Behold, The Almighty Hoody

I've come to the conclusion this evening that hoodies are the best piece of clothing you can buy. I've known this for a while, but tonight I make it official. I ask you, is there a more efficient piece of clothing? The answer is simply "no". Suits, slacks, socks, and cool looking T-shirts are all fine and grand, but they pale in comparison to the almighty hoody. My reasoning:

  1. Comfort: They just feel good to wear, no matter what the occasion.
  2. Fashion: Regular sweatshirts are okay, but adding a hood just gives it that special something extra. You can where them anywhere: school, church, work. It is the ultimate all-purpose clothing article. And it goes with just about anything you want to wear.
  3. Functionality: The key element that separates the hoody from all other articles of clothing. You can use the hood to keep your ears and head warm. You can use the hood to protect your head from wind, rain, and snow. You can use the hood to cover up a bad hair day. You can wear the hood when you are in a bad mood. You can wear the hood in your car at night and creep out other people on the road. You can wear the hood just because it is fun and comfortable. The possibilities are endless.
  4. Year-Round Sportability: The hoody is light enough to bust out on those chilly summer nights, yet warm enough to use on the coldest of winter days. The hoody never gets put in the back of the closet, because at any given time, it knows it may be called upon for use by the wearer.
  5. Style: There are different styles: pocket, no pocket, zip-up, thin, thick. There are different colors, along with different designs and logos that can be used on a hoody.

The evidence supports my case: all other clothing is inferior. Therefore I declare 2006 to be "The Year of the Hoody". Sport them whenever you can, friends. Wear them with pride and where them with boldness; don't bring that weak hoody action. Let no one ridicule you for wearing them too much; they make fun of you because they are jealous. And they should be jealous, because you have a hoody on. And they don't.

Around New Years I was riding in a van w/my in-laws in Cincinatti. We got kinda lost, and ended up on some rougher ends of town, with a lot of people standing around on the street, exchanging items with cars parked on those streets...(Part of the movie Traffic was shot in the ghettos of Cincy).

We had to sit at some stop lights and in traffic behind said cars.
I popped my hoodie up, so that I'd look like someone not to look too long at. It comforted everyone in the car. We eventually found our way out.

Wes, I was in complete agreeance with you untill now. I was washing dishes and saw a commercial for the new Gilette Fusion. The Gilette Mach 3 and Mach 3 Turbo just could not compete with the four bladed Schick Quattro so Gilette has reclaimed shaving superiority with the Fusion. The Fusion with five blades on one side and a single bladed side, for precision cuts, Gilette is sure to be the industry with this razor. This is definitely the year of the Razor. And since you are always cleanly shaven how many blades are too many? Has Gelette gone to far with the Fusion?

I also concur with the superiority of the hoody. Of course, this is largely because I don't wear short sleeved-shirts. Ever.

The hoody may well be the greatest invention the fashion industry has come up with but I maintain that the single pocket on the front hoody is that best of all hoodies.


Yep, yep. David has it right. I wondered why Wed didn't mention the front pocket. The pocket's the best f'ing feature aside from the hood, man.
