Huddled by your radiator? Bummer.
Well if you’re like me, you don’t hang around your radiator because when you go near it shakes and shrieks like a Jonas Brothers fan.

All seriousness aside here.
I’m just thinking about these!

Earlier this week I saw a woman scream at another woman from her car because she was crossing the street.
Why did the woman scream at the other woman for crossing the street?
She was only crossing the street?!

The actual term came from the author Tom Wolfe who used the phrase in one of his essays in the 60’s to describe [...]

I don’t think many people get the classic wool hat better than J. Press. You don’t need any special “future” fabric (vapor-wick, magic gore tex etc) Wool hats worked great for your grand parents and should work for you too.
