Decided to wear hat for this trip to blighty. I either look good or hipster doofus.
Please, if you see me wearing it, lie if necessary.—@ndw
@ndw if it has a good broad-brim, it's retro good Trilby. We're too old for the narrow-brim
douche-lids the hipsters misname "fedora".—@n1vux
@n1vux I think it might properly be called a fedora, but I don't think it's too narrow brimmed.
But I sorta have to say that I guess.—@ndw
@ndw Hats are cool! I'm gonna bring mine too.—@adamretter
@ndw dude! where's the: XML summer school I've got my hat on Selfie? #lettheinternetsdecide—@peteaven

I may (or may not, I concede) be rockin' it with style, but this poor, beat up old
767 has seen happier days. Shame, IAH often has better.—@ndw

No, my bad. I’m also doing a .text().replace() to strip off trailing whitespace and
not re-encoding the markup.—@ndw
