End Of The Year Awards !!!

[Bob Roberts]

Hm?
I'm in Europe... at least I think I am...

Rlmao!!!

 

[Bob Roberts]

We have a few, hey just don't post as regularly as you (chepstow, trenchfriend, etc.). More posts gives you the advantage, though. That, and you post some darn nice European hats and your knowledge is enviable.

Perhaps if we pitched in and bought @Joao a nice wide-brimmed Homburg he'd wear it occasionally.

What Fruno said. ^^^

 

[Frunobulax]

Hey, Bob. I'm going to take the liberty to nominate Charlie and his puns for Court Jester. Gotta give you some competition.

Is it conceivable?

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Yes Joao, for sure!
Not have it bad
You are the most western on FL more then the US men
For this reason I have not considered you "European" in the selection of hats
For that alone, forgive me and I'll look for a part as a character in the next Spaghetti Westerns

Do you know some western spaghetti were filmed in Spain?

 

[Daniele Tanto]

Do you know some western spaghetti were filmed in Spain?

Most of the Spaghetti Westerns were filmed in Spain
http://leonewestern.1000space.com/
http://www.fistfuloflocations.com/ Sergio Leone locations
Others, less money in production were filmed in some part of Italy
From Wikipedia "Other filming locations used were in central and southern Italy, such as the parks of Valle del Treja (between Rome and Viterbo), the area of Camposecco (next to Camerata Nuova, characterized by a karst topography), the hills around Castelluccio, the area around the Gran Sasso mountain, and the Tivoli's quarries and Sardinia. God's Gun was filmed in Israel"

Certainly! "Everybody plays the fool..."

Manfred (chepstow), a good friend, has an interesting collection of hats and he could be my real companion in Europe, but his will is not to post so much after a period of intense partecipation in FL (see his number of posts)
I feel almost a solitary man

Joao in a homburg. I'm all over that idea.

And I nominate Frunobulax for most awesomest ideas.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

I'm not so sure of that.

 

[moehawk]

A Joao homburg...like a Tom Mix with a center dent...
Also, since hatsR's puns are so well crafted (and always awesome alliterations) he might be our Poet Laureate.

Get me one!

 

[Cane Rod Maker]

Hat maker of the year - go Gannon!

 

[Redfokker]

Of course my vote for Hatter of the Year is Mike Miller at NW Hats.

Great job Moon and Jim.

Stylin' King of the Small Brim... @blueAZNmonkey

 

[Frunobulax]

Just as an update, since I commandeered Moon's thread. I'm going to keep nominations open through next weekend. I'd like to put a lid on the categories we have.

We'll conduct voting the week between Christmas and New Year's, and I'll post results on New Year's Day. I have to think about how to handle the voting, though. I know we can set up votes in threads, but with the number of categories we have, that may be untenable.

So if you have any further noms, get them in. A few categories could use some rounding out.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Top DIY accomplishment ... @ChicagoWayVito for this beauty in blue
