Overwhelmingly wonderful VitaLid, Matt! Can't say that enough. But HOW on EARTH did you explain what we do here?!!
Well... first I admitted that I am a weirdo (which I generally always assume is patently obvious, anyway) and that I collect vintage hats.

I then explained that a bunch of folks (NOT WEIRDOS, though [each of you has the right to determine that about yourself. Far be it for me to judge[emoji6] ]) who collect and/or make and enjoy hats, post pictures and discuss them on the Lounge. So it's like a fellowship (which is exactly what it is, right?).

It made sense to her. She even offered to take my picture. Sweet lady...

I always preferred Freak. But then, I'm a FZ fan.

Yeah... I think of myself as a freak, too.

The problem with using that language in polite (and impolite for that matter) company is that folks sometimes start looking to see if I have a hunchback or deceased conjoined twin attached somewhere. On the other hand, weirdo doesn't carry the same risk of stirring up antiquated and unfortunate prejudices against people who might have physical differences from most other folks.

I'm at the courthouse this morning and a city worker picking up garbage inquired about what I was doing. I explained the Fedora Lounge to her. She thought it was pretty neat. That's nice. Especially, since it is pretty neat.

Have a marvelous day. [emoji111]
Yer hats pretty "neat" too.
