Fashion Your Stupid Hat and You

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Wed, May 20, 2009 at 2:03 PM

There are a few things not invited back to this summer (fashion wise) and one of them is HATS. Look, there is absolutely NO REASON to wear a hat in Portland. It's never hot enough to warrant one, and when you signed up to join the rest of us here, you made a solemn vow to never cover your head with ANYTHING. Especially when it's raining.
Anyway, I'm really sick of people wearing those dumb Frank Sinatra hats, and as a general rule, you should never buy or wear anything that can be purchased at a kiosk in the Lloyd Center mall. Don't believe me? Here are some pictures of you wearing stupid hats, so you can see how stupid you look in them.

Nice hat, stupid! (And for that leather jacket, you get extra stupid points.)

Fuck YOU, stupid!

Hey baby! You look stupid in your stupid fucking hat, stupid!

Don't want to look fucking stupid? Read MOD.

Send us a picture of you in your hat, and we'll let Portland vote on whether it's stupid or not. (I already know how I'm voting.)

Hats are stupid. You failed to mention the "newsboy" caps. Is this the depression? Are you a newsie? Why do your pants only come down to your calf?

However, does this include the "lazy-ass, haven't taken a shower today, so I'm cramming on a baseball cap over my jacked up hair" hat?

Worse than hats are those gross distended earlobes. Can you call an end to that? I feel pretty bad for those poor suckers once that trend dries up. Though not as bad as I feel for those with facial tattoos.

Uhh snow days were way worse. Every smelly wool hat came out of a closet and onto an unwashed Portland head. It was gross.

Note to Portlanders: that funny wool hat that you donned at the first hint of a snowflake, you know the one with the stupid ball/tassel that you knitted yourself from hemp wool...FUGLY AND SMELLY!!

Jesus. Who put a hemorrhoid pillow on that baby's head?

Abusive has a very good point there. I would pay good money to keep those people, and their clothes, away from me.

I just assume that most guys who wear hats are trying to hide a bald spot.

And any guy who wears a FUCKING BASEBALL CAP after dark should be sterilized on site.

Amen, Wm. I've never experienced a city that seemed to be collectively shouting, "Let's all express our individualism by wearing hats that are unlike every other hat. Hats Hats Hats!"

Can we also declare a fatwa on mustaches?

On all douchey facial hair in general?

Uh Colin - you should notice Lemmy (your avatar) has all the aforementioned expressions of individualism.

When sombreros are illegal, only illegals will have sombreros.

Can I cover my head with a bicycle helmet? It isn't technically a hat, but it is a head covering...

Or is that a stupid question? *Sniff, Sniff*

Perhaps there should be an exception for safety hats and all of the hats worn by the Village People.

What if someone just has really terrible hair? Is it better for all of us if they wear a hat?

"Don't want to look fucking stupid? Read MOD."

Sorry, but, using the Mod blog as a fashion guide will lead to a big fail. This town seems to have no idea... except when it comes to kitsch or looking homeless on purpose. Might help to have writers with some taste? Is there anyone in this town with taste?

That's rhetorical, right?

No. We put the people with taste on the B-ship and sent them out ahead to make sure the telephones were clean when we got there...
