Hey, that's why I come here....I’m sticking around just to be a burr under the saddle.

OT & meant only as a joke here to lighten the mood abit, but the natives & multigenerational families of Alaska had a saying when things started to change:And I'm surprised at the totally batshit reaction to me chiding another Member about this. Slam? Condescend? Hypocritical? Firing squad? Get some freaking perspective, man.
Never let the truth or your lack of knowledge get in the way when you're on a roll.Well, other than the fact that 'Vettes don't dent, LOL. They break.
In the world of collecting anything there have always been those collectors known as "magicians" because they can take green money & turn it into shit before you know it.Just for clarity... are we talking new current Dobbs Jet 707... or one 50 or so years old?
To some degree I think you're on to something but it doesn't mean the FL should become FB.Perhaps so much of the history of many of the hat brands has been fleshed out already that it appears that we only have one thread (WHAYWT). I'll keep trying to balance my "like me" hat pics with a bit of history now and then

I keep checking to see if there is a new hat here.
It takes all kinds, and the ignore option is always there if someone really gets under your skin. I fully accept that not everyone will like me personally or like all of my posts. I expect that what I wrote will not be read or appreciated by all. The socialist don’t agree with the capitalist and the reactionaries don’t agree with the progressives. Hats just aren’t all that important in the big picture, and some disembodied words on a screen shouldn’t get your blood pressure up...yep, I can be a bit of a hypocrite on that score.
I’m in the cohort after you and I think most members drift away do to lack of sustained interest. Once you’ve gone over this stuff 50 times and you go months without seeing anything truly new or interesting it’s hard to keep your interest. Not me though: I plan on haunting the Lounge once I’m gone.
Just don't end up being the head idiot that gets all the wet kisses thrown about but no respect. I know for a fact there have been newbies that come here & instead of learning they get caught up in the race to buy 15-20 hats a wk. crap hats or Ermines doesn't matter, pretty soon momma puts her foot down & they have to leave because they got caught up in the OCD.I don’t mind being the head idiot once in a while if I find some cool items along the way.
I keep thinking....damn, look what it got him!View attachment 264388
So, moving right along, here, I must recall for ALL of us the immortal words of the late Mr. Rodney King...
Okay, I don’t have it in hand yet, but here’s a new hat that I just bought:

Nice thread re-rail, Brent. I'm curious how many grams the westlite ends up being. Please let us know once in hand.

Damn Randall, I was going to buy that $500 Lee you have listed & have you size it up for me since you said you did good work.The day I crave respect from the likes of you is...well, that’s never happened before, and won’t.
You seem to be mixed up, sir. You say you like resto-rods that get new updated, modified parts, then shoot up a post pretending you’re a, keep it all original, guy. That’s hypocrisy, and I suppose you don’t even see it.
Well it’s not me who first pointed that out. You did it to yourself and still can’t see it? You’ll get no respect from me...or anyone else having sense, if they’d dare speak the truth. But they won’t. They need you. I don’t.
$400 starting bid. I don’t expect anyone here to pony up to the $500 BIN price. This hat didn’t need my fine work and I don’t need your money. Got plenty, and wouldn’t sell it to you now if my life depended on it.Damn Randall, I was going to buy that $500 Lee you have listed & have you size it up for me since you said you did good work.
Then you've come down $100. Guess you couldn't get anyone to bite at $500.$400. This hat didn’t need my fine work and I don’t need your money. Got plenty, and wouldn’t sell it to you now if my life depended on it.
I don’t do business with those who I know to be cretinous individuals.
Even though Jim and I disagree, at least he, and I have mostly, comported ourselves with decency, you sure haven’t.
However, you don’t have stay that way. There’s hope for you, yet.
