More Gangsta Than Hipster

The Blogosphere is ripe with the new meme related to Mpls. St. Paul Magazine's hipster quiz. I thought it would be fun to run the quiz by our old friend and reader Leon, to see how much of a hipster he is. Here are the results:

I dropped by the Midway KFC for takeout when I was up there last year and I'm pretty sure I saw Leon hanging around my minivan. Does he speak Spanish, or does he just blissfully ignore the KFC employees?

Leon My Homeboy- I'm a curious MWM looking for a good story to tell. Your profile seems to fit right into my template. Perhaps we can meet for a cup of coffee at KFC (although truth be told I prefer White Castle) or take a bus ride together sometime. I think you'll find we have a lot in common. My interests include porn, beating people with sticks, abandoning my children to chase younger women, and defecating in Mitchell Berg's lawn.
