As for the hats? I've gotten used to the ballcap on backwards. I still think it looks kinda stupid but even sideways (dumb though it is) isn't QUITE as stupid as the bill of the cap just an inch or so off the front of your head. That looks like you're not sure where your nose is or you're just stupid. But the true "fave" with me is the ball cap with the brim PERFECTLY flat (and with the size sticker still on it !). In my day that screamed, "Beat me up, take my lunch money I'm a dweeb".

Sorry for the slight hijack but while on the subject of hats... Dan, you and I are about the same age. Would your Father have worn a hat, any hat inside a building, or even thought for a minute that any man of that generation worn a hat during dinner?

The answer is no, and why in the hell is is now ok for these kids (and some are not so young) to put on a ballcap when they wake up (hope they do not sleep in it) and wear it every waking minute of the day, no matter what they are doing?

Sorry but I grew up in an age when a man took his hat off when he went inside a building, and was nice enough to do the same at dinner or when sitting with someone.
