For our second Throwback Thursday let Jimmy tell you 6 reasons why is grandpa – JC – is a hipster.
My grandfather is a downright hipster. All the more so as he hasn’t got a clue he is. To be honest, he probably couldn’t care less anyway.
Let me explain how come :
– JC spends most of his time reading comics. Not any comics though: mainly The Adventures of Tintin by famous Belgian cartoonist Hergé. As if it weren’t enough, he reads them in German because the original version is too little a challenge.
– JC owns a forest. It is a common belief that pensioners enjoy nothing like having their own peaceful place in the sunshine and, cherry on top, at the seaside. What JC fancies is showing up in his forest – that he bought for a song back in the day – with his friends and chop down some wood.
– JC has an electric car. Actually, it’s been almost a decade since he began driving his Prius around town every now and then. He’s now getting ready to take it to the next level once the first hydrogen-powered car comes out.
– JC has the coolest collection of sports caps and shirts. Champion, Sergio Tachini, Ellesse, Fila… in short all these brands that wannabe kids are wearing anew. JC has never stopped wearing them.
– JC mixes his wine with water. Because he can.
– JC doesn’t have a mustache, or a beard, or hair at all.
By the way…
JC is not Jesus Christ. JC is Jean-Claude. High five Grandpa.
