Choose a hat for me because I played 300 online games of SotM in 2014

Matchstickman started this - a while back he posted a thread celebrating some large number of users (I forget how many) and as a result many forum members sported party-hat-flavoured avatars for a while.

Despite considerable pressure to conform, I resisted joining the ranks of the behatted.

But eventually I promised that I would wear an avatar hat of the forum's choice for some arbitrary length of time (likely a week, but I'll say a month now to be on the safe side) if I successfully completed 300 online games in 2014.

And thanks to a bunch of awesome people I hit my goal at 10.30pm on New Year's Eve, so now I need to let you guys choose my hat. I'd like you to post images for your collective consideration, and I'm imposing the following rules, because I'm mad with power.

• Each forum member may submit only one image, to stop things getting crazy. Post your image in this thread.
• Usual forum rules apply - nothing offensive, no nudity or profanity, and nothing that will get any of us into trouble in any way.
• I reserve the right to veto any image that endangers anyone or misrepresents me in a way I find morally unacceptable. I'm perfectly happy to look silly though!
• Images should be of appropriate dimensions and file size to work as an avatar - whatever the forum software demands. And of course they should include a hat in some way!
• The deadline for image submission is 2.00am (GMT, work out your own time for yourself) 9 January 2015.
• Any registered forum member may then vote for the hat they want me to wear. I'll organise a voting system once I know how many entries there are, and I'll allow a one week voting period.
• I'll wear the winning avatar for at least one calendar month, and the winner gets the satisfaction of knowing that the forum thinks their hat is the best!

This is going to be awesome. I have faith in you guys. :)

Two wonderful entries already! Thank you guys!

I know that I'm going to find the perfect hat moments after I post this, but whatever.  I like it.

 My bad ms paint skills giving your current avatar a hat

Great stuff!

Actually I guess if someone really wanted to change their entry, I could allow that. It'd still only be one total image, and that's fine.

With so many options, this is clearly the only way to go... wear 'em all!

Inspector Gadget, anyone?

I found several hats that were exceptionally silly, but I think this one takes the (urinal) cake:

If you can't make it out, that is a bathroom. On her head.

cringes

If she were on a ship, she could visit the head with a head on her head.

Did I get ahead of myself?

This is looking very good indeed - I think I'm going to look extremely silly for a month. Great stuff!

She just needs to make sure she doesn’t hit the head on her head on the head as she is trying to hit the head – then not only would she hit the head on her head off of her head, in the head, but she would also hit her head on the head, with a head on her head, instead of hitting the head with a head on her head.

And that’s just awful.

Wrap your head around that!

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Not impressed. Try this one:

John, while Jim had had, “had,” had had, “had had;” “had had” had had a better effect on the teacher.

The goat the cat the dog the stick the fire the water the ox the angel of death killed drank extinguished burned hit bit ate was bought for two zuzim.

Bonus points for anyone who recognizes the song that inspired this.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Ding ding ding!

Your prize is you get to go to the head ahead of the woman with a head on her head who is in danger of hitting her head on the head and knocking the head on her head off of her head in the head.  Although perhaps the head on her head will stay on her head when she bumps her head in the head and she'll end up with a bruise on her head instead.

*brain explodes*

These spambots are getting much more sophisticated nowadays.

Glorious.

Finally, a pun thread I can…

get behind.

Yeah, there's a reason I hate pun threads. For the same reason I hate sports – excluding bowling and raquetball – and love board games. My enjoyment of something is, generally speaking, directly proportional to how good I am at doing it.

I was *cringing* because I was imagining a urnial cake as an actual cake. That's not a plesant mental image.

A urinal cake cake?

How horrid...

I knew this fact would come in handy!

1797 the top hat is first worn in public by James Heatherington drawing a huge disorderly crowd, Heatherington is arrested and charged with causing a breach of the peace and for appearing on the public highway wearing a tall structure of a shining lustre and calculated to disturb timid people.

Huzzah for the top hat!

However, a top hat is not good enough for you, this is the hat you should wear.

and when you take it off you can eat it (it'll still be good in a month right?).

Hat! I demand a hat! Or at least a decision on a hat.

Patience, grasshopper. The Silverleaf needs to sleep. Lack of sleep makes the Silverleaf unable to organise hat-voting, and also unable to prevent herself from referring to herself in the third person.

Speaking of hat voting…

Don't grasshoppers eat leaves? Not sure about silvery ones, though…

I was actually wondering what happened to this thread.

I think someone still owes us a hat

And there's not much to say about that

I won't say too much

about promises and such

for I don't want this post to fall flat.
