HATS, BITCH!
THIS CONTEST HAS CLOSED! LOOK FOR THE WINNERS ON APRIL 27th!!
A long time ago (9 months) in a galaxy far, far away (Atlanta, Georgia), I met up with fellow blogger Copasetic Beth for THE event in the South last year: Davelanta. We had big fun touring the infamous World of Coke Without Lime, but the best part was when Beth gave me a beautifully embroidered hat she made featuring DaveDevil inviting the world to "Try Evil."
I love that hat.
It has been my faithful companion as I travel the globe, keeping my head warm, my messy hair hidden, and my life complete...
Everybody else seems to like my hat too. This was made perfectly clear to me when some bastard tried to steal it while I was waiting at an airport. Of course, this meant he had to die. But then I remembered that I'm not quite that evil, so I had to let him go. Though I do remember hoping he died of shame after I was finished screaming at him.
And so... when it came time to think up prizes for Blogiversary 5, this choice was obvious. All I had to do was threaten bribe beg ask Beth if she'd be willing to make them for me. Luckily she said yes, and so I came up with three new styles I liked, meaning I'll be offering four styles total in the Artificial Duck Co. Store...
The hat Beth gave me is a super-high-quality Champion® 6-panel brushed cotton twill cap with adjustable strap. It's so comfy to wear that I wouldn't dream of selling anything else. And, needless to say, the embroidery is top-notch... beautifully stitched in painstaking detail. Make no mistake, these are one fashion accessory you can't live without!
And now for today's prizes!

THIS CONTEST HAS CLOSED! LOOK FOR THE WINNERS ON APRIL 27th!!
PLEASE NOTE...
As with all of the new Blogography stuff presented this week, the hats will be made sometime in May for Delivery in June. This will give me time to accept pre-orders and figure out how many pieces I'll need to have embroidered. Winners will be announced on Bullet Sunday 79 on April 27th, and the Artificial Duck Store will reopen at that time so everybody who wants to buy stuff can get their orders in.
I love comments! However, all comments are moderated, and won't appear until approved. Are you an abusive troll with nothing to contribute? Don't bother. Selling something? Don't bother. Spam linking? Don't bother.
PLEASE NOTE: My comment-spam protection requires JavaScript... if you have it turned off or are using a mobile device without JavaScript, commenting won't work. Sorry.
Holy Crap! I get more excellent comments on my Try Evil shirt than any other shirt I own. And I’m thinking that a hat would be kind of make it like a Duet Of Evil. If I also wear my pin, then it is a TRIFECTA OF EVIL. WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!
OMG WOW! Yes! Amazing! They are all awesome! I’m so voting for the “try evil” one!
No need to vote… we’re already making all four of them! 🙂
Now this makes me hot! I love wearing hats on the weekends so I will gobbling these up like a hat whore :).
Am going to go so so much overtime… must get the money to get the hats… oh, how I love the hats!
And I’d forgotten about the video – ‘milk and cereal, cereal and milk, cereal and milk!’ – a welcome earworm!
I totally love the Try Evil hat. How dare some dork try to steal it! Grrrr. I’m sure you shamed him mercilessly with your screaming.
LOVE these caps! I’ll be checking into a couple of them anyway – perfect with a convertible to keep me from going all Rudolph. 😉
Had a super crazy day. Love coming home to Blogiversary 5 day 3!
Why don’t I remember you talking about someone trying to steal your hat? You did blog about it, right?
I’m in love… Peace on orange… J’adore ! :)))
Would love any of the hats. Maybe, if I am picked as the winner, one of them will replace my lucky hat: a 10 year old Timberland hat that goes with me on every trip I take.
A hat like that would totally get me some action…
meanwhile I’m chained to a sewing machine pumping out threaded monkeys….***help***
heh. I’m loving the superman Dave up in the top right corner! But. Then I clicked comments and it disappeared. *sad* so Now I will hit reload reload reload until it appears again!
Woot!
Those hats rock…and Cambodia and Vietnam are truly amazing, totally go there! (and Laos, Malaysia and Borneo too!)
I plan on completely stealing your general concept of a blogiversary for my 5 year next year. It’s such a great idea.
O-o-o-o, I think I wet myself. I’ll need a hat to cover my embarrassment when I stand up.
I’ve been waiting for this moment! Hats!
The duck hat rocks!
OMG!
Orange!
Must… have… orange…
Dave:
I’m going it piss my pants if you keep this up. These hats rock!
I’m still wearing last years shirts and they’re great. If the hats are half as comfy all I’ll need are some Blogography boxers and I’ll be set.
**heehee**I think I have enough comments but what great fun to re-live that post!
I look horrible in orange yet still want that hat. I want them all, actually.
I hope it was ME who shamed you into eating a banana!
Awesome hats!! I am soooo all over them.
I had to search dude, but between “Karen Sugarpants” and “Karen Rani” I squeaked in with exactly ten comments in that timeline.
I should comment more. Now I just feel like I’m here for a hat. Which truly, I love – and if I could delivery Elizabeth Hurley to you, I would. That’s how much I love you.
Well, if I did get to vote, I would have chosen Try Evil. You can’t go wrong with black. Or evil.
Those hats rock!
Oboy, oboy! I need a new monkey hat. My favorite Curious-George-in-a-spacesuit cap is about to give up the ghost. Bad Monkey is the new Curious George of the 21st Century!….
I love the hats and even if I don’t win I’m going to get one for when I start treatment and don’t want to wear a wig. What’s better than a Peace Monkey for people to stare at when they are noticing the fact that you have a bald head?
Depeche Mode – I’ve never heard of them
Does the dave store take paypal?
I give Copasetic Beth an orgasm 6 times a week, but she won’t give me a hat!! What exactly did you two do when I went to the bathroom at World of Coke Without Lime in Atlanta????
Interestingly enough, the answer to all of the questions is “Wayne”. thanx for the plug, Dave!
