Chris and His Big New Year's Hat

Part 2 in the Series, "Why Chris is Cool"



I left the warmth of Gainesville, FL to spend the 2004-2005 transition with my best friend in the frozen tundra of Stevens Point, WI. He hosted a rather extensive New Year's gathering, and the combination of booze, friends and holiday meriment would have been enough to generate a good time. However, add to the mix an overdose of Nux Vom and a big cardboard hat and Chris' brain started to purr like a Husqvarna 455 Rancher...

He adorned the hat (seen in photo above) and vowed to attend a matinee the next day. He was going to a show that would have only one person in the theater, and sit right in front of him.

I thought is was genius.

Then he spun the conspiracy theory. That is what happened to Abraham Lincoln! He had that big stupid hat on and sat down to watch the play. The guy behind him didn't appreciate the obstructed view and popped a cap in his coconut!

Again, time makes this history stuff much more clearer.
