I'm clueless...

So I was listening to a local radio talk show this morning where the host was explaining about a recent trip he'd made to Santa Monica. He was in a hat store and someone came in, a local, and asked if they had any Kansas City hats. Now, me being me, and he being him, I would have though "Oh wow! A former Kansas Citian or maybe a Royals fan." Which he did think and made a comment to the gentleman. The gentleman said, "Well, I spent some time there in Clinton County."

Which makes me think, "What's in Clinton County?" To which I also think, "Oh the prison but that's in Camron, Missouri and that's in DeKalb County." But I digress.

So, what you're telling me is all these people and rappers wearing KC hats aren't Kansas City fans? Really? Seriously? They aren't Royals fans?

OH MY GOD.

It was like someone lifted the rock and saw the sun for the first time. It totally just dawned on me that there's a reason behind the fad of the Kansas City hats and here I was thinking "Oh wow! We're popular." When in reality, it means that they've all done time here.

I think I'm just going to go back to my little white girl room and lay down. All this meaning and connotation is hard for me. Or if someone could explain a lot of this stuff ahead of time, that'd be great so I wouldn't get all excited that my city's becoming famous for something other than having quite a few maximum security prisons nearby.
