Homeless, Hacker or Hipster?


Last week Mr. M. and I were in La Jolla (where the wealthy, the great white shark and Ryan sans cupcake live). While we were waiting at a stoplight a scraggly man with a cup of coffee crossed the street in front of us. We pondered whether he was currently without home or perhaps just a scruffy engineer type. It was then that Harry came up with the game, homeless, hacker or hipster. While I know it is wrong to make light of the homeless*, I am going to hell anyway – so here’s how to play: the person in each photo is either homeless**, a hacker or a hipster. Let me know in the comments what they are and Harry and I will make a donation in the winner’s name to Father Joe’s villages.

*hipsters deserve to be made fun of.
**Here’s a bunch of famous people were once homeless.

1.)  a. homeless b. hacker c. hipster

2.)  a. homeless b. hacker c. hipster

3.)  a. homeless b. hacker c. hipster

4.)  a. homeless b. hacker c. hipster

5.)  a. homeless b. hacker c. hipster

6.)  a. homeless b. hacker c. hipster

7.)  a. homeless b. hacker c. hipster

8.)  a. homeless b. hacker c. hipster

9.)  a. homeless b. hacker c. hipster

10.) a. homeless b. hacker c. hipster

11.) a. homeless b. hacker c. hipster

12.) a. homeless b. hacker c. hipster

13.) a. homeless b. hacker c. hipster

14.) a. homeless b. hacker c. hipster

15.) a. homeless b. hacker c. hipster

I will give the answers and announce the winner tomorrow in this post’s comments section.

    (I actually suspect #12, 13 and 15 are all three simultaneously. For suitable definitions of “hipster”.)
