Hotdog Hat!Things in the "Slow Weekend" thread were shifting to it. I think it deserves its own topic.
And to Schmall, yes, I did wear this in public. If you can't make fun of yourself, then the situation would be more of humiliation rather than a joke.
I didn't wear it in the park, however, since we were going on rides and stuff. I wore it in the car, and I got the attention of many. One guy was staring at me from his truck next to us at a red light, and I turned and locked eyes with him. He noticed my vision, then I nodded and said to him "What's up?" He nodded, turned, and laughed.
We were going down the highway back to my friend's house, still in New Hampshire. We were in the middle lane of a three-lane highway, and a car in the left lane sped past us. None of us thought anything of it, and I was still wearing the hotdog hat. My friend was wearing a sombrero and advertising a small bottle of hot sauce out the window. A moment later, I see the same car ahead of us, but its going slower than us. I took off the hat. When we caught up, some kids anywhere from seventeen to twenty years old were all looking out the window at me, and laughing. I gave them a confused look on purpose, and started laughing too. Three times did they speed up ahead of us, then slow down to see if I put the hat on again.
Back in Massachusetts, when we were dropping off another one of my friends, we fooled around at every intersection. We opened all the windows and started singing "La Cucaracha" at the top of our lungs, and when we got tired of that we sang mariachi band tunes, all the while creeping people out or making their day a little happier. If someone didn't even look at us, we stared at them (at the intersections) until they looked, and we either said to the "Hotdog?' or "Hot sauce??
For the record, best prank where everyone benefited.

That is awesome. now you just need a bottle of ketchup or mustard hanging from your rear view mirror and it would be perfect.
and i do agree, the best is when you can make fun of yourself and allow all to enjoy. no one can touch you then. you're just untouchable.

I feel as though this hotdog hat will become a symbol for generations to come if you wear it regularly. If you lived in my neighborhood, then you might even become a "true tale of horror from the upper-east side"

If I wore it anywhere in NYC, I think most people would think of me as a hotdog vendor, and not much else. Yet, wearing it regularly around my neighborhood and school will only give me a weird title, considering most people call me Beans already.

Lol, we call you beans becuz we dont have anything else to call you here. However in NYC i think they would most likely jsut ignore you entirely. That is the norm for how us proud new yorkers act.

Seriously, if you can ignore a crazy lady, ignoring someone with a hat is easy. Still, if you were to wear it in Worcester you would look out of place and probably be stabbed, shot, then lit on fire.

Koku, that is if you are LUCKY!! from what I have heard, you may even get tied to a car and dragged, perhaps curbed, or even worse, tied down where packs of hungry, wild street dogs roam...

minus the attacking grannies and thier dogs and you will have fort kent and surrounding towns equal to or greater in size. they try to look all gangtah and you just cant help but laugh. Its easy to do so when you have a SVU that is twice the size of all thier trash cars too!

Yeah Worcester is ghetto (trust me on that one as I have been here for the greater majority of my life and lived in a shady area). I feel people should respect the hotdog hat more then they would. It is truly something special.
