Gangster hats

My head gets cold.

Once you pass 40, the baseball caps start to look a little goofy unless you're golfing or something.

Is there any validity to the rumor/possibility that gangster/mobster hats are coming back as fashion accessories? I think I'd look good in a brim.

Maybe you prefer it in a houndstooth pattern?

Negative. Not the little skinny brim like the gay guy on White Collar wears. A wider brim. And no fucking houndstooth.

Black or grey.

Don't want to look gay, but I think this might catch on. Don't want to spend $100 or more on a decent hat, though, if I'm the only jackass wearing one.

Sorry about the little racial thing in there, delete it if you have to.

For someone who prides himself on being above the masses and smarter than the average bear, you sure do seem concerned about the fallout of you wearing a...gasp...hat in public.

You don't want to stand out like Obama in Cullman no matter how much smarter than the masses you are.

Could you please tell me the number of racist remarks I have made on this board? That's right, its a big fucking zero. Not all people from Cullman are racist. Winston County, and Arab are far worse than Cullman.

Actually I took it to mean that there were not a lot of black folk in Cullman. That is not racist. That is just a fact of the demographic.

Don't hate on Arab. Home of the poke salad festival.

Cullman has a distinct racist history, as evidenced by the "Don't let the sun set on your black ass in Cullman" signs that exist in lore whether they existed in real life or not. Whether such a sign was ever actually posted, Cullman still became part of a group of similar towns known as "Sundown Towns." (Google "don't let the sun set on your black ass in Cullman" or "sundown town Cullman" for scads of info)

It's also still lilly white.

Cullman, Ala., is a town about 50 miles from Birmingham, and a bedroom community for many people who make the long commute to Birmingham. In the presidential primary this year, Barack Obama got 56 percent of the vote statewide and 72 percent of the vote in Jefferson County, which includes Birmingham, but only 18 percent in Cullman County. http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/states/AL.html

As of the 2000 Census, the racial makeup of the Cullman, Ala., was 96.43% White, 0.36% Black or African American, 0.24% Native American, 0.45% Asian, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 1.06% from other races, and 1.41% from two or more races. 4.85% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.)

Damn dude...having another bad week?

I think there's a lot of pent up anger that needs to be released via picture posting in the Concourse.
