@gleick The marching band at my high school wore hats like that, about a half century ago.

[fartnuggets@jorts.horse]

@gleick they got it all wrong - it's the current guy who wears a Russian hat

@gleick

not widely known but abraham lincoln moonlit as a castle guard for the wicked witch of the west.

o-wee-oh.

[icewolf@masto.brightfur.net]

@gleick He looks like a color-inverted version of those british soldiers(?) with the funny fuzzy hats.

[starkrg@myside-yourside.net]

@gleick Is this how Buckingham palace guards got their hats? Originally they were top hats, but they got a redesign after a particularly snowy winter.

@gleick No, I am a bronze popsicle

[retreival9096@hachyderm.io]

@gleick I didn't realize Abraham Lincoln used to be one of the guards at Buckingham Palace.

[12thrits@mstdn.social]

@gleick Lincoln still keeping a cool head in the worst times.

[thepoliticalcat@mastodon.social]

@gleick Nice hat.

@gleick@mas.to As someone who had to shovel this today, that's at least 50 kilos on his head.

[jmax@mastodon.social]

@gleick - Insulated stovepipe hat!

@gleick No wonder he was shot in a theatre - nobody could see anything if they sat behind him. #TooSoon?
