Man, that's funny! sort of like the teenagers around here who wear knit caps when it 109.

DUH is right!......Must Be a Liberal!

[JB White]

He's certainly at a game in a very liberal neighborhood. Must be there because it's trendy. No real Cubs fan would act like that. :icon_redface:
If I see him there during the upcoming Pirates series I'll have to stooge slap him with my scorecard! LOL

A lot of this is going around. I know young people don't care for us old farts but are blind to their own nutty things.

Ball Caps on backwards, shooting hand guns sideways, pants too big, speaking ghetto English and now for my favorite. All the young people around me jog, and work out at the gym. Now this is the kicker. They all have to have great big riding lawn mowers. The kind that make more noise than a helicopter. They all have equally powerful snow-blowers.

I shovel snow and push a mower for exercise. It doesn't cost me anything.

On the bright side when we really get a big snow storm they all have helped me scoop out with their tractors and snow-blowers.

I have them right where I want them.

I have looked everywhere around here for a cap just like that one. Can't find one anywhere. All the ones I see in the stores have their bills in front. :headbang: :eusa_dance:

Y'all be sure and read the "Armed Citizen" page of the recent "American Rifleman" magazine. Not the lead story, but the first one in the LH column.
There's a real Darwin canditate for you. You will LYAO. :headbang:

FWIW,

I once read a snippet from a psychologist that said the had turned around backwards meant don't expect too much from me, I'm just a little kid. I think it's just a moronic fashion statement unless engaged in an activity that would blow your hat off, such as seeing how fast your bass boat will go! :evil6:

[Nick Riviezzo]

When I was in the Army Helicopter Flight School[Ft. Wolters, Tx.,1965] we had to wear our ball caps backward until we solo'd. I didn't like it then[it was a form of humiliation] and I like it less now.I guess if the guy in John's pic turned his hat around to shield his eyes he would have to shade the back of his neck with his hand!!Uh-oh, I may have started a new fad with that observation! Regards, Nick

You'd have to have one of those Sherlock Holmes hats with a bill on the front and one on the back.

Then some of the really cools dudes would wear it sideways. Or upside down. Or inside out. Or.....
I remember when I was a kid I thought the baseball catcher was such a dorky position. All hunched down and then you had to wear your ball cap backwards.

[talucah]

All I can say is, he better not get in a wreck on the way home.
Yes I used to listen to Brother Dave, Bob

[Ping Sr.]

There is nothing wrong with his hat. His head is on backwards.:evil6:

[Nick Riviezzo]

Or... a French Foreign Legion hat with a "hanky" hanging on the back! Nick

[Duane]

It was just a wardrobe malfunction. His hat looked like this before it broke.

When I entered the work force almost 50 years ago, I worked with the steamfitters. The welders would wear ball caps backwards under their welding helmets to keep the hot sparks from going down the back of their shirts. so wearing ball backwards in not something new.

[Charles B.]

Yes you are correct, as a retired welder for 35 years when we had our hoods on it was backwards. But when we took off our hoods we turned our caps to the front.

At 66 years old it makes me crazy to see backwards ball caps on, and also pants hanging down to their knees. Who the heck wants to see their underware???????

[JB White]

As kids we would turn our hats backwards as a sign we played catcher. (Before the advent of batting helmets) We'd also turn them around when riding bikes so we wouldn't lose them in traffic.

I used to wear my hard hat shell reversed. Add-on protective face shields did not clear the visor and turning the liner around was a PIA.

In my area welders and fitters wore their hats backwards on the jobsites. A sign of their trade the same as iron workers like their circular AB hardhats instead of the visored type, and painters always wear white.

and also pants hanging down to their knees. Who the heck wants to see their underware???????

And the pants are so baggy, it takes two steps before the material moves, :banana100:

People have always worn ball-caps backwards - when there was a reason, such as under a welding helmet or with hurricane-force winds in your face.

Doing so as a matter of course, without a compelling reason is just, well, stupid. IM(ns)HO.

I liked an earlier comment - the hat is fine, his head is on backwards!! :evil6:

[Johnny P]

When doing position welds the welder would turn the hat bill around over his upside ear to keep a spark from going down his ear.
