I think the ubiquity of videos is due to the overall decrease in literacy, I do not believe they are the cause. I believe they are the result. Videos drive me crazy, from the ones in an impenetrable regional dialect, which is just barely mutually intelligible with Standard North American...- Who?

Question[s] about a Stetson[s]
As I have stated before, a hat which cannot be worn in any weather (short of a hurricane or worse) does not strike me as a useful hat. From this I conclude that I don’t own any real city hats. -

I’d be a mite nervous if I were the guy on the right in the front row. Even though the hammer is down on the nipple, and there likely isn’t a cap on it ….. I’d still be nervous -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Doing yard work in a homburg or a bowler might make it more fun. Alas, I have neither homburg nor bowler, nor do I do yard work. Has anyone here tried it? -

I’m not convinced by the “you get what you pay for” argument. I see a general, overall, societal decline in literacy, ranging from some who can barely read and write their own name, “up“ through those who say the words when they read, to those who know nothing of parts of speech or sentence...- Who?

What Are You Reading
When I run out of library books, and tire of the internet, I reach for my HP Lovecraft anthology. A true master of the English language. In general, I loathe books which “make a point” or “teach a lesson” or are “a metaphor” and I detest the process of dissecting a book to find its “meaning”...- Who?

Post New Hats Here!
It makes you look very cerebral, as if you need that hat to contain your extra-large brain. -

I went through a phase of wanting to be a veterinarian, but didn’t follow through. It‘s probably just as well I didn’t, because I’m sure I would have found the owners difficult, and I would have gotten entirely too attached to the patients. Once you get that much education, you are pretty well...- Who?

Hats as protection against the sun and the elements.
I am a bit nutty about this subject, having two close friends who developed melanoma. One has been dead since 2004, and the other has been under treatment for two or three years. He is “stable”. Big hats year-round for this old, pasty-white, WASP who lives where the UV index seldom exceeds 9...
