So that's where my hat blew off to
It took me by surprise. This sudden gust of wind blew over my head while I was in the garden and whoosh, no more hat! It was a pale spot dancing high in the sky the last time I saw it.
So imagine my surprise when we went down to the automatic milking machine for a couple of liters and lo and behold, my garden hat! The statue was wearing it!! How? Who? Did it really drop down smack dab on the top of his head? Well I'm sure he needs sun protection more than I do as it gets unbearably hot down at the lake. That last time I saw him he was wearing a red and white santa cap; somebody in town must be looking after him.

This is priceless!
That's fabulous! Suits him too.
That's a funny lost-my-hat-story!
When the wind blows, Capsurz to the rescue! www.capsurz.com
Capsurz windproof your cap!
(Laughing so hard I have tears)
Gotta love the sense of humor on the peeps in yo town! Here nobody but the homeless would even touch hats...everybody would be like EWWWWW...UKUS!
Take back your hat. Tell him you can prove it's yours by telling him what brand, size it is and if that doesn't work, tell him you have the receipt. Promise him you'll bring another one that better matches his outfit. One that's more weatherproof.
Then when you get it back you should get what the old Japanese tourists have-a string with a clip on each end. One clip on DaHat, odda one clip on DaShirt. :)
Dat way if you encounter any more gusts da shirt go too (nah only joke) ;)
Ha ha h a! thats funny :)
Hilarious, that must of been a hoot to see your hat!! :-)
haha! i love that! even statues need some shade.
unbelievable....and it does fit well on the statue.
LOL! That is totally priceless!
Update:
To get an even better scope of how this all looks, check the zoom-out image on flickr. Not so long ago, one of the angels below the saint was wearing part of a Halloween costume. Would you believe that it was a witch's hat?!? The nerve of these people!
...what next a grass skirt? Tell him if he's going to wear your hat then he needs to come help garden, or sic the doggies on him.
I don't know whether to be amused, or sad that there are people who are so bored...
From the way you talk, dressing up statues is a common practice in your neighborhood.
That's pretty odd, but finding your hat after having it blow away, and in such an odd location, is a great opportunity for a story!
Ah, and I see you're still getting the milk from the machines... ^_^
Carlae - you know, I was half expecting that hat to be long gone with all the gusts that we've been having, but it was still on the statue when we drove into town this morning!
Tales - gotcha! I think you should know that I have a thing for humor, and most readers who have followed me for a while know what I'm capable of. ^-^
When I saw the statue with the santa hat (this is true) for the first time I was appalled, but even more so when the angel at its feet had that witch's hat on. Really, no respect I tell you!
That's a great shot :)
Long time no see da wahine ;)
so cool! in japan whenever someone loses something, the finder places/hangs it on a wall or near the place where it was found.
K and S just gave me an idea. At work one of the Japanese tourists left behind a hat, and it's still sitting on the floor where they left it, but this has given me an idea. (enter maniacal laughter) IF it's still there on Tuesday when I go back to work, one of the statues nearby WILL be wearing a floppy black hat*
Bwahahaaaaaa...

Barbara - eh, dea you stay! I nevah see you long time sistah ^-^
Kat - I think that practice may hold true only for hubcaps. Every now and then I see them propped along the highway, like abandoned little car parts?
Debi - you would do that but you won't go to see the Earthdog trials???!!!! Come on, you know that would be so great to see on your dog. Shu would be da Mastah!
I am rollingggggggg, Rowena! It's more becoming than pidgeons! ;)
Waimanalo?! Holy Freakin Day Trip, Batman! LOL. Maybe I'll catch the next one, after my car warranty expires and gas goes down...hahaa, but no promises. ;)
And Mama will have you know dat she is DaMastah, Shu is only DaGrasshoppa. ;)
This post was just so gosh-darned funny! XD
Petra, Midge - thanks ladies. I try my best at keeping the topics light, fresh, tasty and funny. Man cannot live by food porn alone!
Perhaps you can dress him up regularly like the Brussels statue Manchen Piss. Each week a new hat or fancy accessory. Such a benevolent hand like that could surely use a watch, or at least a pinky ring!
Boomka - I'm appointing myself as his official photographer. Every time there is a hat change, you all will be the first to know it.
Hilarious! You live in the best town - a town with an actual sense of humor. Imagine!
OK, I get to work this morning after 3 glorious days off and what do I see? Of course, just my luck, the floppy black hat is **GONE**,
maybe taken by some homeless person passing by. And I looked all over, thinking maybe someone kicked it under something.
*sniff* I'll have to think up another creative outlet...
to pass the next 9.5 hours...
Debi - here's hoping that at least .5 of that 9 and a half is spent eating something healthy for lunch!
How in the world did it get there. Too funny.
