But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Say it with me now, Scola - SCREW EVERYONE ELSE!!!

msbelle's ready for her new career in psychotherapy. I'm sort of seeing the commercial with drill instructor Lee Ermey beaning his patient with a tissue box.

She may be the nicest but she don't cotton to bellyachers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If a guy's eyes are obscured because I'm looking down on the brim of his hat, I'm not going to hold his relative height against him. Statistically speaking that wasn't supposed to happen. It's not his fault.

I'm trying to think about how Neal in White Collar handles his hat. Apart from suavely, I don't rightly recall.

Hipster hat wearing just looks so douchey to me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I always thought the on/off distinction with women's and men's hats came down to men's hats being outerwear and women's hats (sometimes) being part of the outfit. If a woman's hat matched her coat, she'd take it off.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

She may be the nicest but she don't cotton to bellyachers.

and I feel like 90% of what I do here is bellyache.

I really just want Scola to yell. He knows. It's a long-term goal of mine. Some day, some day, I will annoy him enough where he will shout at me. And then my friends, we will celebrate.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hipsters are shocked to hear you're supposed to take off your hat when indoors.

Here's a conundrum: you are a hipster (or, perhaps, a dandy, or just a fan of hats) wearing a hat to a restaurant where you will dine outdoor (patio, etc.)

Do you remove your hat since you're dining (as etiquette dictates), or leave it on because you're outdoors?

What do you do, hipster? WHAT DO YOU DO???

(My opinion? Take it off.)

Because it is. Every time I see a hipster wearing one of those fucking straw hats, I want to make him eat it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What do you do, hipster? WHAT DO YOU DO???

Get a shot of some strong booze, pour it on your hat and set it on fire.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ooh, marketng possibility! Portable hat hooks for hipsters - they harmlessly attach to bars and tables, holding your hat safely but politely, and then fold up and pop back in your pocket when you're ready to leave.
