....the *******ngers wore their hats backwards.....

Back then characters were shown wearing backwards hats and baggy clothes for comic relief. Those were the marks of the dunce, the fool, the clown. I guess in many ways they still are.

I really wish this pants/boots combo would come back into style and be available to buy locally. I've seen them available online somewhere. It would be great for motorcycle riding.

I have posted these before but thought you may have missed them.
