Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hipster hat wearing just looks so douchey to me.

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.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

One of my friends invented the term "porkflopper" for all the dudes who are walking around Brooklyn wearing porkpie hats, shorts, and flip-flops.

Because books.

I love men in hats, and White Collar's Neal is an excellent example. But it also doesn't bother me much if men keep hats on -- it seems a little like one of those "don't wear white after Labor Day" rules that doesn't mean much anymore. To me, anyway.

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

Hipster hat wearing just looks so douchey to me.

Doesn't hipster-doing-just-about-everything look douchey to you?

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

Doesn't hipster-doing-just-about-everything look douchey to you?

I guess I'm saying it's a douche-signifier. Putting on one of those hats is like popping the collar and announcing to the world, "I am an enormous douchebag with attached douchenozzle! You may also call me a porkflopper! Scorn me now!"

No Hats Indoors was a rule in elementary school, so in the abstract, it seems like it needs to be followed. In practice, I don't really notice if it's broken. But I think it's reasonable for it to be built into a dresscode, and dresscodes should be complied with.
