intellectually dishonest poll. "Disgusting pie" and "warm, delicious brownie." The voting public recognized that pie is never disgusting and brownies are never warm nor delicious when voting in your poll, so chances are they will look past my leading comments as well.

I didn't say disgusting, I said fruity. Get your facts straight ballot box stuffer.

Right. Nobody would ever derive a negative connotation from the word "fruity." I get it: outdoor concerts are a key plank of the Brownieublican platform.

Why can't you just run a clean campaign? What's next hotrod some willy hortonesque ads featuring me hoola-hooping? Have you no shame?

You're a fine one to talk about a clean campaign, Jodi Rove. I doubt you'd know a clean campaign if it bit you in the top-income-bracket tax cut.

I'm an unemployed writer, remember? I'm in the no-income-tax bracket. I'm the kind of person who can't afford swanky, fruity pies or VIP rooms at hot concert venues. No, no, it's 99-cent cosmic brownies and free concerts in the park for me.

You should ashamed flaunting all that you have in front of those of us who have nothing.

I am all about sharing the wealth. I am thrilled to have money deducted from my paychecks to fund pie and indoor concerts for all. A society is judged on how it treats the least among us. I'd say the government doesn't take enough, but too often my hard-earned tax dollars go toward funding I can't in good conscience support - like dried-up brownies or rained-out Dave Matthews Band concerts.

Free your mind, hotrod, and the rest will follow. There is more to outdoor concerts then hippies twirling to DMB and bad brownies.

What, mosquito bites? The potential for being rained on? Outdoor concerts suck ass. Live music is meant to be experienced indoors.

I'm just now starting to distinguish the pattern. Who likes outdoor concerts and "special" brownies more than anyone else in the whole world? Hippies, that's who!

Jodi is a Hippie.

Explains a lot actually.

Holy crap! How did we not see this before? It all fits.

I am NOT A HIPPIE. The thought of me being a hippie kind of makes me laugh my head off because it's so wrong.

You're clearly high from too many special brownies, hippie.

Goddamn hippies and their drugs...

Riddle me this. . . how can one be a post-ironic hipster and a hippie at the same time?

You've long denied being a post-ironic hipster.

I blame myself for being slow to recognize the telltale signs of hippieism.

There are no signs, because I am not a hippie.

Sure you aren't, Moon Unit.

She does wear Birkenstocks and I've seen her in a long denim skirt numerous times. And...she went to hippiefest last year and loved it.

Uh huh.

It was the early 90s, I was just another pathetic-faux-hippie following the trend. I was young and foolish. I have long since seen the error of my ways.

And while I did go to Hippiefest, you can ask heather and wolf how much I enjoyed the hippies.

Look Starchild, we're not judging you. We just wanted an explanation for your leanings.

I choose the things that are right and true and good. How can I help it if my leanings are not the pathetic, post-ironic hipster norm? I march to the beat of a different drummer.

That drummer plays the bongos and is totally in tune with the earth's polyrhythms, man. Far out.

You don't know me at all. I'm as close to being a hippie as you are to being a happy, well-adjusted person.

Everybody that knows me in person says I laugh a whole hell of a lot for someone who claims to be so depressed. What's your point, Rainbow?

Everybody who knows me knows how much I detest dirty hippies. What's your point?

You detest yourself? That's really sad...

I rule! I find your need to categorize me and stuff me into some sort of pre-labeled box utterly disturbing. You should open your mind just a little and realize that a girl can love brownies, outdoor concerts, the replacements, and not be a total hippie.

Opening one's mind is the kind of bullshit that hippies always support. Everything is clear now.

You can call me a hippie all you want. I will laugh maniacally everytime because you are so so so so wrong. SO WRONG.

My, how she doth protest!

If someone called me a hipster or a hippie, I probably would just let it slide b/c neither are true and it wouldn't bother me.

I wonder... are there some parallels between post-ironic hipsters and hippies? Let's explore the origins of the words "hippie" and "hipster."
