Young Joe Nutty

It all started in the 1980s. We were skateboarders and therefore outsiders, skating from one subculture to the next, taking little bits of each. We got along with everybody but always ended up with each other due to our choice of mobility device.

The Bay

Hitting skate spots was serendipitous. We skated everywhere, so everywhere was a spot. The skateparks had been litigated out of business by this time and all we had was the street and hills. We often crossed into sketchy territory, climbing fences or trespassing, or just going into some other zone that wasn’t ours. You knew from the graffiti on the walls who owned what. Sometimes though, things just got a little absurd. It was near the 7-11 by Hilltop Mall that I read the spray painted tag of “Young Joe Nutty”, from the “1.5 Mob”, and below that the brand that would send us into hysterics for years to come. This was a code to the street, language flipped around: nipmip.

It became our mantra after a while, an inside joke that meant nothing except a cue to make you laugh or call out someone for fake pimpin. Every boy trying to be cool was claiming to be pimpin back then, trying to walk with a limp, nobody even knew what it meant when they started talking about it. Nobody knew it meant selling your heart and soul for money in the guise of sex. All those middle school pimps now have regular old jobs now, at the grocery store, or installing cable. They are too bald to rock curls, and have a tummy. They are the old dude at the club with a big belt buckle doing the wop or some other outdated moves.

Nipmip is reversing the game. Stay woke, is what the youth say. The more you know, the better off you are. All that me, Doug, and Young Joe Nutty want to do is to cherry pick the internet and put the best parts here to be lost to the depths of the internet and time, but bookmarked by you just in case. just remember the word nipmip and it will bring you back here.

Hey Doug, if you are out there give a holler to me and Young Joe.

Why?

Look, I had to learn how to use this thing called jekyll, and another thing called markdown, which led me down a huge rabbit hole, but on the upside nipmip is now a movement that is unstoppable by anyone ever. What goes up on nipmip will never come down. I wrote a script to share 10000 mixtapes but it turned out to be a very bad idea in that github pages doesn’t really feel like rendering 10000 jekyll pages.

Infrastructure

Look son, we use Cloudflare so don’t even try to ddos us. This is a static site hosted on github pages in a private repository so don’t try to fork me. There are no databases to hack, we don’t require you to log in or track your use for any nefarious purpose. If you want to leave a facebook comment, thats up to you. Nobody is forcing you to do anything. I’m just trying to have fun, learn something new, and get paid. You can run your own nipmip of you want to, using jekyll and the minimal mistakes theme, which is brilliant and written by a cool dude named Michael Rose. He might even have google alerts set up stop by to poke around. Thanks for the traffic!
