PolarSquid
Cold? Damp? Shy? PolarSquid enfolds you in its lovin’ arms. | |
I’ve tried hats, balaclavas, hoods, and Gordion scarf-layering techniques, but only PolarSquid provides completely adaptable, yet stylish protection against the elements.
PolarSquid is a fleece squid hat that you can configure to meet your personal head protection needs. Its eight floppy arms can
be wrapped around your face and fastened to any point on the body of the hat, thanks to a cunning use of lightweight magnetic tape. In addition, two extra-long tentacles (analogous to those used for feeding by the eponymous cephalopod) can be wrapped around the throat like a scarf and jauntily tossed over the shoulders to trail down the wearer’s back.
Need to blow your nose? Simply unfasten the appropriate arm, and leave the rest of your face covered, as needed.
Available in a thinner waterproof material for warmer, wetter climes. Water siphon attachment available for athletic purposes upon request. For an air of mystery on social occasions, consider our black velvet model with gold trim.

Kind of baked

Kind of, but not really, since this one doesn't look very functional. [AO, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

See if it is black, short and round, made of felt with a small brim.... would it be a bowler-squid? |
|
| |
It's soooo cute! I want one! |
|

I would like to know more about Gordion scarflayering
techniques. I am not sure I would want to wear a
Gordion scarf unless I were Alexander. |
|
| |
Octopuses with hands, cool. |
|
| |
Already illustrated by me; see first link, [Florida]. |

[bungston], they wouldn't let me carry a sword to work. That's why I had to develop this alternative. |
|

Very cool [brenna]. It looks a bit like some dagged medieval hoods. I'd wear one and it'd be great for kids. |
|
| |
marvelous. There's money in that. Great for the ugly/shy/acne-ridden too. Kind of like a new-age birka. Not that i'm suggesting anything about birka-wearers. |
|
| |
Also available in crab, octopus and lobster (see link). |
|

It reminds me of a rasta hat my friend had that had dred locks attached to it. The dreds were nastay... maybe they would have been better quality if created at the bubble road kill hair extension hut? ;) |

Dang, the illustration disappeared. |
|

I wonder if she'll fix it? brenna? Oh and by the way, WTAGIPBAN. |
