Recovering Crack Baby

#7 speaking of Dad’s, sayings, rectums and heads…..
My Dad, we are all so proud, has always been King of the Sayings. When I was a teenager he said to me….”One of these days this World is going to hear a large Pop. Do you know why that would be?”
” It is going to be your god damn head coming out of your ass.”
i’m all for fashion that makes a statement. and this statement is:
“i’m pro-colon!”
“down with occasional irregularity!”
“be kind to your bowels and they will be kind to you and passersby!”
“constipation makes me grumpy and smell bad…but thanks to the reminder on my head, any time i look in the mirror, i know what to do to make my little universe a more pleasant place to be!”
I noticed that all her other wearables have a model in the pictures except this and the coke hat. You know it’s too ugly to sell when your own kids won’t even model it for you.
It definately brings a whole new meaning to “When I am an old woman I will wear purple…”
My paternal grandmother made these in the 70′s. She made my dad one out of a beer can, and she gave my brother and I each one out of soda cans. Nothing like a hat like this to bring back memories of plastic covered sofas and refrigerator magnets with sayings on them made of alphabet soup noodles. Don’t even get me started on the bread wrapper rugs either.
Thank goodness for my maternal grandparents to bring balance to my life.
hahaha, thanks, Skully! all i could think of when i saw that color purple prune hat was those god-awful red/purple outfits/hats… just made perfect sense to me!
#11 Patty has been abuducted by an alien :
I was very young in the 70s, so I just vaguely remember some of the decade’s horrible fashion trends, but I’m pretty sure *that* was not one of them! lol.
#23 Skully, really? Wow, I seriously think I just don’t want to remember the horribleness of the 70s. Bad enough I have pics of me and my sister where every single print in the picture (our dresses, the carpet, couch, wallpaper, etc) clashes.
fluffysue, Skully: Luckily, my father spared me from the horror of 70s men’s fashions, he was in the Army my whole life. No weird sideburns or long hair. My mom had the poufed hair and the cat-eye styled glasses with her polyester pantsuit, though.
I also have too many photos of my brother and myself wearing plaid trousers and striped shirts… together.
I won’t mention the ugly red floral sofa that looked like a giant blood clot.
Here’s a pattern for the Budweiser version if you really want to make your own. It’s from the incomparable Stitchy McYarnpants who I cannot recommend more highly. http://www.stitchymcyarnpants.com/tincan/tincan.html
BAHAHAHA! This brought back memories! My brother had a Budweiser one in green that he used to wear snowboarding. It was hideous! And this one is no better IMO. But thanks for the memory Helen ;P
Oh dear lord… my grandmother had a hat like this that she made out if Tab cans and day-glo burn-your-retinas orange yarn. My sisters and cousins would dare each other to wear it into the 7-11 to buy candy. We thought we were hysterical.
I will have you know that Aluminum Can Couture is the wave of the future!
Forget Vera Wang. Tell it to someone else, Michael Kors. All you need is a hole punch, some Red Heart and a small but manageable alcohol problem to keep the empty cans in supply and you too can be at the forefront of the upgreencycling movement.
Take that, dying planet. I’ll save you, one beer can at a time.
They should hand these out at convenience stores when someone asks for the key to the restroom, instead of the key on a stick. It seems more appropriate.

Just the thing to advertise my extreme constipation problem!
December 29, 2009 at 9:34 am
This hat just screams “I have bowel problems”.
Something I just really want to advertise.
December 29, 2009 at 9:35 am
Is this what they mean by ‘shit for brains?’
December 29, 2009 at 9:36 am
what the fuck…
of all the goofy shit you could sew to a hat — parts from a bottle of prune juice that retails for $3.99.
what the fuck…
December 29, 2009 at 9:37 am
Now when someone tells you to go shit in your hat, the hat actually aides in the effort. Speed things along, so to speak.
December 29, 2009 at 9:38 am
#4 sar-sar : She also did a coke and mountain dew – the latter of which was purchased…BY HER OWN SELF. o.O
December 29, 2009 at 9:39 am
As my dear old Dad used to say, “I think I’ll need two of those–one to shit in, and one to cover it up with.”

The husband just explained (with anger, for some reason) that “they did that shit in the 70s! My dad had one!”
I asked: “Your dad had a prune juice hat?”
He replied, “No, Budweiser.”
Then I asked: “Your dad wore a crocheted hat- with Budweiser labels- in the 70s?”
His reply was “Yeah!” as if it were the most normal thing ever.
Of course, my in-laws are rednecks in the deepest Foxworthy sense. So take that for what its worth.

Oh a stroll down memory lane…. thanks Regretsy.
December 29, 2009 at 9:51 am
In what universe is this a good idea?
On the other hand, it kind of gives new meaning to the phrase, “I’ll eat my hat”
December 29, 2009 at 10:00 am
i’m all for fashion that makes a statement. and this statement is:
“i’m pro-colon!”
“down with occasional irregularity!”
“be kind to your bowels and they will be kind to you and passersby!”
“constipation makes me grumpy and smell bad…but thanks to the reminder on my head, any time i look in the mirror, i know what to do to make my little universe a more pleasant place to be!”
“This one just makes me chuckle!”
me, too, honey. me, too.

‘not from concentrate’
duh.

“oh, will someone with more photoshop expertise than I please put this onto someone’s head? ”
Just enough photoshop expertise to make a fool out of myself…

You know who this would look good on?… Nestles chocolate covered raisinets.

This would make a damn fine toilet paper cover!!
December 29, 2009 at 11:06 am
@#11 Patty: Unfortunately, I also remember my dad wearing a crocheted Bud hat in the ’70′s, it was a weird-ass decade.
December 29, 2009 at 11:27 am
Ahh, the 70′s. I’m just old enough to have experienced the good parts but young enough to have avoided the scary parts. The 80′s on the other hand….
December 29, 2009 at 11:35 am
Gives new meaning to the phrase “Shit in your hat.”
December 29, 2009 at 12:27 pm
There’s a fine line between “I like to recycle” and “I’m into scat”
December 29, 2009 at 12:45 pm
brings new meaning to the phrase: “shithead”

This must be the teetotaler’s version of the crocheted beer can hat.
December 29, 2009 at 1:06 pm
The best thing about that Regretsy item is Helen’s title “Crapeau”.
December 29, 2009 at 1:10 pm
The Pimp hat alternative when gin and juice just isn’t enough…

“Prunes are the new brown” — In about 12 hours, give or take.
It’s shit like this hat that gives crocheting a bad name. I don’t think it would have been improved by being “hand crotched” either.
December 29, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Somebody, anybody, make it GO AWAY!
December 29, 2009 at 2:03 pm
(raises hand) That would be me… I just bought it to use as a wimple the next time I do a hospice visit
December 29, 2009 at 2:06 pm
PLUS – as soon as I figure out how to change my regretsy avatar, I will post a photo of me wearing it!
December 29, 2009 at 2:23 pm
it that a pom-pom on top?! Like the hat wasn’t asenine looking enough with the prune juice panels…
December 29, 2009 at 2:24 pm
I work as a nurse – i would like to issue these hats to my bowel obsessed patients
December 29, 2009 at 2:24 pm
I have this hat as part of my First Date Outfit. I have yet to wear my Second Date Outfit.

and of course http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tyashoe. An entire collection of crushed pop can fuckery.
December 29, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Someone may have tried to talk her out of making it, but you know how it goes with these people – in one end and out the other.
December 29, 2009 at 2:59 pm
worn to protect your hair when the shit hits the fan!
December 29, 2009 at 3:09 pm
I actually like this photo, though. Direct sunlight is a big Etsy no-no. Gotta love a rebel.
December 29, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Damn, it sold. Now I’ll have to learn to make my own.
December 29, 2009 at 3:41 pm
awww and I found a buyer for it – 3dTKquCF#Vf8
December 29, 2009 at 3:42 pm
damn copy paste – http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/?paged=105
December 29, 2009 at 6:09 pm
Oh No! Sold? I’m too late. My dad worked for Sunsweet for 45 years and plum is a good color for him….
December 29, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Makes a statement when worn for dining at the Shiteau and eating shiteau briand with shitake mushrooms.
December 29, 2009 at 7:27 pm
where you *you* be when your hat kicks in?
December 29, 2009 at 10:24 pm
I also remember the budwiser crocheted hats from the 70s, and the pull-tab belts and vests, yes! vests made from pull-tabs! Exquisite!
December 30, 2009 at 9:29 am
BAHAHAHA! This brought back memories! My brother had a Budweiser one in green that he used to wear snowboarding. It was hideous! And this one is no better IMO. But thanks for the memory Helen ;P
