URGENT WARNING!!! YOU MAY NEVER LOOK AT YOUR LID IN THE SAME WAY AGAIN

[Katt in Hat]

Animal Planet (cable channel) has a one hour programme Leave It to the Real Beavers. To be repeated at 2:00:AM EDT this nite and many more times in the future, I'm certain. TIME OF REPEAT CORRECTED. SORRY...

AVOID PROGRAMME at ALL COSTS!!! THEY'RE SO INTELLIGENT AND CUTE, YOU WOULDN'T BELEIVE IT...

AVOID FEELINGS OF GUILT!!!

 

[WEEGEE]

And flying pigs as well

I do think pork taste great...i really do. I do not eat pork.

Why? friends with pigs and i thought their pigs were smarter then my other friends with dogs and cats and smater then their dogs and cats so... I do not eat pigs, my friends or their pets.

Now to the dirty serects... I wear vintage suits and that is

very environ friendly most of all because i learned to sprits the garments

with cheap vodka to keep them smelling well and not needing as many dry cleanings from Root (thanks Root) but to continue... I buy
new beaver hats and because i have some vintage hats as well people
believe i have not supported any harm to the beautiful animal depicted in
glory on Animal Planet and the world , my world, may never know.

Its good that some thing are a mystery.

Beavers are extremely clean, hard-working and meticulous creatures. It is a pleasure to wear such a fine creature upon one's pate! Now...why anyone would want to wear an opossum fur coat????[huh]

AVOID FEELINGS OF GUILT!!!

Buy a "guilt free" wool fedora.

 

[WEEGEE]

NO WAY TO USE A SHEEP

I think if your going to slum Llama is the way to go.

 

[Johnnysan]

Buy a "guilt free" wool fedora.

Well...not entirely "guilt free"! lol

Shaving

I think we need to promote fur only from shaved beavers as opposed to killing them.

If you can shear a sheep you can shave a beaver![huh]

My Work Here Is Done...

I've elicited a lively, yet non-political discussion groop.

All sing Gilbert & Sullivan's Poor Little Buttercup .

(and a one and a two...)

:fedora: :deadhorse :fedora:

By George! Now that's an idea that's way ahead of it's time.
Beaver farming. Now why didn't I think of that?

 

[Katt in Hat]

I'll be watching the show again in TWO hours. CORRECTED TIME.

God help me but Art Fawcett is working on my
7X clear Beaver lid even as we speak.

Those seal pups are so
darned cute!!!

 

[WEEGEE]

7X clear Beaver

Does that improve your skin tone

 

[Katt in Hat]

Partial [Q] of post

"Wow! In 1953 the 7X Beaver cost $50 according to Stetson literature so you got it for less than list price but it has quite a bit of potential there. That hat is one class up from the Stetson 100 so you have some decent felt there my friend. If it were a 7 5/8 I would say lose it my way."

It cost $62.50 with shipping and insurance. It is to be returned by mid Autumn at the latest. ($46 for hat, $16,50 shipping)

$364.97 in the year 2005 has the same "purchase power" as $50.00 in the year 1953.


Hi Jake,
I just took a look at the hat and you got a deal!! Clear beaver is the top of the line. Now, if only it is soft when it gets here rather than brick hard (it was hard!) with stiffener. It would be helpful if you gave me a measurement of your head with a soft tape. That would help with the size issue.(I screwed up and didn't use the conformer properly)

I'll go over everything with you when I get the hat.
Thanks for the business
Art

Now why did you go and do this thread. I was just getting ready to place an order with Adventure Bilt for a beaver hat. Maybe I can dye one of my straws.

 

[Feraud]

For shame you are all contributing to the deaths of precious, intelligent beavers.

Please p.m. me and I will take those abominations off your hands.

 

[carebear]

Dam the beavers!

Blocking Mother Nature's beautiful streams, flooding the other happy woodland creatures out of their houses and homes. :rage:

Join the woodland liberation! A hat for you means a home for a bunny!

 

[Tony in Tarzana]

How about nutria? Aren't they just ugly fat rats? lol

 

[Baron Kurtz]

not so ugly, really. Certainly prettier than a filthy rat. More like a beaver than a rat, really.

Awww, ain't he cute!

 

[carebear]

Cute, but deadly predators of men.

Remember Pres. Carter... lol

Thinking about it, most creatures made into hats deserve it.
