The Hat and The Hair 47: Episode 46

“I really thought the Iran War would be more fun,” the hat said. Donald grumbled as he pissed in the ficus behind the Resolute desk.

“How is that thing even still alive?” the hair asked the hat.

“Iran? I dunno.”

“The ficus, stupid,” the hair said.

“I’m not stupid, your stupid,” the hat shot back.

“You’re,” the hair said archly. “It’s spelled Y-O-U-R-apostrophe-R-E.”

“What?” the hair said, bill in a grimace. Donald still wasn’t finished. He is a large man with a large tank.

“You spelled it Y-O-U-R.”

“Grammar gay fag gay,” the hat spat.

“The construction of the sentence is horrible.”

“Dear God in Heaven, Donald,” the hat asked, “aren’t you done yet?”

“It just keeps going,” the hair said, impressed despite himself.

“How many Diet Cokes has he had in the last 24 hours?” the hat asked.

“39.”

“Donald…”

“I was playing golf,” Donald said, the stream of urine finally faltering.

“No, you weren’t,” the hair said.

“I was thinking about playing golf!”

“You should be thinking about making the Iran War more entertaining,” the hat said, lowering his voice a few octaves, tapping his bill on the desk.

“This again,” the hair said tiredly.

“Where are the explosions?” the hat asked. “Where are the bombsight videos of guided missiles? Oil fields burning?”

“I know, I know,” Donald said, zipping up and sitting down.

“Have you even double-tapped a wedding with a drone?” the hat asked in a wail of need.

“Kash is here!” Kash said, stumbling into The Oval Office, a half-depleted six pack of Natty Light swinging to-and-fro from one finger in an empty ring.

“Nope,” the hat and Donald and the hair said in unison.

“We’re not doing funny drunk this season,” the hair said coldly.

“OUT! GET OUT!” the hat screamed, as Kash shambled away.

    There you go again, SF.

    I feel like I’m looking at something that I should avoid but yet…

        Sorry, but you’re not attractive.

      • Evan from Evansville

        You misspelled “persistent odor.”

    “Kash is here!” Kash said, stumbling into The Oval Office, a half-depleted six pack of Natty Light swinging to-and-fro from one finger in an empty ring.

    This is too tame.

    • Threedoor

      He can hear them when drunk.

      • Not Adahn

        Yeah, I’d assume that elevated states of consciousness would enable that.

      • Threedoor

        Aren’t the Dot Indians always in an elevated status?

    • Tonio

      Kash may not have even heard the hat. Not everyone can hear the Hat and Hair. And there is no rhyme or reason as to who can or can’t; Barron can’t hear them, which suggests it’s not genetic.

      • Threedoor

        Barron is the product of a Nephilim or parthenogenesis.

        The Donald had nothing to do with that child.

    Funny drunks are always in season, same as well-intentioned bumblers.

    • Bobarian LMD

      That’s how it’s spelled, but it’s pronounced “yinz”.

  5. Not Adahn

    “I really thought the Iran War would be more fun,” the hat said.

    One of the great opening lines.

  6. Not Adahn

    Does human urine actually bother plants? I’d have thought there’s be some benefit from the nitrogen in urea.

    • UnCivilServant

      It depends on the plant. They have a wide range of conditions they prefer to live under.

      • Not Adahn

        AI sez:

        Fertilize ficus trees (like Fiddle Leaf or Weeping Fig) monthly during the active growing season—spring through early fall—using a balanced liquid fertilizer (such as 10-10-10 or 20-20-20) or a 3:1:2 NPK ratio formula. Apply diluted fertilizer to moist soil every 2-4 weeks, but stop feeding entirely in winter to avoid burning roots.

        Key Fertilization Needs
        Optimal NPK Ratio: A ratio favoring higher nitrogen (such as 3:1:2) is ideal for encouraging lush foliage, though balanced options like 10-10-10 or 16-16-16 work well for overall health.
        Best Time: March through October is the primary growing season. Do not fertilize in late fall or winter when the plant is dormant.

      • Not Adahn

        We live in an era of wonders, when such an idle htought can be answered:

        Human urine is a nutrient-rich, fast-acting fertilizer with an approximate average NPK ratio of 11:2:4. It is particularly high in nitrogen (as urea), making it excellent for leafy greens. It is commonly diluted at 1:10 (urine:water) for general garden use or 1:20 for sensitive plants.
        Lowimpact.org
        Lowimpact.org

        NPK Breakdown and Key Facts
        Average Ratio: Often cited as 11:1:2 or 11:2:4.
        Composition: Fresh urine is generally safe, sterile, and contains Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K).
        Nutrient Density: Approximately 0.6% Nitrogen, 0.05% Phosphorus, and 0.15% Potassium by volume.
        Usage Examples:
        Direct Application: One part urine to 10 parts water for garden beds.
        Potted Plants: A weaker dilution of 1:20 is recommended.
        Compost Accelerator: Undiluted urine can be poured onto compost to speed up breakdown.
        Synonyms/Related Terms: Liquid gold, “humanure” component, urea fertilizer, organic liquid fertilizer.
        Lowimpact.org
        Lowimpact.org

        Key Considerations
        Dietary Impact: Higher protein diets increase the nitrogen concentration in urine.
        Storage: If not used immediately, it can be stored, but urea will convert to ammonia, significantly increasing the smell.
        Caution: Avoid over-application, as high salt levels in urine can harm plants.

    • Furthest Blue pistoffnick (370HSSV)

      Does human urine actually bother plants?

      The brown grass within range of my deck would suggest that it is not good for plants.

      • Not Adahn

        When I was a we child my science fair project was about the scourge of those times — Acid Rain.

        It turns out that until you drop below pH 4, the nitric acid actually improves plant growth.

        (Acid rain is a mix of nitric/sulfuric acids. Rain naturally contains carbonic acid as does literally any water that has been exposed to the air.)

      • slumbrew

        Yeah, but that’s like half aquavit I assume.

      • Furthest Blue pistoffnick (370HSSV)

        I should make some more aquavit. I remember that last batch being really good.

    • EvilSheldon

      Depends on how much of a perv the plant is. I bet some of those ficus plants are *really* into it. Jade Plants and Umbrella Plants, probably not so much.

  7. Tonio

    “You’re,” the hair said archly. “It’s spelled Y-O-U-R-apostrophe-R-E.”

    Fourth Wall broken. This raises all kinds of questions, and is subtly disturbing.

    • Not Adahn

      I was going to comment on that, but it occurred to me that the words (in my dialect) are also pronounced differently.

      • Tonio

        Oh, I didn’t consider that. Yeah, they are for me, too.

      • Threedoor

        Your dialect is not American?

      • juris imprudent

        You know, I was never so disturbed as years ago in Canada when somebody identified me as Californian because of my accent.

      • Not Adahn

        I’m whichever one fails the Mary/marry distinction but keeps “merry” unique.

      • Threedoor

        I’m the Mary/marry merry too.

        West coast.

      • Threedoor

        There, their, and they’re are all pronounced the same in my mouth and mind.

      • rhywun

        I do not distinguish your/you’re or Mary/merry/marry at all.

        Upstate/western NY

      • Not Adahn

        For me, “they’re” has two syllables, as does “you’re.”

      • Not Adahn

        NYers do that weird (to me) glottal stop where they swallow the “tt” in button.

      • rhywun

        NYers do that weird (to me) glottal stop where they swallow the “tt” in button.

        I thought all Americans did that.

      • Not Adahn

        My dialect puts both t’s in there.

        But – ton

      • kinnath

        Midwesterner here.

        Merry is said very quickly — Meh Ry in two short syllables.

        Mary is said quite slowly — Mare Rhee in two long syllables.

        Marry sits in between.

        The vowels themselves sound pretty much the same.

        So: Will Mary marry me? We’d be so merry together. The three words sound slightly different.

        Be we don’t get dramatic differences in vowel sounds.

        Your is a fast one syllable — Yor

        You’re is a truncated two syllables — You Er

        Vowels sounds stay mostly the same again.

      • Threedoor

        The NE people add extra Rs.
        Southerners pluralize things that are not nouns.
        Kansas/okies can’t saw wash or Washington without sounding retarded.

      “He can hear the spelling!”

      • rhywun

        I too was unsettled by this revelation.

    • EvilSheldon

      Fistbump for the use of ‘arch.’ That word came up in last Sunday’s game of Connections with the parents, and neither of them had ever heard it used that way before.

  8. The Late P Brooks

    Rigged?

    “I mean, I think everyone loses for that,” Fetterman told host Chris Cuomo when informed that Democrats were projected to win approval of an aggressively gerrymandered congressional map in Tuesday’s election.

    Fetterman pointed out that the Democratic push to redraw congressional boundaries in Virginia to pick up more House seats in the midterm elections came in response to a Republican effort to aggressively redraw district lines in Texas. But he said the tit for tat still isn’t good for the country.

    “I understand this was all that started after Texas decided to kind of do the same thing. I mean, I get the logic to do the things, but overall, we all lose at this point,” he said, arguing that two wrongs don’t make a right.

    “The wrong thing doesn’t make it the right thing, but that’s where we are. And if we continue to just attack the other side, whether it’s a red state or whether it’s a blue state, our democracy is degraded,” he warned.

    What a sissy.

    • Evan from Evansville

      I would be pleasantly surprised if New Fetterman’s anti-Dem push lasts until ’28. He is (now) vocally against their platform and is making sense. I don’t believe the DNC will allow that to continue.

      Curious, curious.

      • juris imprudent

        He will be primaried. Whether that will be successful is an open question.

      • R C Dean

        Fetterman is just playacting the rogue politico. Every vote that matters, he votes the Dem party line.

    • EvilSheldon

      At this point, I don’t even care. Anything that keeps democrats out of office, I’m in favor of.

      • rhywun

        This. They are a clear and present danger to the country, Fetterman’s lump notwithstanding.

    • Threedoor

      It’s the Lump talking.

      • Bobarian LMD

        If we could cut the tumor off, I’d vote for it.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      California has been gerrymandered for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid our conservative suburbs were cut up and represented by crazy liberals from Oakland and Berkeley. We had the socialist Ron Dellums as our Congressman.

      • juris imprudent

        You never had it so good! It’s your own fault if you don’t realize that.

    • bacon-magic

      Fetterman and the Lump™ need to make an appearance.

  9. Brochettaward

    I got kicked out of antifa. Attacking command economies controlled by Top Men was a bridge too far.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      Did you call them Top Men? Maybe the problem was assuming gender.

    • EvilSheldon

      Antifa defending actual fascism? You don’t fucking say…

      Facebook Antifa, right? There’s always Twixter Antifa! Or even Unicorn Riot if you’re really brave.

      • Threedoor

        Unicorn riot?

        Tell me more.

      • Not Adahn

        They are totally no in any way shape or form associated with antifa. They’re just such brave honest truth tellers that antifa uses them to release statements, ’cause they know UR won’t make misleading edits to their words.

      • Not Adahn

        Seriously though:

        https://unicornriot.ninja/2026/why-was-the-prairieland-jury-persuaded-to-convict-given-the-governments-weak-case/

        Even the alleged shooting of Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross, a focus of the government’s case, is draped in mystique. The medical records for Lt. Gross, which would have shed light on his injury, have never been disclosed. Testimony from Lt. Gross on cross-examination revealed that his alleged injury may have been caused by a ricocheted bullet from suppressive shots fired at the ground after Lt. Gross was seen pointing his gun at the backs of departing protesters, just seconds after he arrived on the scene.

        In other words, Song could have been trying to de-escalate a tense situation and prevent police from shooting protesters, but the government, and ultimately Judge Pittman, blocked Song from using such a defense at trial.

      • Threedoor

        .ninja is a new one for me too.

    • Aloysious

      Those twunts in antifa don’t like merit, which a Firster brings like a Valkyrie collecting souls of fallen warriors.

  10. The Late P Brooks

    I’m thinking of a word…

    Competing with China in the global energy transition will require deeper collaboration with allies and partners. No single country can match the scale and speed of China’s deployment alone. But through coordinated investment, shared standards, joint financing mechanisms and technology partnerships, the U.S. and its partners can build a credible and competitive alternative.

    Government, business, academia, working in partnership to build a better world. Bound together for strength.

    • rhywun

      OFFS. They’re not doing it for the benefit of Gaia you fucking morons.

    • Ownbestenemy

      These are the subtle things that keep this place fresh

  11. juris imprudent

    Bwahahahaha – Chelsea fire coach they hired mid-season (and gave a 5 and half year contract). They are of course keeping all of the players that are failing miserably.

    • Raven Nation

      It’s really amazing. I’ll take the job on the same terms at 5% of the salary.

      The Price of Football had a episode that covered the amount of money teams like Chelsea and Man Utd were paying to people no longer managing the clubs. It was pretty stunning.

      At one point Spurs were paying Postecouglu,Frank, Tudor, and Di Zerbi.

      • juris imprudent

        I was wondering about that – if the coach’s salary is guaranteed like the players. I kinda assumed it wasn’t. What an amazing amount of stupid money in the business.

        EPL must have Gordon Ramsey in charge of accounting, with the way the books are being cooked.

      • Raven Nation

        I think it works like the NFL: they get the salary through the original contract or until they take another job, whichever comes first. But I think the first club has to “top up” the salary if the new club isn’t paying the same (which almost certainly happened to Spurs when Ange took the Forest job). Of course, conditions can be written into contracts as well.

      • Evan from Evansville

        “Postecouglu,Frank, Tudor, and Di Zerbi” sound like severe, dangerous people.

    • rhywun

      they hired mid-season

      Didn’t know that. He did have a kind of deer-in-the-headlights look yesterday, as his team was flaming out for the what was it, sixth game in a row?

      • Raven Nation

        So, I think they’re paying Maresca and Roesnior + whomever they appoint for next season. PLUS for financial year 2024-25 they lost about $350m.

  12. The Late P Brooks

    Hail, Nanny!

    A bill banning anyone born after 2008 from buying tobacco in the UK has completed its progress through parliament in a move that ministers hope will create a “smoke-free generation”.

    Under the tobacco and vapes bill anyone born on or after 1 January 2009 will never be able to be legally sold tobacco across the UK, in an effort to save lives and reduce the burden on the NHS.

    The bill will become legislation when it receives royal assent next week. Its long journey through both houses of parliament began when it was introduced on 5 November 2024 and ended on Tuesday, when the House of Lords approved amendments made by MPs in House of Commons.

    Ministers hope it will end the sale of tobacco products altogether over time and break the cycle of addiction and the disadvantages associated with tobacco.

    ——-

    “Children in the UK will be part of the first smoke-free generation, protected from a lifetime of addiction and harm.

    “Prevention is better than cure. This reform will save lives, ease pressure on the NHS, and build a healthier Britain.”

    The addiction fairy waved her magic wand, and all was well.

    • rhywun

      You’re next, alcohol.

      • Not Adahn

        Even in1984, they didn’t try to ban alcohol.

      • rhywun

        Yeah, Orwell didn’t see far enough ahead. He got the two-minutes hate, right – if not the target.

      • Not Adahn

        I dunno, Goldstein would make a very acceptable target currently.

      • rhywun

        I was thinking more they hate themselves, their country, “the English”.

      • Not Adahn

        True. He didn’t see the demographic shift.

        But he did foresee the elimination of “English” as an acceptable identity! They’re all Oceanians residing on Airstrip One. He did screw up by keeping “Ingsoc” tho.

    • EvilSheldon

      I quit smoking almost twenty years ago, and I still occasionally miss them. If this shit keeps up, I may take up the habit again for FYTW reasons.

    • Threedoor

      We need to set up a reservation in the UK to sell cigs and booze.

      • Threedoor

        As natives of the UK many of us have right of return…

        And pot will be encouraged.

      A bill banning anyone born after 2008 from swimming in a pool in the UK has completed its progress through parliament in a move that ministers hope will create a “drowning-free generation”.

      Under the swimming pool bill anyone born on or after 1 January 2009 will never be able to be legally swim across the UK, in an effort to save lives and reduce the burden on the NHS.

    • Evan from Evansville

      And all that (rightful) fear of the dangers of smoking!… they’ll never get rid of it. FAR more focused on the $Tax$ it brings in. Gotta get their cut.

      I’m pissed folk don’t see (or recognize) how, beyond *anything* else, The State only cares about your wallet. (Fuck your rights.)

      • Threedoor

        See, no
        Smoking.

  13. The Late P Brooks

    “This is a decisive turning point for public health. The end of smoking, and the devastating harm it causes, is no longer uncertain – it’s inevitable. And the focus now is on how soon we get there,” said Hazel Cheeseman, the chief executive of Action on Smoking and Health.

    “Over the past half-century, smoking has claimed millions of lives across the UK, leaving a legacy of preventable pain and loss. Ending its harm is a lasting gift to generations ahead and families everywhere can now feel secure that their children can grow up free from the harm of tobacco.”

    Sarah Sleet, the chief executive of Asthma and Lung UK, said: “This landmark piece of legislation will transform the nation’s health. A smoke-free future means the tobacco industry will no longer be able to wreak havoc on the lungs of the next generation.”

    If only someone had told people smoking was bad for them, those predatory thugs at Philip Morris would never have been able to sell their poisons.

    • Threedoor

      Smokers die earlier than their non smoking cohort, the pay more taxes and die earlier. They cost less in healthcare costs while subsidizing the healthcare for the longer lived geriatrics in end of life care.

    • Fourscore

      “Over the past half-century, smoking has claimed millions of lives across the UK”

      The other millions succumbed to accidents, other diseases and the calendar. Smoking has not claimed millions of these others. Natural and unnatural causes are a bitch.

        Back in WW2 days my older brothers and I played War, sometime Europe, sometimes Asia. As the youngest I always got stuck being a Kraut/Heinie

        or a Nip. I always ended up losing too. ‘Course I had the crappy equipment, a broken pistol or a stick for a rifle. It’s no wonder I lost.

      • Threedoor

        As a jap you were small
        Too. Those big American GIs had an advantage.

  14. R C Dean

    Interesting. Apparently, the SPLC wasn’t really indicted by a grand jury for “paying informants”.

    It was indicted for laundering those payments through fake business bank accounts, which it set up by lying to the banks in the account applications. It apparently even admitted to this when one bank caught on.

    Lying to banks to set up accounts is a federal crime.

    • Rat on a train

      That doesn’t work for the narrative.

    • Not Adahn

      Yes, that’s what NPR said this morning.

      Which is why I assumed that and Federal case would be dead-bang simple. Any prosecutor can find something to charge you with banking-wise.

      • Rat on a train

        My ATM withdrawals are routinely under $10,000 …

      • Not Adahn

        Lookie Mr. Structuring over here!

    • R C Dean

      I should say, the SPLC wasn’t indicted only for paying informants, etc. That was a separate fraud count, where they tell their donors they are going after those nasty racists while paying them under the table, etc. It will be interesting to see what the SPLC wanted/got from the racists it was paying, of course. One wonders whether the recipients knew they were informants at all.

      • Not Adahn

        Probably the guy who was paid $1MM to steal and copy documents did. If he actually exists, of course.

    • Threedoor

      My rep is OKish.
      Don’t like the other rep from my state or either of the senators, democrat lite with an R in front of them.

    • slumbrew

      Mine are, of course, terrible beyond belief.
