He wore full hipster regalia including beard and eyeglasses, as well as shorts with socks.   He was trying to pick up chicks with his cute dog.<\/p>\n<p>And failing.  <\/p>\n<p>Lady:  What a CUTE DOG!  (squats to cuddle the slobbering hellbeast)<br \/>\nMan:  Thanks!  He has really bad gas though.  It is eggs and hot dogs.  Gives him gas.  Hard boiled especially.

This guy lives with his mom, with whom he has a relationship full of bizarre tensions.  He deals with this situation in a disturbingly passive aggressive manner.<br \/>\n2.
