Hipster or Old Man?: A Game Show For People

Dec 08, 2006 09:03

Ever spot some square-framed glasses and baggy jeans from a distance and discover all too late that this was not a cute little indie hipster boy, but an old man, ready to cram his paranoid fantasies down your delicate little neck? Ever think, "If I had a euro for every time I crossed the road to avoid a potential old man with a not-very-sober face ( Read more... )

This is brilliant. Can also apply to old ladies, too.

Yes, it could, it's true.

The game would have been more effective before those really tight, skinny jeans came into fashion for everyone, but there're still enough baggy pants around.

There could, in fact, be a spinoff game with boys in skinny jeans, given that there will be *no* next generation of hipster boys if this scrotum-throttling fashion nightmare keeps up. This game can be called Day of Reckoning: Indie Boy Sperm Enumerators, where indie boys in skinny girl jeans get a euro for every live sperm they have left. Shouldn't cost more than about a fiver to make. Ouch!

How are you? When are you going to visit? I will be over in the Spring to play with more maps.

I was thinking more of the Ugly Skirt: Are You Wearing That Ironically? side of things, which I admit I have been known to engage in, despite being far from hip.

I'm good! Well, today I'm exhausted and I forgot my glasses, but other than that, good. Dropping to part-time in my PhD, which is GENIUS. Seeing a Nice Boy. Vaguely thinking of coming to Dublin in January/February. And yay, come and visit!

I'm not hip either, but I imagine that my long camel coat and collection of vintage hats make me a prime candidate as well. Ditto the glasses.

YAY, nice boy? Hmmm...Me too, actually, but must discuss in non-public arena! Such as YOU coming HERE in the WINTERTIME YAY.

OOOOOOOOOH how exciting! An expansion on my Nice Boy situation is here. But yes, talking! In actual Mouth Words! January! Hurrah!

WOW. I just left a huge long comment for you, full of applause and glee, and some news of my own, having taken to only making public posts myself, and thus not talking about Certain Developments on them. But I had to do a little dance for both of us.

I can't WAIT to see you. YAY! You are more than welcome to stay with me again, by the way.
