After a typically silly &amp;#91morning|afternoon|evening] in the ChatterBox, in which it was discovered that [Detonite|someone] had given himself a stylish hat in his homenode pic, I am proud to announce that 3rd - 10th July is Officially* PerlMonks Silly Hat Week&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt;!&lt;p&gt;

The concept it simple, those wishing to take part edit their homenode pictures to include a silly hat of whatever variety they choose into the photo and upload it for the duration of the week.  Consider it a dress-down-Thursday for Perlmonks but with Silly Hats&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt; and for a whole week!
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;FAQ&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Can I wear whatever hat I like?&lt;br&gt;
Yes, any form of headgear is acceptable.  As long as it doesn't break any of the other rules of homenode pics you can wear what you want (but please wear pants, [diotalevi|you know who you are]!)
&lt;p&gt;
How long can I wear my hat for?&lt;br&gt;
Well, Perlmonks Silly Hat &lt;b&gt;Week&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt; Kind of implies this silliness lasts for a week, but I guess you could keep your hat on as long as you want.
&lt;p&gt;
Will there be prizes for the best hats?&lt;br&gt;
No, unless you want to provide them and judge yourself.
&lt;p&gt;
$Some_other_monk has the same hat as me!&lt;br&gt;
And now you know what women feel like when they go to a party and someone else is wearing the same dress.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;Update&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Where's your hat?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strike&gt;It's not Monday yet, I need the whole weekend to prepare a suitably silly hat.&lt;/strike&gt;  Right there!  What's your excuse?&lt;/Update&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;small&gt;* Silly Hat Week is in no way endorsed by perlmonks.org&lt;/small&gt;

My cow-orkers were talking in punctuation the other day.  What disturbed me most was that I understood it.
