Some of the VIP - PAKMANS may remember a discussion during the campout about the way we all wear our hats. Vic had some theories on why people wear their hats a certain way and others don't. After 15-20 minutes of in-depth discussion we were all second guessing our hat stratagies and everyone was adjusting their hats in a contageous manor like sneezing.
I just got a picture forwarded to me from my camerawoman (and yes cameramen are cheaper). With the aid of her massive camera she was able to detect a slight slant to my hat, and even commented that it needed to be corrected!
Between Vic's theories and these 21MPXL pictures I'm officially paranoid. Could this be the beginning of my downward spiral to wearing baggy jeans and putting hydraulics in a 74 cadillac?
What's the prognosis Vic, is it bad? Are there clinics or rehab centers for this condition?

You are looking at it wrong Jason. Your hat is straight. You head is crooked.

Thanks, Randy! For a minute, I thought it might have been Glenn G in those cool shades?
Good hunting. LB

I can't help but to wonder how he got that dab of tractor greese on his chin, with out getting any on his hat.

You guys are all washed up (except for someone's chin).
His glasses are crooked.

the glasses are crooked due to the ears not being aligned...
The real question is why would anyone want to bend the heck out of a perfectly good hat?

I think your well within the parameters of correct hat placement. I see no glaring tilt or cant...coulda been camera angle? The distinctive "southern bill bend" is present, but I think we determined that is a regional thing,so I'll let that slide, besides, I bought your theory about the radical bend aiding when riding a quad, or was that screaming down the lake in a bass boat?...I forget.

Well if I've caught something the progression has at least stabalized, a kid pulled up beside me at a stoplight with rap music blaring and I felt no inclination to bob my head. That's gotta be good?
The hat, glasses and peach fuzz are all part of an aerodynamic scheme used for ATV navigation. The healing gash under my eye was caused by improper placement of the sunglasses during one ride- greenbriars hurt worse at 30mph!
