Picture Perfect

I'm a big fan of the hat.
I happen to like hats.
You know the type.

The sort which people in late 1800s England used to wear, along with a raincoat and cane.

I have one of those hats. It's a shame it isn't socially acceptable to carry a cane anymore - I will have to make do with a long umbrella, which shan't just be used for protection from the rain. Oh no. It shall be used to trip up young children, or poke people on the London transport network. If spotted when poking someone, the best idea would probably be to proceed as if nothing has happened. Then when the people are content that you're a weirdo, poke them again, about 2 minutes later, regardless of if they're looking at you or not. Again, proceed as if there's nothing wrong with poking a fellow passenger. This will reinforce their belief you're a weirdo, and they won't say a word to you, else they'll get up and move somewhere else: a nice little trick for the rush hour. Not that I do such things, of course...

Seeing as I am now living in an area of the world where it does not rain for 6 months of the year, I don't think my umbrella-poking-schemes will come to fruition this year. Besdies. There's no London underground in the Middle East.

The advantages of the hat

They're pretty obvious, but I've decided there may be a few people out there unaware of the advantages:

1) You don't need to wash your hair.
2) You don't need to brush your hair.
3) You don't need hair.

Simple! Three important and extremely convincing reasons why everyone should go out and buy a hat right now.

Of course, the only disadvantage of wearing a hat is that it blows off in the wind. Do not worry, however. I have an invention which stops this. A hat-stopper-blower-offer, if you will. A plane ticket to a windless area of the world. What could be simpler?

Oh, yes. Arty, I forgot totally about dispensing the said link on this blog. I got so caught up in the moment of having a new blog at all, that I forgot to post it. How silly of me.

Shan, great stuff, Calvin and Hobbes, and I'm pleased I have a fellow Calvin and Hobbes fan here on blogspirit. Of course, Calvin refers to the guy who believes in predestination, hence the Christian Calvinist groups. Hobbes, obviously, is a Greek philosopher. And that's enough useless information for today. Or, as Calvin would say:

It's not that I'm stupid. I just have a command of thoroughly useless information.

Arty, don't worry, I didn't forget to post the link. I just decided it would be fun to make you think I did, for all 2 seconds. Here it is: http://politicalreligion.blogspirit.com. 

And with that, my dears, I would like to end with a quote from Ecclesiastes:
