I would like to see a picture of you wearing this anti riot police helmet in a Yorkshire town street. It would be funny.
Good luck.

Dan.

That might take some organising Dan, but I'll see what I can do!

The beer that made Milwaukee famous

I read a baseball joke once, probably at least 50 years ago in Readers Digest, that I really enjoyed but don't think I could tell correctly any more. But I do remember that the punch line was "That's the beer that made Mel Famey walk us."

Google to the rescue - here's a link to a version of the joke fairly close to what I remember:
http://tomerdman.blogspot.com/2010/07/im-writing-this-so-i-can-remember-this.html
(Turns out there are many variations of the joke on the Web, some that are incredibly long and involved, others that involve slightly different names for the pitcher featured in the joke.)

This hat was given to me about 8 years ago by my daughter's Spanish boyfriend at the time. It has the colors of the flag of Spain. I'm showing it here with a Pallares knife made in Spain (thanks, Tom, and thanks for the pocket slip, John). Maybe I'll eventually post a pic of each of my Spanish knives with this Spanish hat.

Thanks, Jack.

Cool cap, John; what's its source?

Beer, knife, and cap all look like winners, Jack!

This cap is technically my wife's. She received it maybe 10 or 15 years ago when she went on a trip with a church group to work on disaster relief following tornadoes in Tennessee. But she never wears it any more, so I do. (Dermatologist says I should wear a billed cap year-round to keep the sun off my face, so I have quite a few "ball caps" I rotate.)


(My church denomination is Christian Reformed Church in North America, and CRWRC stands for "Christian Reformed World Relief Committee", a denominational agency that worked with foreign and domestic disaster relief. Since my wife got the hat, the agency (like so many others these days) has changed to a name (World Renew, I think) that is supposedly more dynamic, vital, and up-to-date, but which gives no indication of what it really is, with whom it's connected, or what it does!)

Thanks Gary, the cap was a gift from Duncan Campbellclanman and I took that photo while we were in the pub together in York That's another cool cap I must have more than a dozen myself, and am never without one (most folks think I'm bald!). I wear my tweed cap in the cold months, with other options when it's colder still, and a ball cap the rest of the time (except if it's hot and sunny, when I wear a full-brim hat). I need to take some pics!

I have quite of few of these Helikon-Tex caps, in various colours. Like the green/black ones best, and usually wear them until they're sun-bleached and faded

Here's last year's model

Thank you, GT.
It is a Sacramento Mandarins hat. The Mandarins compete in Drum Corps International (DCI). It is DCI season and my son is playing tuba with them this year.

My boy is this big guy right here................................................................................ Everybody jokes around that their tuba line looks more like a football line.
