Here's my question: should I accessorize it with one of the hats below, or is it dope enough on its own?

Boy in the Hood
Mark's made quite a big deal of my recent confession that I own but one hooded sweatshirt. (It's black with a white horseshoe, and says South Columbus Stallions.) I have no defense, other than to point out that I came up preppy in an era when the hoodie wasn't nearly as much a part of the uniform as it is now. I really would like to be hip, though, so I've purchased one of these:

Mark is not going to like me. I had one hoodie. A CVB one, yeah hipster, but I lost enough weight to make it look ridiculous on me. So am I hoodieless.
ReplyDeleteNow maybe I need to procure one. Chewy would be way over the top for me but the beanie is awesome.
Hope you're sleeping in your Tauntaun sleeping bag while wearing this...
ReplyDeletedo you guys not go outside in the cold or rain? i own very little clothing, and even i have four different hooded sweatshirts, of various materials for various conditions.
ReplyDeletei have several jackets, also known as 'coats', and a number of sweaters, long-sleeve t-shirts, and hood-free sweatshirts. somehow, i've survived.
ReplyDeletemacclesfield town giving michael bolton wanderers all they want in an fa cup 3rd round match. since i'd never heard of macclesfield town before today, that can't be a good thing for wanderers.
ReplyDeletethe maccabees are a football league two side - this would be quite a result if they can take bolton.
ReplyDeleteholy crap - you gotta see the goal arnaud mendy scored for macclesfield.
ReplyDeleteRemember the wench that jumped in front of me in the santa line last month? Just saw her jogging down my street as I was pulling out of driveway to head to grocery store. I made eye contact....she blew me a fucking kiss. I smiled. But I tell ya....I now want to kick her arse. Who's with me?
ReplyDeleteYou should get some carhartt hoodies. Relatively cheap and highly effective. The hood is like wearing a scarf withou looking effete.
ReplyDeleteI need a degree in engineering to install zbaby's new car seat.
ReplyDeleteyou've gotta see the mountain biking video on deadspin this morning - one of the most batshit insanely awesome announcing efforts i've ever heard. the play by play guy closes with 'how does danny hart sit down with balls that big'?
ReplyDeleteAll of this hoodie chatter between Rob & Mark is making me think of Adam Sandler's "Red Hooded Sweatshirt" song.
ReplyDeleteAnd, did anyone see the Daily Beast college rankings? I'm just now catching up. W&M made the list for: Best ROI, Beautiful Campus, Good place for Activists types and good for Future Politicians. No surprise we didn't make the Best Party School, Most Athletic or Horniest lists.

That beanie is DOPE.
ReplyDeleteI live in Florida (have for all but two years of my life) and somehow own over 20 hooded sweatshirts. Five Gator hoodies alone. That's almost as ridiculous as Rob & Squeaky owning one combined. To be fair, hooded sweatshirts are my favorite clothing item.
And I'm not ashamed to say I love "Red Hooded Sweatshirt".
Rob - You have a link for the beanie and/or hoodie on this post?
ReplyDeleteAlso, curiosity just got the best of me. So i went and counted my hoodies. 28 hoodies. Yes, I'm aware that is beyond ridiculous for someone who's seen snow twice in their life.

ReplyDeleteWhen not at work, I wear either shorts or jeans and the same gray Yankees hoodie every day. Every. Day.
ReplyDeleteThe permalink rob just posted is humorous. Silly nerds.
ReplyDeletein case you were wondering, 7 miles is as far as i can run without serious nipple chafing. unfortunately, i ran 8 today. ow.
ReplyDeleteBand aids, Rob. Band aids.
ReplyDeleteKudos to rob for watching that game.
ReplyDeletejerry - i was pretty surprised by macclesfield's quality. how do you think a football league two side would fare in mls?
ReplyDeleteSo I take it my Bolton Wanderers lost to the equivalent of a AA team?
ReplyDeleteno, it was a draw. they play again on the 17th.
ReplyDeleteI have never owned a hooded sweatshirt. Based on this discussion, I now want one pretty badly.
ReplyDeleteYou too Igor? What is wrong with you people?
ReplyDeleteThere was a time when I owned several hooded sweatshirts. Then the species known as the Brooklyn hipster douchebag ruined them.
ReplyDeleteI am now hoodieless.
Awful lot of ads for limp dick muhfuggers in this game.
ReplyDeletehaven't owned a hoodie in 20 or so years.
ReplyDeleterob...i've told ya once i'll tell ya again - "body glide"
Texans and Cowboys now have some number of playoff wins over last decade.
ReplyDeletemiddle "dingle" berry beats out jmu for best food. and made up sports.
ReplyDeleteZman - Do you have first hand knowledge of Apolo Ono's limp dickery?
ReplyDeleteThat's why his name is Ono.
ReplyDeleteDanimal, you bet on any of these Wild Card games? And if so, what were the lines?
ReplyDeletecincy game - no...forget what the line was
ReplyDeletethis game yes - n.o. giving 10.5....i teased it to 9. so i'm already down 16-0. awesome.
tomorrow ny giving 3 and pitt giving 8.
favre hanging out w/kenny chesney...and his wife in tow. she didn't look happy.
ReplyDeleteFirst wade Phillips now Gregg Williams. I'm bitter.
ReplyDeleteThe jest could use a LB like vilma
ReplyDeleteGood thing they never drafted a guy like Vilma.
ReplyDeleteReally? This blog is anti-hoodie? There is a rant coming,
Pro-hoodie, this guy. Our stable is much better than the old guys stable.
ReplyDeletesaints are in trouble, saints wagerers more so.
ReplyDeleteI am very pro hoodie. Both pullover and zip up. They keep you neck warm and they have pockets.
ReplyDeleteHDTV really killed McGuire. His combover is preposterous will high pixel density.
ReplyDeleteOK Mark, you've got "zman and the teej" in your camp...can we do a live remote from Hoodiepalooza 2012?
ReplyDeleteit's middlebury, danimal, with a 'u'. and without that school there would be no g:tb, so perhaps you'll afford it a bit more respect from this point forward.
ReplyDeleteI dislike this "complete the catching motion" rule.
ReplyDeleteI think I have brees's hairline.
ReplyDeleteZ, the ball hit the ground. Incompletion.
ReplyDeleteWhatever. I have Brees in my playoff fantasy league. That should have counted.
ReplyDeleteEven though it comesd in cans, six point righteous ale is damn fine beer along the lines of whales tail and dales.
ReplyDeleteDungy's tailor deserves an Emmy.
ReplyDeleterobert meacham: air catch
ReplyDeleteMeacham will face a six on one house of pain for that drop.
ReplyDeleteBrees and I are totally hairline twins
ReplyDeleteMark, let me ask you legitimately: I am 41, 6'5", 260, and balding. Can I even pull off a hoodie without looking like a poseur douche??
ReplyDeletegennnnerous spot
ReplyDeleteThis TE renaissance is great fun.
ReplyDelete260? you don't look a pound over 255.
ReplyDeleteHas G:TB ever written about sproles? He could be quite Gheorghe.
ReplyDeleteChris ivory should name his first child Ebony.
ReplyDeleteChris Ivory should be a white fullback...with tusks. Amirite?
ReplyDeletez, re sproles: sorta
ReplyDeletehttp://gheorghe77.blogspot.com/2008/01/bite-me-randy-newman-xlii.html
Brees = tits.
ReplyDeleteIgor, I imagine you already wear some music-related shirts that make you look like a douche.
ReplyDeleteSproles deserves a more in-depth treatment after this seasons output.
ReplyDeleteI would like to do nasty stuff to Nastia Liukin.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand how hoodies could be poseur hipster. Anyone who plays outdoor tennIs in cold weather owns several.
ReplyDeleteMegaton makes me want to do a nickname post.
ReplyDeletekinda not fair for detroit to have a superhuman on their team
ReplyDeleteKinda like how it's unfair for gtb to have me on staff?
ReplyDeleteFrat Guy Touchdown
ReplyDeleteJim Schwartz irritates the piss out of me
ReplyDeletekinda like that, z.
ReplyDeleteEli does ads for a NJ Toyota dealer. Brady is audi's US spokesman. Further proof that Eli is not an elite QB.
ReplyDeleteThe republicans held a debate tonight during an nfl Playoff game? Thats unamerican and out of the mainstream.
ReplyDeletethat's why buddy roemer sat it out? #votebuddy
ReplyDeletesprollin' on a river. no? sorry.
ReplyDeleteNight night, Lions.
ReplyDeleteReggie bush didn't want the Reggie bush rOle? What a dick.
ReplyDeleteThe bills could use a guy like Jabari greer
ReplyDeletei would really, really, really like to see a green bay v new orleans conference title game in decent conditions.
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that stafford us visibly pained and pissed. It bode well for his future.
ReplyDeleteMegaton used his pecker to draw mustaches of santorum on three defenders on that td.
ReplyDeletedoes anyone have a more improbably great life than adam carolla?
ReplyDeleteTom Brady. But that's it.
ReplyDeleteThe bills should trade for Jabari Greer.
ReplyDeleteal michaels unabashedly talking about the over/under. gotta be danimal's favorite broadcaster.
ReplyDeletealways impressed by the size of merrill hoge's tie knot. nearly the size of his addled noggin.
ReplyDeleteYou guys did some really solid work tonight. I, hung out with Greg, Vitas and some friends in a beer garden and laughed as much as I have in months. Good times.
ReplyDeleteIgor - If you purchase the proper size of hooded sweatshirt, you'll be good. It's about comfort and functionality. Just buy one. It will change your life.
I can't believe I even have to say things like this about hooded sweatshirts in 2011.
Why is there a Napoleon dynamite cartoon?
ReplyDeletewife took both kids to a b-day party so i am able to watch football in peace. even if the giants lose it is still wonderful.
ReplyDeletemy daughter is wearing a hoodie.
ReplyDeleteAt least one of you has some common sense.
ReplyDeletethis is a fairly gutless effort by atlanta.
ReplyDeleteI'm stunned that the Jints shitty secondary shut out roddy white and Julio jones.
ReplyDeleteSweatshirt update: Just stumbled across a Florida hoodie my Dad bought me for Xmas last year. Still has the tags on it. That makes 30 hooded sweatshirts.
ReplyDeletePam Oliver asked Justin tuck about the improvement to his unit.
ReplyDeleteSomeone should get strahan a brush.
ReplyDeleteI just realized I had a William & Mary hooded sweatshirt freshman year. So there was one. Lost it by the next year. Or Hightower stole it.
ReplyDeletei do not have the closet space for 30 hooded sweatshirts.
ReplyDeleteYou may have to move Rob's mom out of there.
ReplyDeleteOh, crap - she doesn't read Gheorghe, does she?
ReplyDeleteThey gave away Terrell Davis' number?
ReplyDeleteshe does from time to time, igor. i'll let you explain what you meant next time you see her.
ReplyDeleteteeeeeeeeebowwwwwwww!
Sorry Shlara...but hahahaha Steelers.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, the Wiz will be lucky to go 10-56 this year.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm late but Rob follow the Danimal advice "body glide" will work wonders.
ReplyDeletesomeone throw up some filler! i'm sick of scrolling.
ReplyDeleteif only you had the ability to do that.
ReplyDeletei'm working on a real G:tb post while i watch this game, and i can't interrupt working on a real post to work on filler.
ReplyDeletei hate roethlisberger's fat face. how can a professional athlete have such a fat face.
This game had to come down to the final 3 minutes, didn't it?
ReplyDeleteDave, I'm sure you couldve turned away from your 2,000 word homage to Canadian televsion to give us some filler.
ReplyDeleteOn another note...it's f'ing Tebow Time.
how does phil simms say that throw that tebow missed by a mile was a tough throw? ben could have made throw while raping someone.
ReplyDeleteWhy did the skins trade champ bailey?
ReplyDeleteyou are fucking kidding me
ReplyDeleteHoly shit.
ReplyDeleteI thought the new rule did away with one possession wins.
ReplyDeleteFuck
ReplyDeletezman - i asked the same champ question to my wife. she had no fucking idea who i was talking about.
ReplyDelete1 possession only if a td is scored...
I bet phelps doesn't really eat at subway. Just a hunch.
ReplyDeleteand on that topic, i'm going to wear a bandana to work tomorrow, ono style.
ReplyDeleteand on the topic of topics, i wonder which one will get the most airtime tomorrow on sports talk radio.
ReplyDeletethat ending was tebow-dacious
i believe i'll be listening to a lot off npr and siriusxmu this week
ReplyDeletedave, is your post going up tomorrow? in theory, we should say something about the national championship game.
ReplyDeletemy post can go whenever-- from now until the super bowl. it is a general interst football piece. and i doubt i'll get it done tomorrow-- i ran out of steam after the dramatic ending.
ReplyDeleteRIP tony blankley.
ReplyDeletezman, you bet Phelps goes to Subway. At 2am. After multiple bong hits.
ReplyDeleteSo, yeah, Rashard Lewis refused to play today for the Wizards. Good club we got here in D.C.
