Should I buy a new hat?

Should I buy a new hat?

My hat is only a little more than thirty years old and is almost broken in. Soulless people close to me claim it is disgusting and should be replaced. I have always rejected their arguments out of hand, but last week it ate one of my socks and I am beginning to waver. What do you think?

Hang tight!

Keep it - stick a feather in it or add another cork.

Did I ever tell you about the race of Tophatls? They were another victim of the Mish'n'reez shortly after they eliminated the Pandorans. (sorry wrong thread). The moral was - don't take off your hat when it's working well.

I think you should buy a new hat its always nice to have new things

Buy a new hat? Heavens, no! Buy an old hat…and rejoice, that you still have so much sense.

Yeah, just say no to new hats! But then where would we get old hats and how could you manufacture one?

You mean it got personality? Sentience? Why on earth would you want to get rid of it?
Just let it have an old sock every now and then

Macallan is right! Let it be.

long live the sock eating hat.

I just can't get my head around a new hat.

Of course not. Detach yourself from the material goods, and start walking. You are just two hours away from Eden.

What is your hat trying to tell you? By eating a sock, is it trying to ask for help?

Well I possess 5 hats. A glengarry, baseball style captain's hat complete with scrambled egg and name, a neat John Lennon type hat, two bowlers. A most suitable collection for my many personality sides. Like a diamond really, or so a lady told me the other day.......

If you get a new one, make sure it's bullet proof and resistant to nuclear radiation. The next 30 years might be a hell of a time!


Might give you lead poisoning, but being crazy might help the world make more sense.

I am really confused. I need a hat that I can wear to cover my ungroomed hair, that will make me attractive to women other than my wife, that will in some way disguise my true self. Does such a hat exist?

This might do it.

my opinion:
it should not be replaced;
but you may buy another one,thats if it is the only hat.
For sometime i saw some "so called" new fashion/designs are counterfeit of the old fashion.

No question of replacement just renew the old one

Buy a new hat similar to the old one. Wear the new one, one day, and then put the old one on and look in the mirror.
I bet the old one feels more comfortable, but could well make you look like like you can't afford a new one.

Nah. Doesn't suit you at all Macallan.

put it on a leash and send it to obedience school for training, then enter it in a kennel show for the ugliest mutt.

Might I suggest?

Jaybro in disguise? Surely not?
