Because I'd once read something about someone wearing a hat at a 'rakish' angle and the description caught my imagination. Anyway, my work colleagues all gave me a funny look because apparently the word 'rakish' is not a 21st-century-compatible word. Pfff. Maybe I should have described the hat in lolspeak. |

It is quite regrettable that hats themselves seem to have fallen out of favour, not just the lexicon with which their wearage is described. By "hats" I mean proper hats, of course, not these silly "beanies" and "baseball caps" that so many of today's youngsters are choosing to cover their heads with. Behold a jauntily behatted gent-about-town:  Control yourselves, ladies. |

The FAVICON was at MarkGs request, I chose the star 'cos well everyone seemed to have a star fetish yesterday. Now if only Grim... would replace the header with the animated one. Prepare to cream your jeans. Nice hat btw Mr Chis, gives you an urban flava. |

Attachment: jauntyorrakish.jpg This is when I was going through my 'I will bring Buster Keaton back into fashion' phase. I think 'rakish' is when it's tipped forward and 'jaunty' is when it's tipped backward. What do you call a hat when it's tipped perfectly sideways? |

No, I'm a tall white guy, so I can be TALLWHITEGUY! etc) so chose one that was arbitrarily assigned to me and which didn't apply to anyone else in the universe. |

How often do you wear that hat, Mimi? Would you ever wear it to a job interview? |

| Post subject: | Re: STAR MEMBER!!! |
I am wearing it now, Pod. I have (in hat form): A squirrel Two monkeys A deer A gorilla A bear A polar bear A duck A rabbit A Babbit (half bat, half rabbit) A lion Two cats An apple (probably more, but those I can remember off of the top of my head.) Would I wear it to a job interview? Really does depend on the interview, I guess. I'd like a squid hat - with tentacles hanging down around my head like dreadlocks with a cheery squid on top. We're going to see Bjork soon, Malc ^_^ |

At Lancaster Uni, they take the first eight letters of your surname (or more if you had a hyphen in there) for your uni login and email. Mrs. Grim...'s maiden namewas Black-Hawkins. Awesome. |
