    Did and Didn't

    Ok, I'll be the bad guy, any chance of moving the pizza discussion (much as I do appreciate the insight being in the land of bad pizza myself - its those damned conveyer ovens...) elsewhere, and getting back on topic?

    How did you start wearing hats?

    On my way to work one frosty fall day it dawned on me that something was missing. Went to a Church resale shop to find a hat (was aiming for a tweed bucket hat I knew they had) and walked out with a Fedora. The rest is history.

    Did and Didn't

    My dad always said that when he went to Italy while in the service in the early '50s (stationed in Germany) they had never even heard of pizza. He never really elaborated so I'm not sure what his exact experience was regarding that.

    To beard or not to beard?

    Agree wholeheartedly. My absolute best shaves come after several+ days of growth. To the original poster - any bearded pics sans hat?

    To beard or not to beard?

    Favorite comfort food . . .

    re milk shakes - when I was a kid, say, pre 8 or so, my breakfast of choice was a hamburger and a vanilla milk shake. I find it so hard to get a good shake these days. They're all so thick, What's the sense? Might as well get a glass of soft-serve. The best shake I EVER had was at Marcus...

    wool felt / fur felt difference

    And of course it also depends ultimately on how you treat your hat. Please do search for other threads on this subject if you are so interested. You'll find that hypocrisy abounds, especially in this topic.
