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.

What was the handle of your real word friend who used to post on here and was nice enough to share a picture from your bachelor party?

That's a venn diagram of people who should wear their hats backwards and people that would recognize any living boxer

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".

Oh man, what disease is that?

I'm approaching the limits of my cynicism.

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

Never happened.

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.

Obligatory

Just had to deplane at Logan due to a security concern but not before telling Luis Tiant that I wasn’t in line to pee

El Peeante.

That is impressive!

He looked at the urinal the whole time but i still know it was him

So you recognized him by his signature curve?

Yeh, I hope he isn't swiveling as he urinates.

Let's just hope Ryan was standing to his left if he did.

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.

I told you the Pfister was where the out of town teams stayed!

Probably the 'road beef'. Do you really think WAG's from San Diego are going to road trip to Milwaukee?

It me just bonding over our shared love of shitty Midwestern fast food burgers with Timothy Showalter on Twitter

I think I mentioned this, but HEAL is based in the town my wife grew up in. That's super weird to me.

And The Handmaid's Tale is inspired by a cult that lived in the town you briefly lived in, and I still live.

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.

Jon Taffer is at the American Aquarium show I’m at but honest I see him all the time. He has VGK season tickets &Ive seen him there 3 or 4 times.

Just ran 3 miles on a treadmill about 30 feet from J. Lo.

Seriously thought you meant Jerloma. But I was like, wut.

Was she dressed like this:

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.

Does anyone need instagram posts transcribed?

Bet you were “brushing” up against some “threads”, if you know what I mean.

Just had a beer with Cal Ripken Jr. And by that I mean he and I both were having beers and sharing a backrest in booths at the Ike's lounge in the Minneapolis St. Paul airport

You should have wished him Mazel Tov on his recent marriage.

met brian at rio last night for drinks. hes an awesome guy

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.

So quick to absolve yourself, though? You could have had a hand in preventing this, too!
