The Deer Stalker   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #324 of 2868 |


A deerstalker is defined in two ways. Firstly, a man who stalks deer. This is
always a man as women are far too sensible. Secondly, as the hat worn by the man
while he stalks the aforementioned deer.

This hat is usually made of a checked material and is probably most recognisable
as the hat worn by one Sherlock Holmes, although it must be stressed that there
is no evidence to suggest that Holmes himself ever engaged in the stalking of
deer. A further notable feature of this hat are the two pieces of fabric that
can be folded down around the head to keep the ears warm, or make your voice
louder.

The latter of these is one of the less obvious consequences of utilising this
feature of the Deerstalker and is sourced from the same logic as the vocal
volume increase caused by the use of a personal stereo. Another of the less
obvious consequences of the Deerstalker is that, when in the folded-down
position, it makes you look like an utter fool.

This has lead some parties to speculate that the reason the Deerstalker is so
used by deerstalkers is because of the hat's ability to guarentee even the most
glamorous and charismatic, a place in the 100 Most Ridiculed People on the
Planet. And while the deer is giggling uncontrollably at the sight Deerstalker,
the deerstalker is able to blow a hole through it's chest with a gun.
