Hipster Trifecta: You Can Feel It (It's Electric!)



For those of you who live/work in/near urban enclaves and enjoy silently mocking everybody you encounter on your daily sojourn, I offer up a fun game I like to call Hipster Trifecta.  In this game, you seek out hipsters with beards, flannel and visible tattoos.  These are the three tenets of the incredibly specific uniforms worn by our fine youth who like to think they are expressing their individuality by dressing like everybody else.  It makes for fun viewing.  You can tally them on your commute, mall trip, night out, etc. When you find one, you can throw him away. It makes the world a better place.

A similar game started when I went to Aspen to visit a friend and learned to snowboard in 2002.  I was amazed at the number of dudes who rocked one-piece ski suits and fanny packs on slopes.  I spent the whole week looking for my own trifecta (one-piece, fanny pack, mustache).  I finally spied one my last day and took a picture of him. Not sure if he was psyched about that.  An obnoxiously wealthy co-worker of mine at the time told me that he didn't understand the mockery of the one-piece because his dad wore one that was custom-made for him.  Made me feel even better about indirectly making fun of his dad. 

If you really want to do some elephant hunting, you can further refine your search to the Quadfecta (note to readers: we are still working on that name), which counts hipsters with beards, flannel, visible tattoos and big round-rimmed glasses.  If you do find one of these rare creatures, please take a picture and email it to our web site (support@gheorghetheblogtheemailaddress.net). We will post it.  Do not fear the reaction of the creature you photograph.  They are timid and feeble by nature and will do you no harm. 

Happy Friday folks.  More fotos de testiculos next week.
