After much clamoring and gnashing of teeth it's finally time for the TRS Old Hat Post! Here's picture number 1!
And picture number 2!
And picture number 3!
And picture number 4!
Oh the joy!
You like? This hat was purchased a week after my Bar Mitzvah at Bencraft Hatters in Boro Park. That was in February 2000. It's now January 2009. This hat has seen me through a lot. And that's why I'm not giving it up without a fight.
------
Meanwhile, in other news, I was quite disappointed by the Kehos sale. Fine, you make a whole confusing system so that everyone is paying a lot more than in previous years. I understand, it's a bad economy. But to have come out with exactly one book I want in the last seven months?
What is wrong with these people? All I ask for is the opportunity to spend money, and this is how they treat me?

The first two pics look like your neck is in a very painful position...
It only lasted for a moment...
It's not the economy, it's just that like any good Zionists, they're supporting the war initiative.
I have to suffer because the entity is killing innocents? I'm joining Neturei Karta.
BS"D
TRS, that's not even funny.
You wouldn't like me in real life, eh?
farbrengen, at first i thought that position was in order to protect trs' identity, but then he gave a fairly clear shot of his face, so i guess not.
hmmm.... as for the hat itself...
little dusty, little crumpled, little little...
classic Chabad hat! we should put it in a museum... ;)
I can't wear it anymore?
well, i mean, if it's a museum... maybe on special occasions.
My head's a museum?
hey, you said it, not me!
Is there a way to twist this so I come out looking good...?
i'd make the effort if i were you... you never know who's reading this!
Nice.
Nice.
Also, very artsy.
Like I always say, you can take a picture of anything at a funny angle and call it artsy.
Cheerio: Let's just say that I misunderstood your comment.
LE7: Funny? It's artsy!
kudos on the face-save.
That's just the type of guy I am.
BS"D
Oh no, i think I would find you fasinating. I wouldn't read your blog otherwise.
Not with that type of response to a benign comment.
farbrengen - it would be incredibly entertaining to meet him in person, wouldn't it? or not meet him, but have the chance to surreptitiously observe him, in a tznua manner? nah, that's too much like stalking... maybe Endof should host a blogger convention, and then she can chaperone... ;)
Yes, I'm sure that would be fun, at least until the tznius police came and stoned us.
it'd be fun to get stoned ;)
we could have a group blog about it.
I would be down with that. But I would ruin my sterling reputation.
Cheerio: I didn't mean with alcohol.
And yes, we could.
LE7: Mine too.
Stoned isn't with alcohol! You become stoned with Mary Jane!
Sorry, my bad.
dude - proper terminology is important. you get stoned when you use drugs. you get drunk/trashed/smashed etc etc when you drink alcohol.
LE7 and TRS - HA!
What can I do, I'm a pure and innocent bochur.
Ha! what?
Reputations Ha!
You laugh, but on the inside I'm crying...
As if ;)
My reputation hurts from that "ha!"
maybe i was laughing at the idea that you guys are even important enough to have a reputation!
i mean, if i walked up to some dude in CH and said "hey, TRS is (insert name here)! And he talks to girls on the internet and pondered attending a coed blogging convention!", would he care?
(well, then again...)
Everyone has a reputation. How do you think shadchanim work exactly?
what shadchanim find doesn't count. because you really think people tell them the truth?
BS"D
Neturi Karta are so demented, that I can't even begin to imagine them in a joke. They're beyond humor and parody.
They're sick.
In any case, I still think i would find you fascinating in person. In person, I'm worlds apart from my online self...
Cheerio: A simple internet search will do more than any shadchan.
Fab Gal: I make jokes out of everything.
Yeah, I suppose I am a fascinating kind of guy, eh?
BS"D
Yes.
So...um...yeah...enough of this.
BS"D
You like attention but you can't handle a compliment.
Weird.
I love attention and compliments. But when the latter are coming from girls, I start getting scared.
farbrengen - you are awesome!
What am I, chopped liver?
BS"D
I'm sorry that I can't call you a fasinating person without you getting weirded out.
I say so without any intention of finding you fasinating as a husband. It's such an un-Shayich thought...
I find you fasinating as stam another human being who is a very interesting personality. That's it.
It's a no-strings-attached compliment.
BS"D
Ashira, why am i awesome???
In that case, I accept it gracefully.
Thank you.
Anyone who thinks I'm awesome must be awesome themselves, no?
farbrengen, you're awesome because you managed to scare TRS, something i didn't think was possible, by your sincerity.
Sincerity? Naivete is more like it.
BS"D
So, can we keep our blogging comments free of any marriage/relationship insinuations? It really makes things so messy and pointless. It it's funny l'mailah, but if it's just baseless...?
But, when did i call you awesome? I said a fascinating human being, where does awesome come into that???
BS"D
TRS, it wasn't naivite...
It was honesty that you took to a complete different insinuation....
If only...trust me, your mashpia wants you off the internet for a good reason.
I thought it was implied.
Maybe I'm just so naive that I thought...
BS"D
Or so full of yourself...
That's the kind of nice comment that could only end in an ellipsis, like this one will soon do...
BS"D
Quite true.
But all the same, as much as you're fasinating, don't take it too far.
Like off a bridge?
BS"D
Something like that.
BS"D
Random question:
How does a bochur learning for smicha know that "..." is called an ellipsis?
This bochur learning smicha has a brain under his hat. All right, so this bochur's brain is dysfunctional because he should have been asleep four hours ago, but that's neither here nor there.
Stupid question ...
If for no other reason, because E reminds us about punctuation all the time.
You know what they say, "there are no stupid questions".
BS"D
Using punctuation and defining it by its propper terminology are worlds apart.
And spelling is a third universe all on its own.
BS"D
What's the second universe? Terminology was only a different world, not a different universe? And in that case, what would be considered a different galaxy?
By me, world=universe.
BS"D
Scientifically
TRS's theory of world=universe+proper terminology of galaxy terminology= incorrect.
Say what? Since when did we work scientifically?
BS"D
I had to cover for LE7...
Now that is Ahavas Yisrael.
BS"D
So i'm not so bad afterall. Phew!
Who said you're bad? Just a few comments above you were accused of being awesome!
BS"D
Yes but on the fashion blog you insinuated otherwise.
According to each circumstance is the response.
I never claimed to believe, let alone endorse all the stuff I'm learning. I'm in it for the studying and upward mobility.
And the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?
Yeah why not. (The upward mobility part is legit though).
Also, I must ask, how does a hat get holes? Seriously?
the people wearing them get shot at?
Thank the one above that hasn't happened yet. Rather it's due to entropy and the effects of manhood on clothing.
And when is it getting criticized on chfashion?
a."the effects of manhood on clothing" - there really isn't anything i can say, is there?
b. one batch of fashion criticism coming right up!
A. No, I suppose there isn't.
B. I await with bated breath. Send me a link when you post please.
Now I kinda wish I had kept my first hat.
What were you thinking?
I figured its an old crumpled hat and its just taking up space in my room. I just took it to shul and left it on a table. I wonder where it is now...
You dumped it in shul? That's not very nice.
Bichlal, you should never throw anything out, you just never know if one day it could become an object d'art or at least pictured on a blog.
lol that was very entertaining!:)
but i did see a picture of a fisherman's hat that had three holes in it from the three times being hit by lightening while on his fishing boat
oh wow, fascinating lil conversation we have going here.
farbrengin is chanie now, right?
No it's someone else who got married.
chani didnt get married.
farbrengin got married?
Chanie is engaged. Farbrengen is married.
ok very nice. it just seemed like her, the style.
Altie- Chanie, as in me?
That must be a result of my email address.... :D
But then I'd be farbrengen----, no?
yes you. no i dont know why i thought that.
Hm, interesting. You probably thought that because of the writing style and my email address...don't worry, it's ok...
Hey, wait...this was in January...was I giving off the impression that I was engaged even then? Ha...
