Slinging Yang with Jeff Pearlman

Always think of this when I see Thompson in that hat:

 

Please, Dick. Say it ain't so.

 

It's my drinking wear.

 

What's wrong with fedoras?

 

How many do you have before the fedora seems like a good idea?

 

I hope he's trying to be ironic with that hat and that serious look. Because the alternative is not a pleasant thing to consider from a writer whose work I admire.

Some guys can rock stylish hats. Others -- like him and I -- cannot and look painfully lame with the effort.

 

See, now you're trolling. Or I hope you are. Because if you're serious about wearing a fedora, well, you shouldn't be, Indiana Jones.

 

Sure I do. It works because it's clear I'm having fun with it.

 

Do you also have a card that reads "Press" jammed into the ribbon?

See, you're being ironic, so it works. Or maybe it works because you look like Clive Owen and can basically wear whatever the fuck you want. Wright Thompson, bless his word monkey fingers, should steer clear

 

If you think I'm criticizing the placement of as much as a Wright Thompson arm hair at this stage of my SJ.com existence, you are sorely mistaken.

 

I like his work. I like how he looks. His hat is boss.
