Alternative uses for the fedora...

Post by gobo »

What do you use the fedora for, other than wearing it? I find it makes a comfy nest for the Mogwai when I bring him to work...

How sweet... I got one of those little Mogwais (Not a real one ;) ) when I was younger. Unfortunately I lost it somehow.
But remember: Don't feed him after midnight. :lol:

If you get really bored, you can always use it for card-throwing target practice... :P

Well, if it was made by Baron California Hats, you could use it as a pooper scooper, 'cause that's what it's full of anyway...

I used it as a drinking vessel. After a very hot, climb through a sun exposed mountain trail, I literally walked into a mountain pond and scooping water with my fedora over my face and mouth.

Wish I had taken photos at the time, but (at least in my case) a fedora makea a GREAT kitten bed.

.....odd, I know. But it was during the time between my second DP and my Mayser. And since it didn't fit anymore, I had to do SOMETHING with the DP :wink:

I've found that they are really fun to toss at hat poles (racks), like Sean used to do in the old Bond films.

Occasionally I actually land it on the peg.

Most of the time it just falls onto the floor and I have to start all over again.
