My favorite Web site of the day is Dads, the original hipsters. This smart, cheeky site shows you that any hipster trend you're following now, your dad did it first. A few prime examples:

Your dad wore short shorts before you did and he has the upper thigh tan lines to prove it. It takes a certain kind of man to pull off wearing what most would consider lady attire, but your dad was that man.

Your dad had big headphones before you did. Right now hipsters, you're probably reading this post with over sized headphones on, listening to a band you discovered on Pitchfork...

Ok, I'm not going to steal any more of this chortle-worthy thunder. Go have a read and prepare to be blown away by how hip your dad was.
