A rather splendid hat, I thought, which cost me a great amount of money, I think about the price of two train tickets or thereabouts which is exorbitant, at Paddy's Markets.<br /><br />I found my hat attracted attention, comments, warded off the sun and attracted thieves within one night. Good or bad? I'll ponder it in a next post, but that feisty little hat certainly brought more than the makers claimed.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371925558254933645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554982014255874668.post-272712298874585382007-01-05T16:15:00.000+11:002007-01-05T16:15:00.000+11:00Ah, yes, the old evil-mongering sniper training hi...Ah, yes, the old evil-mongering sniper training his rifle on my hat problem.

It's a tough choice.<br /><br />I've sympathised and identified with lobsters and turkeys, and today it's the snake - I've gone through the sunburning stage of shedding the skin.<br /><br />I wonder how many think of the snake as a yummy beast ready to be eaten?Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371925558254933645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554982014255874668.post-46118211162978062372007-01-04T14:21:00.000+11:002007-01-04T14:21:00.000+11:00I'm a tireless advocate of the enormous hat.

And I await fearfully the revelation ten years hence that sunscreen has some kind of adverse side effect.<br /><br />I note two posts in a row - on turkeys and lobsters - in which you rhetorically identify with some poor feckless beast who is about to be eaten. If it weren't entirely reckless to play fast and loose with the good ship psychotherapy, I'd diagnose a fear of cannibalism complex.Alexis, Baron von Harlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675225579658733004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554982014255874668.post-9214906990591146942007-01-04T14:20:00.000+11:002007-01-04T14:20:00.000+11:00Got it.

...I feel your pain.<br /><br />I fry, fry, and fry some more.<br /><br />I agree. I hate those stupid comments, like when you've had your hair cut off, and people feel the need to say, "Oh? You had a hair cut?"<br /><br />I suggest you find a rather nice sarcastic response for those worthless inquistors. Like, perhaps, you were testing nuclear arms and were exposed to a little <i>too</i> much radiation. :)<br /><br />-EEileen Doverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792479203070844765noreply@blogger.com
