To counteract the Dork/Nerd/Geek effect of wearing the brim up, I tilt or kick the hat back just a little (or alot) on my head and then if necessary (or desired) angle or cock it to one side. It adds a little attitude, panache and flair. Its a good antidote. I often need a heavy dose.

As a Nerd and a Geek, I resent being lumped in with the Dorks.

When I was a kid and a young man, most hat-wearing men wore their brim down. We considered them all grumpy old blockheads. That was probably not a distinctly wise assumption. Today I would definitely not mistake any of TFL's up-brim-wearers for a nerd, geek or dork. I no longer believe in classifying people into sterotypes :)

And aren't you still a "young man?"

Well, I guess so. My birth certificate says 60 in two weeks - and the leather has been more supple. The threading in my forehead has become deeper and steeper, so it takes quite a gust to blow my hat off. Then again, it takes fewer beers to make me walk and drool like a 2-year old - and the women still claim I have a body of a 14-year old :D
