Greater hats

James Beamish-White — Thu, 25 Jul 2002 15:32:41 GMT

Just wondering what the next several layers of hats are going to be, considering JRF is edging closer to 30K, and I'm sure someone'll be reaching towards 50K in the next year.

I'd like to suggest 'Avatar', 'Demi-god', 'God', and 'Super-bunny' ;-P

Just for a laugh!

From my point of view, the current hats are good enough...

For now, I agree that what we have is fine. Since the current top hat is at 20000, I don't really think we need another till maybe 50,000 or 75,000.

What those should be......

Hi James,

my guess is that we simply will see *real* pictures of Jim and Clay, instead of any "hat" for the two of them!

Just my $0.00002,
Wodisch (on his way back to his "Wizzard" hat)

Perhaps a real "top hat" like Fred Astaire use to wear....8^) Or just a lot of colored hats like at:

Personally I never looked good in hats.

Thanks for participating in the forums,

Hey Bill,

You're not bald....you just have a very tall wrap-around forehead =~)

And...."Grass don't grow on a busy street!"

Cheers my friend,
Jeff

When Bill get's his next hat, should he be known as the 'sheik' ?

At least it will be warm.....

I think that a knoted handkerchief hat would be suitable for some one that should be sitting back and relaxing after all that effort.

In the meantime I would'nt mind an interim firemans hat between Graduate and Wizzard (My wifes got a thang about firemen in uniform :@).

How about a jesters hat for those people that don't assign points to most of the responses to their questions? Obviously there'd need to be some care taken, as it wouldn't be fair to mark people asking their first few question(s).

On the higher levels, maybe rather than having more hats, we could have graded hats by marking them with a star.

eg: 20,000 Olympian
30,000 Olympian *
etc

May be a bit of a cop-out from having to be more inventive with the headgear.

I don't think we need more hats at the moment.

We're well square. Only 2 are Olympians, and the next one to become one has a long way to go.

When the best was Royalty, there were 30+ and more having that type of hat. Some were over the 10,000 mark already, which needed some sort of new hats to be invented.

Currently, we are ok I would say.

I would suggest that when one reaches that high they should be able to select their own hat.

When people grow over 50k points, they should be sent at holiday, for example to Hawaii. HP will pay. As soon as they come back, they will have a smiley with a palmtree. :)

God would be an uncomfortable hat for a mortal to wear in any religion but for the Christian faith a Crown of Thorns may be a bit too prickly.
