This hat just screams “I have bowel problems”.

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…

Now when someone tells you to go shit in your hat, the hat actually aides in the effort. Speed things along, so to speak.

#11 Patty has been abuducted by an alien :

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.

#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.”

Oh a stroll down memory lane…. thanks Regretsy.

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”

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.

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…”

#21 misnomer :

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.

#34 Patty has been abuducted by an alien :

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.

Oops, too late.

“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.

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.
