Wilson???

Wilson from next door to Dennis (the menace) Mitchell, perhaps!! Too funny, Serge!

And then I had to update my contemporary culture knowledge (slightly embarrassing since I was big into the scene as a younger person, but I'm beyond embarrassment now) by Googoo'ing "Fame" for pictures this morning. Thanks, Serge; I could have been a contender!! I wish.

So, I read the paper (especially the story in the lower part of the front page) under a 1940s Stetsonian, my celebratory hat.

The first game I've watch (some of it, anyway) this season. Fair weather watcher, I am!
That is a regal hat to celebrate an amazing win.

I was pulling for the Falcons. I love to see the underdog prevail and long downtrodden franchises make good. Like when the Rams and Saints made good years back...

By the end of the game, I accepted the fact that Tom Brady is, in my opinion, the best quarterback to ever play the game. And the entire Patriots organization... simply stellar.

Although I have long despised Brady (for irrational, visceral reasons [are there any other kinds, when it comes to a game?]), I chose my hat today in his and the Patriots' honor. I figure that the golden hue to the ribbon befits royalty.

He's the king. I humbly concede the point.

Congrats to all those buoyed by the win. And for those not too happy about it... Those Falcons are a force to be reckoned with. What a team!

Yeah, me too. I coulda been somebody instead of a bum.

I was thinking of this Wilson:

From the tv series Home Improvement. Your hats are way better by the way.

@mmbarnes, it does make it easier to deal with folks around these parts for the next few days...

Other than that, NO effect on my life whatsoever.

I hear you. Games be games... life be life. Though I must confess that I always enjoyed the contact buzz from the mass regional happiness back when I lived in DC and the Redskins were a powerhouse.

Funny how the results of a game can make folks nicer for a while. That seems kind of sad to me too in a way...

That's it for my off-topic blathering (I'll blather about something else off-topic later). ;)

Be well and enjoy.

Thank you, Serge!! I was just showing my advanced AGE.
There were several versions of the beleaguered Mr. Wilson in the various cartoon, TV, and movie versions of one of my favorite characters, Dennis The Menace. If you've known any boys at about 5 years of age, they're a Dennis...

Some Mr. Wilsons (couldn't find one with a hat, but I remember him wearing one).

Mmmmmmm, The Stockyards, steak....I've got to get back to Ft. Worth.

Great Stetson!

Same here. I'm jonesing from missing my yearly trek there this year. Love that town.

On this merry Monday, I'm going with one of the Vita-Felt homburgs.

A happy day to all!

And because you sport a Hommie with the best of 'em, Matt. Happy Monday!

So, I read the paper (especially the story in the lower part of the front page) under a 1940s Stetsonian, my celebratory hat.

The first game I've watch (some of it, anyway) this season. Fair weather watcher, I am!

I caught the last eight minutes of regular time, but repaired to my chambers and didn't stick around for overtime. Good game, though. Better than some of the snooze-fests they call Super Bowls.

With the temperature heading to 80F today, time for my Peters Bros Milan


Cheers!
David

I'm looking forward to the Spring day I can dig mine back out. I love mine (and yours ain't too shabby, either!).

I hear you. Games be games... life be life. Though I must confess that I always enjoyed the contact buzz from the mass regional happiness back when I lived in DC and the Redskins were a powerhouse.
