Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

For years, my mother though LOL stood for "Lots of love" because it seemed to be used as a sign-off.

Okay, I am so in the mood for some chit-chat. Let me propose a topic. Baseball caps: remove them when you go inside/in the presence of a lady, or no? Any small-town-in-the-country folks with experience to weigh in on this etiquette question?

My impression is that once a guy puts on a baseball cap, it is considered part of his head. One reason for this may be that so many guys use them in lieu of toupees.

Probably not high school students, though.
I hear what you're saying. I suppose that's true -- I haven't noticed older men removing their caps when they come inside, so I can't claim common courtesy to my students. The rule is, you can't wear a cap in school (though very few of us seem to enforce it). I was hoping I could back it up by saying it's a manners thing (my young men tend to be very sweet, so I like to play to that).

Baseball caps weren't allowed in my high school, and it was strictly enforced. In the rest of the world, it really depends on where you are, I think.
