    Oh Gosh!So glad I have the rest of you to explain things when I’m tired.

    Silly me…I thought Gary was selling hats, and Geri was reaching into her purse for some money to buy that feathered one.

    Before I opened the comments forum, I was just sitting here wondering why the heck he was holding tongs…. and whether I should call the Monkey…cos I doubt Gary ever has a permit.

    I remember when the Sheriff shut down his mining operation for that reason…

    … and yet, I thought, here he is with another sidewalk business.

    But no. Now I get it.Hey…maybe he’s stealing hats so the coffee club can wear something a little more mainstream…and finally show themselves in public.

    But… um… Gary…..those are ladies’ hats!

    And of course, NOW I have to call the Sheriff for a different reason.MONKEY!!!This time Gary’s snatching hats!

    Everyday, it is the same thing. The Red Hat Society sends one of their warriors to avenge Gary’s previous victories.One by one they come. They say there is a shrine honoring him near one of their sacred meeting spots.

    Gary is welcome to purloin Mrs. Highbottome- Smythe’s latest millinery masterpiece – if he dares – with my blessing !

    So Gary has a hat fetish – it could be worse – especially on Ballard Street. Linguist – wow! That should satisfy Gary for a long time. daddyhc – I hope that camel doesn’t spit.

    Well, bev since you asked so politely, I checked with the XTI’s Ballard Bureau of Inquisitiveness (BBI). Their records indicate the during the time Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In was on the TV (1968 -1973) you were in the habit of, shall we say, self-medicating. This could possibly explain how you confused Ruth Buzzi (Gladys Ormphby) (Left) and Lily Tomlin (Ernestine) (Right). With those very similar hair styles I can understand how you might confuse them in your altered state.
