Tying Up the Trends
We here at HypePipe love trends. Mostly we love following the dead and dying trends. That said, here are three little piglets we've chased around, wrestled and tied up just for you.
1) 
Cats
Cats are the perfect pets for busy people or alcoholics. They can stay for hours by themselves without peeing on your roommate's area rug. And they clean themselves. I predict exponential growth in cat portraits in Myspace pages in the coming months. So very jellicle! Cats: DOING WELL
2) Knitting
I can't do anything that Gwyneth does, so it's no wonder I never learned to knit. Since the recent average highs have reached into the upper seventies, it's just too damn hot! And if Al Gore is right, it's only getting hotter. Unless you can knit some cold drinks, put them needles away. Knitting: DECEASING
3) Smoking
Last night's foray to the FlatIron indicated that smoking is not going anywhere anytime soon. We here at HypePipe go out and always end up at church smelling like smoke. (By church, I mean Biscuitville.) Several NC municipalities have joined New York by instituting smoking bans. Smoking: UNCERTAIN
Tell us what you think: Would a smoking ban hurt or help nightlife in the Triad?
