Mind you, I said "appropriate", not "hilarious".

Link fail?

[ron_newman]

looks fine to me

[pierceheart.livejournal.com]

Not for me, link fail. :(

[jojotbird.livejournal.com]

link fails for me too :(

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

I see no link at all - I'm using Netscrape, if that matters.

image is http://pics.livejournal.com/firepail/pic/00006sa2/s320x240 and is a link to http://pics.livejournal.com/firepail/pic/00006sa2/ . Both look fine in Safari. But it looks like Firefox is unable to display an inline TIFF file, which is what this picture is.

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

to be fair, I don't actually SEE a link. I just assumed there must be one, and that it failed...

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

I am on Internet Explorer, and I just see a little red X.

Next time, Flickr. :-)

Don't waste your time trying to get it to work, it's not even remotely funny.

Yuppies or Hipsters?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_mattt/]

I have to choose one? Can't I hate them both equally?

[clevernonsense.livejournal.com]

Self-loathing is so last decade

Re: Yuppies or Hipsters?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_mattt/]

That's quite a leap there!

Or should that be ...

[ron_newman]

Hippies or Yupsters?

Re: Or should that be ...

[firepail.livejournal.com]

probably!

[firepail.livejournal.com]

someone's grumpy this morning...

Well, it should be "dislike" :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_mattt/]

I don't hate anybody.

As for hippies, I've always loved them. Now the dreaded yupster hybrid, well, that's another story :)

Re: Yuppies or Hipsters?

[firepail.livejournal.com]

You could despise one and hate the other maybe?

I won't make you choose.

[maelithil.livejournal.com]

It really isn't funny at all.

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

No, it's not funny, and also not actually specifically relevant to Davis Square. And broken.

firepail, please fix it *and* put it behind a cut. Thanks.

[firepail.livejournal.com]

I put in the cut and added an alternative link, but as you don't think it is relevant--would you prefer me to delete it? I thought with all the mumblings over yuppies and hipsters in this community that a comic that suggests that maybe they aren't all that different might be slightly amusing or interesting. I didn't intend for it to upset anyone.

[m00n.livejournal.com]

I own a beat up fixed gear bike but no car but I shop at Whole Foods. Which one am I?

[firepail.livejournal.com]

probably neither?

[m00n.livejournal.com]

That's ridiculous. Everyone has a category!

[kpht.livejournal.com]

dammit, i wanted comic relief, and there was none. siiiigh.

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing yupster.

Then again, I don't know you.

[maelithil.livejournal.com]

I don't even have a license, let alone a car, and I shop at the farmer's market. I'd like to say I'm a hippie, but I neither do drugs nor forget to bathe.

Why must putting people in tiny irrelevant boxes be so complicated? :(

[m00n.livejournal.com]

It's only complicated if you make an effort to strive for accuracy ;-)

[arrowintwolakes.livejournal.com]

Then again, I don't know you.

So definitely yupster.
