Sometimes I do wonder how pictures are selected for Hipster’s Popular List. Â What is their algorithm?
In any case, I was a little surprised with this selection. Â A recent Windward sunrise showcased a pink sky but sadly, utility lines marred the view. Â Still though, Hipsters loved it.
You hug him of course! So by now, you’ve seen the Clippers’ Blake Griffin posterize Kendrick Perkins with his ferocious throw down.
The Thunder’s big man couldn’t stop Blake, but were you watching after the dunk? Clippers center, DeAndre Jordan, hugged Blake, and it took him awhile to break free from the embrace.
A new trailer for The Hunger Games is out. A few new shots but still lots of scenes from the Reaping. The pictures of the Capitol are interesting, and there are a few views of a stylized Katniss.
Hat tip to the Red Band Project. The games begin on March 23, 2012.
Hip doesn’t have to be new, even the old can be hip. Like this picture I took a month ago that only now made its way to the Hipster Popular Page. Do you see the airplane in the skies above the Ko Olina Beach Lagoon?
Anyway it’s been done and redone, Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal is a great song.
Be it the original done by MJ.
Alien Ant Farm’s rocking cover.
The explosive classic rendition by the 2CELLOS.
And most recently on GLEE with an appearance by the 2CELLOS.
Sorry, GLEEks, while Santana and Sebastian did an adequate job, I think the 2CELLOS had to be muted since they were blowing Smooth Criminal out of the water!
Had to chuckle at this one. While doing some basic background research on Anna Miller’s, I got these results from Google’s Image Search. Hey, is that my old kitchen counter pictured?!?
Yes, sure enough, it is my old counter under the Anna Miller’s pie tin. So I can now claim that I’ve contributed in defining Anna Miller’s on the Internet. 🙂
But I still don’t know what’s so special about their pie tins that require a deposit.
For all my years of collecting and wearing kicks, I’ve never owned a pair of Nike Air Force 1’s. Yep, it’s true. The closest I got was my pair of the Air Force 1 and Air Jordan 3 fusion, aka the AFJ3 but never the classic AF1.
Back in 2007, I thought that would be my AF1 breakout year with the focus on the Round Mound of Rebound, Charles Barkley. But I never pulled the trigger.
Most recently, the Year of the Dragon AF1 caught my eye. Its design is clean and simple and ethnic. But then I learned this was a Quickstrike, not a general release. That means waiting in line for the hopes of getting a pair. And did I mention the $200 price tag?
So I passed on the AF1 YotD, but a funny thing happened. I came across the new AF1 Camo (as in camouflage). Available in black or an olive green “cargo khaki,” the images of these AF1s stuck with me. The colors are still somewhat muted but that camo pattern is unmistakable. I couldn’t get these out of my head. Even better, they’re a general release, costing half of the Year of the Dragons. So I got them.
And wow, they don’t disappoint. The cargo khaki colorway is greener than they look on Nike’s site but in a good way. There’s definitely some character with these kicks, and I am pleasantly surprised.
I guess morning coffee from Starbucks is hip with this pic making the Popular List on Hipster.com.
Heh, viewed over 2500 times?!
Or is it still? I never fully knew just how big Anna Miller’s is or was. Outside of Hawaii, did you know Anna Miller’s saw popular growth in Japan. Was the appeal the food, the “big pie racks,” the diner ambiance, or those fitted uniforms of the waitresses? All of the above no doubt. In Japan, there were a string of Anna Miller’s locations which have been closing their doors over the past two decades.
In Hawaii, all I can remember is the single Anna Miller’s location by Pearlridge, sharing the parking lot with Circuit City Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I’ve only eaten there a handful of times. Instead, they were the source of pies. Going to a party? Pickup a pie or two from Anna Miller’s. And of course, you knew when strawberry pies were in season with that huge banner on display. But don’t forget to factor in the cost of the pie tin.
Sure, I thought the waitress’ uniform, especially the cut and fit of them, were a bit… odd. But since they’ve been the same for so long, you kinda just accepted that’s how they were. Little did I know the iconic impact these uniforms had on the Japanese culture. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “big pie racks.”
Looking for a haircut? Dudes and children have it easy at this place. But for the ladies, it’s one and only one woman welcomed at a time.
What is the secret to your pet’s good health and well being? From the looks of things at the VCA Kaneohe Animal Hospital, it has to be Coke products, lots and lots of Coca-Cola for your pets. 😉
Sorry folks, Pulpconnection was out most of the day due to issues with hosting provider, Dreamhost. There have been minor glitches with Dreamhost in the past, and most often, my tinkering is the cause of outages. But today, Dreamhost had to repair some major stuff that took time.
Anyways, all is resolved and we’re back online.
