News, but not the serious kind

John Cougar Melonhead?

February 8, 2008

The fashion industry continues to design whimsical hats, as these models from the 2008/2009 Fall/Winter collection at New York Fashion Week show…

Gotcha! This isn’t really from a fashion collection, but I had you going, didn’t I? It’s not like you haven’t seen stranger stuff here before.

I for one would just love to have seen the brainstorming session that led to this party headgear. These dudes must have lost a very, very humiliating wager on Super Tuesday! Related postings: a melon-choly trip down memory lane:

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Melons!

The really, really wide world of sports!

Honeydew you wanna go to the melon festival?

It’s kind of like putting seashells over your ears to you hear the ocean except that they keep us from hearing our !#$@%$ wives.

Shawn, I don’t think those melons keep them from hearing their wives. I think they keep them from having wives.
