Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 I have decided on a new hobby. I shall buy a vintage sports car, possibly red, and cruise the college campuses inder the pseudonym Professor Alpha Centauri Jones, head of the Astrophysics Archaeology Department. I think I may need an ascot too. And some tweed. EDIT: By the way, I’m not looking to hook up with silly co-eds, God forbid. I would prefer more mature faculty members. Like art or history teachers who could hold an intelligent conversation over a glass of wine. So there! Or perhaps I’m setting the bar too high. Yeah. Dumb plan. I’ll put my cowboy boots back on. 5 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be more likely to have an intelligent conversation WITH the silly co-ed. Their minds are still developing. The mind of your average college teacher has been rotted by years of "Academia". 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Devil Dale Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) The college campus venue probably is not a good choice if you're looking for logical thought and non-confronational conversation. Edited July 13 by Dusty Devil Dale 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Don't let the "Nay-Sayers" bug ya. I really like the Cap. Be it a "Thug" or "Paper Boy" or whatever, it's a fine Cap. I have about a dozen of 'em. Some from Ireland, Some form Scotland, Some from Disneyland. Great Hats all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Funny, I have a cap that was my Dad's, a Cuffley Cap by Stetson, fur felt made in England of all things. Rather stylish and it looked good on him. He wore it on a trip to visit relatives in Germany. Everyone was horrified because at the time, that cap style was all the rage among German gangsters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 (edited) I do not wear the scally cap into town. I would be pegged as a tourist and wouldn’t be able to get a good deal on Navajo jewelry.

Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Maybe this would be a great ride. Just think how cool you would look pedaling down the country side roads with a pipe in your mouth, your tweed jacket with added elbow patches, and greeting the ladies in your best British Accent. The best part, its Red. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
