PeterPirate May 31, 2014 Share May 31, 2014 Carl's hat seems to be able to survive more than anyone or anything else on the show. Look a horse! Oh, never mind. I see a helicopter! Whoops. Dale! Zombies! Oh, I guess he's deaf AND blind. The hat has survived the apocalypse. It's survived an explosion, seeing his mother die and his shooting her, so you guys tell me. What else can Carl's hat do? What else will it survive? 4 Link to comment
JBody June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 Carl's Hat didn't know what to think. The Python was taking a dirt nap outside the compound (with a Colt Commander, two Uzis, a Remington shotgun and a Bowtech bow*). How convenient... Katana and Crossbow were also seething at this turn of events. What to do, what to do... Maybe it could sneak out the slighty opened door where Python's owner was mumbling over and over “thays gone feel purt stoopid when thay find out thays a’screwin with the rong people” and go wake those lazy bastard guns. Maybe it would get filled with holes like swiss cheese by those shots with the infinite ammo cheat outside; maybe it'd be grilled up on the bbq alonside rack of human; maybe it'd be confiscated like Pocket Watch, Ugly Poncho and Riot Gear but HELL, come on now, it wasn't a half bad plan, come to think of it. Any outcome would be better than stuck in a metal boxcar with a dozen stinking humans in a Georgia summer........*AMC Story Sync 7 Link to comment
CletusMusashi July 1, 2014 Share July 1, 2014 You know, this thread re-emerging doesn't surprise me as much as it should. If anything can possibly survive the nuking of TWOP, it's Carl's Hat. 7 Link to comment

Boofish July 29, 2014 Share July 29, 2014 People risked their lives for that hat - Rick (in the alley) Glen (in the street getting the guns). I think it gives Carl magical powers, every time he tips the hat, an angel gets its wings. When he was mad at Rick for the 19,383,732nd time, he dropped that badge but he didn't give up that hat. I would like to see the people of Terminus try and take that hat. That's when hell will reign down on The Arm and a Leg Cafe' 4 Link to comment
CletusMusashi July 30, 2014 Share July 30, 2014 (edited) I've actually been wondering lately whether or not The Hat bestows immortality. I mean, seriously, how else do you explain Carl still being alive? Edited July 30, 2014 by CletusMusashi 1 Link to comment

That is a really good question. I'm leaning toward yes, if only because Beth also wore The Hat and is (as far as we know) still alive. 3 Link to comment
PeterPirate October 14, 2014 Author Share October 14, 2014 Katana was unhappy at being left behind by the human with the muddy face. It understood why Crossbow was saved. Crossbow was a fan favorite, after all. Crossbow had killed many enemies of the humans, living and dead. But why was Wristwatch saved too? What had it done to deserve that? Nothing, nothing! Even worse still, it looked like Katana was about to be replaced by upstart Makeshift Double Blade. To console itself, Katana recalled the time when the human with the long braids rescued it from Woodbury. "She will come back for me again", it told itself. 9 Link to comment

Rosiejuliemom October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 While Crossbow and Wristwatch were indeed rescued, the spotlight temporarily shifted to some new players. Guts Poncho was instrumental in taking down the Termites, as were Makeshift Double Blade and Sock Shank. Even Hershel's Pocket Watch got to help prepare the others for glorious battle. Colt Python used his status as leader of the guns to soothe the other weapons' rage at being left behind. Red Machete is now lusting for hipster blood, though it is not quite sure why. Hat remains firmly affixed to The Boy's head. No amount of wishing or gum-popping can dislodge it. Sadly, the whereabouts of Katana, Poncho, Sasha's Ugly Sweater, and Orange Backpack are currently unknown. 8 Link to comment
NurseGiGi October 14, 2014 Share October 14, 2014 Katana, you have to be saved! I will pay your ransom, as long as it's not more than $17 since that's all I have in my wallet. The Termites give new meaning to the phrase "that katana cost me an arm and a leg!". 2 Link to comment

kikismom October 17, 2014 Share October 17, 2014 Carl's Hat knew it had the magical ability to shape-shift; it could even make it's wearer mutate. (Or mutant; Carl's Hat got them confused.) But there was an inspiring effort to adapt by this rag-tag bunch of fighters. (Carl's Hat almost said guerillas; but he'd got confused about that one time and thought-wave-rallied gorillas and it was a hot mess.) Zipper was the only wild-card. It hadn't faced any action with strangers in a long time, just the touch of It's Master's Hand. Would it's teeth still be sharp? (one time they sure were and that was a hot mess but that's for another conversation.) Rosita's Belt Buckle gave Carl's Hat confidence. It had been through a lot of sudden clashes, a veteran. As were the now-sharpened wires of Rosita's Hoop Earrings. Both of them had modestly volunteered to serve the forces of Good, then return to their quiet lives of providing a place for Rosita to rest her feet. Carl's Hat heard the growling noises of Zipper. Yes, it was time to unzip hell. 9 Link to comment

kikismom October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 (edited) Carl's Hat wondered how things could go so wrong! Then so right! Then so wrong again! First it was that shit at the church, the mysterious new character Communion Wine. Carl's Hat, Crossbow, Katana Sheath all stared in suspicion---who the hell is this? They expected Ernest And Julio Gallo For Wal-Mart Gallon Jug but this fakakta vine-yard label just wasn't right for 3 years into the ZA! We in Fancyland now! grumbled Carl's Hat until Rick's Watch said I get it, yeah I get it! until Katana Sheath told them to break it up. Then Rick's Watch said I'm goin' back where I belong and so should you and Carol's Watch said I ain't nobody's bitch and Rick's Watch Yes you are and Carol's Watch said Am not until Katana Sheath told them to break it up. Then Carl's Nuts said to Watch Chain what are you laughin' at? You're busted! The only thing broken about this group is you! and Watch Chain said Oh hell no the only missing link in this group is the human with the mullet and Carl's Nuts said Eat me! and Watch Chain said Someday, somebody will and Katana Sheath told Carl's Nuts to leave the group. Then they discovered a mob of Little Religious Coloring Book Pictures all raising Cain in their little high-pitched voices. Most of them were repeating each other and Carl's Hat could only pick out something about 40 days wandering with a burning bush and Katana Sheath's friend Too Tight Pants was saying I get it , yeah I get it until Carl's Hat got embarrassed and asked them to stop and they said You should know---you've been felt for years and they laughed and Carl's Hat went outside. But it knew that damn Communion Wine was the troublemaker, and as the night fell dark Carl's Hat wished Carl's Nuts were still close. Edited October 22, 2014 by kikismom 2 Link to comment

kikismom October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 (edited) Carl's Hat fumed. But we can still help the humans, it protested bravely. We don't have to be afraid anymore. Well, maybe Clerical Collar does. It sure keeps Red-Handled Machete on edge. By the way, when are you going to explain why everyone thinks it's funny when your bush is burning? Colt Python sighed. It tilted forward and cocked it's hammer to one side to show it was about to say something important. Focus! It only takes one second! No matter how many others are around, you are not safe! Cart's Hat brightened as though a light bulb had gone on inside it's crown. Oh wow! You mean the way The Mullet winked at me when it's missing-link wearer refilled my glass of wine and said 'Feelin' better, Violet?' What did that mean, anyway? Colt Python sighed again. Never mind. Later. Right now I gotta take care of somebody's stuff...and thangs. Edited October 22, 2014 by kikismom 3 Link to comment

Colt Grimes has a couple of counterarguments for Gareth, and one of those counterarguments blows a couple of Gareth's fingers clean off. Yes, it was the old double-cross: The Grimes Gang only wanted the cannibals to think they were attacking their base. Edited October 28, 2014 by editorgrrl 2 Link to comment

Pete Martell November 3, 2014 Share November 3, 2014 Lollipop Jar, on behalf of the Lollipop Guild, wants to make it clear and official that it does not condone use of its contents by creepy rapist pigs. Shards of Lollipop Jar doused themselves in his blood in the name of true justice. Syringe also doesn't appreciate being used in wicked schemes against the innocent. Sheet Rope has no idea why that guy had such a hard time holding onto it after those many, many laundry sessions should have made him familiar with its grip, but it did its best to help. It appreciates that no one made any "Oh sheeet!!!" jokes as they fell to the ground. 6 Link to comment

Pete Martell November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 (edited) Bus had lived a good long life. It had survived many traumas, including two Hootie and the Blowfish tours, a Welk reunion concert where Ana Cani and one of the Lennon Sisters spilled their Sprites on its last good seat and never bothered to clean up afterward, and that last Lilith Fair no one really wanted to talk about. The idea of days or weeks of mustache man poking at its radiator and the mullet mutterer counting each and every seat, giving each seat random "scientific" names, then counting the seats again - Bus lost the will to live. The last straw was when Kaptain Kool Aid leered at his long-suffering lady love, telling her they were going to christen every seat. No. Never. The old pastor who always asked the mayor's wife to help him "tune his organ" was mind-scarring enough. Bus had to go. Mullet mumbler had put some crap in Bus to try to leave it at the church, but no go. Bus was stronger than that. Bus was going to go out with a bang. The other people weren't so bad, and it really hadn't meant to "flame on" when that tranquilized lady who stared at the cute, non-annoying guy a lot tried to step back on, but Bus loved a dramatic exit. Who didn't? Peace and tranquility for always. Some roaming walkers too, but if Bus was being honest, the only real difference between walkers and people was better skin care. And it couldn't really hold that against people. As the charred radio's last hand claps of "Calcutta" played in time with the dying sun, Bus thought of that clumsy lady who kept apologizing to it every time she bumped against a seat. It hoped she'd make it. Edited November 12, 2014 by Pete Martell 7 Link to comment

PeterPirate November 17, 2014 Author Share November 17, 2014 Modern Art was happy that the female human appreciated its message. But it really marveled at the male human's ability to discern that it had been created by dipping a dog in paint and dragging its ass along a canvas. Unfortunately, unlike Crossbow and Wristwatch, it was left behind. So there it hangs, like a gym sock on a shower rod. Bookshelf continues the tradition of causing trouble for black male humans. But the real star of this episode was Van, whose cat-like reflexes enabled it to fall nose first and yet land on its tires. (By the way, I cribbed "gym sock on a shower rod" and "cat-like reflexes" from The West Wing, my all-time favorite show. Along those lines, my original post for this thread was copy&pasted from KirkB's post from this site's predecessor. Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright.) 6 Link to comment

BrokenRemote November 26, 2014 Share November 26, 2014 I think in this thread, as long as it has something interesting to say.... maybe it has a sibling rivalry going with Tyreese's toque? Thanks. That has me thinking--what is he hiding under that toque? We've seen his un-betoqued head a time or two, but maybe the actor was given a choice between bad wig and bad hat, and made a desperate decision... (It is a shame Sasha has that wig, because Sonequa has gorgeous hair from what I've seen.) Sasha's Wig is obviously the boss of the family, what with detatching itself from her head at night and going on rampages (which explains why it's often fitted so badly--due to its hurried flight back to Sasha's head when it's about to be caught--and why it's so rough-looking.) Tyrese and Tyrese's Toque obviously live in fear of Sasha's Wig, having seen first-hand the results of its sprees, and this is why they are both pacifists. 2 Link to comment
