A Funny Site of the Day with your Guide Mike Durrett


Mark Twain said, "One always looks neat, in a hat made from meat." I believe that was in his Chuck Finn stories. The one where Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher get their scrapples blocked.

Perhaps the specifics will be found on this informative site tracing the long, stylish and aromatic history of humans and their flesh caps. A wealth of history and Frequently Asked Questions are prepared and served.

Among the morsels, did you know? "The expression 'I’ll eat my hat' traces back as far as the 19th century, usually credited to Abraham Lincoln in reference to one of his trademark stovepipe hats, which were often made of tenderloin."

In the Photo Gallery, see 21st century trendsetters donning The Porkpie, The Base-bull Cap, The Canadian (Bacon), The Cow-boy Hat, and The Brisket Yarmulke.

Being a vegetarian, I find this high fashion unacceptable and beg you to consider alternative hats. I do feel rather rakish in my eggplant derby.

Now, I must go stitch a bowl of oatmeal into earmuffs....
