A Hat for Mr Winky

[hecubus]

It's probably been said before, but I'm moving to Nunavut and opening a hat store!

I'll be rich!! Rich, I tell you!! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!

[Becks]

I dunno, I'd probably have to go with either My Oh My or Dr. Jones.

Those are good songs.

GK, you rock. I may be odd, though, as the single phrase that made me laugh the most was "nacho chute," a phrase I had never heard before. It has a certain awesome ring to it. Nicely done!

As for beer box hats, well, frankly, I have seen them down here. I know a guy that used to work security/barbacking at a bar I frequent, and as the night wore on, and he schlepped more and more beer, he would eventually end up wearing a twelve-pack box on his head as a hat. Usually Coors Light. Eventually he actually had a hat MADE from a beer box, and it was pretty cool. And since this guy is about 6'6" and 300 pounds, no matter what anyone thought of his choice in headwear, no one ever said a bad thing to him about it. I found it awesome, myself.

And he is not the only one, I might add. I have seen several people wearing beer box hats from time to time. This being a drinking town, though, I guess no one should be surprised by this.

...why else would you buy five hats?

Hey now, wait just one hat-wearing moment there!

I happen to own a whole bevy of hats....probably 30-40 or so, between my ballcaps supporting various sports teams and my "funky" hats. And had I had the money, there would have been times where I could have easily, and WOULD have, bought five or more hats that caught my fancy in a store, thank you very much.

Of course, none of them were pink camo, I didn't pay 200% shipping on them, and I don't live in Nunavut, but still....some of us happen to LIKE hats. Shit, there are NINE of them on my desk's top shelf as I type this!

Damn, dude, and I thought it was overkill for me to have five hats for different styles of dress. The Marine cap for wrestling stuff, the leather cap and jeweled pinstripe cap for casual outfits, the fedora for fancier outfits, and the fuzzy hat with attached scarf for, um...cold.

On my way out the door this morning, I went to grant my furry underling her nightly treats.

Lets see here. You are off to soul wrenching toil to earn money to buy her food and treats and a warm place to live and medical care. She is not only uncaring but actually causing you problems on your way out the door.

Who's whose underling?

While I'm sure your furry overlord is happy . . .

Yeah. That's a little closer to the truth.

I have ballcaps representing the Arizona State University Sun Devils, the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Oakland Raiders, the Phoenix Suns, the Phoenix Coyotes, the Arizona Cardinals, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, GMC, and various beer brands.

Funky hats are another story. Several varieties of jester hats (of course), a leopard print cowboy hat, a black fedora, two different style pirate hats, a beer hat (felt beer mug with "Got Beer?" printed on the front), a Guinness triple pint hat, a bear head hat, a dice hat, a Jester/Santa hat, a Santa hat, and several I can't think of off the top of my head.

I gots me some hats.

[Gravekeeper]

I don't own any hats. =/

There's really only caps and toques in the catalog they come in either a camo pattern or in some ridiculous "designer" logo/pattern that doubles their price. The only upside to the designer hats is at least they cost more then the shipping.

It mainly use to be outdoor gear years ago, but now half the catalog is designer/gangsta/hip hop label crap and Nunavut *loves* them. Which I find completely surreal because we must be supplying at least 75% of their clothing needs at this point. So entire villages must be decked out in a mixture Slim Shady shit and camo print, thinking they're badass. ><

Damnit!!! I knew I shouldn't have been munching on gummy worms while reading a Gravekeeper post! Do you realize how hard it is to get chunks of gummy worm out of your nose???

Out here in steadily-darkening Finland (November being the darkest month of the year, because the days are short and it hasn't snowed yet), I have a hat system which I employ during the necessary parts of the year.

It's actually very simple. I have what you Canadians would call a toque, and then I put on a turtleneck scarf afterwards. The two overlap nicely on my ears.

Funnily enough, one of the advantages of living in a "cold" country is that for about half the year, the girls have to rely on their natural good looks instead of trying to dazzle the men with bare skin. This filters down the generations into some pretty decent-looking lasses.

Damn! If only I didn't hate snow so much!

I've a similar system, although my head's too long for most toques, and I end up with about a 2cm gap between my toque and coat collar (I flip that up, finding turtlenecks too confining). Very annoying that is.

And also, I hear you about the girls My favourite months are May and September. Warm enough to not bundle up, cool enough to cover up.

Personally, I like living in a place where seeing a girl in a bikini and sarong in JANUARY is perfectly normal.

On my way out the door this morning, I went to grant my furry underling her nightly treats. As this is the only way I can escape out the door without her making a bid for freedom. But as I was walking towards her dish, I stumbled….and dumped the whole bag on her. For one brief moment she looked up at me with this look on her face like “OH FUCK YES, HOW I HAVE DREAMED OF THIS DAY.”. I didn’t have the time nor the heart to try to clean them all up. So I’m sure she’s at home, engorged now.

This is adorable.
