More in the "a generation of self-consumed male hipsters have suddenly discovered parenthood, and we'll be forced to listen to them for years on end" department: did you know that author Steve Almond, formerly content merely to sit back and vindictively sling mud at bloggers, now has a pro blog of his very own? It's on new Nerve spinoff site Babble, and it's exactly as self-conscious and caught up in the tired 'bragging about how cool I used to be and now I'm not, but it's ok because parenthood is a Higher Calling than coolness' thing as you'd expect it to be. Witness this scintillating tidbit: "So I guess that's what we're doing: we're enjoying this time. Not doing much work. Not going out at all. Just sitting around worshipping our kid. It rules."
Pray that Chuck Klosterman's shooting blanks. It's our only hope.

I hope his baby girl has her tubes tied right after opening a skate shop.
Wow - that is some seriously lame and boring navel-gazing shit. Nothing worse than an aging hipster ...
I'd rob a sperm bank right now if I was sure the dye-packet would explode.
Yay, thanks to the internets new parents can inflict their stereotypical enthusiasm for their spawn on anyone and everyone. Hey, folks, your attachment to your kid is genetic and shared by almost EVERYONE who has a baby. If not for that, you'd chuck your screaming poop machine out the window. So unless you actually microwave your child you aren't saying anything that is any different from some yutz in the office with a pile of snapshots from 30 years ago. So basically, just shut up.
That picture should be framed and placed on Mallory Keaton's nightstand.
Can you wipe your baby's ass with a website for new parents?
It's almost as if the collar has been purposefully stretched to expose maximum chest hair.
Gross.
Klosterman + Parenthood = Nick Hornby = reason enough for CK's mandatory sterilization
Though y'all realize that this kind of talk will lead to the replacement of The War Against Christmas with The War Against Children.
This is the guy who wrote an entire book about how much he likes candy. Of course, it's a lot more fun to read about Sugar Daddies than hipster daddies.
This turd was my creative writing teacher for a semester in undergrad. He pleaded with me to drop the course when I arrive late to class ONCE! I may also bee interesting to note that during that time he carried around a briefcase decorated with stick figure portraits and macaroni glued on it. He's an ass.
KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL.
Oh, sorry. Can we arrange for Chuck Klosterman, Steve Almond, Neal Pollack, and a bunch of other guys like that to take a chartered plane from Clear Lake to Fargo in the dead of winter?
AYO, EMOSOGYNY by Molly Lambert So we just now saw the 2007 edition of Forbes’s (really silly) yearly list of the Best Cities For Singles.
