So I was just stalking on Facebook, and I came across some pictures of a group of guys and one of the guys was wearing a series of really really ugly ball caps. And my stomach lurched...for several reasons I think.
First of all, my ex wears super ugly ball caps. It was one of my biggest beefs with him. Seriously...I couldn't take him out anywhere because of these stupid caps that he used to wear. My dad...my dad is another one who insists on the hideous ball cap (Thankfully this has been tempered by my mother's influence, and he's only allowed to wear the truly ugly ones when he is working by himself on the boat). And this guy...in the facebook pictures...is another one. It's pervasive.
Seriously...why do they do this? I just don't understand. Do they honestly put the ball cap on, and look in the mirror and honestly honestly say to themselves, "damn, I look good." And then my personal favorite is when they are in dire need of a hair cut too, and so it sort of poufs out from below the band of the cap. That's a nice look.
And then the colours: orange, green, mustard yellow, multicolored, paint-stained. My ex has a dirty white cap with cherry red detailing and mesh back. Seriously what's with the mesh back. That part should be wholly discarded.
I just don't get it. I'm not averse to the baseball cap itself. I have several...I just don't understand why the ugly ones are favored and worn like a dirty, smelly, ugly, paintstained badge of pride and honor.
Anyways, I think I've beat this one to death.

Straight men are a mystery.
I am issued a hat at work, but I don't even wear that. As for the ball cap thing, I don't really get it myself and I am a straight guy. Especially don't get the dingy nasty ones. Meh to each their own.
Ah...see...and I think that the Mr. Policeman hats are totally hot. Seriously...I am a total sucker for a man in uniform. I go for that hero factor.
