I miss STIHL chainsaw hats. The hat made it easy to identify the magnitude of a persons sweetness. It was not the hat itself that made the person cool, so don't run to eBay just yet. The hat served as a homing beacon to focus attention on the wearer, then by the curvature of the bill awesomeness was attained. The apex of manhood could be reached by creasing the bill to make a perfect upside-down "V". The STIHL mainstay of an orange patch in the front and mesh in the back inadvertently made its way back into relevancy a few years ago. The plastic mesh was perfectly for letting off a little steam, but making sure the rugged man beneath never lost his swagger. The greatest threat to the posterity of this american icon of fashion is the movement toward "going green." While looking incredibly fashionable may still be socially acceptable, for some reason looking incredibly fashionable and taking down a sycamore has lost favor. The american pastime of filling the STIHL with a 1/2 oil 1/2 gas mix, tearing through an Ash tree, fashioning the tree into a baseball bat and then heading home for some apple pie that has been cooling on the windowsill are slowly fading into the past.
Conclusion: If you love this country, I know you do, you will be sure to find a STIHL chainsaw hat, bend the bill to your level of ruggedness, and tip your cap to America.
The green movement sucks. Global warming is a hoax perpetrated by liberals. There is nothing wrong with cutting down a tree with your favorite STIHL chainsaw. God bless loggers.
ReplyDeleteThis hat is awesome. I found your blog because I'm looking to replace my boyfriend's sweaty, stained, beat-to-$xit Stihl hat for his birthday. We're both tree huggers, but that doesn't mean we don't like to swing a saw around. Conservationists need to cut down trees, too. Invasive trees are just as fun to topple as your ash and sycamore--perhaps more so.
