Transplants & WiffleBall

Looks like some more transplanted douchebag young adults are toying with the irony of playing another childrens game: Wiffleball. This is a conversation from WWW.WILLIAMSBOARD.COM. These fucks happen to be from Boston. Can't you fucking 24/7/365 rent driving vacationers join a real baseball, softball, basketball etc. league? No, you can't, it has to be different.
Anyway, when you read below you'll see it's just another excuse to drink and not play something competitively.

| OK, I tried this last year, and got lazy. But now I have another Lower Allston Wiffleball transplant to organize with, and we are going to make this happen this summer. We are going to start playing regular wiffleball games this summer. Location is yet to be determined, but it will be in the GP/WB area, if anybody has any ideas let me know. Most likely will be Saturday afternoons. This was fun as hell when we did it up in Boston. If you are interested post here. |

| Location should be somewhere where we can drink. Grilling would be a plus. Does anybody know what the deal is with the paved baseball fields on the other side of Bedford from McCarren? |

| That might be tough on a Saturday. There are actual softball leagues (with umps and all) that play there during the summer and most likely have a Park's Dept. permit.

Wiffle ball? You gotta be fucking kidding me.
Oh well, who cares what games they play? It's no skin off my nose. I'm a real New Yorker and I like real New York working class sports like bowling, basketball and stickball. But the hipsters can play tiddlywinks for all I care, as long as they don't get in my way.

I agree with Eddie. Who the hell cares what these kids waste their time doing? No one gives you shit for being a macho, provincial, douchebag. You sound like hitler.

Anti-hipster sentiment often comes from people who simply can't keep up with social change and are envious of those who can. Remember...you can always rate the amount of insecurity someone has by the amount they rant about hipsters.

can't keep up with social change
BWAAA HAA HAA HAAA HAA HA HAHA HAHA HA HA!!
I'll tell you who can't keep up with social change. You Hipsters, that's who!
See, once your trust funds run out, you will find out just how useful those Liberal Arts degrees really are.
When your landlord kicks you out (after raising the rent from $2,000 to $6,000 for the next wave of hipsters) you will then have the opportunity to experience social change first hand.
If Mummy and Daddy don't take you back in, you can always hit the road like Kerouac and experience the adventure of traveling around America, going from place to place looking for work. Megan will discover the joys of turning tricks at Iowa truck stops (because, like, Oh My God! Wall Street guys don't find hundreds of hideous ironic tattoos sexy) while Josh will have to shave off his beard, button up his shirt all the way to hide his tattoos, and compete with 15 year old kids for jobs at Mickey D's.
But fear not. You will still have Pabst Blue Ribbon as a friend. It only costs $2 for a 6 pack in Key Food. The ironic bars where Megan turns her tricks will have both kinds of music: Country and Western. Maybe you can impress them with a third kind.
And every town in America has cardboard boxes you can sleep in. Who knows? Maybe you will make it big in Hollywood yet? Maybe when you are getting the shit kicked out of you by some bum in buttfuck MO, somebody else will videotape it for some future version of Bumfights. How's that for Irony.
So, embrace the possibilities as you set out on your big adventure.
Remember, you can rate the amount of insecurity you have by how much money you need to buy food or whether some bum wants your space to pitch his cardboard box.
Life is full of Irony

Here is something I always say to people who make fun of indie music, thai food, and culture invented by hip people such as myself:
I will remake, empower, and improve you. I am the epitome of irony. I am your salvation.
Remember, anyone between the ages 20-35 has invented everything you see around you.

5. body piercings/tatoos
6. anything that can't be seen without looking at a computer (blogs, myspace etc)

Mc Carren Park should be a park for children under eighteen and their parents. These douches are using space for kickball and wiffle ball that could be used for children.
Reply to this
The park is open to the public and wasn't intended only for kids and their parents to use. There's also a 1/4 mile track for running, a soccer/football field, tennis courts, two playgrounds with swing sets and gymnastics apparatus in other areas, in addition to the baseball field where kickball is played. You simply don't know what you're talking about.

FUCK THE CHILDREN
Reply to this
What children? Most of the current residents of that area are hipsters or yuppies. The hipster parents want it the way it is, and the yuppie parents don't want their kids fucking up their french lessons by talking to anyone below upper middle class.
And there's about 4 other playgrounds (including the children only one IN McCarren park) within a few blocks. The kids have plenty, how about adults having some public space?

These hipster retards play stupid sports like whiffle ball because they are really unathletic.

I just want everyone to know--These jackoffs are not from Boston!
It's like they used our city as their little fucknut Minor League before making the bigs. Wiffleball in Brooklyn.
Haha, sorry we couldn't find a way to disappear them for you.

You don't know what you are talking about. We are from the deepest part of your insecure soul, and we trashed your city with curveballs that make your father cry and knuckleballs that make your girlfriend drip. You will never get rid of us. When we move on, you will find someone else to take our place. LAWB/BKWB FOR LIFE MOTHERFUCKERS.

A) I was born and raised in Boston. Not the suburbs, and not some small hick town that I abandoned before deciding that Boston was my "home". I'm too blue collar and apathetic to be a hipster of any kind, but yet I play wiffle in Allston. Imagine that.
C) This whole thing is kind of ironic, seeing as how blogs are the bible of the modern hipster. "Hey, let's share my opinions, whinings, and details of my life in hopes that maybe a few people will read it and I can feel justified in the pretentiousness that made me think anyone cared in the first place!" Yeah. It's kind of like that.
But on a brighter note, if you ever need a lesson in binge drinking, common sense, building a bar in the middle of the woods, music, or making cookies, you know where to find us.

The problem isn't people playing wiffleball or kickball, wearing trucker hats or ironic clothes or drinking in Starfucks. The problem is that these beyotches have priced older residents (including artists) out of their neighborhoods because the rents are now $4000/mo instead of $800/mo. That's the problem. And they bring nothing good to the hood except .... wiffleball and the other crap.
That's what people are pissed off about.
Reply to this
And those older residents priced the people before them out of the neighborhood. It's called gentrification and don't act like it started with some kid wearing a bandanna around his neck. And speaking as someone who lives in Williamsburg, there are a lot of good things that are being brought to the neighborhood. How about you stop complaining and start being productive.

Anon,
I find nothing wrong with neighborhoods being taken over by other nationalities and "real" cultures from other countries, it's been happening for 300 years in NYC. But when a bunch of 20-40 year old wanna-be artists, musicians, etc come for a 3 year vacation, raise rents drastically, entice developers and practice their Midwestern habits and lifestyles here I have a problem with it. There is a huge difference. Start understanding. If you truly love art and music you would try to create it where you were born and raised. If you are actually born and raised in Williamsburg, I can't see how youre happy with all of this.
Reply to this
If you truly love music you would try to create it where you were born and raised? That makes no sense. People move from place to place as they grow and learn. People who don't are stuck. If you feel so threatened by these "wanna-be artists and musicians" become involved in your community instead of crying about it on the internet. Grow up.
Reply to this
Dear Annon,
YOU do not make up the community. One existed before you transplanted....Apartheid fucker
Love, Taf

Grow up? As in start dressing and acting more and more like a teenager as I get older? Ok, you talked me into it. "People who don't are stuck"? So you mean Ohio and Oregon are bad places to live? It's not possible to accomplish things over there? You mean you have to come to Brooklyn and prance around as a fake whatever and then leave when the going gets tough? Yeah that sure sounds like "growing and learning" to me. You fucking dick!

Good things!
Douchebags and bedbugs that's all.
Time to crack your fucking skulls!

The ignorant anti-hipster ranters on here would like to have you believe that their hated of hipsters is based on the perception that hipsters are responsible for gentrification and rent increases. The idea that hipsters are solely responsible for gentrification is already highly debatable. Intelligent discourse would tell you that the root causes of gentrification are multi-factorial, and include greedy developers and landlords, our capitalistic economic system, as well as whoever might moving into a gentrifying neighborhood to feed into the system...hipster or not. In fact, gentrification also takes place in neighborhoods that don't have a high hipster populations at all. An example of this would be the expansion of Columbia University into "Manhattanville" in West Harlem (http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/property/2006/05/columbias_manha.html). Clearly there is more to gentrification than just hipsters alone. Anti-hipster sentiment based on gentrification is not only misplaced and misguided, but is really a manifestation of deeper psychological issues.
Anti-hipster sentiment of the type we see on here is really based on a resentment of people who have healthier and more fulfilling social lives. Judging from their comments, a lot of anti-hipster sentiment evidently comes from "tough guy" non-intellectual homophobic macho types who feel that the more sensitive, intelligent, physically slimmer, and culturally aware hipster ideal threatens their insecure sense of masculinity. At some point in their lives they probably got mocked and ridiculed, or even had beer poured all over their heads, by some downtown girl with a tattoo (aka "hipster") after trying to pull some lame move on them. If you think about it, in some ways the entire hipster revolution came about to mock and ridicule such people and their mentalities. It's not about meat and muscle anymore. Anti-hipster sentiment often comes from people who simply can't keep up with social change and are envious of those who can. Remember...you can always rate the amount of insecurity someone has by the amount they rant about hipsters.
