An earlier glimpse of mic's hats.

WHICH one gotta wear tomorrow ?

Somewhere I made a post about eating my hat if blahblah happened with a picture of a cake hat. This no doubt precedes Hairy's attempts.
No doubt whatsoever.

Anyway I take it all back none of that matters, it was just so cool of xhomerx10 to design that genesis hat. What were you thinking, comrade?

What was I thinking?

I was working my 3rd x 12 hour night shift in a row. I went for coffee early in the morning, checked in on the WO thread and saw a bit of excitement brewing so I checked the charts and got a little excited myself when I saw the big green dildo (noHomo)

SEV UHN GRAND!

SEV UHN GRAND!

WHOOOO'S WITH MEEEEEEE?

Which got me even more excited... and even though I HATE trying to post anything in the WO with my phone, I managed to find an image, and post it with absolutely no modifications at all and micgoossens called me out on it -

Good good .... Then for once you cant outperform all the rest Grin

Even though I knew he was joking, I felt the need to do something extraordinary to redeem myself once I returned home from work. Later on that morning...

Free Hat!

There ain't no such thing as a free hat. This will end doomily. Wait for it.

Then it hit me: about a month earlier, micgoossens had posted a bear and a bull hat (and also a fuckin' squirrel hat) so with all the hat talk and Mr MicG's penchant for hats, I knew I had to do something with a hat. I searched for hats with a "G" on them and found them at Goorin Bros but I was still at work. I was worried it might be a stale joke by the time I got home and was able to make something.
I got home around 8am and began searching for the hat I was going to use. My plan was to make a hat for HairyMaclairy to "eat" and I see this post:

maybe Kucoin has their own vested intenrest in feeding the tether fud.

Precisely. It's all whale games.

Give this man a new hat.

The hat theme persists! I need to hurry.
Then MicG makes another hat post

wich one, i got a few hat's.

This hat idea was obviously meant to be. I had found the hat to use and was looking for a larger sized image of a monkey tossing darts.

Where did you get the hats Mic?

Bought them in Mallorca and barca....

BUT ONLINE

https://store.goorin.com/mens-hats/featured/top-sellers

Goorin brothers hats .....

I was glad to see the hat theme being refreshed since it would make my post seem relevant even though it came many hours after the fact. I intended to reply to a different post (ie HairyMaclairy's "What sort of hat?" post) but I was really tired and this one presented itself. It wasn't until later that I realised it was Hairy saying "Give this man a new hat." so it didn't actually seem like I had given it to Hairy but it was his avatar...

I'm home

The "I'm home " was meant for MicG - he knew it and I felt that I had redeemed myself and had also demonstrated that there was such a thing as a free hat. Then I went for a much needed sleep.
Later that evening while reading through the thread, I saw this...

Volume is still looking nice.

People seem confused and disorientated. Like they just got hit on the head with a hammer, while wearing a hat, before eating it. Roll Eyes

...and immediately thought, "Rosewater needs a hat!"

While I was making it, he posted this:

Something is wrong with the mayor. seems confused. too much herb?

He's fine. He's right where I left him. Wrapped in plastic.

Now, can we please stay on topic.

I'm trying to think!

Which was my segue for posting his hat. (I said it was a thinking cap)
I made one the same night for JJG because he made me LOL with his shitposting cat gif saying "Get out of my way V8!" (what the hell, it's already a huge post)

The thought of the hat as an avatar hadn't even crossed my mind but I saw JJG posted this:

That cat made me laugh; you get a hat too!

Almost makes me feel like changing my avatar...

and a bit later, Rosewater posted this:

You need to be fast if you wanna beat a V8 to a post ....

Pft. All salience, no hat.

I believe Rosewater had resized the hat to fit the avatar dimensions and was the first one to use it as an avatar. There was a bit more banter about the hats between V8, Rosewater and Hairy and then micgoossens posted this:

The hats are F***ing beautyfull

Nice work xhomerx ...... very Nice Wink

At that point I could not stop. The hat avatars were well received, I got a lot of support (especially from micgoossens who kept track of who needed a hat) and praise and I really enjoyed making them - I still do! - it's a lot of fun. Sometimes searching for larger versions of avatars led me down some really strange paths but your secrets are safe with me... mainly due to my Alzheimer's. I cannot believe VB1001 created the wohats.com site for us. That's the icing on the Wall Observer cake.
