[moderator hats]

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Just a mundane point for the day:

A quick search turns up 479 threads with “[moderator hat ON]” appearing someplace therein.

I wonder if those hats are, indeed, becoming more and more splendid with every removal. I haven’t seen anything to indicate that the hat is being actually placed upon the head. They may very well just be appearing there with the removal of the previous one, which brings me to the question of the day:

When the count reaches 500, do the hats finally stop coming off? Will the 500th thread to include this indicate that, as in The 500 Hats of Bartholemew Cubbins, the last one will be a beautiful hat, fitted with plumes and jewels? Will the king not chop off the mods’ heads when the breeze blows free through their locks?

Just wondering.

What have you been snorting Happy Noodle Boy? And how come you didn’t send me any?

Mr. Cynical, you make me so hot. :wink:

You know, we tried to get manhattan to put on his moderator hat during the last Dopefest in Manhattan and he downright refused.

Perhaps he was afraid he’d reach that 500 mark to early. No one wants to suffer from premature moderation.

At Springfield Meeting, also known as Spiffle I (I have a sneaking suspicion Spiffle II is coming soon), Gaudere wore her Moderator Hat. It was a brightly-colored, conical get-up that looked like it belonged on a court jester.

David B was also there, and IIRC his Moderator Hat looked like an ordinary baseball cap.

6

Funny, I’d always pictured them as ten-gallon sheriff’s hats.

Actually Biggirl, I believe on Demo’s NY Dopefest page there is a picture of our beloved manny wearing his moderator hat. And what a fine hat it is. :slight_smile:

I would be shocked and disappointed if beanies with propellors are not involved.

As the Rastahomie has said, David B and Gaudere sported their moderator hats at a Springfield get together. You will find a picture here.

Yes, he did. But I’m a NYC Dopefest whore, and never pass one up if it’s in the City. I’m talking about the one with SwimmingRiddles. I think Manny was just trying to impress her. Or not be embarrassed in front of her (I believe the “hat” in question was actually a bent hanger).

11

Yep. :wink:

This is the coolest, goofiest analogy we’ve had in MPSIMS in weeks.
Thanks for having your [immoderator] hat(s) on today!

13

As you can see from the picture, he doesn’t really have it on. It is being thrust apon his unwilling head by a drunken Latvian. And is the Uke next to him? See why I never want to take pictures? Uke looks kinda like mi abuelita in that picture.

14

Clarification of the above post: thrust upon his head. And in real life, Ukulele Ike is dashing and debonair.

15

You mean it really is a HAT??? I thought it was a euphemism for an object normally found at your seedier adult fetish stores. Sheesh.

Are you sure it’s not? At least in Uncle Beer’s case?

16

Personally, if I were a mod I wouldn’t deal with a moderator hat. It would be either a moderator cape or a moderator bath robe.

17

Unc, I hate to rain on your moderator parade, but I don’t see nuthin’ in the link you gave us.

18

I think Demo’s (well I believe technically it’s psy’s) Maleficent hat would serve nicely as a Moderator Hat…

19

Link didn’t work, Uncle Beer.

I would think a moderator Crown would be more in order.

UncleBeer’s link does work. It’s on an AngelFire site. I don’t know why, but to view graphics on an AngelFire site, you have to hold the shift key and click Reload(Refresh).
