T.I.T.S. 

Invite

In the beginning, there was The Trucker. And he was UnCool.


And lo, the trucker did place upon his head a Trucker's Cap. And it was UnCool.


Then did The Hipster look upon the Trucker's Cap and see that it was uncool. Yet inside his heart, he knew that, worn Ironically, the Trucker’s Cap would be come Hip.


And thus was the Ironic Trucker’s Cap born, and it was Hip.


Then came the time when the Trucker’s Cap had spread to the far corners of Hipdom, and lo was it taken upon the head of the King-of-All-That-Was-Hip, Farrell from the Neptunes.


And these were the golden days of the Ironic Trucker’s Cap, when all who were Hip wore the Trucker’s Cap Ironically and those who were Not Hip would look with wonder and awe (and insecurity) at The Hipsters who would dare to be UnCool.


Yet then did the leader of the UnCool, Justin Timberlake, take from his personal shopper a Trucker’s Cap. Holding the Trucker’s Cap in his hand, and thinking that Hipness was a uniform that he could wear, Justin Timberlake did place the Trucker’s Cap upon his head.


And with the sound of a snowfall disappearing into the ocean, the Ironic Trucker’s Cap was extinguished from the world, and the UnIronic Trucker’s Cap was born. And it was UnCool.


And the UnIronic did spread to the far corners of the Earth. And The Hipsters did mourn Its passing.


Now, gazing upon the once again UnIronic, UnCool symbol of the Trucker’s Cap, did two hipsters realize the true possibility of the Double-Ironic Trucker’s Cap.


What other item, they thought, has completed a cycle from UnHip, to Ironic-Hip to UnIronic-UnHip in so short a time? And in this cycle they saw the face of Hip, and understood their Divine Purpose.


And so did they conceive of a party, wherein all would don the Trucker’s Cap one last time, but this time the Irony would be doubled. For the hipsters at the party would understand at the time they were wearing them that the Trucker’s Caps would be Ironically worn to make fun of those who UnIronically wear them thinking that it is Ironic.


And so was a party called, and these words written, and your invitation sent.


And suchly and thusly was the party a rip-roaring success, wherein all drank quite a lot and those who wished to get laid did so, and those who drank too much were not sick upon the carpet and the face of Hip was seen by all.


Amen.
