Inspired by Minge
See Minge's original post and accompanying comments here.
Other than my Spartan ballcap or my Spartan beanie in winter, I usually don't wear any type of cover. Let's just say that hats aren't my thing unless they actually have a function. My ballcap is used when I'm out on sunny days. My beanie keeps my head warm when I'm out in the winter weather.
Last Friday when I was in Lafayette, I saw that their store had a rack of wild and wacky hats. I was impressed. Mishawaka didn't have these things although I had heard that we would be getting a shipment for ourselves.
So now I will make an ass of myself and post pics of myself in these ridiculous things.
This is me in Lafayette. I was tempted to wear this all day but chickened out when I found out that groups of Purdue freshmen were spotted scoping out the mall.
When I came into work on Monday, I saw that we had been sent our shipment of hats. I was excited.
If I had this during my college years, I probably would have worn it to the football games. It looks a little flat but whadda ya gonna do?
For all you foreigners who believe that this is a real football.
I don't think I have ever felt more gay than when I put on this cowboy hat.
I felt more like Swedish Chef in this one more than Uncle Sam.
Not willing to wear a crown because I detest the idea of royalty.
My favorite picture out of all of 'em.
There was also a "Crazy French Hat." It had the tricolore with a bunch of straw like things coming out of it every which way but we never took a picture of that. Also included was a Willy Wonka hat, Cat in the Hat hat, and a Pirates of the Caribbean hat. (Hey, I don't have all day to try on hats you know. I'm not Aunt Rose.)

Comments
PJS: Okay, google search is not helping me out here. I've found that it has something to do with a song from "Ladies Who Lunch" but I still don't get the reference. Who/What is Mahler?
When she's singing about these bored, overprivileged women and their empty lives, she lists off their extravagant average-afternoon activities (a matinee, a Pinter play, perhaps a piece of Mahler's).
What's funny is that when Elaine first heard/learned this lyric, she had no idea who/what Mahler was either.
Anyway, later in the song, she refer's back to the earlier Mahler lyric, singing "I'll drink to that... and one for Mahler!"

(Incidentally, the only reason I know any of this or have even heard of Gustav Mahler is due to my borderline-stalker obsession with Elaine Stritch.)
Short version: your post was inspired by Minge, my comment was inspired by Minge. It was all sort of indirect. Damn my obscurity!
i cannot believe i randomly inserted an apostrophe in the word "refers". Things like that bother me for HOURS.
Ugh.
When I saw your first comment, I thought about the composer. It's the only Mahler that I am aware of so I began looking for the more obscure Mahlers. There it was in my face in a way.
Oh, and I'm so with you on the crown thing.
Not to dis on your system but I see Royal families as a financial burden for the state. I dunno I guess I'm much too republican (small "r") in my thinking.
