Crazy?????

[JCBurns]

OK, So I was sitting in the local wateringhole tonight. This young man sits down next to me and he just NEEDS a hat! So I gave him this one.... am I crazy or what? But he really needed a hat! I mean, I actually got up from the bar, drove home and got this. Am I crazy or what?!

But the dude really needed a good lid! And yes, I simply GAVE it to him! And can I just say...he
looked good with it on! He got all sorts of compliments!

I wish someone would just get up and give me a free hat. Oh well. You did a great thing tonight... well, yesterday actually. Whatever.

A true gentleman.

... now, just where is it you tend to drink?

 

[GentlemanFarmer]

Really. I might start hanging out there too.

Sanity is highly overrated.

Am I crazy or what?!

 

[Feraud]

Did he ask for the hat?

 

[PADDY]

Nice gesture

So what's the whole background /run-up story to you eventually going home and getting this hat?[huh]

 

[cooncatbob]

You my friend are a Scholar and a Gentleman.
BTW. Where do you drink. Bob.

 

[ClayBob]

Yass, Where exactly do you drink, friend? I feel sure we could fill the place with Loungers looking for lids. A kind act on your part to be sure.:eusa_clap

 

[RBH]

No... not crazy. It would seem you are just a nice guy.:eusa_clap
Your next drink is on me my friend!

 

[Leading Edge]

First: You are truly a gentleman of the first degree.

Second: I have done what you did (but with a uniquely handcrafted ring). Therefore, I know the experience of being the one blessed to do what needs to be done just because it needs to be done and one is in a position to do it. If that is crazy, then sanity is indeed overrated!

Third: Where exactly did you say you do your drinking?

{Note to self:

do not wear a hat;
do not wear a hat,:eusa_doh:
DO NOT WEAR A HAT
okay, just remember to leave the hat in the car. }​

Interesting people.

Truly interesting people are passionet about things in their life.
Good people know that the best thing in the world is in sharing fine things with others.

Here is an example of both. With a little luck we may just see a new guy join us in this Ferdora Fraternity.

Best wishes and good show!:eusa_clap

Well, I am a 7 1/8 L.O.

Seriously, that was very kind of you.

 

[pretty faythe]

Nah, not crazy. One could turn, leads to another. In turn he will do something nice for some one else and so forth and so forth!

 

[Art Fawcett]

Hats off to you Sir..been there, done that. Feels great afterward.

BTW...crazy is good...

 

[Stoney]

Art, I'll be happy to volenteer as the subject, if it really makes you feel great afterward.

lol

After I started wearing hats again, a good friend mentioned that he had a hard time finding a hat that fit him.

He didn't know his size, but mentioned that a 7-5/8 was too tight on him. I filed that away in my memory, and many months later happened upon a 7-3/4 Dobbs brown stingy brim on the 'Bay. This was a week before Christmas 2006, and it must be a slow time for auctions because this one wasn't getting any bids.

I put in a lowball bid at the end and won. It arrived after Christmas and needed a good brushing and re-shaping. I got it into shape and gave it to him, with a speech prepared to the effect of "Just try it, see if it fits, and if you don't like it I'm sure I can find a buyer for it since it's such a rare size."

Turns out the speech wasn't necessary, he loved it at first sight and he wears it every day. He plays blues guitar, so the stingy brim works just fine. Now there are two hat guys at my job, and I'll bet we spread the bug some more.

Just remembered what Waylon Jennings said
''I've always been crazy, but it kept me from going insane''
Heres to hoping a few more of us go 'crazy' with you!:beer:
