That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 17, 2021

Trying to figure how to use the leftover masks.

Trying to decide whether or not turning his hat brim to the front will make him look like a phony, Holden doesn’t realize that he is wearing multiple layers of women’s nightgowns.

Charles being told that the “Holy Roman Empire” is none of the above.

I specifically asked for a cap WITHOUT EARFLAPS!! Someone run over here with scissors and don’t send the clumsy git from planned parenthood.

Herr Chancellor Leon. von Eck / was bound and determined to wreck / that vile aberration / known as “Reformation,” / and all other Lutheran dreck. /// His manner: severe and ice-cold, / unwavering, stubborn, yet bold. / The “95 Theses” / he likened to feces, / Leonhard was ultra hard souled.

The chap in the cap with the flaps/ is one of them MAGA saps/ he knows the world’s flat/ and he likes it like that/ he’s quite happy with Ptolemy’s maps/// He’s a thoroughly feudal man/ in tune with the Deity’s plan/ he has not the least doubt/ what Creation’s about/ and the Crown of Creation is Man !/// The status quo works (for the nonce)/ and we don’t need no danged “Renaissance”/ and the Diet of Worms/ set acceptable terms/ and he’ll fight for the world that he wants !/// He believes that a man needs protection/from the rampaging foreign infection/ and down in his den/ behind his pigpen/ he has hidden his crossbow collection…/// he’s secure in the walls of his castle/ from the rage of his rampaging vassal/ and his droit du seigneur/ will keep him secure../ or might he just be an ass**le ?

The original MAGAT?

“Mamma in her kerchief

And I in my cap,

Had just settled our heads

For a long winter’s nap——…. I should have said NO to that last Venti Espresso!" "

Apologies to Clement Moore or Henry Livingston Jr.

Shortly after Leonhard saw his portrait, the toupee was invented.

Meg Oglethorpe: The Founder and dearly loved first President of The Red Hat Society. This was her, just moments before saying, for the very first time, the Club’s Motto: “Red Hatters Matter!”

“Baby, take off your coat, Real slow. Take off your shoes (I’ll take off your shoes). Baby, take off your dress”…..

You know the rest !

I don’t care what it looks like. It keeps my ears warm.

according to wikipedia, leonhard von eck war einer der größten grundbesitzer in bayern

i would’ve told him, you grundbesitz around me, you’re gonna get punched in the nose…

They’re trying to make him go to rehab….

Mother, it is August. Even in this little ice age I don’t need the hat with the ear flaps in summer!

I hate it when an agent acts Moorish.

The early NFL helmets were on the right track, but the jerseys needed a lot of work.

Why the Unisex look never caught on with the Prussian army.

Looks like it would make a great helmet, but let’s paint it gray and make it out of metal…

Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,

Up stairs and down stairs in his night-gown,

Tapping at the window, crying at the lock,

Are the children in their bed, for it’s past ten o’clock?

“That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!”

“Do you know how long I’ve been waiting up for you?!”

“No, I don’t wanna and you can’t make me!”

“I WANT A REFUND! I CAN STILL HEAR MY SON PLAYING HIS LUTE! ALL DAY IT’S SMOKE ON THE WATER OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!!”

As our grannies used to say “Red hat, no drawers”

Leonhard wasn’t buying his son’s excuse for coming in late. The old " my horse threw a shoe " line just wasn’t going to cut it, this time.

Nathan Fillion being told of the cancellation of Firefly.

Insisting upon his Constitutional rights, Andreas, unlike every other member of the choir, refused to remove his hat for the performance. (Because he was their only countertenor, there was a standoff.)

I refuse to be your human cannon ball unless you raise the salary and throw in mileage. Nicht on dine Nellie! :>)

Reminded of a frame from Mad’s 1973 movie satire “Least Horizon,” in which Richard Runaway asks the Chang equivalent why the people of Shangri-La are so happy. “Well, they laugh at my hat a lot.”

“I am waiting for an explanation? How is it there is a nude man in our bed?”
