Tin Foil Hat Contest ($30 in gift certificate prize)

I didn't see notice of this until Tuesday evening. I have one started and hope to finish it up tonight. If I get it done in time, I'll have my grandson model it for the picture. Now, when I look at him I still see a little chub of love dimpled baby boy. When others look at him, though, I have a hunch they see a hairy looking teenager half a foot taller than me who hasn't figured out that whole shaving thing yet. I guess cuteness is all in the eye of the beholder.

In the pix of my son you can see he has the same shaving problem, lol.

Well it was suggested in an earlier comment we couldnt/shouldnt use our cute kids, dogs or in my case sheep as models due to judging maybe persueded on the cuteness factor. So now I've got nothing but a tin foil hat with incoming coyote censors that shoots ninja stars while distrubuting sweet feed to the wearer while playing a tune "Baa Baa black sheep"... whats the point of me wearing it?

Ah, heck - show photos of hats on children and animals.

A 10 year old would not be swayed about another child as much as a mommy or daddy type person would.
No telling about the critters, though

Face it, if we don't use kids and animals there won't be many entries. NO way anyone is going to get a picture of me in a tin foil hat. That's the last thing I want to show up at MY sanity hearing, lol.

I agree with Angie, I doubt "cuteness" will sway a 10 yr old.

Luckily, you can't tell this is me!!

The first photo shows the hat front with full coverage on all sides and the necessary tools of destruction readily available - multi-tool and hair spray and matches to make a flame thrower. Also shows the obligatory eye shades with the flip up lens pieces.



The side view shows the wooden stakes (otherwise known as knitting needles) for hand-to-hand zombie combat.



The back view showing a shrunken zombie victim as a warning to others!

We're judging hats .. not anything else. Y'all quit trying to complicate stuff! I won't mention how I can be bribed with chocolate...

Cindy, that's hilarious!!! I thought maybe that was your "lookout" in the back until I read the caption. Ha!

And Little House.. that's awesome!!!

Don't forget to add description of your hats along with special powers er.. features.

I'm going to extend this contest one more week if that's ok with everyone? This is a lot of fun and definitely an "upper" to all the "downers" we're having to endure in the news! FINAL JUDGING WILL BE FRIDAY THE 1st. NO ENTRIES AFTER 12-NOON EST on FRIDAY the 1st. WINNER TO BE ANNOUNCED 8PM EST

Cool on the extension. I have a new hat design that may take some time.


I just realized that I need to get a life.

Thanks - I needed the extension, have to purchase materials this weekend (I don't have foil at home).

I don't either! It's just one of those things I don't that often and don't panic until I need it and realize I don't have it!! Seee.. and I'll bet you all thought I really wore one!

How on earth can any self respecting SE&P moderator NOT have foil?


Below is the toddler entry. Her hat has no special powers. Why? This young lady has bags under her eyes from a too short of a nap. There isn't an alien or zombie around that could win a battle against this little beasty.

The hat, in case it wasn't obvious, is a mad hatter. Not exactly original but it's to illustrate the point the we've all gone quite mad...mad I say...mua ha ha ha ha ha.

Hinton.. she totally has that "C'mon.. make my day" look about her here lol!

My daughter tried her hand at making a hat
