The Stoopidest Gift I Ever Got

**Starbuck** · 01-17-2013, 02:08 AM

When I first saw it, I thought by Brother-In-Law, the brainless liberal teacher, had lost his mind. It couldn't have cost much, which was fine, because I sure as hell didn't spend much on him! We both laughed about it, shook hands and had a beer. It was a good Christmas. Wife and I laughed at that stoopid hat.

Then I needed it.
The first time I used it I was swapping out some audio/video cables. You know how everything is black in the audio/video world? Well, the hat lit it up beautifully. And right where I needed the light!

Then a 120 volt plug went out and I had to hit the breaker to fix it. Guess what? Perfect!

Going out back in the dark with the dogs, it great!

I think it's going to be one of my favorite tools.

And the batteries are replaceable! Yeah. They're hidden under the sweatband.

I have a headlight with an elastic strap, I use it at night to milk and they are handy.

Same here. I use mine when I walk the hounds at night...

Yeah. I have a headlight, too. But I find myself reaching for the hat when I need light. Just seems to work better; especially for close work like that electrical job.

That's hilarious. That hat looks dumb as shit. Glad you were able to find some utility with it.

Yeah, I know. I'm buying you one for next Christmas. You'll be passing it on to your son.

I think I saw a UFO that looked remarkably similar to that one night.

That was me walking around in the backyard.

And you're getting one for Christmas, too. Then you'll be walking around in the backyard at night!

Sort of cute.
