(Forgive the prose as poetry is not my forte)

Oh Shaun White, thank you for bringing the bandanna back in style. You, Sir, have bestowed honor to a tradition so coveted by the rapscallions of generations past! Like the noble Ashton Kutcher before you, who brought back the trucker hat as a symbol of wealth and popularity, you have brought the bandanna in to a new realm. The Bloods, The Crypts, even old train robbers from western movies, have tarnished the bandanna in the days of yore. Oh how I have longed for the day when someone would take a stand and say, “No more shall the bandanna be a symbol of dishonor!” And as if God himself granted my wish, here you come along, my dear White Knight, to capture the flag and return it to its rightful owners, the lords of Gnar. How I cherish the days on the mountain tops as I see all my brethren clad in such magnificence. Like armor for a new generation of knights, the bandanna shields them from Mother Nature’s wrath. Neither rain, nor wind, nor snow could ever penetrate such a masterfully crafted shield of cotton and polyester. Now, thanks to you Sir White, all of your disciples may wear the bandanna proudly and not be seen as the dregs of our mountains. Rejoice, and wear your bandannas proudly because I promise you this, If Shaun White does it, it has to be cool!
