That's what happens when you wear tinfoil armor to a joust!

Hat #1 is made for children as well as lawn gnomes. The conical shape allows space for developing thought waves while still giving protection from aliens. This hat is also capable of deflecting zombies due to sheer cuteness. Other interesting information; my 2 year old has been running around the house wearing my entries all morning. *sigh*
Hat #2 is the teen version with ultra cool solar death ray glasses. No more blindness when confronted with nerds or aliens equipped with laser guns. The antennae add reception for radio stations as well as interpreting alien dialects…just in case they are friendly. This hat also has a side job for a semi-retired superhero “ant man”. Caution; this hat has been linked to headache, itching, nausea, back pain and diarrhea.

I very disappointed. . .I thought this forum was for the discussion of serious survival topics and you guys are making light of a very, VERY important piece of survival equipment. What's next joking about tin foil undies?
FYI, I can't wait to see more pics

I have a design in mind, but may not get to make it until Friday evening. I'll have to use some space blanket/mylar or such for some trim I have in mind.

Hoover the dog has an entry. He thinks we are all off our rockers with the tin foil hats keeping away the goobermint, aliens and zombies. His hat has a much more important function.....keeping the thoughts of that darn cat out of his mind. Hoover has hit his limit of hearing that cat talk about his all night escapades, how he stalked that crazy chipmunk, grabbed that silly robin right out of the air, and goaded that crazy anti-social dog down the street into tying himself up around a tree (of which he could not figure out how to un-tangle himself - even Hoover likes that part of the story).
But since he has been living with 2 full size preper and 2 mini versions he has finally given into peer pressure. Just last week he went ahead and added a satellite to the top so he can get a direct link to Michael Bane's pod-casts (from Down Range TV).

Daughter's entry:
My hat has bird power and flower power. The flower has a laser in it to kill satellites. The bird feather's job is to turn make any bad person become bird-brained.

Son's entry
My hat has only one eye exposed to protect me from the mind control aliens. As all space cadets know they need to look into both eyes to get control of you. My mouth piece allows me to broadcast propaganda to undermine those in authority (excluding mom and dad - because they won't let me)

At the risk of offending anyone (and I really don't mean to), might I recommend the hats be displayed on something other than cute kids, dogs (and I'm sure in the future) goats? Otherwise the voting will be skewed towards which model looks the cutest. Perhaps put it on a balloon or wig dummy? That way the hat will be judged and not the person/animal wearing it.
I've got a fabulous hat in the works, but I'd rather the hat be judged not the kid I might have to rent to model it.

Yes! I may extend the entry time, if no one is opposed.. so maybe more folks on HT can catch wind of this.
