I tend to get annoyed with all the "Hey, General!" commentary I get. I may style myself after a WWII general officer, but I haven't yet earned the title, you know?

I wouldn't mind seeing more photos of that one. In the "Jackets" section, of course.

Grand picture.
And (in my finest Ulster accent)..."tell yon 'wee girl' to go darn those stackins and make hersell repactable!"
lol lol I like it! Maybe I should start doing exactly that--kind of a none-too-subtle MacArthurian version of the ol' "move along", maybe? lolTony in Tarzana said:Just bob your head back and forth and say "These proceedings... are closed!"

It was so sudden and unexpected that all I could do was chuckle.
It's not that someone referred to my hat as a "gangster hat" that surprised me. I've gotten that before. But normally it comes from younger people whom I assume don't know it's called a fedora. Surely this guy lived in a time where most men wore hats. If he didn't wear one himself, I'm sure his father did. Did he refer to them as "gangster hats" back then?
And the fact that he added "old school" in there was the icing on the cake. Simply bizarre.

Response: "Hey dude. You still getting that medical marijuana for your "medical condition."
