Hooked Up Americans With Way Too Much Angst on their Hands

From my list of "Fashion Statements" for undergraduates:

A grown man with a ponytail does not look like a horse's head.

Damn! that was a good rant.

You are almost completely correct here, except for one thing. I find that wearing a baseball cap backwards keeps my neck from burning when the sun is behind me. It hasn't seemed to have hurt my career path.

You also might want to point out that facial tattoos might also denote someone who probably doesn't have the wherewithall to handle money even if they have it via some non-traditional "career" (see also: Mike Tyson).

Strat:

Dude, go retro! The Old Farts used to wear hats with a brim that went ALL THE WAY AROUND. How cool is that?

The only credible professional with a backwards ball cap is a catcher (and maybe the home plate ump, but he's not always credible).
