Game for Shorty

[Jiro]

It's called "Spot the Hipster". When you are out and about, spot hipsters and decide if they're a good or bad kind of hipster; there is a difference. I'll grant that spotting a bad hipster is far easier. Bonus points for spotting a hipster chick, who seem to be much harder to locate unless they are wearing gigantic glasses.

Do you entertain yourself with any games when out and about? People watching for anything in particular? Just discuss what it's like when you go outside those few times a month.

[Agent Proto]

While I go out driving, I sometimes count the number of times I spot certain things. Like pedestrians, or a vehicles of a certain color, or whatnot. Makes driving around entertaining, but I still need to pay attention to the road. :P

[Psychotic]

You can only really do this when going to London. If you dress like a hipster in most other places then the chavs will probably say "you fookin startin you fookin poof, you avin a giggle mate?" repeatedly until you walk off. Incidentally, spot the chav is always a fun pastime. A wee bit 2005 now but I guess it's a classic now, like Monopoly.

[Shorty]

There are no hipsters in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, so I don't get to play this game.

[Quindiana Jones]

It's in Idaho and it's called Coeur d'Alene. That right there is a hipster town.

She even gets snooty about the pronunciation.

[Jiro]

Shorty, surely you own a mirror. Look in it; congratulations, you've found a hipster!

As you can verify from your people-watching from your hotel room, you can dress pretty weirdly in Edinburgh and nobody will confront you over it.

I love people watching. I don't tend to make a game of it, although Danielle and I are happy to rate the physical appearance of random people we pass by on occasion. Haven't done that in a while, mind you. But people watching is great when you're on the top of a double decker bus and you can randomly watch all the goings-on below, particularly on Princes Street which is always busy.

How do you make the same topic of discussion everyone has been talking about sound so much more creepy?

[Loony BoB]

I'm genuinely unaware that people find that creepy, because I've done it with so many people - including various EoFFers - that I thought it was normal.

[Jiro]

No, it's just how you make it sound.

[Loony BoB]

So basically you guys just think I'm creepy no matter what I say. Hmm...

Love your hair, Phil. Keep it that way. I like it.

Dear god...

well, as an ignorant American, I was under the impression that all Scottish people wear kilts all the time. is this true please confirm y/n

sometimes when I'm driving and know how far my exit is, I'll calculate how long it will take me to reach it and thus what time I'll reach it based on my current rate of travel and current location. and I'll recalculate whenever I feel like it and compare.

I play a time game a lot too, but it's more like, "How much time can I kill at work by doing x, and how fast/slow do I have to do it so that I'm actually doing something, but not working so fast that I run out of things to do too quickly."
