Keeping Up With the #

#hashtag backache #hashtag new job #hashtag laundry. #hashtag snow #hashtag winter.

I think I am finally getting the hang of this hashtag thing. (Secretly I think that it, along with Twitter, is an indication of the snowballing mental slide of Man into the primordial ooze that will suck him back into Mother Earth, allowing the forests to return and the air to clarify.) You just put # in front of whatever you say and you are instantly cool and with it, allowing others of your generation to trust you, like having long hair and wearing pea jackets back in the Woodstock days. Although you have to not say things like "cool" and "with it," and never mention Woodstock. But what if you put # in front of those things--would they become the new cool things to say? Try it:
#hashtag feeling groovy
#hashtag right on
#hashtag later, alligator
#hashtag don't Bogart that joint
#hashtag get down
#hashtag far out
#hashtag peace, man

As you can see I still don't know if you need the # with the word "hashtag" or just the #, which I guess makes me a #hashtag dork with a flip phone.
