Yesterday was wicked good. I had work to do, lots of work, and I wasn't keen on doing it all at one sitting. SO, I put on my coon skin hat, loaded up my viking pipe, and went to the Washington Square Park. Just as I thought, it was warm enough for the bums to be playing chess. Immediately after walking into their arena, one bum yells out "LooooOOkin for a chess player. WhoooOOOOO's a chess player?" I immediatly went up to him, and handed him eight bucks and said "Listen pal, there's eight bucks, I need some heavy duty training." He goes "this will get you half an hour." I knew I could stretch it. "Sure, whatever." We start playing, and I think he was relieved to know that I had previous bum training. I tried to learn as much as I could from him, but I could only understand about 12% of what he ever said because he was missing most of his teeth and was probably from Shangri-La. Nevertheless we played for a whopping hour and a half, (wicked good) and my pipe stayed lit that whole time. (probably because it's the huge viking pipe) After all was done, I went back to my room to finish my filthy work.
Today I went to go get a hat for the Mad Hatter, so I went to the halloween store and said "I need a mad hatter top hat" and the guy said "yeah, we have it follow me." So he takes me round the back. and then brings out this WICKED AWESOME HUGE TOP-HAT. I was like "That's it man, how much is it." He goes "100$." I immediatley said something to the effect of "blow me." Well not really but I said "Do I look like the type of person who would spend lots of money on stupid hats?" Meanwhile I was wearing the coon skin hat. Long story short, I had to buy an Abe Lincoln kit that came with a hat and beard. The hat wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, and hey, now I have a little beard to wear to all my classes.
