“You’ve just committed one of the classic blunders. The most well-known is, ‘Never start a land war in Asia.’ But only slightly less well-known is, ‘Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!’”
But, OldHipster probably has confused “hipster” with “hippie.”
Hipsters were folks who were stylish and hip in the 1950s. But, the word “hipster” was used up to 15 years before that. A “hippie” of the 1960s was sort of the antithesis of “hipster.”
Havoc is just telling it like it is. He doesn’t want what he said to be repeated elsewhere.
If Jeff Redfern were to whack Havoc, he might actually do it by bumbling as usual and wreak havoc instead without being ordered to do so. Jeff is accident prone.
And let’s not forget the Old Hipster’s (sorry, I mean Frank Zappa’s) four kids, Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. It TAKES a different kind of mind to name your children this way.
Yeah? What about Apple, Bronx, Brooklyn, Sunday, and the other idiotic names that today’s so-called “celebrities” burden their kids with?
It’s no wonder Chastity Bono changed her/his name!

I think Jeff is more likely to get terminated with extreme prejudice if he tries anything that stupid.

When you don’t want to win a war, just declare it unwinnable. Who woulda guessed Gary Trudeau would agree with George Will?

He DOESN”T. He is merely recounting what our CIA guys have been saying since the mid 1990’s, what the KGB has been saying long before that.

OldHipster’s avatar is Frank Zappa.

In college (circa 1972) my music professor said if Beethoven were alive today he would be Frank Zappa.
Such was his admiration for Zappa’s musical mind.

Joe Allen, you old cork knocker!!!
I TRIED to use old HIPPIE but it was taken
Yes, I tried several variations and Hipster was available.
In fact, I was a Undercover Hippie, back in the time when Frank was alive, and yes, I know who Don Van Vliet was, too
So, with that in mind, MISTER Know-it-the-hell-all…….
F$#@! you and the horse you rode in on!!!
