People who wear "Cat in the Hat" hats: C/D?

Almost uniformly dud.

There may have been a nanosecond when these hats seemed irreverent and trippy, but their sheer ubiquitousness as the calling card of the attention-whoring drunk or druggie who wants to blow your mind with his/her uncomformity quickly ruined whatever truly whimsical quality that hat originally connoted.

Classic when they're full of brie.

Jamiroquai to thread.

Is there ANY situation in which these are OK? Besides a dramatization of Horton Hearts the Hooters or whateverthefuck?

The early nineties revival has begun.

I'm scared.

The early 90s revival started in '96

But it's hip now.

Strange that the funk/thrash/metal sound of the early 90's hasn't reared its ugly head again (Limbomanias, anyone?). Nobody seems very nostaligic for its return.

What are those sticks you twirl around? They go great with felt stovepipe hats and baggy shorts.

Oh my god stop now Andy I'm having Phish lot flashbacks.

(ps those are often referred to as "devil sticks" dear god why do I know this? [and how to work them!?!])

ARGH DO NOT GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH DEVIL STICKS!

This was cool for exactly 1 minute in 1989.

What the fuck is that thing, a public toilet stall latch? A dog whistle? Actually it reminds me of the flow controller thing for a garden hose. Now the guy has the choice of either peeing a fine mist or a full on power spray on his mom.

They sell Pint Of Guinness "twat hats" (for such is the nomenclature) somewhere in Ireland. I'm so very sorry. Though I'm even more sorry after the Google search.

There was some Pompey twat at Fratton Park wearing one for the South Coast derby yesterday. The Sky TV cameras kept zooming in on him as well. He looked utterly fucked as well.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 22 March 2004 11:38 (twenty-two years ago)

The hats make the Pompey twats easier to ID when they go and break half of their own fucking city, after the game, EVEN THOUGH THEY WON! Jesus.

The C in the thread title is short for "cunt", right?

They were giving away "pint of Guinness" hats in all the pubs round here with every five pints of Guinness sold on St Patrick's Day. Presumably they worked out the optimum amount of alcohol required to ensure the punter thinking "I can wear this hat without looking a total cockfarmer". The barstaff seemed perplexed that I refused my free hat. Evidently, I hate fun.

What's wrong with being a total cockfarmer?

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Monday, 22 March 2004 20:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Or breaking half of your own city?

[can't be arsed to google for pics of stoned TWATS at glasto, being TWATS and weearing large felt hats, to prove what's so wrong about being a cockfarmer]

the thing with saying TWAT HAT is it usually has two glottal stops in the middle, thus sounding like TWA AT, which means you then have to stop and explain to people who don't know the word...
