I'd settle for imitation beaver hide or the fur of some lesser creature. Conservatives, perhaps?

maybe.

"poach beavers" sounds like a scuzzy noise group.

In the 1800s when tophats were booming, beavers were almost poached to extinction. That's why it's illegal.

But, ahem, the beaver pelt trade actually began to dwindle for fashion reasons as silk hats came into vogue, and not because of the beaver's endangerment.

Did you know that the term for a made up word is "neologism"? I learned that from a link from the "Innovations in the 1990s" thread.

Why are all the good hat making animals so scarce?

schizophrenicroom 12.31.2008 12:05 AM

because they're good at their job!

Sonic Youth 37 12.31.2008 12:06 AM

Oh man, you'll probably pass me because I'll be retiring to my bed shortly.

StevOK 12.31.2008 12:06 AM

It'd be cool if they could genetically engineer hat shaped animals. Like a coon skin cap shaped raccoon.
