Bored to Death Hipster Quotient: 'Want to Get Stoned Before the Massage?'

OVERALL: "I don't procrastinate! I just like to do things later," proclaimed George in last night's episode of Bored to Death, a clever homage to Some Like It Hot and, per usual, marijuana and The New Yorker. It was the perfect retort for the hyper-thinky series and injected enough hipster logic to replace the usual presence of graphic t-shirts, corn cob pipes and double bicycles common to HBO's literary series.
