Just don't be offended when I think you are shallow and suggest you take the stick out of your a$$.

100% agree with you!

Tom - would that be a CC stick or a NC stick?

Thank you, Tom.

No offense, Dave.

No offense to anyone, but my biggest problem with baseball caps is the straight bill. I just can't stand it. How anyone can wear the bill of their cap completely straight is beyond me, but to each their own. I have to have my bill bent in a U-shape.

Gurkha. It's how they get their special flavors.

Credibility? Sort of. I let anyone get the first 10 words out of their mouth before I think they are really stupid or not credible just because of a hat.

But to be honest I agree with George Carlin:

Not going to happen. You are white, and you are lame. It's a law of nature. Turning your hat around and learning a complicated handshake will not make you cool.

And you black guys, since you started the whole thing, I'm going to let you stay with the hats a little bit longer, but I think really, once you qualify for Social Security, it's time to spin that around to the front

Sorry Tom and everyone else I'll still smoke a cigar with you any time.

I frequently wear hats, and am pretty old school about them. Remove your hat when you walk indoors, no hats indoors. Remove your hat during the National Anthem, or when the flag passes you at a parade. No backwards hats.

I'm with you on all of that, except the backwards part.

We can agree to disagree.

Darrell,sometimes it isn't even worth a reply... sigh. (to clarify,I meant for me to reply)

I don't look at it as if the guy has his hat on backwards - I just figure the bozo's head's on backwards, so it ain't no thing. As for doing business with him, I'm as likely to do so as I would with any other person who obviously does not have their head on straight.

croatan · 04-27-2010, 03:06 PM

In a work setting: a backwards ball cap (or any ball cap for that matter) probably shouldn't get past the receptionist. Any other time when wearing a hat is appropriate, it doesn't matter to me (well, I guess it might look silly at the golf course). I only wear them to keep the sun off, so the backwards thing doesn't really work for me personally--I think it makes my head look even funnier.

I wear a hat at work and get past the receptionist every time.

Of course it could be the badge on my belt. Nahhh.

I got spare junior officer badges from bring your son/daughter to work day. One will be on its way as fast as someone sells you out and pm's me your address.

I'm old enough now, I've earned the right to keep a stick up my a$$, thank you.

Absolutely, Thomas...and I have earned the right to wear my cap however I please.

Absolutely.

All this makes me recall a thought I've had before. Someday soon, some doctor's gonna prep for Granny's gallbladder operation, pull up her gown, see some odd-looking bruise and stretch out her 83-year-old skin to get a better look, then wonder what a tattoo saying "Whitesnake Rules" means.

Now that's funny...and probably 100% accurate.

Now there's a mental picture I didn't need.
