Secret Hat
Your own special hat that you don't wear in public or around others. | |
Everyone may have one but no one
knows for sure. For all you
know, you are the only one who has a
secret hat. So get a hat that looks
however you want it to look.
Disavow all knowledge of your hat
and keep it in a secret place away
from prying eyes.

If I had a hat like this, I'd keep it secret, too. [Cedar Park, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 06 2004]

| |
Is there something you'd like to tell us? |
|
| |
No, nothing at all. I don't have a
secret hat. |
|
| |
the fact that we are wearing secret white coats should not alarm you too much. |
|
| |
Yes, sometimes I want the Friedrich Engels Hat, sometimes the Prince Kropotkin Hat, and then there are the days where I just want the "Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs Popeller Beanie". But you're right - It's best to keep it all secret until UPS actually delivers it. |
|
| |
Baked. But I can't reveal the details. |
|
| |
CP, I saw a guy wearing one of those stylized into a cowboy hat the other day. ""ing From experience, A cut T-shirt sleeve makes a wondrous display of mushroom cloud hair. |
|
| |
This would be more practical if it were secret underwear. Then you could wear them around and no-one would know. Unless you got hit by a bus. |
|
| |
Mr Johnson? Mr John Thomas Johnson? |
|
| |
Love the idea. Purposeful whimsy to skill-model for creative types who can't keep a secret. Excuse me while I put on my Secret Hat. Oooh, damn, I guess I need more work on this secret part. |
|
| |
Have a thing - keep it secret. What's the innovation here? |
|
| |
Well I wouldn't, would I? What difference does it make what it is? No doubt they exist, along with all the other people who have secret shoes and secret dessert cravings and secret underwear and all the other secret X's. That doesn't make it bakery material. |
|
| |
hell, let's be secret people. like by
day i'm igirl, but by night in my
room i'm...MAGIC FAIRY BIRD! |
|
| |
If sold as a line of clothes...but I
can't talk about it further. |
|
| |
Pleased to meet you magic fairy
bird. |
|
| |
Oh, gosh I was hoping I could
expand this one with secret shoes,
secret desserts, and secret
underwear, but I guess they are
yours now Waugs. Use them as I
would have. :) |
|
| |
//Everyone may have one but no one knows for sure.// |
|
| |
You mean it's disguised to look like a healthy head of hair? |
|
| |
[marked–for–deletion] Not an idea, unless someone can illustrate how "have this thing and don't tell anyone" is a halfbakery-worthy concept. |
|
| |
[waugs] nice try, we know you have one really. You like the idea, you just don't want to admit you already have a secret hat. (wink wink) |
|
| |
Just because it is bakeable by one
person in secret does not negate it
as an idea. And being a secret
counts this idea as original to me
(since no one else has posted it)
and as far as I know, it doesn't
already exist. However, marking it
for deletion I guess would make it
more of a secret. Well played,
Waugs. You do have a secret hat,
don't you? |
|
| |
You're missing my point. I'm not saying it's baked or bakeable. I'm saying it's _not an idea_. "Have a thing but don't tell anyone" is not appropriate for the halfbakery. It's nothing. |
|
| |
Your logic is faulty. No one has posted "Eat Four Hot Dogs" ("Any time you eat hot dogs, you must always eat four of them, no more, no less. And don't ever tell anyone how many you eat.") either, but that doesn't mean it's a halfbakery valid idea. |
|
| |
I disagree. For everyone to *have* their own Secret Hat and wear it when nobody was looking, *is* a valid idea. As would be; To have a secret building you can hide in, when you feel it necessary.
Your just miffed because you have been rumbled. |
|
| |
No, I'm not miffed even slightly. Or upset. I get that a lot. People think because I post an opposing comment that I'm angry or something. I never am. Just words. Don't even know what being rumbled means. |
|
| |
I read what you wrote and still get "have this thing and it's a secret" and I'm still not seeing halfbakery idea in there anywyhere. Secret hat, secret building - as I said before, having a(n) X and keeping it secret is not an idea. |
|
| |
[waugs] I think we had better leave it there, you don't see the idea, nothing I can say will make that happen.
I tip my hat at you fine sir. In secret of course... |
|
| |
I do want you to know Waugs that
even though we are often on the
opposite sides of arguements, I
still very much appriciate them.
Even though I will still poke at
them. |
|
| |
I appreciate the sentiment. Thanks. Wouldn't be much fun if everyone agreed all the time, would it? |
|
| |
Darn, [waugs], you mean I can't post my radical new "Eat Five Hot Dogs" idea that I had when walking into woik this morning? |
|
| |
And isn't all underwear secret (unless you're a teenage girl)? |
|
| |
I think it's a better secret not to wear underwear. |
|
| |
No idea, but I'm sure we've got a few wearing underwear for a hat. |
|
| |
Remember the first rule of the secret hat club is no-one ever talks about the secret hat club (or shows their hat). |
|
| |
This is a bit on the limping side of lame eh? |
|
| |
Ha Ha DrCurry. Is that a pair of drawers on your head or are you pleased to see me? |
|
| |
Raise your hand, those of you who have ever sung into a hairbrush under the spell of a magic terry cloth turban. |
|
| |
you'll regret that in the morning. <g> |
|
| |
Okay then. With your palm tenderly embracing a croissant, deny that you have ever once in your life done this very thing. Go ahead, deny it. <g> |
|
| |
I mimed a beatles number once for a competition (I still cannot believe that I won it) but no the hairbrush thing - never. my dad and I used to play an imaginary piano, does that count? |
|
| |
<obligatory> Does it vibrate? </> |
|
| |
What Beatles number was it? (Maybe "Do You Want to Know A Secret?") |
|
| |
The world is treatin' me ba-ah-ah-ahd... misery. Indeed I do, and I'm glad it wasn't Helter Skelter. |
|
| |
bliss, you don't mean those little three-prong snap-in things, do you? (I always thought they looked like the Superman symbol.) You must be talking about some sort of thing that fit over the spindle? Trying to picture it. |
|
| |
She loves you, yeah yeah and it can't be bad <grin> |
|
| |
I don't know why and analyse me if you please but one of my favourites is Maxwell's silver hammer ! |
|
| |
looking at their list of lyrics - the one that stands out is - Michelle. |

I love 'em all except Revolution #9. |

Oh, I can picture the bouncy red petticoat wig just fine. :) |
|
| |
The facts, while interesting, are unimportant. |
|
| |
Or perhaps, the facts while unimportant ARE interesting. V-e-r-y inTEResting. |

Wearing nothing but my secret hat, the cat! |
|
| |
Hmmmm...the cat in the the hat.... |
|
| |
Hat underwear? This thread hinted at the idea, but never got there. Well, it seems unsanitary to sit a nasty old hat on your head bareback, when you could have a clean silk top to go under.
|
|
| |
I think that deserves it's own idea. |
|
| |
(later) Nevermind. It has it's own idea, though doesn't stop at the hair. See link. |
|
| |
Secret hats could be an invention if they were randomly assembled by robots and put into a case. |
|
| |
The line could never be investigated. |
|
| |
This is the best idea ever. Where does one send the secret money to? |
|
| |
Our secret hats are sold under
many names around the world and
can't be traced back to our
company. If only we knew who
was killing us in the market. |
|
| |
I have a secret hat... damn now they know! |
|
| |
//and can't be traced back to our company//?? |
|
| |
Why would that matter? The point is that your company cannot trace me by tracing your hats. If I were to buy one of your hats, than if you knew who I was, my hat would no longer be a secret - you would know that I had it. If I could trace your company from my hat though, I could still maintain complete hat confidentiality so long as I do not contact you. |
|
| |
The only solution I can think of is to locate secret hat vending machines in public places. |
|
| |
do the secret hats come in different styles, or can't you say? Should I already know the answer to that question, or would it be too revealing to reveal? |
|
| |
I'm guessing secret hats are freely available within the hidden economy. As for secretly going about secretly not wearing underwear, would that be considered 'stealth commando?' |
|
| |
I'm more in favor of the idea of notional hats, which is even more economical. Since we're all on the internet and no one can tell unless I post an undoctored picture, I'll just say I'm wearing my Tim the Enchanter headpiece with the curly ram's horns, which helps me to think at work, tho in fact for just around the house I prefer a plain old felt fez with golden tassle and sans Shriners' embroidery. |
|
| |
I think for a hat to be truly secret, you would have to make it yourself. Just like the one I'm..... not wearing. |
|
| |
Secret Hats pretty much have to be unique. Otherwise people might know what it looked like, and then it wouldn't be a secret. Well, it _would_, but not a very exciting one. |
|
| |
Enter the Secret Hat Vending Machine. Giving you options about colour and size, etc, the machine sprays an expandable foam onto a mould, then bakes the hat. As it expands, the bubbles in the foam coalesce and the whole thing expands, taking on a unique shape a la popcorn. Different additives (little stars, bits of felt, squirrels) allow for more customization.
With a 'ping', the hat is presented in a box. Don't open it 'til you get home! |
|
| |
Further craziness could be added by giving the user the option to choose which heating pads were used, thus customizing the uneven heating of the hat. Halfbaking it, I guess, would produce a rather gooey beret. |
|
| |
As everyone else is churning hat ideas today, I will churn this one - the mother of all hat ideas. Hail [sartep]! Long live the Hat Confidential! |
|
| |
A better intimidating hat would probably be a very tall top-hat. |
|
| |
Intimidating, but hard to keep a secret. |
|
| |
You could keep a secret hat underneath it. |
|
| |
This post is totally unconnected to the fact that I may or may not have a secret hat. I may or may not be awarding you a secret croissant. [+] |
|
| |
You have been spying on me. Perhaps I should not practice by the window.
[+] |
|
| |
I, for one, am glad that someone has
reopened the secret hat debate. |
|
| |
That's what they said about my hat. |
|
| |
Is that how it happens? A guy starts off with the secret hat, then the secret gloves, next thing he's parading around in front of a mirror in his secret bustier and pumps? |
|
| |
Secret hats could be shaped like 3D rotations of silhouette profile edges (see link). |

...secret hat with feathers |

Brings back so many memories of a life gone by.
Wow, waugs. Reading this resistance to a funny un-idea, on
this site, should have been a red flag. |
|
| |
Ha IT's a SECRET HAT, waugs. For God's sake. |
