Acceptable if you are actively playing a pickup basketball game.

THis of course coming from a guy who, if you see him wearing a hat in public he is either a)golfing (and not always) b) at a baseball game or c) hiding his unshowered mane from the masses. But never backwards.

Everything above is correct and fair and something that you should all know very much upsets me. Since around ~17, perhaps when my face grew to its adult size and shape, I've looked super weird with a hat forward. If you knew me, you'd just say "you look dumb" but if you didn't and I had my hair shorter on the sides, you might wonder if I was sick. I do everything I can to stretch the winter months but in my unshowered state (including 9:00 at night, this might be another door we're opening), my option is "be self-conscious about how weird you look with a hat forwards" or "be self-conscious about approaching 40 and wearing a backwards hat in public".

I will now address any questions or absorb any ridicule from the group.

That too. I didn't recognize him, some other dude saw me checking out the mini-scene (there were a half dozen people around him at one point) and asked if I knew who it was. In hindsight, I was very upset I didn't respond with "yeah, that's Sir Mix-A-Lot" rather than "nope".

That's remarkably similar to the aforementioned bachelor party pic, right down to the color scheme...

Yeah, now we need to know if Mr.D is a guy who wears his hat backwards in public.
Yes. At least when I've seen him in public. It was a Yankees hat of course.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

My Nephew's 12-year old team made it to the Cal Ripken World series in Missouri this weekend. They had a send off last night and one of the speakers was New York Jet All-Time Great Chad Pennington.

He actually gave a heck of a motivational speech.

Sharing a wall right now with Mark McGwire. Per my Jeeves thread, I am in Milwaukee and staying at the hotel where the Padres are tonight. Took the elevator with a gaggle of Padres, McGwire, and Wags. McGwire was wearing Beats headphones and did not really make eye contact. I am sure he thought I was stalking him until I opened my door (which is in a small alcove that we both walked into).

Padres' Wags....expected more.

A guy I went to High School was just inducted into the New Mexico High School Coaches Hall Of Fame (his wife, who I also went to High School with, posted the video to Facebook). I had no idea he's won 4 state titles with Eldorado High.

She looked like that, but the outfit was more yellow and peach. She throws on a crop top hoodie and mirrored sunglasses (indoors) when it's time to go.

Apparently I went to HS with the shooter at the Tallahassee yoga studio. Name doesn't sound familiar, but my mother told me about it. Looks like he was a Sophomore my Senior year. He was an Incel with a history of getting fired or kicked out of schools for groping women. I blame all the girls from my high school for not throwing the poor kid a handjob. This all could have been prevented.
