Knitted Chicken Hats: Chick Couture

Posted on by

Because no chicken should have to cock-a-doodle-doo with a cold head, Etsy shop ChixStitch is selling these knitted chicken hats with ties for your fine feathered friends. They look cozy, don’t they? I don’t even own any chickens, and I’m tempted to buy a few in the event life throws me a curveball in the form of live chickens I need to mother. Hey, stranger things have happened.

Available in a variety of colors, the chicken caps are priced at a very reasonable $6.95. Granted, I’m saying that’s reasonable, but I’ve never been in the chicken hat buying market before, so I really have no frame of reference. Sounds fair enough, though. I’m going to knit a human-sized version for myself, so I can match my potential future chicken children!

Couple them with some chicken arms, and your poultry will have never looked so good! Of course, if you own more than one chicken, you are required to buy arms and hats for them all, so they don’t get jealous and… peckish.

Venus Flytrap Hat Is More Like a Venus Humantrap

Posted on by

I’ve never been a fly, so I don’t know what it’s like to be eaten by a carnivorous plant. Suffice it to say, I’m sure it’s rather unpleasant. Still, I’ve always been fascinated by these plants that can open and close to grab their lunch, and then digest them for nutrients. Now if you really, really like venus flytraps, then you might want to add this to your hat collection.

Created by Israel-based artist Maor Zabar as part of his Carnivorous Plants series, this headpiece looks just like a gigantic venus flytrap. The only difference is that it has a taste for human flesh instead of insects. Also, it costs $1700. For that price though, it is handcrafted using the finest materials like silk for its green exterior and red interior, and decorated with sparkly Swarovski crystals on the tips of its teeth. Yes, that’s the actual scientific term for those things on the outside of a venus fly trap.

Zabar’s venus flytrap hat is available for purchase over on the artist’s Etsy shop, where you can also find such creations as a hat that looks like McDonald’s french fries and ketchup, a slice of pizza, loaded with toppings, or a stack of delicious donuts.

Burger King Social Distancing Crowns: Hold the Pickle, Hold the Coronavirus

Posted on by

When it comes to things we can do to mitigate the risks of the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing is definitely at the top of the list, right up there with wearing masks, washing your hands, and not touching your face. The further you stay away from other people, the lower the odds you can get their germs on you.

People and businesses all over the world are coming up with creative ways to keep people apart, with things like stickers on the floors at grocery stores, limiting foot traffic, and placing outdoor tables far apart. But I think this idea from Burger King Germany is my favorite so far.

The fast food chain is showing off a ridiculously oversized version of their iconic paper Burger King crown, which ensures people keep their distance. The hat appears to be made using eight of their regular paper crowns, along with two semi-circles of foamcore for a base. The design doesn’t look very difficult to replicate, assuming you could shake down your local Burger King for a bunch of paper crowns.

From the picture, it looks like these folks are less than 6 feet apart, so you might want to make yours even bigger. I wonder how large you could make one before it became completely unwearable while chowing down on your Whopper.

Social Distancing Laser Hat Uses Lasers to Stake Your Territory

Posted on by

These days, it’s important that we maintain our distance to prevent the spread of the deadly COVID-19 virus. While the best thing you can do is just stay home, sometimes you have to go out to buy groceries or other essentials. Face masks and gloves can offer some protection, but social distancing still has had the most significant impact on controlling the spread.

One clever geek came up with a great way to help keep people out of his personal space, and it involves lasers!

A maker going by the moniker “StupotMcDoodlepip” created a gadget that shows people how far to stand away by projecting a six foot diameter laser circle. It’s a pretty simple design – basically a laser pointer that sits on a motorized base, and attached to a plastic hat. As it spins around, it paints a virtual boundary on the ground around him.

 

If you want to build one for yourself, you can check out the full list of materials on Stupot’s YouTube posting. The models for the 3D printed parts can be found on Thingiverse.

I think this is a great idea, though if I made one, I’d use lasers that can actually cut off limbs. That’ll show ’em!

Crit Success D20 Beanie and Scarf Has 1-in-20 Chance of Keeping You Warm

Posted on by

It’s only June, but you don’t have to travel very far in Colorado to find snow still on some of the taller mountains. If you head to a higher altitude before noon on any morning and it feels like winter never left. Before you know it, kids will be in school and snow will be blowing in and you need a good chance of keeping yourself warm. Like a 1-in-20 chance.

This Crit Success D20 Beanie and Scarf Set will keep you toasty when the cold weather arrives. It comes with an 84″ long double-sided scarf with eight red D20s on each side and fuzzy tassels at the end. The beanie, or toboggan hat as we call them where I’m from, has a single D20 on its folded-up brim. Sadly, these one-size-fits-all hats rarely cover my ears thanks to my case of cranium enormous.

Dungeon masters, you can get your D20 beanie and hat at ThinkGeek for $29.99.

D20 Hat Gives You 1-in-20 Chance of Not Looking Like a Hipster Doofus

Posted on by

Back in the day, any time the dungeon master whipped out the 20-sided die, you knew you were in some deep crap. This D20 hat is perfect for the D&D geeks out there or your DM in your group, as long as they don’t mind looking a bit trendy.

ThinkGeek calls the hat a Crit Success d20 Banded Trilby, but I call it a hipster hat. It’s made from black straw and the grosgrain band is embellished with tiny dice in varying rolls.

This thing is a one-size-fits-most with a 23 1/2″ interior circumference. In other words, my big melon wouldn’t fit inside it. If your head fits, you can grab one at ThinkGeek for $29.99.

Avengers Infinity Gauntlet Hat: Cap in America

Posted on by

Who rules the universe? You rule the universe if you’re wearing this over-the-top Avengers: Infinity War Infinity Gauntlet From New Era’s 59Fifty line. It’s Thanos’ version of galactic bling, which handily beats Earthly bling. It also can control pretty much everything.

This hat is a SuperHeroStuff exclusive and you can pre-order it for $99.99. It should be available in May. You have to be a serious fan to shell out that kind of money for a hat, even if it is super geeky and has all the infinity stones on it. Then again, this is a small price to pay for the power to turn heads and make them say, “wait, what?”. It will definitely get you noticed.

It has the Avengers logo front and center within the word war, the bill is stitched to simulate layered gauntlet plating and has runes on it, and under the bill, you’ll find an illustration of the actual infinity gauntlet. Then there’s the inner lining of the cap with six Avengers illustrations.

Now that I’ve seen this, I really hope that Thanos wears one in the movie. There’s no question that this is a hat to rule all other hats. Are you fanboy enough to wear it?
