Welcome Comrade B.F. Hat! Hat size matters!

Generally we have limits on hat sizes to avoid envy of the collective, but this one looks so monumental that I just don't have the heart to cut you down to size. I just hope this will not bring forth hat envy among the comrades. We fought off a bad case of viral hat envy a few months ago, when Commissarka Pinkie stated her preference for men in red hats. This one could very well steal her heart, causing her to replace the picture of Brad Pitt with yours. I'm talking, of course, about the picture she has glued to the business end of her shovel.

It is UNFAIR to blatantly sport a hat of such proportion when there are others with no hats at all.

User avatar
I saved all my past hats and fashioned them together with dental floss (which I waited on line for 3 hours to get, thinking it was cheese.)
Is my forward thinking not encouraged?

In retrospect I am thankful it was dental floss. I was prepared to wear the giant cheese wheel on my head (so cold, it is sooo cold) but I probably would have been mistaken for a green Bay Packer's fan and sent to, the colder still, Siberia.

Oh? Did the "doctors" at the Karl Marx Re-Education Center fail to check your vision? Not to worry comrade Irony Curtain, I have issued orders for you to go through the intake line again so that we can ensure you are "taken care of" properly. Welcome to the collective.... it's a good day to shovel comrade!

And here I thought that I had a large hat. Well, that's OK, I still have a bigger gun...

Mikhail,
That is one formidable hat, fiercely starched, impressively powerful, intense and if lined with the tin foil is capable of picking up the HBO, I am sure. I myself enjoy Cathouse, The Series. It is freakin fantastic, am I wrong?
Of course, I only watch it to document the steady moral decay of capitalism.

User avatar
Cathouse Comrade BigFurHat? One of my first decress as Commissar of Eco-Prostitution and Mental Health was to ban the term "Cathouse" as a divisive, exclusionary reactionary term, not to mention the rather distasteful association with the cat beast species. At the Pup's Party Pleasure Houses, we refer to ourselves as a facility, an institute, or sometimes simply "going to work," though of course serving the needs of the collective (not to mention increasing my subsidies) can hardly be considered work.

User avatar
Commissar,
I had no idea the term "Cathouse" was being used as a divisive, exclusionary reactionary term.
I've never watched it with the sound on.
The show is about poor women who have falsely believed in the capitalistic system and cannot afford clothes. Good willed men visit to rub on them and try and warm them up, am I wrong?
Many regrets,
BFH

Of course you realize that in the People's Cube vernacular, HBO stands for "Hate Bush Orgasm" - a favorite entertainment of progressive elites (second only to solving the People's Cube puzzle). We are picking the HBO everywhere and every time, with or without special devices. But the clearer the reception, the stronger the HBO - in that sense your statement is correct.

I must try Kalashnikov's big hat for size one of these days. It does look like a small satellite dish! The horny old bastard, not sharing HBO with the collective!

And Pupovich - that puts you under suspicion as well.

User avatar
Glorious Leader Red Cube, I believe you will find my People's hat is proper state approved proportion. It's width precisely matches the width of the ears. Can one say that about Kalishikov's or BigFurHat? Nyet! Those hats have their own gravity field.

Of course one day I hope to be able to exchange my hat for the Chairman's... one like the Chairman's, and his coat, pockets, accounts, Hummels.....

Glorious Leader, surely you must realize that dear Commissar Pupovich's political reliability has been in question for some time now. He was sporting a non-approved hat at a decadent little cross-dressing party held at his dacha last weekend:

My hat seems to be beyond my control. To avoid gulag I am considering renaming myself
TinyRussianHead.
Please advise.

One man's big hat is another man's tiny head.

The nature of the Socalist struggle is always a dynamism between control and uncontained fury. Your hat understands. In time, it will call you master.

We are all one misstep from the gulag, comrade formerly-known-as-BigFurHat! Enjoy your ration of vodka and beans, and thank Lenin and Mao for another day in worker's paradise.

Comrade Cat Beast, may I suggest that you avoid such comments in the future? Of course while our true progressives would never misunderstand nor stand for such divisive thinking, there yet remain a vast number of loyal, yet still not as enlightened, comrades of the female persuasion that envision other things when they hear about a "man's tiny head."

As our Glorious Leader so aptly pointed out in reference to our comrade's BigFurryHat, size does matter. Your point is well taken, Commissar.

IronyCurtain
Perhaps I am too new to the collective and don't want to seem overzealous in the reporting of others so that they may disappear in the night, but, regarding this "comrade" BigFurHat...
is it not noticable that his hat appears to be GROWING? Why, it's approaching Sputnik size.
May I suggest the possibility that this person is HOARDING rations? And why would a person feel the need to store an unequal amount? Surely, this bears further investigation...

User avatar
Hoarding rations... ya.. sure... hehe... ya... like I would really have a small motorized refrigerator in my hat to store chocolates and caviar... sure.
In my defense, comrades, remember "Objects from the Mir seem larger than they are."

User avatar
What kind of cute baby animals--and how many--were brutally murdered to make that hat?

User avatar
None. This is a living bear cub hibernating on my head.

User avatar
But it's springtime, and the salmon are spawning. Don't you think it's time the bear cub woke up and got himself something to eat?

And where's his mother?

Not to mention it's cruel to make him sleep on your tiny head.

User avatar
My hat is well fed and trained to sit happily upon my well proportioned head.
And if you ever want to do any spawning of your own I suggest you tend to your own babushka- if you get where I am going with this.

User avatar
Comrade BFH, because you are new I will overlook that last remark; however, I would ask other members of the Collective who have been here for much longer, to warn you of what can--and will--and does happen to proles who mouth off at Pinkie.

That's assuming there are any comrades out there who aren't afraid to speak up for fear it will happen to them . . . again.

User avatar
Would it help to tell you I was drunk when I wrote that?

User avatar
Yes and no. You must consider WHY you are drunk. What, or who, has driven you to drink? Made you miserable? Enraged you? Drained you of all hope (which, according to Obama, you never had to begin with anyway)? RUINED YOUR LIFE, AND THE ENTIRE WORLD WHICH YOU INHABIT . . . with lies . . . failed policies . . . blood for oil . . . the wanton destruction of all rights and liberties . . . Crimes Against Everything!

Whose fault is it, BigFurHat? Whose fault is it always? Who do you blame for everything? WHO?

Say it, BigFurHat. Say the name--the only name--that will get you off the hook every time!

One can't be too overzealous in the reporting of others, comrade. The Party is always behind its members. Watching. Closely. Very closely.

Here is my favorite illustration that describes the warm but responsible relations inside our tight collective.

The Inner Comrade is strong within BigFurHat. Let's cut him some slack. His innovative hat-held motorized refrigerator for hoarding food rations has the potential of becoming a state-issue item for privileged members in the Progressive World of Next Tuesday(TM). Besides, his line about "Objects from the Mir seem larger" betray a knack for Party-approved poetry that I'm sure would've melted Pinkie's heart if she weren't too drunk to focus on anything other than the size of the comrade's organs.

User avatar
Glorious Leader, I am not drunk--or at least not any drunker than usual, considering it's Friday night--and it was precisely because he melted my heart that I cut him some slack and gave him a warning not usually offered to anyone else! (Just ask anyone else, if they can still talk through their wired jaws).

And as for the "size" issue--well, with all due respect, Sir, I am not the one who keeps bringing that up.

User avatar
That's one of the best Freudian slips most decadent bourgeois double entendres ever posted on this site. (I'll go check your other posts now for similar ones I may have missed).

Hmmmm, I remember a time not long ago when I was honored to have done so.... then I discovered that my subsidy-loss ratio was not as profitable as I had thought. So for now, I will just keep a close close eye on the market and that hat, and hope it doesn't get any bigger.

Comrade....is there a question that this is the correct name? When I mentioned the Lubyanka Lads, I was not implying that was the name of the group. That is just the term that was commonly used in the MSM which referred to the fact that all of the Famished Four came from the same working class city. Their name was the Beetles. It is an historical fact... Sometimes, I truly do feel like I am the Old Guard Dog here.

Oh, I remember Uncle Beria and Uncle Stalin never quite understood the name, The Beetles, themselves. They kept thinking they were named after the insects that their scientists were trying to develop into super bugs that would destroy the peasantry of the world one day.

Speaking of recalcitrant others in the collective, what do we have to do to cure the signature that is supposed to attach. Sure it promises to do so, but always fails to show.

User avatar
I attached Comrade Curtain's avatar today. Hope he likes it.

Pupovich - this is how easily people (and dogs) begin to take things for granted. Remember the time when the Cube functioned without the avatars? They were not in the original intelligent design. But under the wise and caring leadership of the Party and the Polituro we have achieved an unparalleled success in our unstoppable growth and provided the masses with the rights to have their avatars. And now that is not enough and you also want signatures? To stand apart from the others even more? No! This is where we draw the line. Signatures can only be allowed when everybody has one and the same signature - which defeats the purpose of having signatures - which is why we have no signatures.

How much more individuality do you want, Pupovich? How far are you willing to go? Wear a smuggled Levi Strauss jeans costume maybe? Listen to loud jerky music? Eat ALPO Chop House Grill Experience? Where will it lead you? I'll tell you where. In the end you may wind up wearing a pink ballerina dress with a red bow. You have been denounced in this Party organ quite a few times, comrade. You have been purged, yet allowed to return to your Commissariat. Don't shove your luck, comrade!

Signatures? You mean as in signature blocks? Oh, we are so not doing that here! Not only do they needlessly clutter up posts--you already see my name and picture up there, is that not enough?--but they are little more than organs of shameless self-promotion, listing, nay, boasting of all the poster's latest accomplishments.

I'm on other boards where members go nuts with those things. Alas, some have more to promote than others, and you can imagine what that does to the self-esteem of those who don't have as many accomplishments. Indeed, some of those boards actually have rules about what you can put in your signature--e.g., no more than three lines--so that everything is uniform and consistent, and everyone is equal, and no one feels more accomplished than anyone else.

<br>How can I possibly compete with a signature like this? Not only must we never have signatures, Pupovich must add bringing up the subject of signatures to his list of charges for pending show trial.

User avatar
I must confess, I fell victim to a clever trap in the Cubes help page. I mistakenly assumed that since there were instructions on how to add a signature, complete with a check box that was supposed to activate said signature, that a WRECKER was at work here against the Party. Little did I know that the KGB had placed this option there to try and weed out self promoters. Clearly I am in need of increased vigilance.

There you go! An example of why I found it necessary to heroically throw myself on my own shovel, to breathe new fire into my comrades! Has some in the party grown too lazy that they now require the victim to supply ALL charges against himself? Would you have me be the judge and executioner as well Comrade? Is it not enough that I have provided the start? Or perhaps the Party needs yet another show trial once mine is complete!

User avatar
Yes. We trust you wouldn't mind paying for the bullets, as well as for the rent of the trial facilities, and salaries of all trial members, security guards, technicians, and the cleaning lady in a Che Guevara shirt. That includes, of course, their pension plans, medical benefits (with dental), social security, and unemployment insurance.

User avatar
Comrade Red Square, I would be proud to pay for this.....but of course I will need to stash my contributions and expropriations away to pay the bribes that may prove necessary, or my funeral arrangements, which are quite extensive. Perhaps I can charge it on this Red Express credit card that I found at the Party Pleasure House. You would no doubt recognize the name on the card. Actually, the way things are going, those fees will be going to me since given the laxidasical Party response so far, I will be able to refute the charges and demand reparations upon completion. The Party will owe me for this one day. But I do this For the Party, for the Common Good as I am sure you will see.

I tend to suspect BigFurHat of keeping his Socialist Wisdom to himself, using it prophylactically. It is our first duty, comrades, to share our wisdom, our knowledge, our experience. For after all, if the world is not made miserable, squalid, and sordidwealthy, happy and progressive by Socialism how will it be made so?

So BigFurHat, be sure to punch lots of holes in it so that the space waves from Laika can fully get to your tin-foil hat so that you may dispense them to the proles.
