the new hat
I did it. Not five minutes ago. I bought a new Jr. 88 hat from nascar.com. I check the site often to see what's new, but I'm not one to buy things for myself. I'm one of those hat guys that rarely if ever is sans hat, cap, cover or toque, if you're Canadian. I'm a creature of habit. I have many hats but wear only one, and I'll wear that damn thing till it falls off my head in a tattered mess. I do have an alternate if el número un sombrero gets too stinky. Of course there is a bit of self loathing pride at the ripe stench of one's favorite hat. Much like that of a fart. It's your's, you own that funk, you gave birth to it and like an unruly child you love it. Plus, it's fun to give my special lady "The Stink Hat". Be careful with that move it'll sure as shinola get your beloved crown of cloth tossed right out of the car window.
Today in the wee hours I just had to have that hat. By the time I finish this blog I'll be chest deep into buyers remorse and feeling that I shouldn't have spent the money. Not that it was a large sum of money, but it's the act of buying anything for myself. I about had a coronary when I bought my ipod a few years ago. Heart racing, flop sweat, ringing ears, the whole deal. I even forgot where I parked. It took a full twenty-four hours for me to open the box.
Yeah, so anyway I bought a new Jr. hat. I had to. You know, to support the Nation of Jr. and all that jazz.
Side Note:
I bought the black and green hat with Dew on the front and 88 on the side. I couldn't and will likely never wear anything with National Guard on it. No, let's just go ahead and say never. I'm a Marine, then, now and always. I mean no disrepect to those in the other branches of the US armed forces. I whole heartedly support the troops as I do the Marines.
There are troops and there are Marines and there is a difference.
Congrats on the the new hat! I also ordered a new Junior hat. Got mine at Bass Pro Shops because they had one different design that Nascar.com didn't have (dark green hat with light green trim along the edge of the bill and a red 88 on the front). I own a multitude of hats so mine never really get that funky. I have always been a hat person but I like to change it up frequently.
Anyway, I am ready for 2008 and the 88! Go Junebug!
