Great and Amazing Websites. Bizarre and Random Thoughts.

My hats stink. I wear them all the time.  After a week of going out, wearing my hats to the gym, and generally wearing my head wear all the time, my hats start to smell bad.  Usually, I just spray Axe or Febreeze all over my hats and then they smell good but only for a short while.  I pay a good amount of money for my hats, usually $20 - $40 and I would like to not waste those purchases by throwing my hats in the washer and drier and then ending up with a soft, shrunken  hat that I no longer want to wear.

I googled “how to wash a hat” and will provide you with the best links I found.  What I am looking to find is a way to clean my hats without them shriking, fading, or becoming flat or soft.

I am aware that there are those plastic, wire looking cages you can put your hat in and then toss in the dishwasher.  I have used these before and my hat still ended up changing shape and shrinking.

I enjoyed these instructions because he used the term “whack”.  I tend to say wack a lot but I spell it “wack”.

Some golf people shared their hat washing ideas, tips, and tricks.

After doing some research, I’m going to try a hand wash in warm water then I will rinse in cold and let it air dry.  If this doesn’t work, I’m going to wash my hat by itself in the washing machine on a delicate cycle then let it air dry.  My air drying will be done outside.  I hope no one walks by and  steals it/them.

if you’re having problems uploading your images in the new wordpress, try the fix below.  I added this fix to my .htaccess file and now uploading works like a charm and I no longer get that annoying http error when it says cruching like it did before.

It’s summer which means sports for me right now really sucks.  I love to watch the NFL but I still have a few months until regular season starts.  I like playoff basketball but I have another 4 days until the finals between the Celtics and Lakers begins.  MLB is going on righ tnow but I hate baseball.  The game is too slow and the players come off as too sloppy and too lazy to me.  WNBA has starter their season. I’m not interested.

I’ve watched a few WNBA games in my life.  I must say, I wasn’t impressed.  While I do understand that it takes more skill to drain a 20-foot jumper than it does to dunk a basketball, to sit through an entire WNBA game and not see one dunk is fucking brutal.  You would think with the lack of dunking ability, these women would have learned how to make some super fancy layups. Nope.  Shit, these women are still many years removed from consistently making wide open layups. The WNBA will be long gone before the female athletes being paid to play the game will have the skill to shoot over 35% from the field.

During a night of complete boredom, I started searching for WNBA bloopers but couldn’t find a single video.  Each game of WNBA basketball is full of bloopers. I’m talking multiple air-balls,  blown layups, and poorly handled passes.  Whyis there no publicly available footage of WNBA bloopers?  Are these women too sensitive to have such media shown to the public in some type of well organized, edited, possibly commentated presentation?  This is bullshit.
