Ok, no I don't want you to take a look at my hootus to see if it's broken. What I need are some possible suggestions.

You see, a friend of mine has noted that my automotive ADD has me with 3 currently unfinished projects and looking for a truck. He recently made the comment that my most recent acquisiton, the mx6- will NEVER beat his ms3. (for the record, my ms3 is faster than his on paper, but the driver mod is HUGE here). The chosen venue is autox. I already have a fairly decent formula drawn up that will allow my car to beat his car (with a 3rd party unbiased driver behind the wheel) for what amounts to challenge money. He has said that if my mx6 EVER beats his ms3, he will eat his hat. Assuming he owned a hat. I then asked if he would accept donations towards owning a hat for consumption and he said "Yes, as long as it's not a giant berkeleying sombrero or something"

TLDR Version- Buddy of mine said he'd eat a hat if I ever built the mx6 to beat his ms3 at autox. What kinda hat can I feed him without killing him? Suggestions were made towards a suede beret of some sort, but I figure the suede chemicals might be bad for him. I'm currently thinking one of those straw cowboy hats, or perhaps a hipster loose beanie. Suggestions were also made for a rasta hemp beanie.... but i'm unsure of the dyes they use.

So what say you? What kinda hat do I feed my friend?

Here is one that might actually taste good. It is made out of dough.

^ what he said. Plus, we're talking about challenge budget beater vs. 25k lightly modified sports hatchback. I fully intend on running slicks.... if they fit the budget.

Neither. Quite a good guy actually, he's just calling me on one of my faults, and him eating a hat not originally designed to be food amuses me.

maybe a nice wool winter hat.. with a pompom on top.. make it out of hemp and it shouldn't hurt him too badly.. but will definatly give him his daily recommended intake of fibre

I believe The Doctor would recommend a Stetson.

Stetsons are cool.

I think it'll pass, but for now I think it's hard to get away with.

I hate it when nifty clothes get douchified. It makes me hate myself for noticing/worrying about it.

I don't have a pork pie, but I hardly ever wear my bowler...

I like suspenders. I wish that there wasn't an old person stigma about them (when not worn with a suit).

Just be a douche, and it will be a perfect fit.
