Trucker Hats

You can't walk down the street without seeing some wannabe in a trucker hat. Three years ago no one would be caught dead in one of these mesh hats. When I first started to see people actually wearing these hats, I was a little bit shocked. After all, I had a mesh hat in 1987.

But they are now pretty main stream and "cool" to wear. But there are some rules you should follow if you decided to be a sheep and plunge into coolness.

Number one - not everyone can wear a trucker hat and pull it off. You have to put one on, look at yourself in the mirror and figure out if you can pull it off. Chances are, you can not. Not many people can do it. If you can't pull it off, you're just annoying to look at.

Number two - cocking your trucker hat off to the side is another no no if you can't make it. You are probably embarrassing yourself, your friends and your family.

Number three - It's really not original anymore. Maybe a year or so ago, it was cool, but now everyone has one or two or three, and they are about as tryhard as you can get.

Apparently Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey are going to have a baby. This raises an important social question. Should the mentally retarded be allowed to reproduce? In some ways western society seems very controlling. You need a license to have a dog, own a gun, drive a car but if you want to create a human being, stuff up their lives, scar them physically and emotionally so they will become a burden to society, then go ahead! No-one is going to stop you; in fact the government will probably give you money to help the process! Even if you are a strung out prostitute junkie with more debt than a small African nation you can still reproduce without any legal restrictions. If your life is a complete mess, why not wreck your offspring’s as well, maybe you will feel better.
